Favorite Live Performance
Day & Night: Unplugged Live - Fifty Fifty
When I tell you that these girls can sing, I mean that these girls can sing and I have the proof. This unplugged version of their latest EP was such a treat to the eardrums. The songs themselves are already quite enjoyable, but to be able to pair it with their live vocals accompanied with live instrumentation is such a treat. I couldn't help but share this with you, if you haven't had the chance to do so yet. I'd stop wasting time though! Click it now!
Favorite Rap Single
So Be It - Clipse
For my hip hop heads out there, I'm sure you need no convincing to check this out. Matter of fact, you probably already knew of this glorious return of the mighty Clipse duo! "Ace Trumpets" was the first release with simply a lyric video, but this second release with the full blown visuals is a delicacy. Some of the slickest bad guy, drug dealer talk paired with the black & white scenes amongst luxury. All of this laid over the most menacing instrumental prepared from Pharrell as the foundation! This is comeback season and Clipse are taking no prisoners. Even Travis Scott caught some shots on this one. You don't want to miss this!
Favorite Interview
XV - The Fully Connected Podcast
If you don't know about XV, then this will show you how close he was to having that be the complete opposite. Growing up as a fellow emcee in Kansas, I had become aware of XV from Wichita as he was becoming one of the most promising rappers from the state. He's crossed paths with some of the biggest names in the industry, but sometimes things don't go the way you expect. His journey was incredible to hear him chronicle in this interview. And even though he's still continuing his career that can reach new heights, I advise you take the time to learn more about the kid with the green backpack now.
