What EMS Is Watching ... Unknown Lyric at Emerging Art Scene in Atlanta, GA

So every now and then I like to throw in a curve ball for the audience. I saw these cats in person at a jazz competition about a year ago and impressive isn't quite the adjective to cover it. The classic fusion duo, Unknown Lyric, is comprised of two exceedingly talented artist musicians, violinist Kevin Grayson and acoustic guitarist, Jeremiah Turner. A short, new video of theirs (or at least new to me) performing at Emerging Art Scene popped into my Facebook stream and I couldn't help but share it. Enjoy.

What EMS Is Listening To ... "Seek and Destroy" x @theycallmeBK

Is she dope? Yes. Is she gorgeous? Absolutely. Can she sing? Most definitely! I got this in the inbox yesterday, and Q said, "You might like." Well I can tell you, I most assuredly love it. I actually had this on repeat going to the home front this evening. What's so fresh about Bridget Kelly's "Seek and Destroy" is that it's categorically blunt and simple. I like that! Hell, I wish more things in life were that easy. Ha! This is probably the anthem of all anthems, which interestingly enough, could be useful on both sides of the fence. Kelly's EP Every Girl just dropped two days ago, so I suggest you check it out! You can download it at her website, bridgetkelly.com. I've told the masses how awesome she is, so now it's on y'all. With that being said, you better not f*ck this up! ;) Enjoy!

What EMS Is Watching ... "Love On Top" x @KrisWak (original by Beyoncé)

So... it's late nights like these when I go trolling the internet and stumble upon awesomeness like this. I was spending the last few minutes of my night on YouTube seeing what was what and the first time I got notice of Kris Collins was when I watched his co-cover of Frank Ocean's "We All Try" with his best friend Dom (which, by the way, was very good). Then I mosied on over to the Facebook Fan Page and saw the cover of Beyonce's latest. I thought to myself, hmmm I wonder how this is going to go. Can we say cutest thing ever?! I love his voice, he's extremely talented and I, for one, plan on finding out more about Kris' music. I think this would definitely serve as something nice for the dames! Enjoy.

What I'm Watching: Denzil Porter "Kanye West"

I've played this track a few times today. I dig it. Maybe because sometimes I'm an asshole. Ha!

"Inspired by the stereotypical New York City resident. New Yorkers: hardworking, tough and outspoken are often viewed to those outside of the city as just plain assholes. Denzil explains, 'I feel like it's just in our blood to do what we do and say what we say when we want to. Although we look at it as how we live, outsiders look at is as rude and obnoxious'"

What EMS Is Listening To ... "Free Your Mind" x Tolu

I've had this in the inbox for awhile and I just got a chance to listen. I'm definitely digging this. The message is great (this is where I'd advise checking out the lyrics) and with that being said, the words are poetic to say the least. "Free Your Mind" is definitely something you can chill out and vibe to, so check it! Enjoy.

What EMS Is Listening To ... "My Drug" x The 17th

Let me just start with saying, WOW! I actually stumbled across this little gem by happenstance. The 17th followed me on Twitter, and whilst checking out the profile, I noticed a link. Funny thing is, I rarely click on folks' twitter links, but something just said, "Yo, go check this out." And lo and behold... Dope! I've always been a fan of fusing genres and "My Drug" is a perfect amalgamation of hip-hop and rock. It's edgy, eerie and all over the place but in the most beautiful way that a song can be crafted. I promise, that's a compliment (I'm not always the best wordsmith). Something else I love about this song is that you're able to just lose yourself in the music. Sometimes, we definitely all need that.

But, "My Drug" isn't the only thing that The 17th has to offer. Over on the17th.com, the player at the top has a few other songs that I think you guys will dig in addition to this one. So, enjoy!
