Hip-Hop | The Deep Boyz – Fast Lane (feat. Fly Ty)
Posted by J_Salzer on July 15, 2012
A name that many of you haven’t heard before, The Deep Boyz, have released their best(and latest) track to date. You haven’t heard the name before because this group hasn’t seen the blogosphere…ever. So you heard it here for ladies and gentleman. Destello, owner of the first verse, is shipping out to Afghanistan in a few weeks, so it seemed fitting to post one of his final tracks before he goes to serve our nation. The Deep Boyz have a style of street rap scantily seen on our college music blogs. Make sure you stop by Destello’s facebook and thank him for his service to our nation.
Girl Fire, Pop, Videos | Akon Performing “America’s Most Wanted” Live
Posted by A on June 4, 2012
I am so jacked up right now. I don’t think you really understand. When I was in college, Akon had an unbelievable run. He was on everyone’s single. He is forever a legend in my book. Last night, he debuted his “America’s Most Wanted” single while Miss Rhode Island absolutely crushed the stage. Talk about dream girl. She’s smart too. When she dropped “cognitive processes” on stage, she had it won. Expect this single to put Konvict Music’s el jefe back on top!
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Logic – Young Sinatra: Undeniable [Mixtape]
Posted by Grubeats on April 30, 2012
“I used to follow my dreams, until I caught up to them” – Logic
Word association. I say “Logic”, you say …? Lyrics, versatility, confidence? Those are just a few of the 22 year old’s most distinguished characteristics.
I was first introduced to Logic by Chris Zarou last July when he signed an independent record deal with Visionary Music Group. Christening my ears withLogic’s debut mixtape, Young, Broke, & Infamous, it was evident the young Maryland MC bolstered a repertoire unlike any other up and coming hip-hop artist. Mainstream beats, lyrics with a deeper flavor than seven layer lasagna, & a repeated intellectual and versatile flow. At that time, Logic had a slim 1,500 Facebook fans and a couple thousand Twitter followers. With very little blog coverage at that time, college sites began to join the movement which sparked a very successful sophomore mixtape, Young Sintra. Playing off his idol, the great Frank Sinatra, Logic’s fan base (shout out #RattPack & #BobbySoxers) was steadily growing. Logic has said Young Sinatra was a representation of the transformation of him turning from a boy into the young man he is today. Keeping the core values consistent with Young, Broke, & Infamous, Logic offered more originality and even more versatility. Serving up a blend of tracks for the streets, the avid fan of lyricism, college students, and even the fine groupie women (Bobby Soxer’s).
Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Chief Keef – Back From the Dead (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on March 20, 2012
Chief Keef is a Chicago boy that is making quite a buzz around the music industry, which even my boy Derrick Rose approves of. This isn’t you’re run of the mill college frat rap music, this is the complete polar opposite. This is straight up trap musik with real trap beats and bountiful gun shots. Just the way I like it. Word is that Sosa, Mr. Keef’s alter ego, just signed with Soulja Boy and his SODMG label, which makes sense with Soulja’s verse on the 3Hunna remix, so we might have a Riff Raff x Chief Keef collab which is almost up to BasedGod proportions. The story behind Chief Keef’s mixtape is actually a quite funny one, so I’ll let FakeShoreDrive elaborate:
My notable tracks would be “I Don’t Know Dem”, “Save That S@%t”, and “3Hunna remix”. Make sure you download this and peep those tracks and always keep it #3HUNNA. Shout to my boy Kilo who showed me Chief Keef. #BangBang!
