Hip-Hop, Videos | J. Cole – Can’t Get Enough ft. Trey Songz (Music Video)
Posted by Grubeats on September 15, 2011
Shortly after Jermaine released what was arguably the most highly anticipated single, “Mr. Nice Watch”, off his debut album, Cole World: The Sideline Story, featuring his mentor, boss, and father figure, Jay-Z, we received a second dosage of Cole World. MTV premiered the visuals for Cole’s first official single (other than Lights Please & In The Morning), “Can’t Get Enough”, which features Trey Songz, as the crew takes a trip to the sunny island of Barbados. Personally, I think this is in Cole’s top 3 to date, and the camaraderie between J and Trey is phenomenal for their first collab. Keep an eye out around the 3:15 mark and let me know if you catch a glimpse of a little bird that Cole was rumored to have a sex tape with. Hint, her name starts with a R and ends with ihanna. Cole recently addressed these flakey rumors…
“I just let ’em talk. They also say I’ve got a sex tape [with Rihanna] and they say I got dropped from Roc Nation,” joked Cole. “It’s been a hell of a two weeks. They put a picture of one of my fans on the Internet and said it was my girlfriend…I figured out, now that I’m on the other side [of the rumor mill], it’s just so random. It doesn’t start from no where, it’s just like tabloids back in the day. People get paid, they making their money off of making up kind of outlandish stories. ‘Jay-Z said he gon’ beat J. Cole up when he sees him, said he better watch out.’ And it’s always a very reliable source [saying it].” – J. Cole
If you are so inclined, you can cop a preview of each song on the album HERE. Personally, I’m not a fan of a tease, so I’m going to hold off until 9.27.11. #ColeWorld

Now I know some or even most of you are going to skip over this post because trance is not upbeat enough or too repetitive or because you can’t party to trance. I understand, I can’t force you to like music, but I can give you a taste of it and make you better informed. I plan on making this a weekly posting to keep you guys up to date on the best of trance. Trance is uplifting, emotional music that can be played in many settings. It can be played as dance music such as if you have ever seen a trance artist live like Above and Beyond, (the best show I have ever seen) then you know how much energy it can have. So lets get to the music. Here is the music video for Mansion by Gareth Emery and Ashley Wallbridge and the song is pure Trance gold.
DOWNLOAD: Gareth Emery & Ashley Wallbridge – Mansion
Here is another cut from Gareth Emery’s new CD “The Sound Of Garuda Pt. 2”, which has two new tracks from him and 12 new songs overall. Gareth Emery is a total boss so get this guy’s music. Some people have said that trance is becoming too mainstream or moving too much towards house, but this CD stays with with the roots of Trance combining influences of the new era trance to create an amazing CD start to finish. Get it on iTunes or beatport.

Here is the latest track from Trance veteran Andy Moor on Armada records (Armin’s Record Label”. It is a beautiful trance song that works with the latest in trance with some female vocals, uplifting synth and typical trance bass to tie it all in. Buy it HERE.

This remix of the American BT’s “A Million Stars” is absolutely sublime. The bass, the female vocals, the hands in the air synth, especially on the drop is all just so good. If you are driving you will want to go really fast and if you are sitting you will want to stand.

Hip-Hop | Tarik – Alone Tonight
Posted by BIGLIFE on September 5, 2011
Our recently affiliated artist Tarik (yes, I know I still need to make his page) has started to catch on this past month. Based off of the raving reviews from last week’s debut video for his remix to “Weatherman”, I strongly believe Tarik will be rising to the top in short time. Yes, that’s your cue to hop on the before it takes off bandwagon. As I mentioned in the previous post, his songs include more than your average club-popping, whip bumping – based lyrics. “Alone Tonight” is actually one of my favorite tracks from Tarik because he offers a little insight into his life through his lyrics. Carefully tune into this one and you’ll see what I mean…
