What I'm Watching: Statik Selektah & Termanology - 1982 "Up Every Night" (@StatikSelekt @TermanologyST)


Statik Selektah & Termanology come through with the visuals to 1982's newest single looking and sounding like an throwback pajama jam on it. They're definitely bugging out in it. Check it.



What I'm Watching: Sean Born - "Lights On" (@BackroadBorn)


"I'm just trying to keep my lights on." I dig Sean Born on this joint, definitely. I can relate. Lot of distractions and unnecessary mess out in the world that gets in the way of taking care of what's more important. Check the video out.

@KirbyLauryen's A Song A Day: Day 117



"HI Beautiful People :) Just to let you know I actually had a really good day. lol. NO worries! This song came last night while I was doing research on songwriters in the industry etc., and I came across someone who had recently gotten a great opportunity. I had no idea who this person was, yet I immediately saw the contrast on how my day went and their's. A pretty normal day in my calendar, was a life changing day for someone else This isn't a sad song, but it is true. We all have "our special days' that feel like "OUR DAY" but seeing other people have their days should make us want to celebrate the possibility of our "days' happening too. So don't be discouraged. The ultimate truth- is everyday is your day because you're here! I love you for watching." -KL

What I'm Watching: @DirtyLoops - "Rolling in the Deep" (original by Adele)



I've completely been blown away by the music I've heard in the last 3 hours. Dirty Loops does a phenomenal cover of Adele's "Rolling in the Deep" (girl, you should be proud!) and their rendition has steadily been gaining momentum across the media and social networks. Coming out of Stockholm, Sweden, band members Jonah (keyboard), Henrik (bass) and Aron (drums) take the funkiest twist and turn one of Adele's #1 hits into a delicious jazz infusion. And while I truly hate to make comparisons between artists, keyboardist Jonah, has essentially channeled Brian McKnight in this particular song to the point where I thought either a) my eyes were deceiving me or b) my ears were lying to me. "Impressed" doesn't quite express how I feel when experiencing Dirty Loops going hard on this track. I'd say, it's one of the best covers I've heard this year to date. If I could, I'd go to see them perform in Stockholm, so until they come to the States, I will loudly admire them from afar.

But still I say, don't believe me? Check it out ;)
