Pop, Videos | Timeflies – All The Way [Music Video]
Posted by Grubeats on February 18, 2014
Whether you like extreme sports, graffiti wall art, big time radio smash pop hits, Anastasia Ashley’s ass, or all of the above, Timeflies new video might just tickle your fancy. One of the perks of signing to a major label is of course the sizable production that goes into each release. Evident here, Cal, Rez, and the entire team put in work on this video. Their latest Benny Benassi co-produced single is catching radio onto radio waves across the nation, and this video only solidifies the capacity of this track. Stay up, album coming soon!

Freestyle, Pop, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – All You Need Is Love

Necco Sweethearts may be the most disappointing candy of all time. Terrible texture, flavor that makes you question what combination of poison you’re eating, and a feeling like these candies were mass produced in 1938. Much like Sweet Tarts did, Cal and Rez came through and injected some life into these faintly beating hearts (sweet and sour hearts all day). So, whether you’re single, taken, or in your own mind – both, enjoy this Valentines Day appetizer.

Cover, Videos | Mikey Bolts does “The Monster” in Family Guy Voices

Listen, I’m no Family Guy groupie, nor have I ever heard of this dude Mikey Bolts until my buddy introduced him to me over the weekend, but he has some serious talent. If you breathe Oxygen, you should be able to recognize at least two of these voices. Do I think it’s kind of strange how his facial expressions look eerily like the cartoons themselves? Yes, without a doubt. Do I wish I could pull off those impersonations? Yes, without a doubt. Any way you cut it, this Bolts kid has skills. Check out his YouTube channel for more Family Guy covers.
Cover, Mashups, Videos | Timeflies Tuesday – Red Hot Bruno Peppers

Timeflies throw it back, but also keep it current with a mashup cover of Scar Tissue x Grenade. After a recent announcement that the RHCP would be added to the likes of Bruno Mars and whatever other Super Bowl surprises, this could be a realistic preview of what’s to come Sunday night. Taking one of the best songs of the best decade, the 90’s, and lacing it with Bruno Mars’ 2010 hit, this is certainly a unique release for Cal and Rez. On top of indulging in this Tuesday release, grab an earful of Laidback Luke’s remix of Timeflies recent single, “All The Way”, below.

Freestyle, Hip-Hop | 24 Freestyle – Logic ft. QuESt, Castro, & Jon Bellion (Prod. By 6ix)
Posted by Grubeats on January 27, 2014
Those of you who watched the Grammy’s last night likely have an opinion, one way or the other, on the Best Rap Album of 2013 award. I have endless amounts of respect for both K.Dot and Mack & RL. Both deserved multiple Grammy’s for their performance in 2013 and the fact that Kendrick came out with a donut is disappointing for hip-hop. You may ask how this is relevant to the new track VMG dropped today- valid question. Music has evolved over the years. There are more sub-genre’s in 2014 than ever before. Artists are experimenting with different sounds, fusing different genre’s, and new sub-genre’s are being born. The artists representing Visionary are a prime example of this.
Although these artists often experiment to create new sounds, you can’t help but love a raw, bar dropping freestyle cypher. Last week Logic celebrated his 24th birthday with a few friends. Those friends just so happened to be label mates Jon Bellion, QuESt, ©. Castro, & producer 6ix. The celebrating just so happened to take place in the studio. Do you think the rest of the game is scared yet?

Hip-Hop, Rap | Azad Right – Bad Energy
Posted by Grubeats on January 23, 2014
LA native, Azad Right, takes a moment to reflect on the hatred and misfortune that he and his community have experienced in the recent months. While the majority of hip-hop you probably hear is warm and often even diluted, Azad ensure’s the field that he’s here to offer introspective rhymes fed from the world around him. “Bad Energy” was initially slated to be the outro to his upcoming project, For The Hopeful, but unable to hold this one back, Azad chose to let his fans have an unexpected gift.
If you’re feeling this one, be sure to peep Azad’s live Shade 45 freestyle over Dead Presidents II.

Albums, Alternative, Hip-Hop | Aer – Aer [Album]
Posted by Grubeats on January 22, 2014
Sitting pretty at the number 5 spot on iTunes top 10 album list, Aer’s self titled album might be taking noobs by storm, but it’s exactly what their loyal fan base has been anticipating. Covering all the bases, the 12-track project is diverse enough to fulfill multiple moods, but stays within the walls of Aer’s self constructed genre. Attributing their success to their organic word-of-mouth FAMily, David and Carter did spend a fair amount of time writing and recording in LA, but finished the album up in their hometown studio…David’s bedroom.
“In the hills or the valley, and were far from the finale, I want this so badly, no I won’t let go.”
Aside from their previously released singles (“Won’t Laugh”, “Spades, Clubs, & Diamonds”, and “Says She Loves Me”), my immediate favorites are “Pretty Lady”, “Stars” and “Movin’ It”. Recline, kick up your feet and enjoy this project while you support the dudes on iTunes.
