What I'm Listening to: Brandon Thomas (@Brandon2NICE) "Stylin' On Simpletons"

Again, I must be blessed with the good fortune of tight folks coming at me, cause this guy came out of nowhere and asked how he could get on TMB. Simple: just make that dopeness, and your time shall come. Coming to you from Atlanta (or NewLanta as he puts it) is the dude, Brandon Thomas. And he's only 15. Consider me blown away.

As always, let us know at TMB what you think!

Check It ... The BrainStormers - "What's Mines is Yours" (Prod. by Reef Ali)

I'm a fan of The BrainStormers with every track I get to hear, pretty much. They continue to put out good music. Check their latest explaining their birth into the music world.

"What's Mines Is Yours" is a track that introduces how we become The BrainStormers (Excluded from The BrainStormers EP). The track, in order of appearance, features Cayoz Da Beast, Praverb the Wyse, A.L. Laureate.

Check It ... Half Past Never Band - Letters feat. Jon?Doe

Letters featuring Jon?Doe isn't a track I normally bump into and I definitely like when I do. It's different, more so production-wise and lyrically, he does a great job telling his story. Overall, it's a good track.

This track from Half Past Never Band is off the album "Cubicle Coma" which will be released in Spring 2011 by Skillstreet Entertainment.

Half Past Never Band - Letters feat. Jon?Doe by Halfpastneverband

Half Past Never Band is a Finnish band from Helsinki, Finland, whose music is a combination of organic sounds, black rhythms, Balkan flavors and eastern atmospheres. All in all, trying to define Half Past Never Band´s music precisely is not easy, but music draws influences from several genres including jazz, hiphop, funk, soul, afro and eastern rhythms. During the years, Half Past Never Band has grown from a one-man project to a band, which combines grooving playing and versatile vocalists.

Ritchcraft's 30 in 30 (Day 28: Kayo - Graffiti Rap)

I feel like I might have missed the post yesterday for Ritchcraft's 30 in 30 series. Either way, it's here today. Right? Right! Anyway, as Ritchcraft begins to wrap up the series with the last couple of videos, he links up with Kayo for a pretty fresh track. According to Ritchcraft, Kayo recorded his verse and they shot the video the same day. Dope. If you're interested, you can check out my day 15 interview with Ritchcraft. Also get the back story on Ritchcraft's 30 in 30 here. Enjoy day 27. Chea!
