Hip-Hop | Chiddy Bang – Ray Charles

Posted by on November 14, 2011

Chiddy Bang just dropped the first single off their debut album, Breakfast, which has yet to get a release date. The track samples the soul legend himself. There is actually a funny story about how the guys got their inspiration which you can read about on Rolling Stone. As for the track itself, it doesn’t have the typical electro-pop beat that we’re used to getting from Xaphoon, but the track is dope regardless.

Electro, Pop, RnB, Videos | De-Lor – That We Loved (Sex Ray Vision Rmx) (Music Video)

Weeks after a very successful project debut, De-Lor brings us the first video since we saw “Beautiful Life” before the release of j’adore.  This is definitely a change of pace for De-Lor from what we’ve seen in the past, but with SRV turning this track into a dance bomb, a house party was necessary for the video.  This once again shows De-Lor’s versatility and I hope he continues to bring us such a wide array of music.

With 15 days till the release of his debut album, Donald Glover dropped the video to Bonfire earlier today. The video itself is nothing short of creepy, but what else did you expect from him? Not to mention that it is the night of Halloween. Camp drops November 15th.

Hip-Hop, Videos | Mac Miller – Party On 5th Ave (Music Video)

After hearing the rip of this track after it’s Hot 97 debut on Tuesday, Mac gives MTV the honors of releasing the official video.  This marks the third official single off Mac’s debut album, Blue Slide Park, and I believe it’s produced by E. Dan.  As BIGLIFE was saying the other day, I’m not sure this album is going to live up to it’s hype.  It’s hard to say because Mac’s mixtapes have been absolute gems, which makes me wonder, did he set the bar too high for himself?

I respect the fact that he’s not featuring any other artists on the album, which is extremely rare, especially for a debut album, but judging by what I’ve heard so far I’m slightly disappointed.  Frick Park Market is my favorite of the three tracks released to date and that hook sounds dangerously similar to “Donald Trump”.  I think Mac’s verses on “Blue Slide Park” and “Party On 5th Ave” have been on point, but the hooks are less than I expected.  In Mac’s favor, his single’s always seem to grow on me, so hopefully that’s the case with these.

What’s everyone’s thoughts on Blue Slide Park thus far?

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Mac Miller – Rare Mixtape

Posted by on October 18, 2011

What are the odds that today I felt like compiling all the rare Mac Miller tracks that have been releasing everyday this month, to only have his fan site do it and include some extras that the Mac himself added. Odds are 1 in a billion, if I’m feeling lucky, haha. Well with that said there is now a second mixtape before the release of Mac Miller’s new album. Over the past month Mac has been dropping old and new, rare, unreleased tracks hyping up for his debut album. I am no die hard fan, but I enjoy Mac Miller and most of what he drops including this. If you are a die hard fan, which many are these days. You will love this, and if not well I’m sure you will anyways.
