Logic never disappoints. If there is one artist that I could see having a breakthrough year in 2012, it is definitely Logic. Logic works hard as hell and constantly delivers great music.

Ed Sheeran has a solid fan base in the UK, but maybe we will see his base growing in the US…

Yonas is back with his second release of the New Year. He goes over a sample of M83’s popular track “Midnight City” on this one. M83’s “Midnight City” ended up being one of my favorite songs of 2011 and Yonas definitely did justice to the single. Check out his most recent song “New Year, Same Me”…

Ok, I have to admit that the first time I listened to T.I’s new mixtape F*ck Da City Up fully was last night. The Dr. Dre collaboration joint stood out on T.I’s project, especially since I had recognized the beat from somewhere else. The song that I had recognized the beat from was ‘Mama Told…

I love the jazz sound…
