What EMS Is Watching ... "Chasing Dreams" x @McLoughlinMusic

"No more wasting time chasing life's demise now, and I keep on dreaming."

I caught this video on Collin's fan page, and suffice it to say, absolutely beautiful. "Chasing Dreams" is a bonus track off of his upcoming EP Stark Perspective scheduled for a November 1st release on iTunes. Enjoy.

Artist Inside Scoop: Natasha Ramos ... "Dream Seller"


If any of you have been following us over the last few months, you all know that Natasha Ramos has quickly become one of our favorites over here at The Mad Bloggers.com and has created an insanely awesome and rapid internet buzz with her talent, beauty and fierce hustle producing quality music. Natasha released her first mixed tape Feelin' Myself in March of this year and has been consistently giving the masses hit after hit. From the fiery video for "Dysfunctional" and simple beauty of "Walk Away" to the sexiness of "Strawberries" and giving her own spin on "Marvin's Room," Ramos gives us an opportunity to experience a wide variety of written and vocal artistry while conjointly allowing her fans to become acquainted with her charismatic personality through her music. And I more than believe she'll do it again with her upcoming release of Dream Seller.


Last night, Natasha hit me up and gave us the inside scoop of her new project Dream Seller scheduled to be released the first week in November. I am very excited to see what she has in store for us next. Feelin' Myself has definitely kept us satisfied, but I'm ready for an early Christmas gift. And of course, once released, we'll be sure to have the project available to everyone a.s.a.p. In the meantime, here's a sneak peek at the track listing

1. In My Head (intro)
2. Dream Seller
3. Fantasy
4. You
5. Mannequin
6. Unreachable
7. Money
8. Feelin Good

Just in case you need a refresher, here's a quick listen of her first project. And again, if you're not familiar, here's the chance to get familiar. She's dope. You'll love her. Trust us. Enjoy!

Daimyo "No Days Off" feat Thirtyseven


Emails that start with 'howdy' definitely get my attention. But don't think you can now send me an email with 'howdy' and I let that shit fly. Be original, geez. Ha! Anyway, new music from the good folks over at World Around from Daimyo and Thirtyseven. According to the email, "this cut emerged from a lot of conversations and a long soul-searching kinda year for both of us." I can dig it. Hit play and enjoy.

What I'm Watching: That's Rocawear x L.A. (@ucancallmela)



Rocawear teams up with the homegirl L.A. for their latest viral video celebrating the evolution of Hip-Hop culture. The video puts the Brooklyn female emcee in the spotlight with just a microphone, a white background, while she spits straight bars. If you've followed the blog long enough, you know I've long been a fan of L.A.'s work and it's so dope to see her really taking flight the way she is. I salute her hard work and dedication to the craft. She's alive. Hit play and enjoy the video. Chea!

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!
