Rejoice, Avicii is making it cool for you to wear cowboy boots and your neon YOLO hat in the same outfit to your favorite mediocre local festival! First premiered on the Mainstage during his unpredictable set at Ultra Music Festival, Avicii‘s lead single “Wake Me Up” from his upcoming album “TRUE“, has finally hit stores worldwide. It has been released in Europe for a week now, but as of today it is available worldwide on Spotify and iTunes. It is exciting to this change in direction from Avicii and the possibilities of what he can bring in the future since he has inspired so many copycats in the past few years. Whether or not his fans will be supportive of his new sound 100% remains to be seen, but you can expect September 17th to be a landmark day for one of the titans in dance music.

Hip-Hop | OnCue-New Religion

Posted by on March 12, 2012

Party anthem raps are like, kind of catchy and hot right now. OnCue burst onto the scene in 2011 and he’s continuing right into 2012 with this high energy spit. The beat is, listenable nothing to write home about, but if you listen to the lyrics the kid is pretty f-ing witty. YOLO themed raps aren’t going anywhere apparently.

PJ Simas kicked off 2012 with a new weekly series he coined as “Simas Sunday”.  Artists that have successfully done this (Timeflies, e-dubble), have had an enormous boost in fan activity, keeping their content fresh and interesting.  Although we’ve missed the first couple weeks of Simas Sunday, we haven’t been completely ignoring the music.  PJ has sampled & twisted Drake’s “The Motto” as well as J. Cole’s “Work Out”, released an all original track, and most recently collaborated with Dylan Owen.  In addition to these releases, Sactown’s finest will be dropping another all original album this spring.

Hi-Rez recently released a new track, “X-Problems” featuring QuEST, sharing some clever relationship rhymes.  In other news, Hi-Rez will be performing this year at Bamboozle in NJ.

Jon Kilmer’s highly sought after beat tape, Sheeps, Jeeps, & Beats, which he released back on Christmas Day, has had several up and coming artists testing their flow.  Huey Mack is far from a new face on the scene and has established himself as an artist.  This doesn’t mean he can’t hop on this Blink 182 & Warren G infusion.

DO SOMETHING

Hip-Hop, Videos | Drake, Rihanna, Rick Ross, Nelly

25 sittin’ on 25 mil.  Drizzy brings his batting gloves as he knocks the new visuals for “The Motto”  out of the park.  Fellow CMB members Lil Wayne and Tyga join the show, both delivering crisp verses over the rhythmic T-Minus production.  The real question I have is WTF is Weezy wearing on his feet?  Neon green casts?  Snow boots?  This is “swag” on a whole new level.  #YOLO

The title track off Rihanna’s scorching new album, Talk The Talk, got the Bauce Sauce treatment.  Not an official remix, but Ross adds a verse at the commencement of the track.  Rozay confirmed that he’s been working on a new mixtape and will be revealing the title and release date by week’s end.

Nelly aiming to resurrect his radio presence?  By the sounds of this new track, “Champion” off his next mixtape, Nelly appears to be looking to make a case for the mainstream.  Fans can relate.  The song will probably be picked up by a movie or sports commercial.  80’s baby’s will always love Nelly.  Get ’em Megget!
