[Hip-Hop] Rapsody – Round Table Discussion Feat. Mac Miller & The Cool Kids (Prod. 9th Wonder)

Posted by Baseer Ahmad - August 26, 2012

Rapsody can no longer solely be associated with a B-list music service. The emerging female rapper certainly impresses with the second single off her upcoming album The Idea of Beautiful, dropping on August 28th. With features from Mac Miller, The Cool Kids, and fresh production coming courtesy of the legendary 9th Wonder, you know this one is bound to be ill. The year 2012 is certainly shaping up to be the one of the female emcee, with young newcomers like Rapsody, Nitty Scott MC, and Azealia Banks getting ready to take over, and former heavyweights like Eve, Missy Elliot and Lauryn Hill poised to make their official comebacks later this year.

[Hip-Hop/Electro] Sir Michael Rocks – Now You Do (Prod. Flosstradamus)

Posted by Ash El Gamal - July 11, 2012

Sir Michael Rocks, one half of Chicago’s Cool Kids and recent Jet Life signee, is set to release his debut solo album, Lap of Lux, on August 2nd. The first single and opening track, “Now You Do,” features Flosstradamus’s legendary remix of Lana del Rey’s “Video Games”, Lana’s Theme. I am one of the first to advocate for the fusion of electronic and hip-hop and this is a perfect example of how the two can work together. The hard-hitting, trap-style of Flosstradamus, also based in Chicago, fits perfectly with the grittiness of rap. While many hip-hop loyalists are extremely cautious when it comes to incorporating EDM, artists like Sir Michael show us that the two can coexist without harming artistic integrity. An awesome collaboration that should be played at high volumes, preferably in a residential area.
