VIMBY – Yung LA – Los Angeles

Jeremy Greene – Rain Featuring Pitbull Hmm, I liked this song when I first heard it, then I saw the video. Now I can’t get the images of this bootleg Justin Timberlake / So You Think You Can Dance reject out of my head.

Royce Da 5’9′s unwavering passion for music and hunger for the game keeps him in the studio day and night. For further proof, look no further then the amount of music he will be releasing over the course of the next three months, which will undeniably validate Royce’s place in the pantheon of Hip-Hop’s elite [cont.]

Wow, what is it with Kanye and soft, indie rockers? First Colin Munroe gave us his interpretation of “Flashing Lights”, and now Nite Club (which Urb Magazine calls “funkier than bedroom indietronica has any right to be”) have done their thing to “Good Life”, sans T-Pain, of course. This has to be leading to a [cont.]

Jermaine Dupri has formed a super-group called Ocean’s 7, along with Nelly, Usher, Trey Songz, Bow Wow, B Cox, Johnta Austin, and Itny, with the end result being like a really soft, watered down version of The Wu-Tang Clan. They’ve been making appearances around Vegas together, taking over tables at Tryst and XS, etc, trying [cont.]

Since G.O.O.D. Music isn’t really a full-fleged label these days (as each Common, Kanye, John Legend, and Consequence all released their albums on different major labels), neverless, Kanye West’s name appears first on Malik Yusef’s new double CD extravaganza entitled, “Kanye West & Malik Yusef Present G.O.O.D. Morning, G.O.O.D. Night”, available in two separate “Dusk” [cont.]

Swinga Tracklist: Diddy Speaks HottestInTheHood.com Intro (prod by DJ Ron & DJ Shusta) Lights Low (Go Hard) Criminal Minded General ft Maino I Aint Goin Nowhere Hottest In The Hood (Remix) ft Diddy, Jadakiss, Rick Ross, Fabolous, & OJ Da [cont.]

We’ve always liked Amerie – a quality R&B singer. But she’s never been able to reach the levels of success of say, Beyonce, Mary J, or even Keyshia Cole, for that matter. The Rich “Crazy In Love” Harrison helmed single “1 Thing” was a chart topper, but also known as “How To Kill A Dancefloor” [cont.]

Awol One might not be this blogger’s cup of tea, but considering he calls his July 21st Fake Four Inc. release, Owl Hours, his “best album yet”, maybe this is a good jumping on point. This album is a collaborative LP with producer Factor, who also produced “the underground classic Only Death Can Kill You“, [cont.]

“Them That’s Not” puts every other double time / sped up flow track to shame, as he begins a normal pace, speeding up with the track. All gimmicks aside, J’s varying rhyme tempos actually reflect the “story of a brother named Castro”, that is told in the song. In the beginning of the song his [cont.]
