Ashanti Releases “Never Too Far Away”

Her first year on the scene, no one was knocking her from the top. Then came along an already established female in the industry with blonde locks... Since then, Ashanti's popularity has been on a steady decline. Today, she releases her first bit of music in well over a year. "Never Too Far Away" is produced by L.T. Hutton and [...]

The guys that brought us The Bahamian viral hit, "Stop Likin' Man" are back with the sequel, to the sequel. Yes, that's right, there was still enough momentum to squeeze out another installment of the series. "Stop Likin' Man Pt. 33 is another great take on the foolishness that has plagued this little nation of ours. The best bit about this latest installment is the guys' take on nationwide events like the frequent power outtages and the trend of planking. Each scene got a laugh out of us. That was the good, now for the bad. [...]

Proper Judgement: Lloyd’s ‘King Of Hearts’ Is Really SOLID

Aug 1, 2011, 10:17am The C.S. Perspective

So we were 'round the way over at Girls, Sounds & Sadomasochism and this song started playing and as we're listening to it (already hooked on to the beat) we're trying to figure who the singer is.

Jul 31, 2011, 6:16pm The C.S. Perspective

QUELLE! Can't even call R.A.P.P. Quelle 242 anymore, our dude has been making waves throughout various countries in Europe and in the United States as of late. It's been awhile since since we've received a track from him but as always, the aggressor comes through and pleases. Quelle pulls Mr. Mecca on board for a crazy cover of Jay-Z's and Kanye West's "Otis," entitled "Soul Of Blind Blake." Hip-Hop covers aren't our thing but Quelle makes it his own and we're bumpin' to this as if it was his track. Lead on Quelle!
