When "Murs for President" came out, it was a time when the United States was in the middle of a tense political and social climate. We were on the cusp of a new electron, a deep financial crisis, and social media revealed itself as a leading form of mass communication. In an era when we felt bombarded by popular culture, Murs humorously and profoundly commented on the state of things, in turn contributing to a voice of the current generation. A couple of years have passed since "Murs for President," and many things have changed for us. [...]

King Mez sits down with Flud Way TV of Flud Watches to discuss a few things. Mezitron tells where his name came from, the creative process behind "My Everlasting Zeal," what influences him, and working with J. Cole (expect more from these 2 soon). "I speak on what's on my heart and mind, not what's popular or what the masses are talking about. There's no outside influence, except the things that i want to be influenced by.

I present a gem of a release by MachineDrum featuring Melo X entitled Let It . Neck breaking production on the single is notable on all tunes including the remixes by heavy hitters Edit and Lazer Sword . The big boom blap slap is well accompanied by Melo X 's lyrical delivery. The extra track, Flud , is actually my fave from the release. It's slow and moody vibe will have you wishing there were more than two minutes in the tune. [...]

Digiwaxx caught up with the folks behind the rising brand FLüd Watches during their press event for their Winter line and spoke on the origins of the company, show off some of their products and speak on how watches are more than just timepieces.

I select my clothes and accessories very meticulously, and living in New York has forced me to be even more choosy about the impulse purchases I make. But as soon as I saw a tent for Flud Watches at the Brooklyn Hip Hop Festival , [...]
