Wallpaper calls on the chef-turned-rapper Action Bronson for his sex and food themed track "Breakfast All Day." Wallpaper ft. Action Bronson – Breakfast All Day is a post from: That Hip Hop Blog
Good song. Action Bronson kind of has a Ghostface vibe, but maybe that's just us. We love Ghostface though.
Ever since posting Wallpaper's party-rocking "I Got Soul, I'm So Wasted," I've been keeping a keen eye on this artist/producer-extraordinaire . However, the results have been spotty. Aside from the soul-warming [...]
Wallpaper is on a mission to make some change. Paddled with student loans, and youthful exuberance, they are on the free hotel breakfast tip and bring along Action Bronson for the ride. It's all in audio form on this new record, which premiered on Complex . Wallpaper's Ricky Reed talked to them about the collaboration saying, "I needed an emcee with real immediacy for this urgent, grimey record. Not to mention linking delicious meals with delicious women, something Action Bronson is very familiar with. There's a real hunger to it. Literally and literally." Listen and download it below. [...]
Wallpaper. is one of those acts that understands the shift in what's popular in music (dance-pop) but defy it by having lyrics about stuff atypical to most music lyrics like a song about Blake Griffin being one of their latest examples. Here's their latest, "Breakfast All Day" which features rapper Action Bronson. Again, they have released a [...]
Wallpaper. - Breakfast All Day ft Action Bronson "A song equating food and sex? Hmmm.... who should I get on this? Romeo? Lil Debbie? J Cole? Man this is a tough one," is probably not a train of thought frontman Ricky Reed had when crafting this track. The obvious choice when it comes to all things culinary is Bam Bam Bronson aka The Rapping Gourmand. If you never checked out Wallpaper.'s #STUPiDFACEDD, do that. Throw this on tonight while you are getting it on and let those wildebeest noises run rampant. Via [...]
Friday marked a particularly strange day in the nearly 13-year-old experiment that is the Coachella music festival: just a week after many of music's biggest artists performed on five different stages scattered across the event's lush green performance site... the same artists hit the same stages to do it all again. "Good to be back," joked Dan Auerbach , singer-guitarist of swampy rock act The Black Keys , as they began their set. "It's been so long." (Call it deja-blues all over again.) The deliberate repetition created awkward moments for certain artists [...]
Day 1 of Coachella 2012 brought the boogie to thousands at the Empire Polo Grounds.
San Francisco's Outside Lands Music Festival turns five years old this summer (August 10-12th to be exact), and it's celebrating with some pretty big name talent. Metallica, Neil Young & Crazy Horse, Foo Fighters, Jack White, Stevie Wonder, and Beck top this year's bill. Other notable acts include Sigur Rós, Justice, Regina Spektor, Norah Jones, Skrillex, The Kills, Dispatch, Passion Pit, and Grandaddy. Also appearing on the lineup are Big Boi, Bloc Party, Franz Ferdinand, Andrew Bird, Explosions in the Sky, MSTRKRFT, Portugal. the Man, Dr. Dog, The Walkmen, Alabama Shakes, Fitz and the Tantrums, Amadou [...]
"Laying here awake in bed man. Can't sleep. I was born in CA and I've been waiting to play @Coachella my whole life," Wallpaper . frontman Ricky Reed tweeted prior to his group's first official performance at the music festival on Friday (April 13). But this isn't the Oakland quartet's first appearance at Coachella. Back in 2008, our SXSW Pray For Pop ac t was busted by the police for rocking in the music fest's parking lot. Ricky even joked earlier in the day via Twitter , [...]
Who: Wallpaper at the Mojave Tent In 3 or Fewer Words: The next LMFAO. Memorable Because: Here in the land of heart-shaped sunglasses, excess rules. And Wallpaper (Ricky Reed, backed by singer-keytarist Novena Carmel and a trio of tight-as-a-fist percussionists) pushes all the right buttons. Take away the naughty bits, and Wallpaper — who, if memory serves, used to be indie and a bit avant-electro — belongs on Disney Radio. You could hardly find anyone in the Mojave Tent's footloose and brightly dressed crowd who gave a whit. Pleas for call-and-response [...]
