Who needs programs and plugins and all that? This guy’s got dubstep down with just two turntables and a fader. I was impressed with this video about 23 seconds in. Just look at how fast that guys hand moves on the fader. This is JFB testing out some new turntables. I think he’s worn out the warranty on them. Hope
Read moreI don’t get MtvU at my house, but I’ve seen the channel twice within the last two weeks. Both times, I’ve seen this video played. Did you know MtvU plays videos? Well they do. That’s apparently where the music videos went. Anyway, Kid Rock is on a hip hop song again. While I really like how it came out, I
Read moreI’ve watched Pizzle grow from his Pelicular mixtape to this point, and it’s amazing to see the progress he’s made. His “Fame in Vain” album was one of my favorite releases of last year, and this mixtape picks up right where that one left off, The production is solid all the way through, and it’s cool to see him collaborate
Read moreLet me tell you a little bit about my night Friday. I had no plans of being on the ice at the Dropkick Murphys show after the Milwaukee Admirals game, but we luckily scored a few on ice passes for cheaper than face value. The show was pretty good, minus the security that the Murphys ordered out of the pit,
Read moreIt’s really cool to get music submissions from places where nobody really looks for music. “Iana” is a tape from CJP, a new artist from Skokie, Illinois. I had no idea what to expect when I put this tape on this morning, but I’m impressed with CJP’s style. This is his first release, but you can’t tell that from the
Read moreIf you take the Weeknd, put it in a blender with Sango, and put Vonny del Fresco, you get “Gone”, the newest track from VDF. I’m a fan of everything that him and Dee Phr3sh! are doing at such a young age. It seems like there’s a lot of young talent jumping leaps and bounds with every track they release,
Read moreYungn sent me a new video today, this time with a much different message than the last Fly Division video that I saw. The message is simple: Stop the violence. You can’t argue with that, right? Please go find out about the efforts being made in your community to create a peaceful society. If you can’t find one, start one.
Read moreGerald Walker and Xavier Ruffin teamed up to present another very impressive music video that came out today. Xavier’s style is crazy, as seen in their previous videos together. This one is no exception. Check it out:
Read moreI’m not really sure how, but I stumbled across these guy a few days ago on Soundcloud. Now I’m hooked on them. There’s only three songs that I know of. I’ve done a little bit of digging (albeit not a whole lot) but I can’t find any more of their music. Regardless, it’s amazing that they’ve drawn their following, over
Read moreJay Alexzander is back with a song about hearts on Valentine’s Day. Clever, isn’t it? Anyway, Jay adds his vocals to a nice, ambient sounding beat. Until you hear his verse come in, you expect Drake to show up or something. Jay gives this sound a little different approach though, with a catchy hook and some nice lyricism, including an
Read moreI received more new music out of Chicago last night, this time courtesy of R.i.C., who was previously mentioned on here for his “Knockout” track with C Money of So Klean/Super Fresh Bros. This time, R.i.C. brings along Nicole Eboni for “Prove I Love You”, a bass heavy track with a real laid back feel to it. It’s really cool
Read morePhoto credit: George Taylor, via MilwaukeeRockPosters.com Wow. It feels weird to write this, mainly because I never knew Richard personally. But I feel like I just have to say something about him. Before I continue on, let me give everyone a brief backstory of how I learned who Richard LaValliere was: If you know some of Milwaukee’s music history, chances
Read moreMy, oh my. Super Fresh Bros., AKA C Money and Nate The Great of So Klean, released the first single off of their “Level One” album. From the second I hit play on this track, I was amazed at how far they’ve come from the first time that I heard them. I definitely wanna hear the whole album. Click the
Read moreGerald Walker and Sledgren are working on his next project, “Believers Never Die”. He’s consistently smooth with every verse, and I’m a big fan of the vocals on his hooks. He’s always got these catchy hooks, and the double up vocals are as perfect as anybody could make them. Be on the look out for “Believers Never Die”, coming soon.
Read moreOzone Magazine added to the “Shit (people) Say” trend on YouTube yesterday, giving us “Shit Rappers Say”. I know it’s a bit lengthy, but rather funny, and very true. Oh, did I mention Paul Wall, Slim Thug, and Killer Mike in it? Because it does. You’ll grimace when you see your favorite rapper on TV after seeing this video. On
Read moreFly Division sent over this video from Rickey Rich today, and I have to admit I’m impressed with the editing. I like seeing a high quality product, and it’s clear that a lot of effort went into this video from a production standpoint. This is also admittedly the first I’ve heard from the Fly Division camp. Good work none the
Read moreSo… I really don’t need to post this. The Cranberry Show doesn’t need my help spreading this track around. This album was released today on DonutsAndMilk.com and DJBooth.net, which are both substantially bigger blogs than mine. But I just want you to hear this album. If you don’t download or listen to anything else that I write about, at least
