David Guetta feat Miguel - Raise Your Hands

Continuing his assault on American pop music, D Guetta uses up and coming R&B star Miguel as a sidekick for yet another upbeat dance track. Before we get to the track, if you're not familiar with @MIGMONEY, you need to check out his track with @JColeNC All I Want Is You. That track was among the most loved tracks by Hip Hop fans that never got the dap that it deserved. Below is a recent performance of the track on Jimmy Kimmel...

Real smooth R&B voice, my advice is heads up especially as Miguel keeps ending up on these Artists to Watch lists of 2011.

The sound of the track below doesn't deviate much from the mean that has become the multi million dollar property currently owned by David Guetta's upbeat style of any sort of music that can be construed as Pop. Don't get it twisted either, this track will be released by @davidguetta, as well it should since it reflects his style more than Miguel's. It's all semantics anyways, call a spade a spade and this is a hype track...

Buzz Track: Avery Storm feat Nelly - Supermodel

Wait what? You haven't heard of Ralph di Stasio? Yea you may recognize his stage name, Avery Storm, which packs a little more notoriety as he's been rubbing shoulders with the likes of Nelly, Diddy, Rick Ross, Wale to name a few. Below you'll find his newest single featuring @nelly_mo off his upcoming album Shotgun Love, due out in 2011.

What's cool about @Averystorm's story is that (for all intensive purposes) it started in 2001, when he got scooped up by Timbo's Beat Club records. Being called the next James Dean by Jimmy Iovine is no small compliment and it's a damn shame creative differences got in the way of him putting out an Interscope album that would have probably been blessed by a few @timbaland007 records. No sense dwelling on the what ifs though, as Avery landed at the Nelly led Deerty Ent and has flourished a bit in a cameo role on more than a few high profile tracks.

The time for judgment is coming soon for Avery in the form of a debut record. In my eye's he's 1 for 1 on the singles as he takes to the club for a bouncy, radio hit, heat rock that will implore more than a few women to treat their rear ends like they're made of Jell-O. The voice recognition of Nelly will only serve to drive up the ceiling of this track, which has potential to crack the tenuous airwaves that have become contemporary radio.

I think he sounds quite a bit like Mikey Posner, but to each their own, it's a good look, check it...

"No Wheels, the Girls Wanna Kick it Where the Planes Be"

The track below originally appeared as a snippet on Wiz Khalifa's Flight School mixtape that went Gold on datpiff.com with over 100,000 downloads. The finished version is well worth the wait as @REALWIZKHALIFA coasts over an upbeat, feel good anthem. Like a lot of other artists, he's not afraid to add a little harmony, which gives the track some radio potential, but in general it's smooth, laid back head nod worthy effort from the pilot of paper planes.

Like @liltunechi once quoted, in 2010 Taylor Gang were in apartments, but in 2011 they'll be in the building. It'll have you singin' "I can teach you to fllly!", give it a look...

Skillz 2010 Rap Up

Ever since 2002, VA's own Skillz has carved his niche as the Hip Hop historian, annually weaving together a years worth of events and noteworthy happenings into one non-stop track. It's like clockwork, every year at the end of December, his version of notable events in the months that have led up to the end of the year are crafted into one cohesive thought with commentary thrown in here and there. If you're wondering what previous years' Rap Ups have sounded like, here are links to all previous years: 2002, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009.

Below are the lyrics to 2010's version and it's every bit as witty and entertaining as past years. My favorites are the commentary on the Lebron situation and the mentioning of Angry Birds...definitely the last pop culture item I would have expected to hear on wax, but as an Angry Bird addict myself, I can appreciate. Give @skillzva a follow for the hard work he put in and support him on iTunes while you're at it...

"Aight, it’s time to get in
now where should I begin?
to run back the ratchetness to 2010
Profound Sounds, ya’ll cut the track up
I’ma get it in, this the 2010 Rap Up!

