What I'm Watching: Stori "Someone Like You" (An Adele Cover that's Actually Damn Good)

Folks that know me, know that I love Adele. Adele before everyone was hip to her with 21. I fucks with 19 unlike a lot of others. Her voice has always captivated me. So much passion. So much emotion. Classic soul music. And because of what Adele does vocally, I frown on covers of her tracks. Frown upon them heavily. I’ve heard a lot of Adele covers too. Frankly, most of them sound like shit. I however stumbled on this cover from Stori. Yeah, I really like this. She adds a little but doesn't take away from it. I dig that. This song always takes me somewhere else … Someone Like You is the classy version of Drake's Marvin's Room. Ha!

What I'm Watching: @JittaOnTheTrack - " I Don't Believe You // Slurred"

Funny story is that I first heard of this dude a while back from a guy that I randomly go to for haircuts. Yeah, the barbershop story. Haha. Dude proceeds to tell me about some cat he cuts that flows and gave me his info. I check him out but there wasn't anything recent enough for me to want to post so I forgot about it. Went back to that barbershop today and he asked if I checked it out. He oddly didn't ask me last time I went there. Probably didn't recognize me. Anyways, here I am today rechecking Jitta's music and found this joint released last month.

Definitely feeling "I Don't Believe You". It says it's produced by Jitta On The Beat. Guess dude can do a few things because that beat is pretty damn dope. As for "Slurred", it's not for me per say. I can hear it being played in a club nowadays but yeah, I'm not really feeling that one as much. Anyways, check out the video, which is clean, simple, and cool, and leave us your thoughts.

Official Music Video for Jitta On The Track's songs "I Don't Believe You" (Prod. By Jitta On The Beat) and "Slurred" (Prod. By Jaynez) off of his newest mixtape "Be Right Back" available for download here!

What I'm Watching: Iggy Azalea "The Last Song"

There might be a few side eyes coming my way but I kind of like Iggy Azalea. I'm still kind of on the fence about her but there is something about her sound that I find interesting and intriguing. She's got my attention. In her latest, she takes a very simplistic approach with the black and white video, on what you could assume is not her last song.
