Hip-Hop | Terence Ryan- Skeletons (Yeah Yeah Yeahs Remix)
Posted by ATexas on February 7, 2012
Does anyone remember Karen O? In all her super anti-hipster/super hipster glory? Well Terence Ryan decided to take Karen O and make a hip hop lovechild. I love this love child. With haunting lyrics and haunting beats its just here to take your soul…but in a totally good way. He discusses God, work and his strife for musical success. Let Karen and Terence transcend you in this amazing must download. Adding to the already amazing tune which the Yeah Yeah Yeahs perfected, Ryan adds a whole new chapter on this song.

Hip-Hop | Upper West – Somebody Freestyle
Posted by dshaq on January 26, 2012
So when I posted that Dylan Owen EP I was talking about emotion through lyrics and how it makes a song so much more meaningful and relatable. Here we have an Upper West song that is exactly like that. Known for their upbeat jams, Jesse and Doug decide to switch it up on us and spit some truth. Even though this won’t be on their upcoming mixtape, West Side Stories, doesn’t mean you shouldn’t download this one. So snag this track and show them some love on Facebook and Twitter.

Hip-Hop | K’naan ft. Nelly Furtado-Is There Anybody Out There
Posted by ATexas on January 23, 2012
K’Naan is bomb. No songs about how low his chain is or how many biddies he porks, no, just some fulfilling lyrics mixed with huge names. Nelly Furtado throwing down on the chorus mixes with K’naan’s unique style of hip hop. His EP “More Beautiful than Silence” comes out tomorrow and Nelly’s first releases in 6 years is out this spring. Poppy and uplifting “Is There Anybody Out There” embodies both artists’ styles.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Dylan Owen – Keep Your Friends Close (EP)
Posted by dshaq on January 22, 2012
This is honestly one of the best pieces of music that I have ever heard. Dylan Owen gives us this brand spankin new 11 song EP. Each song is a phenomenal story with beats to compliment Dylan’s flow. The emotion of the lyrics is what makes this EP so special, each song is just jam-packed with them, and that’s why Dylan is so good, oh and well he raps really good too, because it’s about real life problems and that’s what makes it easy to relate to. With a quality release like this, the sky is the limit for Dylan. So do yourself a favor and make sure you download this.

Hip-Hop, Mixtapes | Jetpack Jones – Reincarnation (Mixtape)
Posted by dshaq on January 19, 2012
I might be a little late on putting this one up but I’d be silly not to. Jetpack Jones hits us with a solid 13 track mixtape, supplying a good flow and going in over quality produced beats. Although there are a lot of short songs they still hit hard. For example, “Marcel” is just 1:26 but that beat and the meaning behind the lyrics, which are about his little brother, make it worthwhile. Go over and like his Facebook Page, and make sure you check back for more Jetpack.

Hip-Hop | Bei Maejor-Fell in Love on the Dancefloor
Posted by ATexas on January 9, 2012
Bei-bay is throwing out something new and different…well, for Bei Maejor that is. Usually with chill dropped beats and witty lyrics, Bei is dropping a dance-ish mix. Maybe all his work with Mike Posner inspired him to expand his horizons. Its fun to dance to, but its strange that its Bei. Jury is out on how comfortable I feel. More importantly though its fun to spin and jump around to, basically the main two requirements for creating a dance-ish pop/R&B song.
Electro-House | Cazzette – Killmode vs. Right Here Right Now (CZT’s A Soccer Hurdle BOOTLEG)
Posted by Middy on January 7, 2012
I am not even settled in to my new abode over here in Toulouse, France, but I had to get you guys some fire because I have been AWOl the past few days because my grandma does not have internet at her place. Cazzette was nice enough to give away their much anticipated single “Killmode” in the bootleg with the lyrics from Fatboy Slim’s “Right Here, Right Now”. Killmode may be their best single to date and to have it be for free makes it even sweeter, so do not pass up on this gem from the Swedish duo. This is a great way to start 2012 for these guys to watch out for what they do the rest of the year.
