BE.water "Stars Of Eternal Shine"


This joint has been sitting in the inbox for a few days and I finally got the chance to listen to this joint. Damn, what an incredibly chill and dope project from BE.water. At 24 tracks it seems overwhelming but you just flow straight through what BE.water calls, "endless thoughts, because I feel that within the universe and our mind - the possibilities are endless." Enjoy. Chea!

What I'm Watching ... Fashawn - "Down That Road featuring Sam Hook "


New video from the Fresno, Cali homie Fashawn featuring Sam Hook with a much more chill, laid back kind of cut about a certain lady in the man's life.

"You are my future. I wanna be where you are.
Don’t know what you doing cause you're so damn far.
So I'm flying down that road..."

Check it.

While Oddisee is gearing up for his next project, he offers up two new instrumentals as companion pieces for his recently released Odd Seasons album. Both are dope. Like I said, you're welcome.

L.A. "Spitting Out Blood"


"I thought it was all love and shit, until the truth hit my jaw..."

I've known L.A. for almost a year now. She's good peoples. It's dope to watch the continued growth of such a talented emcee. She's currently working on her new project L.A. Riots, and a few weeks back she hit me with the preview of this Hippie Sabotage produced track. The moment I heard "Spitting Out Blood", I knew it was a winner. On L.A.'s last project The Presentation she borrowed a lot of Kanye beats and I think the difference with her upcoming L.A. Riots will be proving to her fans and critics alike how she can control her flow over original cuts. L.A. does that on "Spitting Out Blood". The aggressive, heartfelt track will have you vibing along. Enjoy. Chea!

What EMS Is Watching ... @mcloughlinmusic - "Save The World Tonight"



Dear Collin McLoughlin,

If you are reading this post, I'd just like to tell you that you are extremely talented. I came across your music through my blogger-colleague, Q, re-tumbling a post from Jinesis. I am quite impressed. I always love to throw a curve ball to my audience for the simple fact of exposing them to all genres.

If I could tell my audience anything about you, I'd tell them that I particularly love your voice, and even more so the simplicity of this song. "Save The World Tonight" displays your vocal control, melodic lines and love of pure music. "Save The World Tonight" is completely stripped of all things Hollywood and as a listener, I am truly grateful for that. I especially love how your voice slightly bends the notes as you sing and the faint grittiness you bring to your songs.

I look forward to knowing you as an artist through your music and finding more projects you've done. And as a blogger, I am truly grateful for artists like you because it makes the writing all the worthwhile. This has honestly lifted my spirit. Thank you.

Sincerely,
Erica

Live at The Loft: Fresh Daily (Part 2)


EP05 Fresh Daily Pt. 02 from LIVE AT THE LOFT on Vimeo.


A few days ago I posted up part one of this video featuring Fresh Daily in his Live at The Loft performance. Just a few hours ago they posted up the second half of the performance. Like I said in the initial post (and a few other times), Fresh Daily is that dude and his sound is dope. I dig what he's doing musically for sure. Enjoy the music and shouts to Tone. Chea!

Bonus vid: Fresh Daily "Armageddon"
"The world was supposed to end on March 21, 2011. Well, then it was changed and we were told that the good would be transported to heaven. Either way, what if it..."

R. Kelly "Motivation" Remix


"Baby I'm gonna be your motivation, take you to school and give you a sex education..."

As if Kelly Rowland’s “Motivation” wasn't successful enough, Kelz gives it a boost on the remix. After one listen, the only question I have is who's trying to get pregnant this Memorial Day weekend? Apparently any and everyone within listening range. Be safe. Enjoy. Chea!
