Miguel Jontel- Next BIG thing! Mark my words.



My 15 year old sister is an avid youtube cruiser and about a year ago she put me on to a guy named Miguel Jontel with a song called "Quickie" , yeah I was smh at her too.  Impressed by that 1st song I started cruisin his youtube channel myself and was totally perplexed as to why he hasn't made it yet.  On the low, he has made it as a producer, having wrote songs for  Usher, Musiq Soulchild and others.  Here is a more in depth article on him via Theboombox.com for those interested, if you don't care that much just check the links provided below.  Miguel Builds Industry Buzz With Genre-Defying Sound.

Here's some of his music for while you're reading.

My fav!! Sure Thing!!

Another favorite, this one is feat J.Cole All I Want is You


HERE is a writing session for a song that I guess he's giving to Musiq Soulchild, sounds like its gonna be goood too.

Who's Rich Hil???

I couldn't wait till 'Music Monday'!! loll
Rich Hil is a pretty talented MC. I came across a song he has with Kid Cudi, Won't You Tell Me, and liked it. After further research I found out he was the son of Tommy Hilfiger, yes, the fashion designer.  This made me dubious of his talent as a rap artist but also heightened my intrigue. I started youtubing some more of his music and fell upon, Leaning on my Re-up, also ILL. I read up on him and he's got a lot of cosigns from pretty decent artists so I decided to download his mix-tape and I luhhh it!! 'I Can't Stay Longer'  and ' Love Like Mine' are my favorite tracks thus far, but i'm only on my first listen and doin it while i'm writing this.


Download Limosa Nostra Act 1 here!!. It's also rumored that he will be releasing a mixtape with Kid Cudi. 

Check Day Dream and Love my Love.

Nas & Damian Marley-......Killa Combo


Distant Relatives dropped on May 18th and although I'm a huge fan of both artists, I was a bit apprehensive about the combo.  Not that I doubted their musical genius, I simply feared it would be exactly what I expected- a repetitive theme of unity, the ghetto, and reaching babylon. Now I feel foolish because although it does speak of all that, its done so beautifully. The album is deep, a stretch from the ego centric shit everyone is on. Don't even think they mentioned "swagga" once! loll Beyond the social and political commentary it is an album capable of lifting your spirits. UPlifting and lyrically genius! Worth the $$$ fahreall.

Your ears can thank me later...


Take a listen. If you can't appreciate the story in the songs, then you'll enjoy the eclectic collection of beats, sounds and vocals that create the sound. If you don't enjoy either.....your ears are just stubborn.

Alicia Keys- Unthinkable (I'm ready)

So, Alicia Keys finally released a video for my favorite song on her album, Unthinkable. It touches on the issue of interracial dating, which unfortunately, is still a head turner in most of the world. You'd think in 2010 we'd be above and beyond all the labels and restrictions but in actuality we're still so far behind.

Trap or Die 2!!! Finallyyyyyy


Jeezy came correct!! But he never really fails to impress me! I still bump his Let's Get It: Thug Motivation 101 track 3! loll that whole album brings back Summer '05 memories! I may be a lil bias bec I've had a thing for him since his first "yeaaaaa" and "daaaamnn" ad-libs. His swaggs just soo vicious! Anyway here's the intro and the link to download the mixtape. He's set June 22, as the release date for Thug Motivation 103! That is also the release dates for Eminem with Recovery,  Diddy with Last Train to Paris, and The-Dream's Love King. Click here to download Trap or Die 2 if you're really this late!! Enjoy!

Wiz Khalifa...Flyy Reefah

So 1st me and this guy were discussing music, puttin each otha on to some shit (those convo's will really give you great insight about someone-and givin the proper musical match-they're just as stimulating as the latenight ones fahreall ;) ) but he suggested a song by some dude named Wiz Khalifa, whose name I was familiar with only because of the pretty popular Name on a cloud that basically anyone who burns has heard. He suggested  Shawty wanna roll , I liked it (5points for him lol), so I started youtubing otha shit and came across buss down and reallyyyy liked it. Next thing you know, he's on the cover of XXL's 2010 top 10 Freshmen (which included Nipsey Hussle-who yall should also check!). Then on April 14th, 2010 he dropped his highly anticipated and 8th independently produced mixtape, Orangejuice & Kush (much prefer apple juice w.mines) but it's essentially a classic album to fly high on. Taylor Gang did thier thing fahreallll!

"In da cut, in da cut, roll them doobies up! Choked out Loced out Blowin hella smoke out! Rollin all this weed that i'm holdin, Thinkin she high before she even get to smoke it Blowin O's she know my dreams potent."

The entire mixtape is online- youtube. 

Sound-he takes it everyhwere. Lyrics-His creativity is obviously tweeked by some kush. Message- Life is better when you're flyin HIGH. (agreed)
Songs to check: In da cut, Mezmorized, Never been, Still blazin!

Wale....."Diary" Video

Presented last night on MTV, our D.C Representa told the story of  a black girls diary nicely. The pretty "around the way girls" were also appreciated, Wale a real dude for that rare almost defiant move. Fahreal fahreal though I was stuck on his $3,500 Tifanny Blue & Black Gator Louis Stewart Backpack! But here ya go!

Who Is NNEKA?

How I stumbled upon her, I do not know. It was luv at first listen though-maybe bec it was this (part of her song a youtuber was kind of enough to put up-the song in its entirety isnt up yet) I heard and it's undeniably pleasing to the ears-took em to Euphoria in 1 min & 5secs all the while using 4 words to do it (You make me strong). Check it! I couldn't help but be reminded of Lauryn Hill and that in itself is the biggest compliment I could give to any female artist. Hopefully, she'll breakthrough the states soon, she just released her 1st album here early this year-it's impressive.

Sound-Refreshing/unique. Lyrics-Aware/Enlightening. Message-Clear.
Songs to check: Death, Make Me Strong, Heartbeat.