KIIS FM's annual Wango Tango music event is typically jam-packed with (pop) star power, but the 2012 edition seems even bigger than usual. The May 12 event, which will take place at the Home Depot Center in Carson, CA, will includes peformances by Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, Maroon 5, Foster the People, B.o.B, The Wanted, Gym Class Heroes, J. Cole, Big Sean, Wiz Khalifa, K'Naan, Chiddy Bang, Wallpaper. and Diggy Simmons. Also on hand will be Justin Bieber, though he won't be performing — he'll be introducing his new label signee, Carly Rae Jepsen.We'll be disappointed if he didn't sing at [...]
We're almost fully recovered from the marathon that is SXSW 2012 . But before we pack away our cowboy boots until next March, we'd like to take a moment to thank everyone who Prayed For Pop along with us in Austin and all over the word — especially, the fans who entered our postcard contest . Check out the handwritten personal notes from Cher Lloyd, Wallpaper., Penguin Prison and The Jane Doze below, before we dropped them in the mail. Their sentiments are the same as ours: Wish you could have been there with us! Thanks [...]
![Purity Ring, Caveman, Wallpaper & Neon Indian @ SXSW 2012 [Day 3]](http://cdn.elbo.ws/posts/4148957_lg.jpg)
Purity Ring @ MWTX After listening to the womping bass, I'd say Purity Ring should aim for a bid to steal Bass Drums of Death's name. During their performance the bass frequency rattled the metal roof of the warehouse that housed MWTX, as though a tornado was approaching. At times bridging hip hop rhythms (drawing comparisons to jj), Purity Ring also has elements of avant-rock similar to Fever Ray. Sharp synth notes were magnified over the bombarding bass, masking vocalist Megan James' soft and sheepish voice. James' singing was almost intelligible, serving more as complimentary instrument most notably on the song "Ungirthed." [...]
Wallpaper has become a local favorite in the Bay Area since the mid 2000s and we're happy to be sharing him with every single person at Coachella in 2012.
A mass of pop's most faithful gathered late last night at the Pure Volume House in Austin to Pray For Pop along with us at our annual South By Southwest showcase. The adorable duo known as The Jane Doze helped get the party started with remixes of Robyn and Rihanna as the crowd poured in around midnight. We were honored to have Cher Lloyd kick things off with her first-ever live US performance — and an incredibly cheeky one at that. Our recent Popping Up artist Penguin Prison kept the party going with his tunes, and [...]
Though the doors to Idolator's South By Southwest Pray For Pop party at the Pure Volume House in Austin didn't open until midnight last night, getting a good night's sleep was the farthest thing from the minds of the stretched line of music fans waiting to get in. The eager crowd was first greeted by Robyn and Rihanna remixes being spun by irresistibly cute New York DJ duo The Jane Doze, who got the night warmed up ahead of the very first US performance by UK pop singer Cher Lloyd, and gigs by Penguin Prison and [...]
Whitney Van Cleave has been contributing the last couple of days while taking in all of the action in Austin for the interactive portion of SXSW. Ms. Van Cleave checks in with one of the bay area's liveliest acts going, Wallpaper. "Last night Wallpaper brought the house down at Speakesy during SAYmedia/TastemakerX party. The Oakland-based beat-tacular pop outfit surprised everyone with barrage of drums, clapping and sharp-tongued rhymes from front man Ricky Reed. Add in the antics of female accompaniment Novena, who has more ferocity and swagger than I thought [...]
Tweet vaso link Rochester band The Wallpaper recently released a video for "Iris," a track off their upcoming EP. The song is simplistic sounding while still offering your ears plenty to pay attention to. The video matches that visually with the picture-in-picture effect adding an unexpected layer to an otherwise simple concept. It was directed by Adam Netsky, who was also responsible for his brother Josh Netsky's The Spirits movie, which they released together last month. The Wallpaper are amidst a brief [...]
