Matt's Song of the Week

I chose this song because Earl is the man. He's one of the most talented rappers I have ever heard and his delivery is insane. This song is just fun to bump every now and then.


Mike's Song of the Week

I picked Senior Skip Day by Mac Miller. The is addicting and Mac is a good rapper. I love this song.

Psychic Babble - My Own Stupid Mouth Review

Cover art for My Own Stupid Mouth

Earlier we did an interview with Colin Frangicetto of circa survive about his side project “Psychic Babble” and just recently released a 4 song EP for free. The relaxed indie sound is unique and hard to describe in a very good way. The best way to describe the sound is “honest”, all the music that Colin has come out with so far has sounded like music that is truthful and something he believes in. Psychic Babble is the kind of music that you can really vibe to. Colin’s voice has taken me by surprise from the start when I heard his music, it’s something I just didn’t expect. Psychic Babble just sounds so real and relaxed that I can’t wait till the official album drops on August 11th.

F**K YEAH RATING: 7.6 - Good EP.

Check It: Toro Y Moi

Strange name, strange sounds, amazing music. That is what the solo act Toro y Moi is: a one man group with sole member Chazwick Bundick shaping a new wave of music known as the chillwave movement.

Toro y Moi means "Bull and I". His songs are hard to describe. They contain electric instrumentals with soft and ambient vocals. His sound pops and sounds a lot different from most out there. His music really provides an atmosphere to the point where you often get lost in the music. Its hard to describe so listen to his song Talamak:

He's a real down to earth guy too unlike a lot of other players in the music industry. He's quickly gaining speed too as his fan base grows at a very fast rate. You should definitely check him out, hes a fun indie artist and he's definitely one of the chillest musicians I've ever heard.

Album Review: UFK - Bass Culture (Compilation CD)

This weekend UKF released a new compliation of dubstep songs from producers hailing from the United Kingdom, the home of dubstep. There is a large level of diversity on this album and it is sure to please most in at least some parts. The album Bass Culture has two full disks of heavy hitting dubstep songs. This compilation cd is a must for all who are just getting into the genre of dubstep, or for those who want to find some new producers. There are no repeats of any artist throughout the album so the variety found on this 36 song compilation album is unmatched. Bass culture does a good job on representing the type of dubstep found in the UK. Combine the price, amount of music, variety and quality that can be found on this compilation it’s hard to find a reason to not pick it up. Check out a megamix of the album below. 

F**K YEAH RATING: 8.4 - If you like the genre, it's great.

Drake Releases Leaks Another Song

Recently Drake released another song from his upcoming album "Take Care". Following the success of "Marvin's Room" and "Dreams Money Can Buy", the release of this song was exciting for many. The song isn't an R&B song like "Marvin's Room", it is a rap song. Personally, it sounds pretty good. But what do you think? Check it out:

Song of the Week - July 31

Matt's Song of the Week

My song of the week is "Thinking of You" by Frank Ocean. I chose it because he's an incredibly talented singer first of all and second of all the way he orchestrates his songs is flawless and a breath of fresh air to R&B.

Mike's Song of the Week

I picked "Not Now" by Blink-182. I picked it cause theres open show is this week and this brings back memories of a time bbefore they broke up and now its a start of a new Blink era.

Comment below or on facebook and twitter and let us know which song you like better!

Check It: Odd Future

A few members of Odd Future including Left Brain, Syd, Tyler the Creator and Hodgy Beats.

      It's hard to describe Odd Future, but we'll start off with the full name of this California hip hop collective: Odd Future Wolfgang Kill Them All or quite simply OFWGKTA. They began only a few years ago and since then have created they're own brand of hip hop. They have been labeled as a somewhat horrific form of music by many critics, but often deny it.
      This group was started by Tyler, the Creator. He soon made major additions to the group such as Earl Sweatshirt (although Earl is currently in a correctional school in Samoa), Syd the Kid, Hodgy Beats, Left Brain and Frank Ocean though it is said that there are hundreds of members in the "Wolf Gang". Within the group there are several divisions such as EarlWolf (Earl and Tyler), Mellowhype (Left Brain and Hodgy), and a few others. Though they are a group, they all record their own stuff. Tyler has his own songs, Earl has his own, and etc. However, they do often feature each other in their songs frequently.
       The content of some of the members' music is often very horrific and often heavy. Some allude to rape, murder, and disrespecting authority/society.  In several interviews Tyler is asked about why his songs are so violent and he gives a good answer: movies do it. Movies contain incredible violence frequently and it's often much worse than things musicians write so why can't he make songs that contain lyrical content that mirrors some actions in movies?
      Odd Future is somewhat Indie at the moment, but with Tyler up for a VMA that could change very soon.. I see big or should I say odd things in the future for this Wolf Gang. Make sure you check them out and let us know what you think! In the meantime, here's a song by one of their member's Earl Sweatshirt, but beware, this song is an example of their heavy music:
