With the art of retaining focus being so paramount, delivering solid material has to be at the forefront of creativity. Grant R (aka TYR) unleashes a lethal vampiric lord like grip over SunSquabi's 'Lone Star' that turns out to be a gigantic expression of electronic guitar threading wildness - while TYR's own track called 'Focus' [...]
Last night (March 3), Alicia Keys kicked off the third season of 'Oprah's Master Class' with some of the biggest revelations she's had in her career thus far. The format is simple - Keys reminisces as she sits in front of a backdrop - but her answers may surprise even her biggest fans. As expected, Keys talked about the first time she met label executive Clive Davis (at his office, its walls covered with photographs of musical idols) and the first time she met her husband, Swizz Beatz ("He's just [...]
Room516 Q&A: Whitesquare For the second installment of our Q&A series we flew across the Atlantic and sat down with Whitesquare at a busy café in Rome (none of that happened). All jokes aside, Whitesquare is easily one of the most consistent producers we’ve come across. The Italian beatmaker has set the bar particularly high for himself and he still pumps out jams on an astounding basis. Through remixes of such acts as Disclosure, Kendrick Lamar and Joy Orbison, he’s gotten some serious attention from numerous labels. It really comes as no surprise [...]

I dont know 1 person who could realte to this lifestyle.
I think I get why you hate Swizz Beatz. Maybe I don't, but I'll try anyway. Is it the fact that a 17 year old figured out how to make a ton of money off the basic shitty Casio keyboards we all owned, by making alternately good and shitty beats for the last decade and a half? Is it because he won't shut up on the tracks he produces for others and he refuses to let his weird excuse for a solo career just die out? Is it because he married that one light [...]
A few days ago Swizz Beatz premiered "Everyday Birthday," his entry into the canon of Rap Songs About Birthday-Like Partying. The club banger features Chris Brown and Ludacris , and the trio made sure the video matches the song's party anthem aspirations. Channeling The Hangover , the TAJ-directed clip finds Luda waking up in a tub, as the guys recreate a debauched bender in Cannes, France. Ya know, just a ho-hum, everyday birthday (if you're a hip-hop star). [...]
Producer and sometime-rapper Swizz Beatz dropped his new track "Everyday Birthday" featuring Ludacris and Chris Brown . And the song is a Major Lazer -like storm of dance club fervor that lives up to the nonstop party vibe implied by the title. Unlike 2 Chainz and Kanye West 's "Birthday Song," the Jukebox -penned jam is less focused on the big booties and more [...]
