The New Standard for Music Marketing

Ying Yang Twins | The Official Work

   Well I used to really dig the sounds of Ying Yang’s albums but this album just didn’t sit well for me. Aside from all the useless and worthless time wasted on skits throughout the album, there are at least six of them; the music itself is just plain blah. “Swag” is a so-so song. It’s [...]

Be Yourself. Enough Said.

   Never be afraid to be yourself. A piece of advice I heard a lot growing up, and I think it rings true now more than ever. In today’s society a lot of people try to be liked so much that they will do whatever it takes to fit in, even if it means changing themselves [...]

One of the brightest and budding stars in Los Angeles and his peers seem to agree as he was nominated and took home the Los Angeles award for best male vocalist of the year. That talent is shown on this truly emotional and passionate journey through the twelve songs he has compiled on this album. [...]

The Academy Is… Fast Times At Barrington High

I don’t even know where to begin with this CD. I do know this much,, you can chalk up another instant classic, quite even a platinum record, for Fueled By Ramen. This band is in dire need of a pat on the back for putting out quite possibly the hottest album of the summer jam [...]

Shwayze | Self-Titled

 This hip hopper has a pretty unique style and vibe to him.  The brilliant addition of Cisco singing alongside him only  heightens the pure replay value. The topics he speaks on  are pretty broad ranging from taking pictures “Polaroid”  click click, the demise of a musical legend “James Brown Is  Dead” and many people’s favorite [...]

Capital Lights | This is an Outrage!

This is one of the most energized CD’s I randomly took a chance on and needless to say I’m pretty glad I did. The tempo is speedy from start to finish and the lyrics are so captivating and simple that you’re instantly singing along after the first listen. They start the album off with a [...]

Outasight | Radio New York

  This cat has skills. He brings in Holley Monelle to play host on the album, who does a fantastic job on the intro and throughout the album at numerous other times. After the intro by Holley he dives into “Radio, Radio”. The beat is hypnotic and crawls while he slings some fierce rhymes such as [...]
