Im pretty psyched about the 2012 Summer Olympics in London this summer. Today was the opening ceremony featuring performances by popular English artists Arctic Monkeys, Two Door Cinema Club and Beatles legend Paul McCartney.

Initially the children have some warranted reservations about this pinata person(the parents seem to have no qualms about his rather creepy appearance). The children eventually warm up to him when candy begins to fall [...]

After much anticipation, Rick Ross has finally released his new song “3 Kings” featuring Dr.Dre and Jay-Z. Premiering it on Funkmaster Flex’s In Flex We Trust radio show last night, I could hear people blasting it outside my window. With that said, the combination of Hip-Hop royalty is a very successful one. While Rick Ross provides solid bars, it’s safe [...]

Odd Future’s Earl Sweatshirt is quite the enigma. Being only 18 years old of age, he has lived, and rapped– things people could only dream (or have nightmares) about. Spitting abstract, gruesome, and overall clever lines, Earl Sweatshirt’s rhyme scheme is not restricted in any sense, and because of that, he has risen to stardom. Being a fan of Eminem [...]

After 10 years of anticipation, No Doubt have released their long-awaited single “Settle Down,” which will be the first release from the band’s upcoming album, Push And Shove. Staying true to their Reggae influence, “Settle Down” is a energetic and fresh comeback track that welcomes fans with open arms. Rumor has it a corresponding music video for “Settle Down” will [...]

With “Kool Aid & Frozen Pizza” accompanied by others in his breakout mixtape K.I.D.S., Mac went from an inspiring emcee to billboard charting rapper that was touring the world; and this was all before turning 20 years old. While [...]

As promised, Frank Ocean released his highly anticipated new album Channel Orange via iTunes last night at midnight. After listening to the album twice, I can say Frank has quite an EXCEPTIONAL album on his hands. Balancing his abstract lyrics with a strong vocal performance in almost every song, this by far one of the top R&B albums of the [...]
