Spin Cycle: Breton’s “Other People’s Problems”
Has the term “blip-hop” been coined yet? If not then I would like to formally ask for it to be added to Webster’s. Use it in a sentence? Sure. “Breton’s unique blend of hip-hop beats and electronics have created a unique sound that I have dubbed “blip-hop””. That’s as good a definition as any, right? So here we are with Breton’s full-length debut Other People’s Problems, a debut unlike any other in style and originality. Each note and beat has been [...]
Friday Throwback: Nas’ “If I Ruled The World”
Earlier this morning, Big Money posted Nasty Nas’ new single Daughters , which is an ode to the fathers with daughters who are growing up a little too quickly and rebelliously for their tastes. I decided to keep up with the Nas theme for the Friday Throwback. In 1996, the Fugees blew up thanks to the power of the single Killing Me Softly from their sophomore album, The Score.

The Singles Bar: Maroon 5′s “Payphone” feat. Wiz Khalifa
So, um…I kinda don’t want to like the new Maroon 5 song, but I kinda do. The guys are certainly taking advantage of Adam Levine’s success as a mentor on the reality show “The Voice” and have embraced a poppier-than-usual sound for their upcoming fourth album Overexposed, due on June 26th. First single “Payphone” has a pretty immediate hook. I can picture this one all over the radio this spring and summer (and I’m sure the folks at “The Voice” [...]
