Hip-Hop, Review | Grubeats’ Top 12 of ’12
Posted by Grubeats on January 14, 2013
Grubeats; fashionably tardy as always. I can’t promise I’ve saved the best for last, but hopefully this eclectic mix of tracks tickle’s at least party of your fancy. I’d enjoy hearing from you in the comments section if you have opinions on any of these songs!
12.) Skizzy Mars – Sirens
This young star didn’t sound my radar until late spring of ’12. I had heard the name and few scattered verses, but overlooked the true talent Skizzy Mars was bringing to the table until I first heard “Sirens”. With sounds similar to a young Cudi, Skizzy himself only recently graduated high school and has only begun to lie the brick and mortar for long, prosperous career.
11.) Skrillex & Damian Marley – Make It Bun Dem
As you probably know, I’m not a die heard EDM head like many writers and followers of this site. No kandi for this kid. I do however, enjoy just about anything Skrillex lays his hands on. Couple the addictive production with Damian Marley’s rasta raps and you have pure gold. If and when hip-hop and EDM cross paths, this is the type of execution I expect. [Watch video HERE]

Freestyle, Pop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – Die Young
Posted by Grubeats on January 9, 2013

Holy biscuits, Cal and Rez just made gravy out of Ke$ha’s chart topping single, “Die Young”. Back to the old school Timeflies Tuesday format, Cal freestyle’s topics from the infamous basket supplied by Rez… like he actually freestyles. Since the Mayan’s are a bunch of goons who can’t get their predictions straight, the fellas thought it was only appropriate to remix this lively track feeding off apocalypse movies & songs and Twinkies, of course. Who else in the game is crushing remix freestyles like this?

Hip-Hop, Videos | Dillon Cooper – Survival Of The Fittest [Music Video]

Dillon Cooper is on the brink of breaking out of his shell – no pun intended (get it? Brink. Brink Brinker. Disney Movie. Rollerblades. Dillon Cooper blades.). Poised with passion, energy, and a special musical blessing, Brooklyn’s own Dillon Cooper shares the first video single off of his forthcoming debut project, Cozmik. Cooper’s musical inspiration is driven by spirit of pro roller blade skater and best friend Brian “Cozmik” Scott, who was tragically murdered during a BK robbery back in 2010.
The 19-year old may have only lived through the tail end of hip-hop’s golden era, but he packs a full flare of raw, 90’s inspiration into his music. A spunky freshness comparable to Bel-Air’s Prince, Cooper showcases his wordplay while staying very animated in front of the camera. Speaking of the camera, “Survival of the Fittest” was directed and edited by Hi-Lite Reel Boston. Stay tuned, big things coming from this young gun.
Cozmik, ??/??/??.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Azad Right – I Luv The Way You Taste (Prod. by Shlohmo)

Mr. Right, it’s been a minute, welcome back sir. “I Luv The Way You Taste”, which is receiving West Coast air time as we speak, marks the first single off Azad’s upcoming project. Despite the suggestively provocative cover art that you may or may not have noticed just yet, Azad insists it’s not as vulgar as one may expect. Haha. All I’ll say is that I wouldn’t suggest sharing this with your pre-teen siblings. With a full plate in 2013 (no pun intended), Azad will surely be turning even more heads than he has in the past couple years. Expect some BIG records from this L.A. sushi connoisseur.

Hip-Hop, Pop | Jared Evan – Letters [Music Video]

In a saturated digital age, we sometimes forget the power of pen on papyrus. In his heartwarming track off his 2012 EP, The 4th Chapter, the NYC native Jared Evan pours his heart onto the paper illustrating his emotions in the form of “Letters”. Coming clean through his gravitating vocals, the multi talented musician reminds us he is a rapper at heart, dropping the third verse in rap form, reiterating his feelings through his newly scripted letters.
There’s a lot on the horizon for Jared. I can tell you for certain he has a joint project on the way with Statik Selektah titled “Boom Bap & Blues” along with some collaborative work with Hoodie Allen and likely another original, solo project.
