Chill, Hip-Hop, Rap | Billy Chambers – Lake House Lullaby
Posted by admin on November 7, 2014
A few weeks back, Billy Chambers grabbed my attention with his bouncy Galimatias-produced track, “Gold”. This week he returned with “Lake House Lullaby” which continues to push forward his new sound. Chambers has the ability to tell a story that captivates and brings the reader in to his shoes. A talent that many strive for, but few actually achieve.
Enjoy this first sampling of the young DMV representative, because I’m sure that there is plenty more to come.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Saba – Burnout (ft. Eryn Allen Kane)
Posted by admin on October 27, 2014
A few months ago I featured the Chicago emcee Saba for his single “Burnout”. Now the standout from the project has some accompanying visuals. The paper mache, animated scenes make Saba’s performance footage that much more interesting and show his ride through a dystopian Chicago landscape in a lens that could not have been predicted.
For any Los Angeles fans, Saba will be opening for the A$AP Mob as a part of Red Bull’s 30 Days in Concert series on November the 30th. Be sure to stop by, and enjoy the video from one of Chicago’s fastest rising stars.
Ambient, Chill, Electro | Katy Perry – California Gurls (Matt DiMona Remix)
Posted by admin on October 27, 2014
There’s nothing to remind you that the summer is slowly slipping away than a tropical house remix to Katy Perry.
Matt DiMona gave vibey a new meaning and completely flipped the original Perry song on its head. DiMona has stated that he is trying to find “the balance between irresistibly catchy, sing-along pop and pretty, emotional music.” With this remix I can see he’s on his way to doing just that.
“California Gurls” is already tearing apart the Hype Machine charts, so catch it while it’s hot!
Electro, Electronic | ELEL – 40 Watt (Daytrip Remix)
Posted by admin on October 27, 2014
After shutting down a New York City show with Cashmere Cat and Trippy Turtle, the duo professionally known as Daytrip dropped a killer remix to ELEL’s “40 Watt”. Between the pitched up vocals, shredded guitar riffs, and orchestral sounding synths, you can tell from the gate that the song is a hit.
It has been over a month since we’ve heard any original material from Daytrip, so be on the look out for more music right around the corner.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Marc Goone – Mike Matheny
Posted by admin on October 20, 2014
After an extended hiatus, Marc Goone has returned with bigger and badder plans for his take over. First single, “Mike Matheny”, is a song about bad decisions. Marc’s tongue-in-cheek type of writing style makes for a hilarious, weird, and unique song.
It’s been nearly a year since Marc has released any music, but it’s clear that he’s spent the time off honing his voice and prepping for this forthcoming album.
Enjoy, “Mike Matheny”, and check back in soon for more from Marc Goone.
Hip-Hop, Rap | Pell – Wait On Me (ft. Dent May)
Posted by admin on October 10, 2014
The New Orleans emcee, Pell, has returned with his newest visual for “Wait On Me”. The video is put together well and Dent May compliments the chorus perfectly. The vibey sound makes it perfect to rock out alone to, or cruise around playing in the car.
Future projects are still undisclosed, but things appear to be heating up for Pell. With his melodic and soothing voice, it’s hard to imagine a world without his music infiltrating the airwaves.
Also, if you missed it, be sure to check out Pell’s live rendition of “Fresh Produce” here, and see his voice in action.
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes, Rap | Jon Waltz – Alyss (EP)
Posted by admin on October 10, 2014
After numerous praise-worthy singles, the time has finally come for Jon Waltz’s full project. Accompanied by a unique story and visual representation, “Alyss”, proves to be an incredibly cohesive and well thought-out body of work.
In my mind, Waltz is still actively searching to find his voice, as well as his core audience. There are moments on the EP where one can hear obvious Drake influences, or perhaps the out layer of a Skizzy Mars shell that is shedding. That being said, Jon Waltz and “Alyss” speak to a very different group of people than both of the aforementioned artists.
For kids trying to find their place in the world, or young adults that simply like to question why things happen the way they do, “Alyss” is a must listen.