Now Waka Flocka went hard and got shot in the paint
Kelis went a little harder, took Nas to the bank
all that bread on the monthly, son that’s crazy
did I mention the fact she only had one baby?
Then the quake hit Haiti and left us in awe
so pray for them and pray you never see the things they saw
We Are The World got made just to donate bucks
no “I” in we though, I just think we f-cked that up
Sade came back and blessed the world with a gift
John Mayer went there and let the N-word slip
and Yung Berg got robbed by his peers
it’s not ’09 though, he just seems to do that every year
50 Cent tried to take out Ross
look like it ain’t work Fif, you might have to take that loss
Rozay, he had some heat
had everybody from the ‘burbs thinking they was Big Meech
Ross had a good year, that’s fact
But him bagging Stacey Dash?
Mmm, I don’t know ’bout that
now I might sound thirsty
but Erykah Badu’s video? Wooh, Lord have mercy
and I don’t mean to sound foul
but if I could hit that, I’d dress up like a clown right now
so don’t tempt me
and nobody had one
but we was rapping ’bout Beamer, Benz and Bentleys
Mel Gibson, spazzed out for real
idiots of the year? BP, for the oil spill
and Wayne went to jail for his gat
they said he had a music player, where he hide that at?
no matter where you looked, it was hard to miss Drake
but easy to miss 50 when he lost that weight
LeBron made a decision, that move was bold
but he had to take the heat once the Heat got cold
Hey Cleveland, I’ll holler
‘Bron’s the reason a hot dog in Cleveland will cost ya 84 dollars
the iPhone prototype, that got jacked
shout to rappers that was dumb enough to touch Kat Stacks
I know what you thinking kid
And no, I didn’t touch her, but I know a lot of rappers that did
Kanye had Twitter going nuts
Man y’all funny, since when you cared about the World Cup?
Facebook, talk of the town
And don’t lie, you know you was crying right along with Chris Brown
but in the new year, what I don’t wanna see
is Montana Fishburne or a movie in 3D
and Swizz wifed Alicia Keys
the volcano cloud had me and Jazzy Jeff stuck overseas
and rappers, they weren’t exciting
but I’d hate to see your parents if you came out looking like 50 Tyson
and Antoine Dodson, that was that was just trife
with all that “Hide ya kids and hide ya wife”
man, the industry sucks
cause we started off laughing at both of them
but now they laughing at us
I’m just asking
how Lady Gaga can wear some raw meat?
but y’all call that fashion
and Fantasia, she went the suicide route
oh, you gon kill yourself? Before your album come out?
Lil Wayne came home like jail was a fad
they sold us big iPhones and they called ‘em iPad’s
and we all got barraged
by the many faces and many voices of Nicki Minaj
old girl got it in
and before the year was over she was already beefing with Kim
Lindsay Lohan, behind bars
I guess I wasn’t supposed to notice that a dancer won Dancing With the Stars
The Census came tryna get the count right
and Paris Hilton, well she got caught with the white
and Petey Pablo need a reverend
Dawg, a gun? in an airport? on 9/11?
Obama still tryna do his thing
they caught T.I. with three pills and sent him back to the bing
Miley Cyrus had us at a loss for words
a lot of y’all got addicted to Angry Birds
the miners got freed live on TV
y’all coulda gave ‘em something, maybe a Double Down from KFC
YouTube views, that could get ya some bread
ask that lil white boy with the real big head
Usher came back, and still claiming king
he signed Justin Bieber though, can you say cha-ching?
Willow whipped her hair, and hit the perfect score
rather see hers than anybody on Jersey Shore
Republicans, ha, they still tripping
A Wikileak? nah, where I’m from man, we call that snitching
Raz B and Chris Brown they had some words
I got three for Raz B – You got served!
I hear a lot of Rap Ups getting made for real
ehhh, he’s all right, but he’s not Skillz
with that being said, I send a R.I.P
to Guru, Gary Coleman and Miss Teena Marie
Apache, Eyedea, and Lena Horne the star
Huddy Combs, Hideo, and Cool DJ Law
May they all rest in heaven
the Rap Up is wrapped up
I’ll catch y’all in 2011"

