donutsandmilk.com x djcosthekid.com x TMB presents: Realistic "Greatest Hits"


The homie Chad over at DonutsandMilk.com hit me up a few weeks back about linking up with his site and djcosthekid.com to present the new project from Phoenix by way of New Mexico emcee Realistic. After hearing a few cuts, I jumped on board for the debut project boldly titled Greatest Hits. I definitely dig what Realistic is doing with his mixture of old school and new school Hip-Hop. Enjoy the music.

@KirbyLauryen's A Song A Day: Day 114



After a few wild days and a bit of a break from blogging, I'm playing catch up with Kirby's A Song A Day series. Thanks EMS for holding down the posts. Having not heard Kirby since last Thursday, after hitting play on Often, again I realize why we've been pushing her music. Such a great voice and an extremely talented person. Enjoy the music.

What I'm Watching: SigNif "Like My Style"




"[Like My Style] is me explaining how I don’t fit the typical rapper mode, and how I’m 100% fine with that," says SigNif. "Embracing Rejection is about the trials and tribulations of a starving artist trying to pave her way into an industry that’s not particularly in her favor. Rejection is a big part of life and once I was able to except it, I was able to use if for encouragement."

I do like SigNif's style. I've liked it for a while. I've been a long time fan of the Milwaukee bred, NYC based emcee but you already know that because she's no stranger to the site. Sig has been on a bit of a recent hiatus but according to her recent texts, she's getting her mojo back. And today she decided to unleash the Darren Cole/self-directed video for Like My Style off of her TMB, HipHopisCoolAgain.com and KevinNottingham.com presented project, Embracing Rejection. Enjoy the vid.

If you're in NYC April 25th, check her at Lit Lounge (93 2nd Avenue) with J. Philippe, Laurensara, Ane, Yoshi Thetalent and K Rizz. And when you get the chance, vote for Sig to compete for a slot at this years BK Hip Hop fest. Chea!

What I'm Watching: ¡MAYDAY! - "Imprint" feat. Jovi Rockwell (Prod. by Plex Luthor & Wrekonize)


"They say a fingerprint is one of a kind." That's how I feel about ¡MAYDAY!. Here they release another cut featuring a nice addition to the track with Jovi Rockwell from their absolutely amazing, soul satisfying, epic of an album "Take Me To Your Leader". I've stated numerous times how that album is my favorite one of 2012 so far and by far. I love how intense and dynamic their music is from the lyrics to their vocal arrangements to their production. I have absolutely no qualms about the album whatsoever. But enough of the rambling, check the visuals.
