[Flash 9 is required to listen to audio.]

Artist: BADBADNOTGOOD

Song: Vices

Album: BBNG 2

Year: 2012

Genre: ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (this is what the actual data is, haha) I would say Jazz/Experimental/Hip-Hop

BBNG’s latest release is nothing short of pure awesome. I honestly cannot produce the words to do this band any justice. They are predominately Jazz, but with a whole plethora of other genres in the mix. I discovered them through a friend who showed me their cover of Flashing Lights, you know, by Kanye West, and it was amazing. They’ve also done a Zelda medley, Lemonade by Gucci Mane, Earl by Earl, and Mass Appeal by Gangstarr on top of a handful of others. They’re originals are top notch jams as well. I am so glad I found out about these guys, I’ve already been missing out for a long time. If you’re into Jazz or Hip-Hop then you definitely need to check this out. I also highly, HIGHLY recommend this to anyone who has an open mind for music, and is looking for something new to chill out to. Awesome stuff to kick back to this Summer. Whether you’re at the crib, going to for skate, or cruising in the car, this is it right here. Do yourself a favor and click to play, because otherwise you will just be screwing yourself out of some of the best music you’ll ever hear. Oh by the way, all their stuff is FREE.

Artist: Skeme

Song: When You See Me (Prod. by King David “The Future”

Album: THE STATEMENT

Year: 2011

Genre: Rap/Hip-Hop

Real trill shxt. Roll around with your homies this Summer bumping this guy. Great for parties, good beats for the whip, etc etc, you know what it is! This guy isn’t groundbreaking or anything, but he’s got good flow and style. Mostly talks about himself being cool, but not in an annoying way. It definitely helps to boost your ego though, that’s for sure. Give this track a spin, you won’t regret it!

Artist: Vacationer

Song: Having It All

Album: Gone

Year: 2012

Genre: Experimental/Electronic/Indie

I really don’t have the words to describe how cool Vacationer is. Have you ever heard of Person L? If not then you suck and need to check them out. What about The Starting Line? You have to have! The lead singer from TSL sings and plays the guitar for Person L, and he also happens to be the frontman of Vacationer! When I first heard Vacationer, I recognized the voice, and as I suspected I discovered it was Kenny Vasoli! Anyway, this is the chillest music I’ve heard in awhile. Vacationer is a collaborative effort that makes music revolving around, well vacationing. Chillin’ out, having a good time with good people and good vibes. Really uplifting, awesome stuff. Can’t get enough it. So perfect for Summer that it isn’t even funny! If you go to their site, which I will link below, you can type in any state and then the site plays a collection of videos from that state with their track “Trip” in the background. Sweet, right? They remind of so many different bands that I can’t really pin any of them. I hear some American Royalty in there, that’s for sure! You just have to listen. Beautiful music here. I really can’t wait to jam this out this Summer.

Artist: This Mouth Is An Ashtray

Song: Mother, I’ve Been Tired

Album: Shibboleth

Year: 2012

Genre: Indie/Folk

This musician messaged me awhile ago, but I am only getting around to it now, because I’ve been on the Xbox. Anyway, TMIAA was quite a pleasant surprise! Indie Folk with a touch of bluegrass makes for music something along the lines of Grizzly Bear, so if you’re into Grizzly Bear then you’re going to want to check this guy out. His voice reminds especially of someone else, but I still cannot think of who it is! Either way, you should support this guy, and purchase Shibboleth. It’s only a four track album, which is more-or-less a demo, but you get to name your price! Everything counts for musicians these days! I’m not going to say only throw this guy a quarter, but if that’s all you got then I’m sure he wouldn’t mind. These tracks are perfect for the up and coming summer nights with your friends and a campfire (hopefully it won’t be hot as fuuu- this Summer). This Mouth Is An Ashtray is delivering some fresh Indie Folk this summer, so definitely click for more and visit his bandcamp to grab yourself “Shibboleth!”

Big K.R.I.T. is great, and this song is a fine example of that. I feel like KRIT is one of those modern rappers that brings hope to a Hip-Hop world full of crap haha. This song will go well in your Spring and Summer playlist, so jam it out!

Minus The Bear is one of the best bands of all time, and that is the truth. They’ve lost touch with their proggy side, but that’s okay, because this is album is still awesome. The songs on this album are perfect for this Spring and Summer, and can even make a good love-making peice, hahaha. If you like this, then check out their other albums, like Menos El Oso!
