Here’s a ballad I just finished recording with Alixe Turner… a talented musician and good friend of mine (here voice is to die for). My equally talented roomate Holloway can be credited for the jazzy trumpet drops. Show her some lovvvvee yo!
In other news… i cant get this track out of my head…
“we should all wear polkadotssss!”
Time for some mash up. STV SLV and ABX make up the HOOD INTERNET which focus mainly on mash up of indie rock and hip hop. Although sometimes I cringe when I hear lil weeezy over a relaxing indie song that I enjoy (check below) the creativity and the skill to put it all together in a format that sounds great deserves respect. I’ve randomly downloaded tracks from these guys for a while now as a banger or just a new spin on an old track that I like. They’ve got … hundreds of mash ups…. and I’m only throwing up a few which doesn’t do them justice so check out their http://www.myspace.com/therealhoodinternet and peep the mixtapes for a broader view.

Young Hov’s 12th album has officially been leaked! The 15 track record has guest spots from Drake, Kid Cudi, Alicia Keys and the regulars; Mr. West, Jeezy, Pharrell and Rihanna. Kanye is all over the CD production-wise, with No I.D. weighing in heavily as well, most notably on D.O.A, and mainstays such as The Neptunes and Timbo make contributions. I haven’t listened to the CD enough to give you a fair review, but I’ll put my 2 cents in once I get there. The only song I have heard alot is the first single, Death of Auto-Tune, and honestly I feel that Jay had the right idea, but faltered to far from his original goal. The record was supposed to be against all the fake shit in hip-hop, and I agree this auto-tune shit has gotten out of hand, but DJ Khalid, Young Jeezy and Funkmaster Flex do not represent anything close to real hip-hopand. Jay-Z seems to disagree with me. We also differ in our stance that the injection of color into fashion is a step in the wrong direction. Since when is self-expression bad? Isn’t that what this whole music thing is about? Hova, you are the first to say that you aren’t a gangster, so stop trying to be G by saying you’re only going to wear black.
Anyways, heres your fix. Enjoy
