I remember first hearing about Styles of Beyond on Fort Minor’s We Major mixtape since the underground Cali rap group was featured on most of the tape. After just simply hearing “Styles of Beyond” said in the background on a majority of the mixtape, I knew I had to check them out considering how We Major was on…
Music Video: Muse- “Madness”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Muse released a new music video to their latest single and my favorite song of last month, “Madness.” The video is shot in a train station where a riot occurs and the riot seems to ultimately bring two lovers together. This isn’t your normal love song considering the dubstep influenced beat, but it definitely works.…
Colin Munroe ft. Kendrick Lamar & Ab-Soul – “Scars N Stars”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Canadian singer and songwriter, Colin Munroe dropped a new project today and one of the standout tracks features TDE heavyweights, Kendrick Lamar and Ab-Soul. I didn’t know much about Colin before this new tape, but he is most definitely worth checking out. His style is different yet dope and it doesn’t hurt that he has…
Blu- “Rap Dope”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
I was never too fond of Blu’s beat selection, but the dude can rap. On his new track “Rap Dope”, Blu reminds us why is his viewed as one of the better lyricists in the game right now. It was refreshing to hear Blu’s new single after just listening through Weezy’s new tape. Production was…
Mixtape: Lil Wayne “Dedication 4”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
#MixtapeMondays Two massive new mixtapes released today (peep Talib’s new one here), I can’t complain. Skateboard Weezy dropped his highly anticipated new mixtape, Dedication 4. I’ve heard mixed reviews on this one, but then again every track/project Wayne has dropped recently has gotten mixed reviews. After skimming through the mixtape, I can’t say that it is all recycle…
Preview: Flux Pavilion & Childish Gambino New Track At Electric Zoo
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
I never thought I’d see the day where Childish Gambino and Flux Pavilion would collaborate on a new track. Flux dropped his new bass heavy collaboration featuring Gambino during his live set at Electric Zoo in NYC and although the preview is only two minutes long, you can get a good feel of the track.…
David Guetta ft. Ne-Yo & Akon– Play Hard
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Wiz Khalifa isn’t the only person to “Word Hard, Play Hard“, Ne-Yo, Akon and David Guetta work hard and play hard too. Not sure how this one will do, but it has potential to be a radio smash. Guetta samples Alice Deejay’s “Better Off Alone” and funny enough Wiz Khalifa’s 2008 radio hit “Say Yeah”…
Video: Jay-Z & Pearl Jam Perform “99 Problems”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Last night, Pearl Jam closed up the Jay-Z curated festival, Made In America and from the videos I’ve see they did a great job. The 90s grunge rock band brought out Jay-Z for the Seattle based band’s second encore to play a new rock version of “99 Problems.” Both Jay-Z and Pearl Jam fans seemed to…

Music Video: Green Day “Kill the DJ”
by Raffi Khatchadourian •
Not my favorite new Green Day song, but the music video makes it a tad bit better and more interesting. There is a random scene of the group riding motocycles in the desert and I don’t really think that has anything to do with the song, but it still was cool for some odd reason.…
