Chill, Hip-Hop, Indie, Pop, Videos | The Lonely Biscuits – Everybody
Posted by J_Salzer on November 4, 2012
Incredibly meaningful video/track from The Lonely Biscuits. They originally recorded this over the summer, in New Jersey, and decided not to release it. Well, I guess it was meant to be, or maybe the Biscuits were very good meteorologists, because there couldn’t a better time to release a track like this. It’s a feel good song, and no doubt many people are downloading it and donating to help the victims of Hurricane Sandy, which I would encourage all of you to do. Here’s what The Lonely Biscuits had to say about the release:
“We wrote this song in the summer of 2012 in New Jersey. The song is about moving on and looking up when we cannot control the situations that we are going through. We have had a surreal experience with this song and video, considering this town is now in shambles. We were never going to release this song because we could not connect to it and did not realize the meaning in the lyrics that we had written at the time. However, after Hurricane Sandy hit, we noticed that there is something much deeper within this song that was meant to spread positivity and uplift everyone’s spirits during this time of tragedy. There has been some serious fate that has taken place while making this song and video and deciding not to release it, and we feel that it was made solely to help the victims of the storm. There is more than just our music in this song, there is love, hope, and a meaning that we did not control and cannot describe. All proceeds will be going towards helping rebuild the communities affected. Peace and Love Biscuits.”
Electro-House | The Script – Nothing (Gazzo Short Remix)
Posted by Mach on June 29, 2012
Gazzo, formerly Cloud 9, is a Producer, DJ, and Songwriter from northern New Jersey. As Cloud 9, Gazzo made a name for himself fast. Today he brings us a beautiful remix of The Scripts “Nothing.” The vocals on this track are just some of my favorites, I love tone of the voice a long with the content of them. Gazzo created an awesome long intro, building into the electro drop that just sets the dance floor on fire.
Hip-Hop, Videos | Aziz- Ode To Pete Rock
Posted by GMONEY on August 5, 2011
I remember the first time I listened to Aziz. He was part of a group at the time, and he was featured on as song called, “Tic, Tac, Toe”. The song quickly became a guilty pleasure of mine. He doesn’t know this, but even today I’ll catch myself reciting his verse like a wanna-be-rapper in my car. Yes, I am a professional in car rapper. No, I don’t care what you think. Yes I’m feeling myself too much right now, pause.
Anyways, here is Aziz’s third single and second music video titled “Ode to Pete Rock” off of his new mixtape “Daydreams of a Spaceshot” which will release on Tuesday, August 23rd. The single is an instrumental that was originally produced by DJ Premier for Das EFX’s track “Real Hip Hop” that Pete Rock later remixed in the mid 1990s. The video for “Ode to Pete Rock” was Directed Calvin Scibilia and shot in New York City and New Jersey.
As always, follow Aziz on Twitter and Facebook. Special shout out to Maxwell Zotz, who’s behind the scenes of Aziz’s operation, and makes things happen on a daily basis.
