We Pluggin G.O.O.D Music Like The Blogspot...

OK I seriously dunno how 2 introduce these next cats 2 ya so i'm jus gonna let y'all feel this 4-minute lyrical bombing!!! Who or shall I say WHat (cos dude's a BEAST lol) you jus heard is WAX, one half of Wax & EOM (aka Elements of Music), the L.A/Virginia Hip-Hop Duo that was quite literally formed on Myspace, No Word of a LIE! Any relevant comparisons would do this duo a huge disservice but the similarities with Slug & Ant of Atmosphere are uncanny HOWEVER we're not here 2 talk bout similies... Lets get to the MUSIC mehn... Wax & EOM recently dropped their debut album, 'Liquid Courage' and we've got some cuts for y'all to rock wiv...

Damn mehn! The colossal that you've jus witnessed is called 'Air Timpani' & its f**kin HEAAVVVYYY!!! EOM is sampling an Opera Choir on here if my ears don't fail me & he pulls it off sublimely turning it into a seriously haunting beat that WAX and D Pryde have no choice BUT to spazz all over!

This next track, 'Its All Love', is my fav track off of 'Liquid Courage' & if you're thinkin 'better than "Air Timpani"? Surely Not!', well IMO it is but it's jus my opinion and I could be wrong so you take a listen & tell me whatchu think aight...





What can I say? I'm a sucker for them deep positive lyrics cos true say the world needs more love! Y'all can cop the record here!!! Its definitely got the 'WE PLUG G.O.O.D MUSIC' co-sign...

BUT if by some reason, you're still not convinced by Wax & EOM, asides from the question I wanna ask you which is 'WTF???', I've got another 4-minute musical spectacle for ya but this time it's not on youtube, it's on the album baby!!! It's soo aptly called 'Ridiculous' and it features Raw B & Bakktron from Grilled Lincolns!





Say NO More & No More Said!!! Liquid Courage is one record you definitely need to have in your record collection!!!

I first heard this next dude on his freestyle remix of Gigg's 'Talkin The Hardest' on which he boldly kicks off sayin 'Talk is cheap so f**k talkin the hardest...' & he goes on to say he's 'a G! I got my spot around the clitoris...', I dig the wittiness lol! Although his rhyme skills were quite basic, his one-liners & punchlines were real refreshin! I like his flow & 'similies' style (lol), its reminds me somehow of Fabolous...

Anyway his name is Pepe (pronounced Peppy) & he said it here first that he would be jumpin on D'banj's 'Gbono Felli Felli' jus like M.I & Falz before him and he comes HARD... Check it!





Did you hear homeboi biggin US up on there? Naah seriously didn't ya lol? Lemme jus tell ya! He goes 'I'm pluggin GOOD music like the blogspot...', you jus know I had 2 rep the track lol! And does he not jus give you punch line after punch line lol, although some of em still don't make sense to me (like 'i'm "KU" like "SUDO"? I know its a reference to the numbers game but what does it mean though lol? Colour me thick maybe lol!) & a few of em are playground stuff really ('i'm super like duper'?) but he got me @ 'Money is my chaffeur, you can say I'm cheddar driven!' and then he totally DESTROYS the track with 'I put my dick in your face so you see where I "CUM" from...'!!! OK i'm talkin too much, please jus tell me whatchu think...

Dude also went one further and did a refix of Donaeo's funky house smash 'Party Hard', its called 'Funk You Hard' and Me, I'm a funky house head so I'm already skankin out to this tune and the one-liners & punch lines don't stop either (lol) BUT essentially this one feels like a fun time playin-around-in-the-studio kinda track and on this yeah, where he lacks in ingeniuty, he makes up for with creativity... I'll leave you 2 analyze this cos once I hear my funky riddims, my judgement gets all fuzzy & s**t lol!





COMMENT! COMMENT!! COMMENT!!!

So apparently this next record has been out & about for a couple months now but unfortunately it's not gotten the hype that it deserves! Half of y'all who read this will not have heard or even heard of this track... Its Fr3style... yup 'Freestyle' from the Trybesmen! Remember them? They brought us the 1999 classic album 'L.A.G. Style' which included the NOW cult classic, 'shake bodi' & effectively wrote the blueprint for what alot of Nigerian emcees try & capture in their records today (that hip-hop essence mixed with the cultural heritage, I guess you'd call it Afro Hip-Hop) and guess who he managed 2 get on the track? 2 words... Nappy Boy! Its Fr3style featuring T-Pain & it's called 'Everybody Else'... let's listen...





You know what? I actually like this record which leads me 2 wonder why it's NOT been gettin no love back in naij... I dunno if this has anything to do with the record being shunned or anything but apparently this record has about 1000 different versions of it floatin around in the world! Here's what it was, T-Pain put out the (incomplete) track on the web for emcees to complete with their own verses, as part of his 'Step In The Ring' challenge... well some Twankstar fella won the competition with this one! Personally I prefer Fr3style's version but it's hard to take it as a credible collaboration really... jus my 2pence OR am I being overly critical? WHat do you think???


... And I've got suthin straight outta left field for y'all! Straight OUT I tell ya (lol)! Sooo I was trawling my Myspace lookin for some fresh new sounds cos you know... I love music like that (lol)... I came across this European broda Constantin (producer/singer/song-writer) & I dunno why his sound reminds me a lil of some old skool Jamiroquai but wiv more of an electro feel. He calls his style 'clean cut electro-pop' & he & co-producer Jaz 'Ill Child' Seehra are actively workin on the debut album but he indulged our pestering (lol) wiv this... 'London Girl', enjoy!





