Hello everyone, I will be taking a little break and won’t review anything until January 2013. I’m currently working with some friends on creating a local Philadelphia magazine and I need to focus on that for the time being. HAPPER HOLLERDAZ EVRI1.
A$AP Rocky | 1 Train (feat. Kendrick Lamar, Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Danny Brown, Action Bronson, Big K.R.I.T.)
This is the second track to be released from the upcoming LongLiveASAP. Although, I am pretty sure this one was leaked and not released officially. It was on 2dopeboyz, but they have taken it down. Luckily, I have found another blog that had the song available for download. The first track to come off this album, Fuckin’ Problems, I did not like that much. One of the main reasons I didn’t like it was because he had way too many features. And one of those features was Drake, and I HATE Drake. This was also one of the main problems I had with his first mixtape. Almost all of his features I did not like. But this track. THIS TRACK. Is an exception. It has Kendrick Lamar and Danny Brown. Two of my most favorite rappers right now. I have never really listened to Joey Bada$$, Yelawolf, Action Bronson, or Big K.R.I.T.. I’ve heard of them, but just never to listened to them. But after hearing this, I will be most definitely checking all of them out. This is produced by Hit-Boy. He also produced one of my favorite ASAP tracks Goldie. There isn’t a chorus or anything; it’s just an orchestral loop as the beat and each rapper taking their one turn putting in their verse. This is getting me hyped for the release of LongLiveASAP which is out January 15th, 2013.
This track is very very good.
hey thanks! This is awesome!
Hi, I am going to try to do a “Free Music of The Week” kind of thing. Tell me some artists that have free albums. They do not have to be famous or anything. I just need good, free music!

Other Shows
Death Grips: The Money Store
This is Death Grips’ second album, first of two albums released this year, and first and possibly the last album signed to a major label. As soon as that bass comes in and that keyboard samples comes in on Get Got, the very first track, you will get it. The album is abrasive and scary. I feel as though I don’t even need to describe Death Grips anymore because everyone already knows about them. If you are one of the few, please listen and enlighten yourself. You have no choice.
thank you
Cousin Brian: First
This band I would have never stumbled across if it weren’t for the weird stuff that they do. When my friend ordered their EP it came with locks of the band members’ hair. After seeing that, I had to at least listen to them. I fell in love with their sound instantly. It’s punk rock with all clean guitars. Download their album now. Order it on vinyl too!
Perfume Genius: Put Your Back N 2 It
This is the saddest album I’ve heard all year. Perfume Genius plays beautiful, short piano songs. Even though only a few instruments are used, it sounds gigantic. Like a huge orchestra playing with him. Listen to this and sob.
