Nuff Said

I'm all about showing you guys the new, non mainstream stuff. Luckily today I'll be able to give you audio and visual. I got the opportunity to interview 2 talented young men by the names of Hangtime and The Arsonist. They have a mixtape dropping 2moro, actually today. Anyway you put it, it's dropping VERY SOON. It's called NUFF SAID. I have my copy, and you can hear it at datpiff.com
Also for your enjoyment, I have the actual interview. SO take a look, then go take a listen, and see if these guys strike your fancy!!

Let's Play Catch Up

Since my last post I learned that Jay-Z is on tour and either he didn't come to ATL or I missed it already. Either way, FAIL! Secondly, someone started a rumor that Kanye West is dead, he's very much alive so it's all good. Last, Lil Wayne may be going to jail soon. Don't worry because he probably wont do much time! Also, Trina AND Nicki Minaj are on the official remix to "5 Star Chick". Everyone thinks Nicki has the best verse, I think they spoke from 2 different view points and since they both have 2 distinct styles, you can't really compare them. I just like to see UNITY in the  female sector of the rap game.

WINGS OF AN ANGEL ~STOP THE VIOLENCE~

As part of a school project 6 classmates and I have come together to form a group we named "Wings of an Angel". With this group we intend on raising money that will be donated to the Boys & Girls Club of Metro Atlanta. Every fundraiser we hold will be for this effort. All of our profits will be given to BGCMA. The BGCMA provides youth a safe environment to learn and express themselves. It keeps them off the streets and out of trouble. They are doing their part to better today's youth and an outcome of that is undoubtly putting a halt to VIOLENCE. You can help us to help them help our youth by donating to our group. Any and every donation is appreciated! It doesn't matter how small it may be. If you are interested in supporting Wings of an Angel in this venture you can send an email to jbarton4@student.gsu.edu

Thank you in advance for your help.

HIS NAME IS TRAVIS & HE'S PRETTY MUCH A BIG DEAL

Gym Class Heroes graced the campus of Ga State University with their presence last night. This is one time when I feel like my student fees were put to excellent use. The was relatively short but every minute of it great. I had the distinct pleasure of being about 10 inches from Travis' face. I think they may have actually put on the most high energy performance I've seen in 2009. They even did a "When Doves Cry" cover that was priceless. Sashi on guitar was truely a hero! I feel like maybe we cheated them since student tickets were so cheap and they did such a wonderful job.

Swavor of the Week = EARTHGANG

I really wasn't sure if I was going to be able to come through with a new Swavor for this week, but just as I contemplated giving up hope I was HIT with greatness! I get a lot of invitations on Facebook to become a "FAN" of one group or another. Usually I just ignore them without any thought at all. Today for some strange reason  I decided to investigate one of these fan pages. What did I find? I found a refreshing sound that I felt obligated to share with the masses. I would like to introduce to all of you a duo by the name of Earthgang.
Being as how I only discovered these guys a few hours ago, I can't tell you that they are great live performers since I've never seen them perform. BUT I can tell you that they make good music. I'm not talking about that mainstream futuristc movement that's going on right now either. I'm talking about precise lyricism and amazing production. It's not often that you find both now a days. I could probably go on and on  with a rant about how shocked I was that I immediately loved what I heard on their Myspace, but I'd rather let you go and find that out for yourselves. Check em out NOW!! ---> EARTHGANG MYSPACE
