J. Cole officially has a day named after him in Fayetteville, NC, his hometown. That’s pretty cool, and worthy of a celebration track, Visionz of Home. I love the intensity on this one, the instrumental, and Cole’s lyricism. J. Cole continues on his well-deserved rise to fame, and it’s tracks like this that make it all the better. Download.
It’s a special kind of day – Radical Something has just released their No Sweat EP! It’s a six track compilation of laid back and easy going songs, available on iTunes for just $2.99. I’ve been working closely with the guys at Radical Something since they first started releasing music last year, and it’s been so much fun to watch their music grow and mature. Their style has come together, their sound is wonderfully polished, and they have one of the most supportive fan bases I’ve ever seen for any artist. No Sweat is a beautiful, cohesive piece of work that I’m proud to share with kollectors everywhere. This is Radical’s best work to date; $3 couldn’t be better spent.
Show these guys some love and grab No Sweat on iTunes below (don’t forget that 5-star rating!). We’ve also dropped the exclusive release for Acid Rain (my favorite song on the EP) as a preview!
Here’s a new video from X to the V for The L7 Motto ft. Sez Batters. It’s a compilation style video of concert footage and backstage tapes that borrows a few stylistic elements from other videos. It’s an entertaining video, only worth watching if you have good bass. Turn it up and peep below!
Here’s a new video from French electronic producer Yuksek, for the song Off the Wall. This might not be what you’re expecting to see on The K today, but this is an awesome video with some hypnotizing effects – just watch below and try not to hurt your head figuring this one out.
Here’s a new video from the Fresh Aer Movement, Smoove Bruh. I really love the laid back beat matched up so perfectly with the feel-good vibe of the video. It’s a happy, easy going piece that is a much-needed piece for the end of a stressful week. I’m a bit unsure about the second verse. I get the style he was going for, but it’s too slow for my taste. The first verse, however, is crispy as ever. Peep below and download for free.
Nobody does it better than Logic. Well, in my opinion at least…
For this new video, Young Sinatra hops on the timeless sample D.A.N.C.E. by Justice and completely tears it apart with that classic Logic flow! Logic shows a little more of his upbeat style on this track, and makes it a true challenge for all you fans to not want to just dance! This kid has the lyrics, the grind and everything you need to make it in the game, with that being said there is not a single mixtape that is more highly anticipated, for me, this year.
Now the real question is, who does the sample better, Logic or other fellow DMV emcee, Wale? Let us know in the comments!
On a side note, the official mp3 will be released when the video hits 100,000 views so be sure to share it and show your friends so that we can bump this on our iPods!
