Lissie - Kid Cudi live cover - Pursuit Of Happiness

In general I love the new electronic sounds that have taken over the music scene in recent years. I'm a big fan of Ratatat, MGMT, Passion Pit, of course T-Pain, and many more. However, there is something to be said for doin it a little more old school. I know everyone here is a KiD CuDi disciple so I figured this non-hip hop post would be acceptable. Lissie and her crew do a great job with this cover; between the more subdued instrumentals and Lissie's strong vocal's the excellence of the original songwriting is really able to shine.

Pete Rock & InI - Grown Man Sport

Make sure you're listening to these on speakers with some good bass (i.e. not laptop speakers). These tunes are soo good.

Pete Rock & InI - KrossRoads

#3 in the series. Soo great for coolin out. If you blaze you'll especially love this series.

Pete Rock & InI - Center Of Attention

Here's song #2 from Pete Rock's "Lost & Found Hip Hop Underground Soul Classics." Quite an appropriate name for this CD. Just about every song on it is an amazing underground classic that no one has heard of. Get to know it.

Eminem - Space Bound [HQ + Lyrics]

Eminem has been producing a ton of great songs lately, and this is the latest of the series. Some heavy lyrics but the chorus is incredible and it blends so perfectly. Eminem's still got it.

Pete Rock & InI - What You Say

Amazing CD!! You've all heard The People Under The Stairs's "Acid Raindrops." Well, here's a better version by Pete Rock and InI. I'll be posting several songs from this CD because it is absolutely amazing for just chillen out to. I hope you like it!

GOLDFISH - FORT KNOX (OFFICIAL)

Here's a second sample of what Goldfish has to offer. The video is fun to watch and the song is again pretty catchy. See if you like it.

Goldfish - Cruising Through

Thanks to CG for the suggestion. This group is a little bit different from what we normally post but they have some really catchy tunes that are definitely worth a listen. Stay tuned for more.

M.i - These Ideas (The Jack Johnson Sessions)

A nice Jack Johnson sample makes for a catchy, feel-good tune. I'm really diggin this song right now. M.i. is not a widely known artist but his recent mixtape "The Jack Johnson Sessions" was really solid and definitely deserves a good listen. His laid-back flow matches perfectly with Jack Johnson's smooth vibes. Enjoy.

Kid Cudi - Ashin Kusher

This has a completely different tone than the other two songs I posted. His flow is ridiculous, and this is a for sure head-bobber. He is known for having extremely catchy hooks, and this exemplifies that. I don't know what else to say except BUY THIS CD! I hope you enjoy.

Kid Cudi - All Along

This might be my favorite song on the CD. It's very catchy and again dark, but very mellow. Not much rap, but great singing, which he has shown he can do. Bump this and I guarantee after the second time playing it, you will be singing it!

Kid Cudi - GHOST!

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, SCHOOL ( soccer) has been crazy. Since Kid Cudi's CD came out today, I am going to dedicate the next few songs that I post to Man On the Moon II. The CD takes some time getting used to, but after a few plays the entire CD is on constant repeat. This song is dark and rather ominous, like most of his cd. If you blaze I suggest smoking to this, its trippy! I love Kid Cudi and he further solidified himself as one of the best out!
