Re:Generation is a Documentary that I have been excited to see for quite some time now. Its about the recording process of 5 djs: DJ Premiere, Pretty Lights, Skrillex, Mark Ronson, and the Chrystal Method
I posted on our Facebook Page asking for your suggestions on what my Banger of the Week should be and thanks to Stephanie and Ian we have 2 Bangers this week.
It's obvious that if you go through my past Bangers, I'm a fan of B.o.B. He's got words and skills that hopefully shake the game into taking a long hard look in the mirror to see what it's become, then wonder why it's wearing snowboarding boots as shoes
Swizz hits hard every time. For "Street Knock" Swizzy gets together with A$AP Rocky for a track that stays low and hits the subs hard. A track to be listened to on 11. I'll play this track every day this week just after 3pm so don't miss it
Wiz is a bit hit or miss with me. On "Work Hard, Play Hard" Mr. Khalifa brings a smooth hooky story of enjoying the fruits of his hard. Listen for the track at 3:05pm, or listen for it below.
July 17th Nas will release his first studio album in 5 years, titled "Life is Good". Barring child support payments of astronomical figures, down to $20,000 a month from the original $50,000, life must be pretty grand for "The Don" as he lives the life in his new video.
I love mixtapes. Finding new artists and being able to listen to some of their material before committing to an album purchase. The problem is there is a ton crap to sift through to find the stuff that is good, true, hip-hop. The type of music that tells a story from an artist that reveals his life, his way of thinking, his style, his soul through a body of music aka "Real Music". Through all the swag talk about living the lavish life of a rap superstar or the glorified use of violence, occasionally, you find those artists who have something that real people can feel. Jon Connor is one of those artists.
