Listen: Meek Mill – “Amen (feat. Drake & Jeremih)”

May 6, 2012, 10:26am Lost In The Sound

The latest from Maybach Music's Meek Mill  (how's that for alliteration?) features the dream chaser on a beat that sounds quite different from his usual gritty bangers. To change things up a bit, Meek teamed up with Young Angel and the smooth crooner Jeremih over some church-inspired piano notes to show his versatility as an artist. Amen. Dreamchasers 2  is out May 7th. MP3: Meek Mill - "Amen (feat. Drake & Jeremih)"

[Listen] Drake: "Crew Love" (Feat. The Weeknd) (Star Slinger Remix)

May 3, 2012, 4:02pm My Blog Cliche

Ver a The Weeknd en Coachella interpretar la colaboracion que hizo con Drake titulada "Crew Love" fue toda una experiencia ya que mas alla de estar un poco pasmado por la brutal aceptacion y el cariño que recibia Abel Tesfaye en ese momento, en cuanto comenzo a sonar toda la atmosfera del lugar se convirtio en una sola voz y es que no se si ustedes han llegado a checar los videos que han colgado en Youtube, pero fue uno de los sets mas coreables de todo el fin de semana e incluso debo decir que [...]

[Review/Listen] – Nicki Minaj – “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded”

Apr 6, 2012, 4:00pm Listen Before You Buy

Hip-hop spectacle and schizophrenic MC Nicki Minaj adds another chapter to her Pink Friday collection with "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" , which suggested a heavy focus on Roman, one of her many alter-egos.  Even though she doesn’t seem to have learned any new tricks, Nicki Minaj fans will rejoice at the prospect of new material from the newly appointed hip-hop queen. From the first notes of “Roman Holiday,” Minaj sounds at odds with the sort of music she’s attempting to sing.  Her comically faux-British accent only emphasizes her [...]

[Review/Listen] – The Weeknd – “Echoes of Silence”

Jan 12, 2012, 3:58pm Listen Before You Buy

Tweet Abel Tesfaye, the voice behind Toronto-based The Weeknd , has had quite the year.  In March, he released "House of Balloons", a dark collection of songs that emphasized his strengths as a prolific, melody-building crooner.  Tesfaye oddly stayed out of the direct spotlight, which raised the anticipation from his fans for new material, that came in the form of another mixtape entitled "Thursday".  After the two mixtapes, and appearing on Drake’s "Take Care" multiple times, Tesfaye dropped his final mixtape [...]

[Listen] DJ Khaled: "I'm On One" (Unicorn Kid Remix)

Dec 23, 2011, 1:25pm My Blog Cliche

Siempre que escucho algo de Unicorn Kid vienen a mi mente imagenes de delfines saltando en playas en los que frecuentemente esta puesto un arcoiris 'mirame a huevo' sobre un enorme rave con ambientaciones noventeras; ya saben, algo con un estilo un poco sci-fi computarizado pero esto, probablemente solo sea algun efecto provocado por aquel video que solto hace un buen rato de " Boys Of Paradise ". Pero bueno, hace unas cuantas horas este tipo subio a su cuenta de soundcloud un remix que le hizo a este track de DJ Khaled en el que colabora [...]

[Review/Listen] – Drake – “Take Care”

Dec 9, 2011, 4:00pm Listen Before You Buy

Tweet For the past few months, it seems like Drake has been the most hated man in hip-hop. Endless blogs have attacked him and his self-developed cult of personality, calling him out for being “soft” in all-caps rants or decrying his lack of being able to “say anything new”. Does he deserve all the hate? Well, yes and no. On the one hand, the attacks on his “softness” are really just thinly-veiled homophobic comments masquerading as criticism, and it’s also [...]

Drawing heavily from Jamie xx's brilliant remix of Gil Scott-Heron's I'll Take Care of U  and featuring the current go-to girl Rihanna, Take Care is an interesting melting-pot of noise that showcases just how eclectic modern pop music is becoming.  Rihanna purrs as normal, Jamie xx's spirit keeps things minimal and Drake does his thing.
