The breezy indie-pop on the debut EP by Bets casts the singer as a wide-eyed and sharply observant narrator of matters of the heart, and when there's a view as in "Rooftop Lover," beyond. Her voice is a delicate but expressive instrument, recalling Inara George, and the EP — which came out in January and was recorded with Aaron Espinoza and Ariana Murray of Earlimart at the Ship studio in Eagle Rock — boasts the kind of tasteful arrangements that lets Bets work her magic. The singer, who splits her time between New York City and Los Angeles [...]

If you look towards the Pacific every evening, the LA skyline is usually painted with a gorgeous golden sunset. It's easy to miss in the rustle-and-bustle of everyday life, but it's a pleasure when a singer-songwriter like BETS comes along to vividly remind you of nature's mysterious gifts. "Rooftop Lover" isn't a song about contemplating this notion. Far from it - the image it evokes is one that comes naturally when we associate being in places that expand our viewpoint for at least a second. Composed of a weeping ukulele arrangement, the lackadaisical tune calmly strums over a [...]

I first heard of CJ Hilton after listening to Raphael Saadiq’s album The Way I See It where we appeared on a track called “ Never Give You Up ” which received a Grammy nod at the 2009 awards and also included the talents of Stevie Wonder. It then wasn’t really until 2011 while watching BET (Black Entertainment Television) that I happened to catch a video by Hilton entitled " So Fresh " (feat. Nas) which got me intrigued and prompted me to find out what else he had to offer. [...]

BET is calling this one: Murder To Excellence: Life & Hip-Hop In Chicago . I'm not digging the title, or the fact that they only covered a certain group of artists, but it's an in-depth piece nonetheless. Is it exploitive, or does it deserve the attention? Watch for yourself and share your thoughts. Part two and three below.
It wouldn't be x-ma$ again if we didn't get the annual festive single from the KILLERS . It starts out with the BRANDON FLOWERS laying in bed (ahem) as I FEEL IT IN MY BONES . Then it all gets a lil messy (and wishful thinking).

Then Missy rushed on stage for a verse on the song, before the two broke out part of Missy's new song "9th Inning." Watch it all up top. [via Pink Is The New Blog ]

Chaque année c'est la même chose, la session Cyphers du Bet Hip-Hop Awards est sûrement l'une des plus attendue. Un principe, un seul, des rappeurs qui ont de la bouteille rencontrent des rappeurs qui vont avoir de la bouteille et posent sur un beat basique en freestyle. Ici nous avons encore de très bonnes rencontres, Mac Miller aux côtés de Schoolboy Q avec l'énorme Mystikal sur la même session, RZA & A$AP Rocky avec une ribambelle d'autres rappeurs, ou encore les Ruff Ryders (Mook, Cassidy, [...]
