Hip-Hop, Pop, Videos | Hoodie Allen – Fame is for Assholes (Video)
Posted by J_Salzer on February 18, 2013
Call me an asshole, but I wouldn’t mind being famous. Either way, Hoodie Allen is doing it right. Hoodie goes back to the Leap Year rapping days on this, and I love it. Chiddy does his thing as always, and drops a few sweet bars. Crew Cuts drops in two days. See you then. I don’t know what happened to our hip-pop tab, but this is definitely hip-pop, so just pretend that’s what it says.
Indie, Pop | Blondfire – Where The Kids Are (Math Bishop Remix)
Posted by Mel on February 14, 2013
As hard as it is to believe, there comes a time when a person needs a break from house music. I’ll undoubtedly suffer from intense withdrawals in a week or so, but for now I’m enjoying our time apart. One of the tracks that have made the transition easy for me has been Math Bishop’s latest remix. He takes Blondfire’s rock infused original “Where The Kids Are” and makes it a happy sounding delight. I’m not a huge fan of indie, but I just can’t stop listening to this track.

Having the opportunity to see an artist’s creative process from start to finish is a beautiful thing. When you find an artist as talented as Jon that takes so many intricate steps when creating a record, you really develop a whole new appreciation for the craft. After releasing the forth video single, “The Wonder Years,” off his upcoming free album Translations Through Speakers just a week ago, Jon Bellion reveals how the record came about.
Pop | Stafford Brothers – Hello ft. Lil Wayne & Christina Milian (Pleather Remix)
Posted by Jess on February 11, 2013
In stark contrast to the original version of the track, Pleather comes through with a unique and smooth take on Stafford Brothers’s Cash Money single “Hello”. Switching gears from the original, the remix feels more like an 80s love ballad than a club anthem. In my opinion, the production fits the vocals of Christina Milian and Lil Wayne even better than the original. The track becomes available on Beatport on the 14th, but you can download it today for free! Make sure you become a fan of Pleather on Facebook to stay up on future releases.

Ahh, the wonder years. When your biggest concern was whether you’re going to have your PB&J cut into halves or quarters. When having a tough day at work meant going 1-4 in your kickball game at recess. Our friend Jon Bellion releases his newest set of GRVTY visuals leading up to the release of Translations Through Speakers, due late this month. Jon reflects on childhood memories during “The Wonder Years”, pointing out the simple things that made life so enjoyable growing up. Sure, being an adult is great for many reasons, but we will always feel that itch to relive the greatest care free years of our lives.
