Willie Green "Summer (Movement 2)"


I was harassing the homie a few days ago about the project and then totally forgot to share it with you. Why? Because I was too busy enjoying it myself. Ha! Here's the latest from beat maker Willie Green. You're welcome.
Summer (Movement 2) is the second segment of Willie Green’s Four Seasons beat tape series. Picking up right where Spring left off, Summer (Movement 2) is a collection of beats inspired by the warmer months and is perfect for your barbecues, roadtrips, or whatever you like to do in the heat. Available as a “Pay What You Want” (even nothing!) download at www.WillieGreenMusic.com.

What EMS Is Watching ... @McLoughlinMusic - Stereo Hearts


Characteristically awesome.

Over in the TMB inbox, we received an email from Collin telling us about his latest video. "Stereo Hearts" showcases a mash up of "Lazy Songs" by Bruno Mars, "Just Can't Get Enough" by Black Eyed Peas and the feature title "Stereo Hearts" by Gym Class Heroes. Besides being a talented singer, Collin also crafted the entire arrangement and played all of the instruments in this recent addition to his repertoire.

I think what I love most about this version of "Stereo Hearts" is that you catch yourself smiling by the time you get to the end of the song. Plus, the video is simple and elegant. It lets us see a raw, talented musician without any unnecessary distractions so many of these videos have today. Again, Collin, well done.




Also, don't forget! If you want to be in the know about what Mr. McLoughlin is up to, check out his Facebook page and click 'like': facebook.com/CollinMcLoughlinMusic.

Enjoy, people!

What I'm Watching ... Vakill - "Armor Of God"


No b.s. directed in this video. What you get is Vakill allowing you to soak in his lyrics and with Jake One producing this track, the task isn't a difficult one.

Odyssey,  which is now available at all retail and online outlets

Jean Grae "Cookies or Comas"


Yeah, I kind of shut down operation today when Jean Grae released her DJ Drama hosted and DJBooth presented mixtape earlier. I wanted to sit back and enjoy it with minimal interruption. So, I updated the blog and then hit play on the latest from Jean. I've been enjoying the project ever since. Jean shows why she's lyrically one of the best on the mixtape ahead of her Cake Or Death project due out this fall. All. Bars. Everything. Geez Greasy. Download it. Oh, and remember it’s comas and not commas. Ha! You’re welcome. Enjoy. Chea!