Buzz Track: Edward Maya feat Vika Jigulina - Desert Rain

As I find myself making a conscious effort to expand both the music I listen to and the music I feature on the blog, I'm finding more and more really good electronic music. Whether it be Ratatat, LCD Soundsystem, Deadmau5, Crookers, or my new curiosity with Crystal Castles, the genre is chalked full of great music that I'm only beginning to discover. I'm well aware that most of the acts I just mentioned have been around for a while, but that doesn't mean you're well versed in all of their material, so you may be in the same boat in regarding them as "new acts". Apologies to those Hip Hop fans who are probably wondering why the hell I advertise as a Hip Hop blog and am consistently posting non-Hip Hop music. Hopefully you all are finding ways to sample and open your mind to new stuff like I am since I too was mostly a hardcore Hip Hop fan prior to liking a lot of this "other stuff" I'm posting.

With all that being said, enter Edward Maya, who recently made a splash on the US music scene with his single Stereo Love. Press play below if you need a refresher, but it's that electro, mid-tempo dance track with the accordion that sounds really unique when put on the contemporary radio backdrop.

Certified platinum single in Spain, Canada, Denmark, Germany, Italy and Switzerland...not a bad way to explode onto the music scene for the 24 year old Romanian musician from Bucharest who is in his last year at the Bucharest Conservatory.

I can officially say that he's the first artist from Romania I've opened put on blast through my writing and let's be honest, when you are matched up with an uber talented and more than a little good looking Russian born producer/singer Vika Jigulina, you're going to get attention. Feel free to chalk up the track below as another platinum worthy in Europe and radio worthy in the US, as @edwardmaya again uses his unique accordion samples to weave an almost Irish jig sounding electro/pop/dance anthem. I'm tellin you, you though the accordion was addicting in Stereo Love, it's just as catchy and even more upbeat on Desert Rain. You be the judge...

Sam Tsui & Christina Grimmie - Just a Dream (Nelly Cover)

Having gotten now over 7.5 million views, you could call these two a mini-YouTube sensation with their cover of Nelly's hit Just a Dream. For being a "viral" video, it's pretty well put together with the screen sectioned in the multiple windows with both @samueltsui and @therealgrimmie providing the vocals with the keys and beat sample also pictured.

It's a toss up between Christina and Sam as to who has gained the most notoriety on the internet, but both have become extremely successful in their own right. It must be nice to be Sam Tsui, living large as an undergrad at Yale as well as a YouTube sensation with over 24,000 twitter followers. Not too bad, but Christina is listed at the 51st most famous musician on the internet at the age of 16, with multiple hundred thousand view YouTube covers and over 30,000 Twitter followers. Both insanely talented and adept at using the internet as a vehicle for gaining exposure, check out their duet below...

ESPN Bowl Week Anthem B.O.B. - I Am the Champion

Leave it to Bobby Ray to flip an average song (by his standards) into a ESPN Bowl Week anthem, one that has been played and will continued to get played on millions of televisions as everyone tunes in to watch the various upcoming meaningful bowl games. In case you haven't watched the Big Ten go 2-0 so far despite being the underdog in both games any of the less meaningful bowl games and are waiting for the heavyweight match ups coming this weekend, below is the promo commercial that has been constantly airing with B.O.B. performing amidst a college marching band backdrop...


Love the line after the 2 minute mark, "I wake up and piss excellence...ALLL DAY!"...probably won't hear that line on ESPN though.

If you're thinking to yourself man this track sounds really familiar even though it wasn't featured on his debut release, then you probably heard it on his May 25th mixtape (song 2) or off the 2010 NBA Live game or mixtape (track 11). Recycling tracks is not usually a good thing for artists to do, but when you've appreciated so much recognizability wise in a year, you can come out of the woodwork with "new tracks" that haven't made it to the masses, but aren't really new. It's all part of the grind to make money in a Hip Hop music market that has become so saturated with competition that you don't see many artists getting ESPN style endorsements like the one @bobatl got with his commercial. As a supporter of his mixtapes and music leading up to him "making it big" and permeating pop culture, it's cool to see him now making grown up $$$ now that other doors have opened for him due to the success of his debut album.

