Hip-Hop | Gym Class Heroes-The Fighter
Posted by ATexas on November 8, 2011
Their third single to drop from their new album, the Papercut Chronicles II (being dropped in 1 week). It’s an infusion of One Republic’s Ryan Tedder and Travie McCoy going at it on one single. The catchy hook is poppy as always and I’m not as impressed with it as I am with the Neon Hitch collaboration. With their collaborations with Adam on Stereo Hearts, Neon Hitch with Ass Back Home and Ryan on this, I’m intrigued to see if GCH did any solo work on their album. C’mon Travie, sometimes less is more!

Hip-Hop | Mac Miller-My Team
Posted by ATexas on November 7, 2011
Produced by Clams Casino, this leak “My Team” may be released tomorrow on the full album “Blue Slide Park.” This leak comes right before the album drop, hopefully a sign of what is to come. I’m really holding my breath on this release, seeing an artist grow this much from no one to the one is a lot of pressure. Hopefully it isn’t another Mr. Rager, a lot of hype with a huge fan base leading to a so-so album. With his previous EPs being how they are , I wonder what Pittsburgh producer I.D. Labs did to Mac for Blue Slide Park. With 16 huge tracks coming at us tomorrow, we shall see what is to become of Mac’s career.

Hip-Hop | Gym Class Heroes ft. Neon Hitch- Ass Back Home
Posted by ATexas on November 3, 2011
Although you have to buy it on iTunes, (or find it on mediafire) this song is your classic Gym Class Heroes. Neon Hitch throws down for the chorus giving us a melodic rock-infused tune. This second single is probably is trying to live up to Stereo Hearts and is featured on their 5th LP. I’m excited to see what else comes up from the LP.

Hip-Hop | LaVish- It’s All Good
Posted by ATexas on October 24, 2011
LaVish is a cali up and comer who is about to release his EP Polaroid, obviously. I could describe the song as a bunch of synth chords, with percussion and a rhythm that makes you think “It’s all good,” but it’s all about remembering that things are always going to work out. Let the drum and bells let you sync into relax mode.
PS: Go Texas Rangers! Dude, have the name for a reason.

Albums | XV-Blame Yourself
Posted by ATexas on October 17, 2011
Paying homage to a genre being brought back, XV mixes old school R&B with a new age feel. GLC, Casey Veggies and Emilio Rojas gang up with Seven to produce “Blame Yourself.” After the hook starts youre going to download it, so maybe just save yourself some trouble and click download now? It’s totally up to you. This Warner Bros artist is coming up big and hot.

Hip-Hop | K-OS & Drake- Faith Part 2
Posted by ATexas on October 5, 2011
K-OS and Drake threw down to make Faith Part 2, after their first release last August, its been a long time coming. The song is set up pretty differently, knowing K-OS that’s not that bizarre. Let the first verse ride out to the guitar soul beat and the hook is wicked old school. With artists like Jay and Kanye hooking up with Otis, it seems that old school meets the newbies is not a passing trend.

Hip-Hop | Mac Miller-On Some Real Shit Pt. 2
Posted by ATexas on October 4, 2011
Slowing it down to spit “some real shit.” November 8th still going to be the date that Blue Slide Park comes out? I highly doubt that, go pre-order your copy on iTunes so he will release it earlier! If not, listen to Mac “come into the booth and just speak.” It’s necessary to just slow down and think, something that you forget about doing when you’re caught up with all the modern day stimulations.
