We’ve all seen Denku freestyle. If you haven’t, just look down a few posts. You’ll be impressed. I, for one, have been excited to see what he would put together as a recorded project, and he didn’t disappoint. I personally think Denku could’ve just freestyled like 12 times in one day and put it out as a mixtape if he
Read moreDenku is back at it, once again inside the Miramar… sort of. He performed at Stage Right (adjacent to the Miramar) as part of the Border Clash series, and well, this happened. Watch and try to keep up:
Read moreSpeak Easy’s new mixtape, “I’m Just Sayin” is the latest addition to Uni-Fi Records catalog of Milwaukee music. This one has the classic Uni-Fi feel to it throughout, featuring production from several well known local producers. The tape is a prelude to Speak’s full length album, which will be out on Uni-Fi- Records later this year. Check it out here,
Read moreR.I.C. and C-Money just released this new track tonight, and my goodness it is worth the listen/download. C-Money and Nate The Great are currently working on the next Super Fresh Bros. mixtape, and if his verse is a preview of what’s in store, everybody better get ready to download that tape. I’ve listened to this three times just to hear
Read moreSleigh Bells just released their second new song off of their new album, “Reign Of Terror”. The first, unbeknownst to me, was released in December. Both carry Sleigh Bells’ signature sound, though. Heavy guitars, mixed with relentless beats. All of this madness is covered up by Alexis Krauss’ innocently sweet voice over the top. Sleigh Bells definitely know how to
Read moreJ.R. Moon landed on my radar within the last year when I saw him perform at UWM. He has a natural flow that reminds me of a younger version of Young Focus from the Cranberry Show. The “Blastoff!” EP is a diverse tape, in the sense that the feel of each track is different, but it all works together, somehow.
Read moreMan, it seems like there’s more new music from the whole Aviator/DDH camp daily. They should just make mixtapes with the title being that day’s date, and the cover could be them holding that day’s Journal Sentinel. Anyway, check out this set from Tion Fresco. I almost feel like this would be great on an old 45. “Lyric Torture” as
Read moreWell, it’s late at night. And late at night means you need some smooth music. This track is definitely smooth. Fresh Prince sent me this a few days ago and I’ve finally gotten the chance to give it a listen. The sample is of a Tevin Campbell song. Just out and out smooth. I’m really interested to hear more from
Read moreIf you’ve been following this blog for a while, you’ve heard of Cezar. Just about every post I’ve had about his music has included that his debut mixtape, “Roman Roulette” was in the works. I think just about every post has mentioned that he sounds hungry in his music as well. This tape is more of the same, in a
Read moreWell, if you’re in Milwaukee, and you’ve looked out the window, or checked Facebook, you know it’s snowing. So, why not check out a live set from Rockzsolid? It’s like a live concert just for you. All of the tracks are from RockzSolid’s “For The Love” mixtape, which came out around a month ago. You should listen to it, especially
Read moreNathan Williams of Wavves covered the Misfits’ “Hybrid Moments” last night, and put it on Twitter as “an ode to the band”. I’m not sure if I like it, but I think it’s worth sharing. It’s a weird, poppy version of a Misfits song. Like, if The Misfits went to the beach and brought along a tape recorder or something.
Read moreI got a formal press kit (which is always awesome to receive) from Cinco today. To be honest, I had never heard of him. After some research, though, I have to say that for the most part, he’s doing things right. He has a good website, musically sounds on point, and he works with a pretty popular group of people.
Read moreI’ve been getting some music sent to me from New York recently, and I’m pretty impressed from what I’ve heard. The first track is by Jae Brinks, the “F.E.M.A. Freestyle”. This track is ready for your car’s sound system, and that’s saying something considering I drive a ’96 Oldsmobile. The flow reminds me of Childish Gambino, but that’s definitely not
Read moreThere’s a new generation of young kids in Milwaukee that are constantly putting out new music. It seems like every week or two I find a new track from Tion Fresco. This latest installment is the video for “Spazzin” over Nicki Minaj’s “Roman’s Revenge” beat. It’s clear that these kids aren’t playing around. It’s also weird for me to say
Read moreI really don’t have any rhyme or reason for posting this video. Fun. are becoming the next in a long line of Fueled by Ramen stars that seem to just appear everywhere. I’ve just been obsessed with this song and video the last few days. I really want to do a video like this. You’ll come to find that I
Read moreNever ones to dissapoint, Dee Phr3sh! & Vonny Del Fresco keep their momentum rolling from an impressive 2011 into “Sunwalking”, their first track of 2012. It almost seems like you could put on any beat, at any time, and these two could spaz out over it. That’s impressive to me. Experience how on point everything is with “Sunwalking”: http://soundcloud.com/thoseeurokids/dee-phr3sh-sunwalking-feat
Read moreYikes. Zach Williams & Jay Alexzander sent me this new track this week, and it just became available for everyone to listen to yesterday. You need to check out “Suicide” and “Genocide”. “Suicide”, the newest track, is a follow-up to “Genocide” but both MCs are on point on both tracks. The production is pretty nice on “Suicide” as well. I
