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.
This latest video from Vakill, "Armor Of God," is the title track from Vakill's forthcoming LP, which now has a new release date of 7-5-2011.

Check It ... Vast Aire - "The Verdict featuring Guilty Simpson" (produced by Ayatollah)
Latest banger from Vast Aire featuring Random Axe's Guilty Simpson. Volume went right up soon as I hit play. The Verdict is a strong cut as you will tell after listening so make sure you cop the album.
"The Verdict" appears on Vast Aire's new solo-LP, Ox 2010: A Street
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!

INSIDE THE MUSIC: Jesse Abraham "One Day"
I respect Jesse Abraham. He puts his all into his music. He has the uncanny ability to pick quality beats, the right type of features and his content is always on point. Last week with the help of DJBooth.net, Jesse offered up a new old project with One Day. I say new old because there are a few carry over tracks from his One Day EP dropped earlier this year. The additions to the project give it a nice well rounded feel. I dig it.
One Day features guest verses from Blu, Homeboy Sandman, Eric Sosa, Fresh Daily and others. On the production side the project features Panjabi MC, !llmind, K.O. Beatz, Spills, Jinesis and more.
When you hear a project, sometimes you really want to know what the artist was thinking when they put the project together. So, I reached out to Jesse with some questions about his latest offering. Check out our Q&A after the jump.

It's been a while since we've posted something from blctxt. It's actually been a while since I've heard from the homie. I'm glad he's back sharing some new music from his upcoming EP, A Smart Black Boy. The first single from the project finds blctxt laying down some dope rhymes over the Illastrate beat. This joint screams summer hit. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
