Kooley High

Kooley High - Kooley is High (prod. by DeLa) from BECAUSEUS on Vimeo.

If you didn't make it to the show this past Sunday, YOU MISSED IT!
I told yall to be there, and of course I gotta call you lame for not showing up.
Pac Div was headlining, but a group from NC by the name of Kooley High was able to grace the stage. And they KILLED IT!



It's nice seeing a diverse and lyrical group like this. No one was overbearing and they all held their own on the mic. They displayed great chemistry and the performance left you wanting more.

So check out their site KooleyHigh.com.
You can also get their EP, Kooley is High on their website. (I got my copy at the show!)

jam!!!S. is one of the Dopest artists in the DMV

All the time people always ask "Who did your logo?"
And I have to tell them, one of the dopest artists in the DMV.
jam!!!S. is a talented young man who coincidentally I knew growing up. He's always had a notepad and pencil as far as I could remember. So it totally made sense that he followed his passion and is a graphic designer.



When you're trying to give a face to your brand/company, it's a real difficult decision trying to find the right artist who would be able to depict what you have envisioned. With out hesitation I knew he was the artist who would be able to make BluVision what she is today. And every time I look at her myself or I get the endless compliments on how she looks, it confirms that I made the best choice.

So if you're looking for someone to do any: FLYERS, LOGOS, TATTOOS, ALBUM COVERS, T-SHIRTS... ANY thing! Make sure you check out: www.jam-smith.com

Ra the MC- Heart of a Champion (mixtape)

Click HERE to Download

Get the NEW Mixtape from RA the MC, who's out of the DMV area. I've seen her perform twice and she's full of energy on stage and gives a dope ass performance with a live band.
This mixtape has been getting great reviews and you need to find out for yourself on what you are missing on!

PAC DIV & Greenspan @ Sonar!!

I've been following Pac Div for years now. They were one of the first hip hop groups that I interviewed back when I was doing student radio at Morgan State. This group gives so much energy and creativity that's lacking these days.
So of course I'm excited to see them doing a tour on the East Coast. And they are finally making there way to Baltimore this weekend. With other great artists opening the stage up for them like one of my favorite local artists, Greenspan!



So there's no reason for you NOT to get your ticket for this weekend. It's only $13, you can borrow that from somebody. No excuses this weekend. You need to come out and support some good ass talent. Point blank.
We can't expect these artists to get put on the map if we don't come out to support them in numbers. So stop faking!



~See you there!

Sigmund’s Dope: Power of the P-U-BLI-CIT-Y

Sigmund Dope goes in HARD on this recent blog posted about men in the spot light. So of course I had to share with you...

Be sure to leave your comments.

***********

Power of the P-U-BLI-CIT-Y (Analyzing the minds of men under scrutiny)

Mwahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!! And they call themselves men.

It’s too strong, yes I know. Hard to resist and once a man sticks his “EGO” inside the publicity, its like, busting triple entendres. You see how they act? You see how foolish they get over a little publicity? It’s like lying with a whore that said she was a virgin: you’re pushing, but once you’re in there, you feel first…accomplished…mistakenly triumphant like you’re the only man that made it.

Read the rest after the jump.

And that’s how you get burned. Not everybody is blinded by the gimmicks. You see, I’ve watched men get swooped by the power of the P-U-BLI-CIT-Y. For instance, Kanye re-hashed a Waffle House-of a situation, dating back 50′leven years ago when he basically told Taylor Swift that she wasn’t s#!+ at the MTV Video Music Awards. It had already been scattered, covered, smothered and then smashed. But like a dog, he vomitted and wanted to eat it again. And I hope he got sick. Because I sure did. I thought that maybe he and Michael Vick would have taken one of those Publicity Anonymous classes, you know? Learn a little bit on how to recover and move forward beyond a failing affair with the media? But nah, he smelled a chance to get inside the publicity just one more time, conveniently before the VMA’s this Sunday, and the drop of “Devil in a new dress”…oh yeah and “Monster!” He was thirsty wasn’t he? That’s what we in the south call a man who’s pressed for pleasure: thirsty.

Yelawolf meets Busta Rhymes

One of my current Favorite artists meets one of my ALL TIME Favorite artists!!!
Yelawolf gets the opportunity to meet classic Hip Hop icon Busta Rhymes at Rock the Bells this year. Here's a brief clip showing you how the old and new school appreciate each other!

Busta Rhymes - MTV Shows

Yelawolf is known for his fast rappin and crazy lyrics. His last mixtape Trunk Muzik has been catching the ears of many. He's done work on the recent album from Big Boi, Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty.



Now I have to say, I loved the track that Busta had back on his album E.L.E. with Mystikal called "Iz They Wildin Wit Us & Gettin' Rowdy Wit Us?". I can only imagine what this song with Twista will sound like that's in the works. I hope Yelawolf does get the chance to get on a record with those two. I just don't think the listeners are ready just yet. Lol!

Foreign Exchange- Maybe She'll Dream of Me

The Foreign Exchange brings us their new single from their upcoming album, due to come out October 12, called Authenticity. The single is MAYBE SHE'LL DREAM OF ME. It's the last track on this player, Check It OUT To Listen!!
Of course, it's real smooth and a good jam that you can get into this Fall. Also on the player you can listen to other artists under +FE music such as: Zo!, YahZarah, and Nicolay.

Jazzy Interview by Bobby Marvin

It is safe the say that Jazzy has a pretty good resume. She sung background vocals for Melanie Fiona on Kanye West's Glow in the Dark tour in Europe and managed to work briefly with Jamie Foxx's publishing company Jazzy. Now the R&B singer and songwriter from Los Angeles is currently on a promotional tour sharing her latest effort from her effort latest project Beauty and the Beat. A few weeks ago she made her way through Gypsy Soul's Ear Candy for an intimate performance in Baltimore. Check out what she had to say.

Blakface- Cov Groove

Blakface- Cov Groove (prod. by Mike Wofford)
BIO: "Blakface is an unique original hip hop group with sound blended live
compositions, and innovative yet conscious lyrics. Using the irony of the
blackface minstrel history, this group has set a purpose to reverse the
negativity seen in the minstrel era, to now not only look at just the
blackface surface but acknowledge the development and the progression we as
a society are trying to make. Authentic centric music created with an
hip-hop intellect Blakface is banging down borders, color lines,
limitations, and close mined boundaries while recognizing the past
generations ancestry and embracing the worlds culture today."