I know you're already sick of the track below and will probably hate it by the end of this weekend, but in case you wanted a little back story on it and the chance to play it outside of watching TV, feel free and sample below or cop it on iTunes...#RIAALikesiTunesLinksBetterForSomeReason...

No Hands R&B and Acoustic Covers

Sticking with the demo/cover vibe this week with a Jackie Boyz cover of Wacka Flocka's No Hands. The platinum singer/songwriter duo of Steven and Carlos Battey have recently been recognized for penning recent hits like Madonna feat Lil Wayne - Revolver, Flo Rida - Sugar and Justin Bieber feat Sean Kingston - Eenie Meenie. The ghostwriters never get any love, so it's up to people who care way to much about the nuts and bolts of music to put the talented people like @jackieboyz on blast who did much of the hard work that goes into making successful, quality music. The cover below is off their 585 Days Later Mixtape duo out in 2011 and it's featuring fellow demo singer @blkrangratozzio, check it...

Bonus: Check out the Danny Vola's (@DANNYVOLA) acoustic version of No Hands, which stands out like a sore thumb because you don't see too many trap anthems getting the acoustic treatment. A little iffy on the N word usage, but his version provides a different sound to an already hot track and you can only get so angry over him repeating the original words...

James Fauntleroy - Fire Bomb (Rihanna demo)

Been a while since I've given some behind the scenes love on a demo track, so when James Fauntleroy's demo of @RIHANNA's track Fire Bomb (off her 2009 album Rated R) surfaced, I felt inclined to post it. The track was never considered for a single but it was co-written by @fauntleroy and the producer of the track Brian Kennedy (@bkmusik). Before you listen to the demo, check out what Rihanna did with the final version that was released on her album...

Depending on the quality of the demo, the final version can sound completely different both lyrics wise and vocally. When not much changes between the demo and final version that's a testament to how well the demo singer executed their rendition, which is why James deserves some dap for setting the tone. He's got an obvious knack for writing and his ability to demo isn't too bad either, so you should hear his name like an offensive coordinator gets a post game shout out after a win.

Continuing the NFL topic, sweet game tonight Eagles, way to lay an egg as two touchdown favorites...

"Who Rock Grooves and Make Moves With All the Mamis?"

Man this track is grimier than than lime scale coating the bottom of your sink. The Big Poppa sample by @bannon916 isn't too over the top or gratuitous and combined with the scratches by @statikselekt add to the raw lyricism being sprayed all over the track from two of the best young talents in the game @diggy_simmons and @macmiller. Supposedly off of @ITSTHECONS new mixtape Movies On Demand 2 due out in 2011, the track provides more evidence of why Diggy Simmons is an absolute star with lines like:

“I can tell that you’re mad because you getting hostile,
Cause I got my own business and I ain’t finished high school”

"I ain't tryna be like Tiger gettin' avoided by sponsors,
I'm DOPE!
Not the kind you put in your nostrils
And y’all got Twitter followers, but I got apostles”

Not to take away from Consequence who has been around for more than a few mixtapes and a studio album with GOOD Music and high profile collaborations with Kanye or Wiz Khalifa protege, Mac Miller, who is only now starting to get high profile collab oportunities, but the Nephew of Russell and Son of Rev Run is the real deal Holyfield.

If you haven't already, please do give Diggy's new mixtape Past Present Future hosted by DJ Premier. Yea you don't see DJ heavyweights like Primo hosting mixtapes for just anyone, so the cat's pretty much outta the bag on the limitless ceiling of young Diggy. Give the boom bap, hubris filled, display of lyrical boasting a listen...

Buzz Track: Chipmunk feat Chris Brown - Champion

In case you ain know, Hip Hop does exist in the UK...in fact it's starting to garner a lot more attention from fellow artists on US soil. From all the Dizzee Rascal references Drake makes, to Kanye/Lloyd Banks featuring Sway DeSafo and Giggs (on the Start it Up remix, it's clear that there's a bunch of talent that most Hip Hop fans in the US haven't been introduced to. Other than the lack of US exposure, differences in accent and style, with movements like Grime, UK Hip Hop is just as enticing and some would argue refreshing in comparison to US Hip Hop, which tends to be more commercial and (until lately) marked by artists with borrowed creativity and simply put, retarded lyrics.

