Snoop Dogg & Boyz 2 Men   Santa Clause Goes Straight To The Ghetto Instant classic 4 out of 4. What a great throwback of a track. I'm not sure how if this is an original or a remix of his older version of the song. Two of the kings of the 90's Snoop Dogg and Boyz 2 Men, collaborating for Christmas. Snoop, sounds good no matter what type of track it is, hell it could be a country song and Snoop would rock it. It is no surprise his lyrics sound smooth as silk, rapping about the 12 days of Christmas in the hood. Plus it's nice to hear Boyz 2 Men again. Lil Xan   Wake Up 3 out of 4. Ruthless beat meshed with awesome delivery on the lyrics. I got to say, I'm not the biggest fan of some of rap's new styles. I often hear a lack of lyrical skill descised as modern creativity over crappy home studio prouduced beats. On this track Lil Xan hit it right on the mark. The right beat with the right delvery of lyrics. Anders Why 2 out of 4. Attempti

Original article by  Bryan Farrish When talking to people who are launching their first couple of projects, invariably the same misunderstood points come up concerning commercial regular-rotation airplay. Here they are: DJs PLAY THE RECORDS: This only applies to non-commercial radio, and specialty/mixshow radio. The majority of people in the U.S., however, listen to commercial regular-rotation radio , and on these stations, the DJs have no say at all in what is going to be played (unless, in the case of a smaller station, the DJ is also the PD). So, the biggest pitfall to avoid is asking a DJ at a commercial station "Can I give you my CD for possible rotation?". The DJ is not allowed to say "No", and he/she is probably not going to explain that only the PD can approve regular rotation. The DJ is just going to say "OK". GOOD SONGS SPREAD TO OTHER STATIONS: Good songs (or for that matter, good programs) do not mystically spread to other stations.

Written by Jasen Keplinger       Bjork is back with a fresh new creation. Her latest album titled " Utopia " is a fresh perspective on orchestra music combined with a few Electronic riffs. It's not your typical Bjork, and the music is serene.      For those who prefer Bjork the pop star over Bjork the experimental artist who wants to give you a headache, it is not a hopeful portent. So it’s a pleasant surprise that the record is considerably more uplifting than her previous foray, 2015’s break-up lament Vulnicura . Assembled in the aftermath of her split from artist Matthew Barney that LP was an excruciating exercise in emotional flagellation, a suite of raw-veined dirges which, though well constructed, made for deeply queasy listening.      With Utopia, Bjork is learning to live life anew while imbuing the project with an engaging fragility and even naivety. She’s described it as her “Tinder” album and it is with a palpable vulnerability that she sings abo

The best and worst Eminem record I've ever heard.  Album Rating 3 out of 4.  Song Rating System 4 out of 4 - Really liked  3 out of 4 - Liked  2 out of 4 - Didn't like  1 out of 4 - No response  "Revival" is the ninth studio album by American rapper Eminem . The album was released on December 15th, 2017 through Aftermath Entertainment , Shady Records , and Interscope Records . ( Wikipedia )  1. Walk On Water ( feat. Beyonce ) - 4 out of 4 - Probably will go down as one of the most underrated of Eminem's hits. The song encompasses all of the talents and personalities of one of this generations greatest artist. Unlike some of his prior works, the song is not set on a grand stage but a simple piano-driven beat with raw, honest lyrics and a beautiful hook from Beyonce. 2. Believe - 2 out of 4 - It's interesting to hear Eminem switch it up and rap over more trap-like beats. Honestly, he does it better than most of the younger cr

Original article from - http://www.musicbizacademy.com The music industry aside, in your daily interaction with unrelated music companies, such as utility companies, supermarkets, restaurants, etc., as a customer or client, it is easy to recognize those companies that value you as their most important asset, and those companies that do not. Those that do recognize it, reflect this in how their personnel, who represent them, treat you and react and respond to your immediate needs. Alternatively, those that do not recognize it and, otherwise, appear to feel that you are there to serve them, allow their employees to present rude and disrespectful behavior to customers, with little (if any) internal repercussions to their employees for doing so. Now, let's bring this same point closer to home where we live...in the Music industry, and see it through the history of both major record labels and artists, and where it has now come. Major Record Labels: Since before the exi

