Mixtapes | The Weeknd- Echoes of Silence (Mixtape)
Posted by GMONEY on December 22, 2011
I don’t know what it is, but the Weeknd makes that driving into a retainer wall at 3 A.M. in the morning type of music. It’s dark, it’s moody, it’s drug inspired. For a man that still hasn’t granted one interview, industry chatter is understandably high. Rumors have been circulating that Diddy offered him 2 million to sign, and he turned it down. Just a few days ago, we heard that the Weeknd signed with an outside investor for 11 million.
Although we certainly admire the Weeknd, it doesn’t seem entirely plausible to us. Don’t get us wrong, the Weeknd is one of our favorite artists right now. However, The Weeknd makes music that you would likely never find on the radio. He’s not interested in making mainstream hits. That’s just not his lane. If he really was signed for 11 million, then I don’t see how the investor could make a return on his profit. What do I know though. I’m sitting here blogging in my underwear eating oreos at 10 AM.

Hip-Hop | Mac Miller-My Team
Posted by ATexas on November 7, 2011
Produced by Clams Casino, this leak “My Team” may be released tomorrow on the full album “Blue Slide Park.” This leak comes right before the album drop, hopefully a sign of what is to come. I’m really holding my breath on this release, seeing an artist grow this much from no one to the one is a lot of pressure. Hopefully it isn’t another Mr. Rager, a lot of hype with a huge fan base leading to a so-so album. With his previous EPs being how they are , I wonder what Pittsburgh producer I.D. Labs did to Mac for Blue Slide Park. With 16 huge tracks coming at us tomorrow, we shall see what is to become of Mac’s career.

Electro | Sheldon Scott- Part Time Lover x Love Me
Posted by GMONEY on July 10, 2011
Sheldon Scott is perhaps the most slept on artist in the blogosphere. He doesn’t have a Twitter or a Facebook page. You think I’m kidding? Google him for yourself. Despite the fact that he doesn’t exist online and he’s a complete enigma, he has a knack for making hits. Sheldon recently sent these two cuts over exclusively that were submitted to Timbaland for his upcoming “Shock Value III” project. If you’re an artist in the pop/electronic genre that’s looking to improve on your songwriting ability, I’d study Sheldon Scott closely. Sorry, I don’t have the cliff notes version. Somebody needs to sign this guy already.

Fresh off the heels of their smash mixtape “Remember the 90’s”, 90’s Finest are showing no sign of slowing down. If this track is any indication of what’s next for this electro-hop duo, then I think it’s safe to say you need to keep up with 90’s Finest.

Posted by BIGLIFE on February 24, 2011
We’ve been toying with the idea of throwing a Sean Paul – Collie Buddz concert for a while now and I think this might just be the sign from above that we should pull the trigger. I’m digging this track… Let us know if you’d be down to hit a concert with these two bosses.

JAY-Z who decided to take Cole under his wing and sign him signed to Jay’s new Roc Nation label. As the first artist on the new label, Cole was given the opportunity to make a few guest appearances on The Blueprint III, however, he also riled up the blogoshpere, forums, and beyond with tracks like the ones posted below.