You can add to that list Chipmunk, who recruited @CHRISBROWN on his new single Champion from his upcoming album Transition due out in 2011. The track below is hella catchy an extremely radio friendly, especially with CB's flawless and slightly uplifting hook. I enjoy the British accent from Chipmunk, who at the age of 20 has already risen to the top of UK Hip Hop the same way any US Hip Hop artist would, by selling mixtapes like League of My Own. He's definitely an artist you want to keep an eye out for as UK Hip Hop starts to attract more attention worldwide through US collaborations. This week the video for the single dropped, give it a look...

Dreaming of the Coast of Carolina

It's that time of year where every music critic is getting high on their own end-of-the-year lists, meticulously fretting over rankings and determining whose album provided the most meaning over these last 12 months.

Well, not here at the Indie-corner folks, I stick to the facts.

You want to know which songs created the most lasting impact on you?? Head straight to your iTunes Top 25 (@iTunes_Top_25) most played songs list. Now this isn't the end-all be-all, but it provides a mighty honest measure of which songs meant the most to you.

In looking at my list, there are only a handful of surprises. Apparently I love Drake way more than I care to admit to my hipster friends, and the Beach Boys, Pet Sounds still leaves me in awe, 44 years after it's release. (Holy crap! It's been 44 years already??)

But on to the key players, where 3 songs stood out head and shoulders above the rest.

My most played song of the year goes to Telekinesis, whose Coast of Carolina provided one of the single strongest knockout punches I've ever experienced with a debut single. Michael Benjamin Lerner magically crafts this hit, playing almost every instrument on the record. When they play live, he actually heads the drums and still sings lead vocals, an impressive feat that I haven't seen replicated in quite some time.

Telekinesis - Coast of Carolina

Number 2 on this list belongs to Bombay Bicycle Club (@bombaybicycle), with their hit Always Like This. These young men from Britain seamlessly create emotion-driven indie pop. This song for instance, though catchy and melodically upbeat, details an unrequited love, where what he has to offer his leading lady will never be enough.

Bombay Bicycle Club - Always Like This

And 3rd place goes to the boys from Austrailia, Temper Trap (@thetempertrap), with their song, Sweet Disposition. It was prominently featured in the film, 500 Days of Summer, so you might have heard of it. Well written, and catchy as hell, Doug Mandagi's vocals beg you to sing along, and I always abide.

So there it is folks. The 3 songs that I was most obsessed with in 2010; I hope they captivate you like they did me.

Real Players Make Love Mentally

"That’s how this lovin' be, love it when she under me

She say that she celibate, I penetrate her mentally"

In what can only be described as a unique way to respectfully go about getting with a girl, Wale preaches how it can be just as cool to go about getting to know a girl before thing turn physical. Sure the kind gentleman talk still eminently leads to the same endgame, but there's a degree of respectability that needs to be recognized by @WALE's attempt to appreciate the value of sex by attaching a cerebral element to the chase. One thing I've learned when listening to many of Wale's songs is that he must have had and continue to have a strong mother figure and/or sister that has taught him respect women. If you're not sure what I mean, give a listen to Ambitious Girl...

I wouldn't call it an abstinence anthem, but the picture being painted is soaked in wisdom as he offers more than a few nuggets of advice when he speaks on the never-ending battle between temptation and doing what's best in the long run....