I love this song, it has that kinda Daft-Punk/Old Skool David Bowie/Depeche Mode feel to it & i hope you like it BUT if not, PLEASE do let us know!!!

And before I go, we've got some new FREE music from M.E.R.C.U.R.Y (Messenger Expressing Rhymes of Consciousness Unto Revolutionary Youths), Merc for short, Cali's Up & Coming Emcee. He released his debut E.P 'Because I Felt It' last week and its 5 tracks of that Hip-Hop you'll like. My favorite on the E.P is 'New Beginning' & if production on 'Ya Love It' can be tweaked a lil, it has 'SUMMER HIT' written all over it... you can download the whole thing for FREE here.

Until the next time...

Keep it G.O.O.D Music

What do You Call It? G.O.O.D.M.U.S.I.C.

SO I quickly wanna thank you guys for the love you been showin the G.O.O.D Music this last week... well we've got some more stuff we'd love your opinion on... Lets get right into it, shall we???

I heard this next song about three weeks ago here, I dunno how I even came across it (oh I remember now, it was Akon's name on the credits that attracted me to the tuune lol) BUT its been on constant rotation since then! The tune's called 'Shawty' & its on that dude Shank's debut album titled 'King Kong'! What? You dunno who Shank is? You must know 'Julie'!?!? Well get your knowledge up is all I'm sayin lol! Lets jump right in... Production is courtesy Akon (KonVICT Music you already know) & Iloya of Starville Entertainment!!!





I aint gonna lie, this tune is straight FYRE!!! I'm excited from when I hear Akon go 'Konvict... Konvict' lol! Although he jus does the chorus, it's my favorite part of the song & the production? Its that kind that gets you off your seats in the club, in the crib, anywhere really lol!! & Shank handles his BIZ-I-NESS I must say (although that switch up in the 3rd verse? I dunno bout that though! You tell me whatchu think bout it!)

And I reached out to a few G.O.O.D people up @ Starville Ents & they hooked us with Shank's next single off the album. Apparently the video shoot for this comes up in 3 weeks! Its called 'Please Lord' & its produced by Dr. Frabz...





You know how you gotta have one deep track on your album these days? Well this one's it on KING KONG & its my favorite record... let's analyse this! LAS GIDI STAND UP!!!

From the heart of West Africa (YES I said IT! AND WHAT lol), we take a trip up to the heart of London... SOUF EAST baby!!! & From SE15, I bring to you Swift-Le & Bluzey, collectively known as FUTURE HISTORY! The self-proclaimed 'U.K's most innovative duo' hail from Peckham... I know what you're thinkin lol & we're not even gonna lie... Giggs & his SN1 collective have got the whole SOUTH LONDON MUSIC SCENE on lock-down so these guys have definitely got their work cut out for them! One thing we know though is, Swift & Blu are SOOO ready to stand UP & be counted amongst the contenders for the throne! Check this one out off of their latest mixtape 'How It Should Be Done! UK Cuts'... they sample Sway's 'Little Derek' on the track and its aptly called 'Next In Line'.





I dunno bout you lot but this is that feel good music right there!!! BIG shout outs to SHux on the original cut's production... his discography boasts production for Lupe Fiasco (Hi-Definition) & Alesha Dixon (Can I Begin) & Sway again (Saturday Night Hustle) to mention but a few, he's also been musical director for Lily Allen.

... And we've also got the Duo's (Swift-Le & Bluzey) 2008 underground smash, fire girl... Check it!!!





... OK LEt's hear it folks, what's your verdict on Swift & Bluzey???

SO... Sometime last year, when I heard Freshboy Entertainment was handling Teeto C'Mos' management, I had great hopes for the album, even greater hopes than I already had previously lol. You see me, I'm a Teeto fan from longtime, even before he was runner-up on the Channel O/Sprite Emcee Africa freestyle battle competition!!! Well his management sent me his first single a few days ago. It's called 'Oshamo' and it's produced by Tha Suspect and it's catchy as f**k lol! The chorus & hook will surely get you singing along even if you try hard NOT to, I literally catch myself goin 'ki lo de to fin be...'!!! The Beat on this is thumping & it's almost like Tha Suspect is saying 'I dare you NOT to bop your head and move your body to this' but you really jus can't help it, however (& its a relevant objection btw) the lyrics are... well lemme jus letchu listen...





I understand the idea behind the record still. It's the 'fun, humorous club banger' route, I get that but from the 'rapper extraordinaire' that is Mr. Crooked Letter himself??? ANyway you tell me whatchu think...

Teeto C'Mos is a lyrical BEAST which is why when I hear 'Oshamo', which is a good song 4 what it is, I jus feel there's suthin not quite there... SO I went diggin in the crates for some undaground C'Mos joints! If all you've heard from Teeto is 'Oshamo', then consider this a re-introduction & if you were ever in doubt of the kid's ability, well this is a re-awakening... check it!!! This one's called 'Back to School'





JHEEEZ!!! YES you can say that I told ya so!!! This next one is called '66 Bars' and its straight lyrical brilliance aswell...





Those two records were from his underground 12-track mixtape from 5 years ago (maybe 6)! There are tracks on there that are on PAR with any G.O.O.D stuff that's out NOW... All I'm saying is You sleep on Teeto C'Mos @ your own peril!!!

As always do tell us whatchu think about the music... Who're you're feeling? Who you're not??? Its your go...

Peace
