Dumb lyrics aside, Mike Posner is really talented. After getting a preview on his mixtape, we now have the full version of his first single, “Looks Like Sex.” I gotta give him credit for his production as well as his vocals, he has a very unique sound, and this song was made to be a radio hit. Check it out.

Off of Justice’s latest album, “Ohio,” is full of Beatlesque “Gnik Nus,” vocals and an addictive electronic beat. Lupe then sampled the beat for his new mixtape, previously posted on AOS, in which he raps about his favorite 90’s urban drama movies. Check out both below. But first check out this bad ass picture of the group, Justice. Yeah thats right, looks like these dudes got a great deal on some leather jackets and shades on Black Friday. So they decided to rock them out in a cool B&W pic probably taken at Sears. But I totally caught the dude in the back covering up his Cats, the musical t-shirt. Never the less, these guys have put together a great album.

[audio http://www.hulkshare.com/dl/rjpqnt48xsb0/04+Double+Burger+with+Cheese.mp3&titles=04 Double Burger with Cheese.mp3]Lupe Fiasco is back with a new mixtape. It’s great how the music industry has evolved; artists are in more creative control and can release material to spark interest for their actual album. Also the artist does not have to pay royalties on songs sampled for mixtape material, giving them complete freedom. Here, Lupe samples M83’s “Midnight City.” This actually works quite well, d/l Friend of the People: I Fight Evil now!
Lupe Fiasco – The End of Time
[audio http://www.hulkshare.com/dl/22gr9c1rsvk3/Lupe+Fiasco+-+The+End+Of+The+World.mp3]“Man all these cameras are bananas…,” Coming off a great performance at the American Music Awards, I decided to post a song off Breezy’s latest mixtape, Boy In Detention. After the success of his last mixtape, which first gave us his singles, “Deuces,” and “No Bullshit,” Chris decides to take a stab at his MC skills, and they aren’t half bad. “First 48,” is the opening track and features Mr. Brown rapping over a looped drum beat and horns. I gotta be honest, this is a great track to throw on your iPod when you go for a run. I am also re posting the R&B highlight from the release which had been previously posted on AOS, “Leave the Club.” Click the title to download the mixtape. I have also managed to find the below pic from his Fresh Prince of Bel Air phase.

Kaskade’s new album is solid start to finish, he has his traditional electronic high energy tracks as well as his “Ice” versions in which he concentrates more on an almost acoustic, toned down versions of his tracks which sound just as good. Kaskade invites singer, writer, and guitar player Marcus Bently, on “Let Me Go.” I could literally post every track from this album, but that would be obnoxious, and also take me a long time. Currently I am in a food coma, and deciding whether or not I am going to the local Wal-Mart to buy laundry detergent. Yes, I know, most would ask why the hell I would even attempt to join the crowds of people all trying to get a crappy TV at a cheap price. But I will find it entertaining and I really would like to get some laundry done. That is all.

You could tell right away this was true talent entering a world of mass-produced pop stars. The world recognized this talent as well as they came out and supported her album and all her singles. Now her music is universally adored, being remixed, reworked, and even was the topic of a full skit on SNL. After posting the Mike Posner cover yesterday, I have decided to post some of the best mixes of Adele I have found by various producers. Enjoy.

Man oh man this sounds good. No I.D. is handling most of the production for Common’s new album, The Dreamer, The Believer, and as long as they all sound as good as this we are in for a treat. Common Sense has been a favorite of mine ever since, Can I Borrow a Dollar? With the unfortunate loss of J Dilla, I was worried about his future records. Then Kanye came along and gave me hope, and now with No I.D., we are in for some great music this holiday!
Common – Celebrate
As mentioned in the previous post, this cover was put out over the summer and was too good not to post. Of all the Adele covers this has to be up there if not the best one. He changes the whole song and adds in perfect cut up vocals from Adele. You can get this for free off of his new mixtape, The Layover.
Mike Posner – Rolling In The Deep (Adele Cover)
This music prodigy from Duke keeps impressing me. He ridiculously talented, just go ahead and watch some of his youtube videos of him making music from scratch. After the success of his last album, he is back in the studio, and he decided to treat us with his new mixtape, The Layover, to hold us over. I highly recommend downloading this, it even features his amazing cover of Adele’s “Rolling In the Deep.” With this track he channels his inner Oasis and adds up and coming hip hop artist Big K.R.I.T.