1. Where are we talking from today? This week I'm talking out of NJ. 2. How did you get involved in music? I got involved in music when I was a BMX athlete picking songs that I would perform to my style and creating BMX videos. This lead to finding the right song for djing underground raves and eventually making my own songs. I would challenge myself like I did in BMX. Wherein BMX every event someone made history to where I try to in music, with every show I try to make history. 3. Can you describe your music? My music is like that kid you see doing action sports, doing something that people said couldn't be done. 4. Music wise, what are you working on? I'm working on doing a new EDM sub-genre, new tracks that may turn into an E.P. 5. What would you like to say to your fans and the world? I love all my fans. I'm very grateful for the fans I have, without you I cannot and would not be here. https://www.codenycmag.com/gr3g-hunt https://soundcloud

Written by Jasen Keplinger Taylor Swift is really showing the world what we made her do with her latest album titled Reputation. The album, which is her sixth studio album, sold one million copies within the first four days alone. Released on November 10 2017 the album still currently sits in the number one position on Billboard. Swift broke records with the release of the first single Look What You Made Me Do on all of the streaming sites while her music video for the single generating many millions of viewers the first night of it's release. Swift released the single many weeks before the release of the album Reputation. She soon followed the first single up with Ready for It which is actually the opening track on the album. The video for Ready for It was a fantastical sci-fi fantasy and the single landed in the top five on Billboard. The album Reputation is considered to be of the genre electropop and was released by Big Machine Records. The album was the fourth c

Written by Jasen Keplinger American Horror Story fans were either really happy or really disappointed with the season finale of AHS Cult. I personally enjoyed the finale and thought each character's story was wrapped up well. So let's explore the finale, dissect the plots and analyze their meanings. This finale was reminiscent of AHS Asylum's finale in the sense that time jumps forward and backward to explain the denouement of Kai (Evan Peters) while also bringing justice to each of the other characters. We start with Kai being in prison at the beginning of the episode. Right away we know his political plans were foiled, but how and why? We see Kai still has a following in prison including other inmates, as well as guards. Then we are sent into the past where Kai is still free and pursuing his lofty goals. Ally (Sarah Paulson) is still playing up to Kai while looking for an opening and planning his downfall. Winter's (Billie Lourd) character is sorely

Interviewed by Chris Keplinger on 11/7/17 1. Where are we talking from today? A. "Atlanta, I recently moved here from Lanett, AL, where I lived for close to four years. I'm really looking into getting involved with more music-related charity events or temp work, my passion is music and I believe I have a lot to offer to the future of music." 2. How did you get involved in music? A. "All in all, if it wasn’t for my family and friends, I would still be recording songs on my phone and being the only one to listen to them. They believed I had something special, and they made me see it in myself. What I would like for anyone who comes across my music is for my music to pull him or her into “Aubrey’s world”. A world that shows you that people can be different on the outside but on the inside, we are all human, and we all have cried, felt heartbreak, and lost someone we loved. I believe those are the true things that make life what it is, and I would just like to

Hip hop up and comer Grisly BK has brought the past into the present with his unique style of sound. He takes his music by mixing it up to create content based material that is a blast from the past, literally the sound of yesterday, just as noted prior of his work's being in the past but in the present. Whilst his music may be a sound of the yesteryear he has gone on to release some singles, including one titled "Since Day One" and another titled "Pull Up". His embracive emotions towards his music is purely aggressive, yet toned remarkable well, that such talent is one that has not been heard before. That said, Grisly BK will take these singles, going forward with putting together a full-length album or EP release of sorts, collecting his music, where his tracks will fit together into a certain situation where everything is cataloged together into a wholesome trek of well-rounded works of art and raw talent. Grisly BK will take on the hip hop scene wit
