New Music: Graffiti6 – Colours

5 Oct

I came across the band Graffiti6 and was instantly hooked and that was before I discovered who the masterminds behind the kicking music are.  The British pop/rock duo of producer/DJ Tommy D (Jay-Z, Kanye West, Joss Stone, Janet Jackson, Kylie Minogue and wait for it…..Right Said Fred “I’m Too Sexy”) and singer/songwriter Jamie Scott put together an album that was a pleasant surprise and delivers a great soundtrack for the workday, a road trip and just good old hanging around the house.  Check out the single “Stare Into The Sun” from the album Colours below and if you like it, I promise you’ll dig the rest of their music!

Jay-Z – Decoded

22 Sep

This November Jay-Z has his first book Decoded being released and there are items from New York Magazine and The New York Observer this afternoon that divulge some details about it.  Also how cool that he chose one of Andy Warhol’s Rorschach paintings for the cover art.

New Music: Kanye West – Monster ft. Jay-Z, Rick Ross, Nicki Minaj and Justin Vernon

30 Aug

WOW. If you haven’t heard Kanye West’s new track “Monster,” drop what you are doing and take a listen. Not only does Kanye share the spotlight with Jay-Z and Rick Ross but Nicki Minaj might have trumped the three rap rulers and shines on this. The track also features Justin Vernon of Bon Iver.

If Kanye holds up to his promise of releasing a new track every Friday until Christmas we could be in store for some smash hits week after week. Even if Yeezy says things like “My biggest regret in life is that I’ll never get to see myself perform live,” have to admit, dude can make music and we’ll keep listening.
