E.A.S.T.S.I.D.E. U.P. - Before The Deal [Mixtape download]


This is a special post right here, because it's my first post hosting a FREE mixtape supporting LOCAL hip hop. E.A.S.T.S.I.D.E. U.P. is a rap duo representing Toronto. With all the hype Drake is making in the industry, expect the North American spotlight to be casted on the Toronto hip hop scene in 2010. And more importantly, expect E.A.S.T.S.I.D.E. U.P. to be ready at the fore front when it happens. Be the first to hear their movement, before bigger things arise. You can download their "Before The Deal" Mixtape now at:

Alexisonfire - Born and Raised [Video]

Bring Me The Horizon - The Sadness Will Never End [Video]



2nd single off "Suicide Season"... which also happens to be my 2nd favorite song off the album too. This song features Sam Carter of The Architects doing melodic vocals. Watch them do a screaming/singing battle near the end of the song, my fave part.

AFI - Medicate [Video]



Not sure what took so long for this video to come out... it's rare for a video to come out AFTER the album drops. And if what I hear is true about Paramore outselling Crash Love to take the #1 spot on Billboard... well, I'm truly shocked! I thought AFI fans still buy CD's, whereas Paramore's just download. I wasn't too impressed by either albums actually. "Decemberunderground" and "Riot!" were better... in my humble opinion.

Saosin - Changing




FINALLY!! The 1st OFFICIAL video from their new album. It has a cool concept, made the most of a low budget video.

The Almost - Lonely Wheel



This is a new track from The Almost (side project from Aaron Gillespie of Underoath). Their new album "Monster, Monster" drops November 3rd. You can catch The Almost on tour with The Used this fall.

Fashawn - Life As A Shorty



Representing the West Coast... Co-signed by Evidence... I'm feelin his music, he has a fresh sound. His album "Boy Meets World" drops soon.

Drake - Fear

Bonus track off the So Far Gone re-issue. This marks the 3rd Drake song I like... slowly, very slowly living up to the hype.

The Used - Live @ Chain Reaction (CD Release Party)



The Used performing a mini concert (8 songs) for their CD release party at Chain Reaction. Excellent quality!!

Dead By Sunrise - Crawl Back In [Video]



The long awaited side project from Linkin Park frontman, Chester Bennington. Reminds me of Stone Temple Pilots. Not really feeling this song, however, the other tracks I've heard are much better. Album drops in October.

Tribal Gear Clothing - Documentary (Trailer)

One of my favorite clothing brands since high school... still rockin' it to this day. Although it's pretty much impossible to find here on the East Coast, thank god for online shopping. Retna, Abel and Zane are my fave graff artists on the roster. Congrats on the anniversary, keep up the good work!

Jay-Z - Rhapsody Commercial

Hands down, the coolest commercial ever made!

Jay-Z interview on Bill Maher

And this is why Jay-Z is such a prolific writer... that book is bigger than the Bible. Practice makes perfect.

Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne & Eminem - Forever

Not sure who spits the better verse on this... they're all so superior.

Monday, August 24, 2009

Saosin - Is This Real?

1st single off new album?!?! The video is very basic, supposedly a promo video for Hurley. I wouldn't be surprised if a more high budget video for an entirely different song hits the web soon. Remember... "Search For Solid Ground" coming Sept. 8th.

Friday, August 21, 2009

Eminem - Relapse 2... November 17th?

Dear Marshall,

Please, please please... make this better than the 1st Relapse... i.e.; ditch the annoying voices and spit more reality based lyrics (circa your first 3 albums).

Thanks.

Classified - Up All Night

I think this makes the 3rd single from Self-Explanatory?? Anyway, just found out today that Class's father sings the hook and plays the janitor in the video.

Jay-Z feat. Rihanna & Kanye West - Run This Town

Luvin this video... medieval thuggery or sumthin'

Lupe Fiasco - The Importance of Lyrics

All aspiring emcee's... listen up!

Monday, August 17, 2009

Paramore - Ignorance

Not sure how I feel about this being a 1st single... there's a lot riding on this considering all the new late-comer fans. The new album Brand New Eyes comes out September 29th.

Red Jumpsuit Apparatus - Pen & Paper

Awesome song!!... the video is kind of high school'ish behaviour, but still a cool concept. I like the flaming bow n' arrow near the end.

Cobra Starship - Good Girls Go Bad

Not something I'd typically like, but it's catchy... and Gym Class Heroes affiliated :)

Jay-Z - The Blueprint Collectors Edition (Album Cover)

Catalogue marketing at it's best! This is the cover for the reissue Def Jam's putting out (Jay is now on Atlantic Records). The Blueprint Collectors Edition is basically The Blueprint 1 & 2 repackaged, with a collectors item poster. Album will be released on September 11th, same day as The Blueprint 3. So go out and rediscover the classics... past and present.

Anberlin - True Faith (New Order cover)

Anberlin covering "True Faith" by New Order... decent.

Dead By Sunrise (Chester Bennington side project) - Trailer for "Out Of Ashes"

A Deep Look Inside Dead By Sunrise's "Out of Ashes"



This is the long awaited side project from Chester Bennington (of Linkin Park) along with members from Orgy and Julien K. Judging by the sound clips in the trailer, this sounds like it's going to be a kick ass album. Album comes out in October.

Lil Wayne, Jay-Z, Kanye: Who Is The Hottest MC In The Game? - News Story | Music, Celebrity, Artist News | MTV News


It's that time of the year again where MTV does their "Top 10 Hottest MC's in the Game." This list is usually frustrating, as it's "Hottest", NOT "Skilled." This year's is no different, with wack nominees including: Soulja Boy, Plies, Gucci Mane and Rick Ross. Click the link to cast your vote... mine went to Jay-Z (I think it's safe to say he's out of retirement.)

Saosin - Warped Tour Interview About Making the New Album

Live from Warped Tour, Chris from Saosin talks about making the new album, including: Working with producers like Butch Walker and John Feldman, the meaning behind "In Search of Solid Ground" and the controversial album covers debacle.

Saosin - Album Artwork... from Old to New

Old Cover:
old

This was the cover they were originally going to go with. But after a huge uproar from the fans, they scrapped it. Take the girl out and it MIGHT have some potential. But I agree with the fans, WTF?!?!


New Cover:

Photobucket

This version is more fitting. Can't wait for the new album... Sept 8th

Here it is, in all its glory. Album drops Sept. 29th

Tracklist coming soon...

Jay-Z and Eminem - Renegade (Live performance for DJ Hero)

Promo for the DJ Hero: Renegade Edition. I wonder how much Activision paid these guys for the endorsement?!?!?!

"And Eminem murdered you, on your own shit."

Jay-Z - The Blueprint 3 (Album Cover)


Jigga's first album cover without himself actually on it. He really is all about the music.

"LOVE" is free for Angels & Airwaves

Valentines Day is the day!... It'll be interesting to see if they can top "I-Empire"... that album was epic!

NEW TAKING BACK SUNDAY ALBUM - JUNE 2ND

"New Again" is the new album. Judging by the title, they're still ashamed of their emo roots. And I thought they re-invented themselves on "Louder Now"... this will be interesting...

Starting a tour soon w/ Anberlin and Envy On The Coast. http://www.takingbacksunday.com/ for dates.