"But I’ma wait it out I’m bout to see that drought
Cuz if I hit it now these feelings take a different route
So, I’m on some 40 days and night sh**
Feeling like it’s Ramadan and I just need a bite quick
Tryna get inside your mind without that night shift
So I’ma be aight for the night with a goodbye kiss"

What's cool to me is the candid, realistic way Wale goes about describing the rationalization struggle in a man's mind as he tries to "Find His Way" in deciding whether to hit the gas pedal or slow play it out of confidence, knowing it'll be better in the long run to wait. It's funny too how sometimes men will end up mentally thinking they took the high road out to justify getting denied because 1) the girl wasn't feelin' him or 2) you were too scared to make a more. Like on some, "Yea it's prolly a good idea to take it slow, I mean I coulda smashed shorty if I wanted" knowing damn well your ass got shot down in some way shape or form and you woulda been ankle deep in that woohoo rushin' to the back of line for seconds had you even been given a glimpse of hope that smackin' bellies would occur. Wale said it best...

"We getting closer every moment, I’ve been waiting for it
Ain’t saying I don’t need it, if you gave it I would take it
Have you shaken I would break you off
Without a second thought, but you got my respect is all
And I can show you all this love without a bit of sex involved"

With this group of intelligent new Hip Hop artists has come with a trend for treating women with more respect and for that, they should get dap. It used to be uncool to treat a lady like anything but a bitch, but Hip Hop has started to evolve and evolve in the right direction.

Raise a glass for the women in your life and treat 'em right on Christmas...#OrSantaAintGonnaBringYourAssNothin

Swizz Beatz Brings California Love to NYC

Kanye brought us G.O.O.D. Fridays and now @therealswizzz is bringin' the heat every Monday with Monster Mondays. Truth be told I actually like this week's track a little better because that @lexusluger beat goes hard on Ace Hood's new track Hustle Hard, but this track has a little more first listen familiarity as it Swizz borrowed (debatably) the most recognizable piano sample in Hip Hop history. Peep the original Pac below...

That song will never get old...#Truth. I'd say when it comes to the production on the new track, I can respect what Swizzy did with the familiarity of the piano sample, but unfortunately the verses come up way short as Maino and Jim Jones leave a lot to be desired. Can't hate too much though, both Jada and Captain YOAWA brought it on their verses and did their part to carry their sub-par brethren on the track. Interesting track with potential to get more than a few heads nodding, especially in the Five Boroughs...

The Lonely Island Are Back...And Still Not Holding Back

In case you've been living under a rock and haven't seen the hilarious videos or songs that The Lonely Island have done in the past couple years, rest assured you're going to get another dose in 2011 in the form of their second studio album The Best Damn Thing Ever. The trio of Akiva Schaffer, Jorma Taccone, and Andy Samberg who make up Lonely Island have never been bashful with their lyrics on songs, but always seem to not sound stupid over Hip Hop beats with their own brand of silly, but creatively vulgar humor. If you're in need of a good Monday laugh and a quick recap of previous songs, I'd suggest doing a quick lap through their previous videos while they're on your mind with I'm on a Boat, Jizz in my Pants, Motherlover, Lazy Sunday, Dick in a Box and Like a Boss.

This time instead of T-Pain or Justin Timberlake, they enlist Akon on their new single to deliver a joyous hook on I Just Had Sex. As usual, the video makes the song even better, especially at the end when they get the whole choir of people involved. Viewer discretion advised, don't take the song too seriously...please...it's funny...

Lucky for you, the song just dropped on iTunes if you wanna cop it and show some support to their comedic movement.

"They Wondering How I Do My Thang 2 Words, Taylor Gang"

I really like it when artists who have a really successful single add a new verse to the remix. Seems like nowadays when a single is remixed, everyone and their mother get on the track and it ends up being 5-6 mins in length and the original artist usually plugs in their verse from the original, which is weak. Enter @REALWIZKHALIFA who kept it simple with a couple friends on the G mix to Black and Yellow, while adding a fresh new verse. Was interesting how @therealjuicyj of Three Six Mafia sounded on the track too because it isn't a beat you'd usually hear him on. At first I wasn't a fan because he sounded so out of place, but after a few more listens, I'm now a big fan of it because it sounds so unlike what you'd usually hear him rap over. 

Give it a listen and while you're at it check out video from Wiz Khalifa's new track he debuted at home in Pittsburgh this week titled Taylor Gang prod by Lex Luger...
