Hip-Hop | Logic – Mind Of Logic Ft. Camille Michelle Gray
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 30, 2011
Visionary Music Group, headed by Chris Zarou, seldom shoots, but when it does, it shoots to kill. Their first major artist, Tayyib Ali, hustled his way to the top of the blogosphere over the course of last year and is currently in high demand for shows. If you ask me, that’s quite a feat for someone lodged in a college market that grossly favors DJ performances over lyricists, which, of course, is in keeping with the pills over liquid mentality. Even so, some talented artists are able to capture peoples attention with the proper talent and marketing. Logic could be the next to rise to the top of this scene. He seems ripe for success because not only is he armed with a knack for lyrics, unique delivery and solid beat selection, he’s also fostering a more intimate bond with fans through visuals like the ones above. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this video is anything spectacular, but it is something – something more than just sounds coming out of your headphones. It’s something that allows you to know him better. Keep your eye on this one because BIGLIFE is BULLISH about Logic. If you are as curious as I was, his other videos (linked) might pique your interest. Out with the frat rap, this kids got that true hip hop swag.

The boys at 1st Round have been quietly preparing the release of G Curtis’ debut album Maximum Volume, set to drop this Tuesday. The dubstep remix below features the harmonizing voice of G Curtis behind Visions top notch production. Here’s what they had to say about this project.
After completing a Nationwide House of Blues tour with label mate Sam Adams, G Curtis went straight to the studio to complete his solo album; Maximum Volume. G Curtis worked diligently with 1st Round’s head producer, Matty Trump to create the proper sound for each track. Even though the album falls under the R&B genre, G Curtis expanded his repertoire by exploring Hip Hop, Soul, and Electronic music. G Curtis and 1st Round’s head A&R Zack Johnson searched high and low for the best features for his album. Collaborations include Sam Adams, Cal of Timefles, Cam Meekins, PJ Simas, and 1st Round’s newest artist; Luvi. G Curtis is releasing two music videos directed by Rex Arrow highlighting the singles Weekend Girlfriend & We Made it. Maximum Volume will be available for purchase on ITunes Tuesday August, 2nd,2011 . This album is brought to you by, Brobible, FreshNewTracks & 1st Round.

After listening to a heap of “I’m On One” remixes, I thought I had heard it all, and I bet you think you have too. Well think again. Kingston native, Matik, turned this hip hop chart topper into a reggae sensation.

Hip-Hop | Tony Moxberg ft. Jadakiss & Emmany – It Was All A Dream

Unfortunately, I didn’t catch the visuals to Kid Ink’s “California Dreaming” earlier today when I posted his other tracks. If you’re into CA, you’ll be into this video. And of course I couldn’t keep up these awesome Hip Hop posts without throwing in some quality songs. Haters just #goplankintraffic.

Hip-Hop | Kid Ink – Daydreamer (Prod by Dash)
Posted by BIGLIFE on July 25, 2011
Although it hit DatPiff at the start of the month, Kid Ink’s mixtape, Daydreamer, lacked the attention it deserved. Growing up in LA with East Coast parents, Kid Ink has since fused the two styles of hip hop to create Daydreamer. The melange of East Coast witticism and West Coast rawness is obvious when changing the tracks between Daydreamer and Cali Dreaming, but they still retain a bit of one another to tickle anyone’s fancy. All in all it spells out G-O-O-D M-U-S-I-C and is necessary to download if you call yourself a hip hop aficionado. Guest blog by ATexas

Hip-Hop | Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, & Curren$y – Weed Brownies
Posted by Juicebox on July 21, 2011
Shocking song title right? Alright, so heres the deal. At around the 5:30 minute mark, Big Sean mentions he’s been working on a “secret project” that is expected to come out in the next week featuring two other guys who are currently killing hip hop. This week, thus far, three tracks have leaked all featuring Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, & Curren$y (not sure if Curren$y has been killing it), but these are clearly the two guys he’s talking about. So, not sure what good it does keeping the mixtape under the radar, but expect an official release very soon.
