Jeremih has some sick beats. Even on his last self titled LP; the boy smashed it with his bedroom swagger on tape for all to share in the privacy of their headphones. His new album is dope - nothing but hits and no fillers. Loving the jump off tune with 50, but look out for the 'Waiter Remix' with 50 too. The video above was also in 3D - for any geeks out there. Invest in your machismo blud... It's ok to after all :)
You gotta love these boys?! How hot is this song man! Possibly the hottest tune out there right now - can you name all the cameos? Well, we have Quest Love, Pharrell, Santangold, Yelawolf, Diplo, Ryan Leslie, Kanye West and Vampire Weekend!! WTF happened here - Armand and the boys killed it seriously. I L-O-V-E this vid 4 REAL. Ohhh-weee-ooohhhhh :)
It's Ramadan and I've been laying off the music for the month.
However, I've decided to listen and get into some more 'religiously relevant' stuff for the month.
An artist that was recommended to me by my SIL was Sami Yusuf. This is probably his most well known offering. I like it and hope you can spread the love too this Ramadan.
Possibly the perfect love song to be proud of liking (if you're a bloke!)
This song is the backbone of 'Thank Me Later' I reckon. Such a thought provoking and sensitive rap song - lovely sentiments and moderate use of the 'F' word too!
It's been ages since I heard a song like this; kinda tune that stirs the right emotions and imagery to make you smile and appreciate Drake's intelligent story telling poetry.
Nothing wrong with getting in touch with your feminine side lads... Right?
Simply amazing - simply beautiful :)
If you had to have a theme tune to accompany you whilst you flew light speed through space in one of those space craft things... Well, this would be it for me!
Serious boys of grime killed it on this record - they've also hooked up with Plan B on 'End Credits', which is perhaps more grimey than dancey, but either way, Kano goes hard on this tune.
Loving the old skool feel all over this record; plus Kano spits quite imaginatively on each bar too. A real fresh b-boy tune to break to. Hot video - hot tune! End of.
It doesn't matter who you are or where you are - this kid is f@&£%*# everywhere?!
In all honesty, I ain't feeling his usual Disney-touchy-feely-tweenie stuff, but this tune is heavy!
Is it all about the 'Bieber' these days? Seems like there's quite a few rappers getting their PR peeps to hook them up with this kid for some easy promo - but he's just everywhere right now isn't he.
I guess we'll just have to see how long he stays around for, but this tune with Usher is suprisingly good. Although teens singing about love is a bit daft right? Anyways, it's a killer beat and I likes.
3 years since the last Klaxons stuff - and it's fair to say 'Myths of the near Future' was a roaring success as far as indie-disfunctional-new-rave-hypnotic-acid-beats was concerned.
This new tune however... well, it's a bit more... erm, samey? I'm not sure - but it sounds similar to 'Magick', 'Atlantis to Interzone' and 'Totem on The Timeline'? Can't say it's a massive change of direction; however I don't think the Klaxons formula needs meddling with to be honest. I was all for the psychedelic-hippy-grime'a'tronic music from the last record. It was a brilliant journey into their imagination and way of doing things.
I think after the third spin, I was humming it and nodding my head to the heavy riff and 'weeee-woooowww' bits in my head too. Dirty beat'age with lots of slimy riff'age and techno-art-funk graffiti-trance is how I would best describe this tune.
A good return to the much needed boring indie music scene of late (well, bar the new Foals record by the way).
I think it's looking positive for these boys, and if this tune is anything to go by, the new album will deliver.
The future is bright.... The future is new rave?! (or is that dead now...)
