The Brat
Yelawolf, Yelawolf, Yelawolf, boy oh boy did you come hard with this new track and video for the song 'Hard White (Up in the Club)' which does feature Lil Jon but I think the word feature should be "featured" with the air quotes because Lil Jon doesn't spit a verse or anything, but he I guess kind of does the chorus, but not really. Either way, it doesn't take away from the bossness of the song, from the verses Yela spits to the crazy amazing beat to go with it. This is like the first hard Yelawolf song I've heard where he really goes in over a crazy beat and rips it to shreds. The video for this is also pretty crazy, for the fellas, a lot of women, whipped cream/pie, girls (delicately) fighting and some other stuff. One thing I love, is that tie-dye hoodie that Yela rocks in the video because I'm not a fan of them, but just something about him wearing one makes me want to get/make a tie-dye hoodie just like that one. 'Hard White' is the first song off of Yela's upcoming album "Radioactive" so be on the lookout for that.KiD CuDi 'Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some More Of This Whiskey!"
Brand new KiD CuDi, back to his producing ways with the reverse of his song 'Ghost!' (off of MOTMII) to create a short, yet catchy song entitled 'Dennis, Hook Me Up With Some More Of This Whiskey!'

Notorious B.I.G. x Kanye West 'Suicidal Thoughts (White Lotus Runaway Mashup)'
So apparently this remix has been out for a few months now, but I am just getting hip to it, and I know that some of ya'll may be too so it's all right. I was just jamming along to whoever was playing some Biggie not too long ago outside my dorm, and I decided to listen to some as well on my laptop and I somehow came across this White Lotus mashup/remix of Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Suicidal Thoughts' which blends the chorus and the beat of Ye's 'Runaway.' There's just something about that beat which makes any song or verse just that much more sentimental and the song like a billion times better. I'm not really a fan of the original song because I thought Yeezy could have done more with the verses, and the first version of the song I actually heard was that by the one and only Carlos St. John (listen here), and I just fell in love with that version. However, the powerful reflections of B.I.G.'s 'Suicidal Thoughts' mashed up with the 'Runaway' beat are just incredible. Shoutouts to DJ White Lotus and the crew for putting this together, it's pure genius.

The Knux 'Run (feat. KiD CuDi)'
Sorry I haven't been posting lately, I've been busy with getting situated with school and what not, so I haven't really had any time to check out new music and what not. However, I do have some artists and stuff that I've been meaning to put you guys onto, but I haven't really had the chance to do so, but here's some fairly new music by a hip hop/rock and electro duo by the name of The Knux. The song 'Run' features one of my favorite artists, KiD CuDi (who does his darn thang on his verse), and I'm really diggin all the instruments, that guitar and drum piece really make the song. The chorus for the song is very simple and catchy to say the least, and I really love the difference in styles with CuDi's verse and the more singy/poppy sounds of The Knux. This duo/collaboration on the song was well done. Be on the lookout for 'Run' on The Knux's upcoming album, but you purchase the song now on iTunes.

KiD CuDi 'Spontaneously Combust (Old CuDi)'
For all you CuDi heads wanting to hear some new/old music in anticipation for "A Man Named Scott" (CuDi's mixtape before the album) and his rock styled album which I am unsure about the album title, but is due to be released in the Fall of next year (I believe). Recently posted some previously unreleased music from KiD CuDi entitled 'Spontaneously Combust' is slightly different from the KiD CuDi many of you know and love, but nonetheless Cudders still brings the heat and gives his fans another track that they can love. I honestly can't get enough of KiD CuDi whether it's some unheard of songs he did, some remixes he's on, or even just a blazing freestyle, CuDi always puts his heart and soul into his music.

Jadakiss & Styles P 'Otis (Freestyle)'
We all knew it was bound to happen, a million and one different remixes to Kanye & Jay-Z's track 'Otis,' and there has been a few somewhat remixes, freestyles whatever you wanna call it to the song that are decent and somewhat listenable. One of them happens to be the version that Jadakiss & Styles P released. I don't know what it is, but their wordplay is crazy and their like flows together idk how to explain it, but they can finish each other's sentences very well. I like it when they do music together, and they always know how to take someone else's song and make it as good or even better than the original version. Take a listen to their version of 'Otis' and you can't tell me they didn't do the darn thang over the beat.
Young the Giant 'Cough Syrup (Official Video)'
Sorry I haven't been posting lately ya'll, I've been busy with work and not on my grind to find new music to post for you all, but I'm back so let's get to it. I've been on this band Young the Giant (more when they were known as The Jakes) for a few years now, and today while I just so happened to be watching MTV this morning and I was watching the end of the video for 'Cough Syrup' which I was taken aback by because I had no idea there was a video for this. This is the first time I've seen a Young the Giant or The Jakes music video, and I can really dig what they did here. I wasn't sure how they'd visualize the song, but I like it. I've also seen a few of their live performances and they also perform live very well. An amazing band ya'll should deff check out.

Cam Meekins "Blazed & Confused (Mixtape)"
Cam Meekins, if you've never heard of him take a second while I put you onto him, he's a rapper out of the Massachusetts area, so shoutouts to the 413 and other area codes in Mass (lol). I've heard a couple of his freestyles and songs from Cam on his YouTube and I was impressed with his style and after hearing this 6 track mixtape entitled "Blazed & Confused" I'm thoroughly delighted by it. I wasn't totally sure what to expect, but Cam really did put his all into this tape and I hope you all are able to see the hard work that he's putting in as he gets deeper into the rap game. My favorite song off of "Blazed & Confused" would have to be 'Purple' at the moment. The song feels so real and he's really telling a story through his rhymes on this song and it's what really attracts me to the song. STOP SLEEPING ON CAM MEEKINS.
