Music Monday

This is a band from London... it was good to read they're associated with and come from the same scene as Laura Marling and Noah and The Whale
They had a song of the day and just as I predicted their album was great. Here it is.
Mumford & Sons - Sigh No More


I'm including these performances as a bonus

Music Friday

1.
I'm gonna start with the group called the Avalanches and just take the very first paragraph from Wikipedia.
"The Avalanches are an electronic music group from Melbourne, Australia, best known for their live DJ sets and debut album Since I Left You, which was assembled from approximately 3,500 vinyl samples."
you can imagine how much work they have put in doing this. 
The album is great, has a nice feel to it. It's really a sonic trip with all those different sounds from different sources.
This is my favorite song and a video. You should also Watch out for the song Since I Left You... that's a great one as well.

Next is Soul Khan. 2dopeboyz have been posting some of his videos and songs. I've also been watching him battle on Grind Time Now and he's really smart, witty and raw. But he can also make great songs and this album - Soul Like Khan proves it. Everything is on point. That Sene feature doesn't hurt either. 
viewer discretion is advised

DRAKE--THANK ME LATER REVIEW AND DOWNLOAD




The highly anticipated debut of DRAKE--THANK ME LATER


Overall, the album was a solid effort. In fact, it may become one of the best selling debuts of all time. I think it's safe to say that. Especially considering the insanely large amount of hype generated by the actor turned rapper. His previous role was nothing similar to "gangster"---a wheel chair bound basketball player in high school. Hailing from Canada, he was raised with an affluent background. How Drake continues to demonstrate his mass appeal is simply amazing. Since coming onto the scene, he has managed to spawn hits with some of the greats--including Jay Z, Eminem, Kanye West, and let's not forget the guy who put him on to big dollars--Young Money CEO and Founder Lil Wayne. It is definitely true that "{Young Money} gon' be alright if we put Drake on every hook. He sings just as much as he raps, but remarkably, he still manages to create an album both guys and girls will love. With club bangers like "Fancy" with T.I. and Swizz Beats and rap ballad collabos like "Fireworks" with Alicia Keys, Drake is sure to have a wealth of singles to choose from. He keeps it street with features from Nicki Minaj and Jeezy on "Up All Night" and "Unforgettable" respectively. The latter samples the Aaliyah track, "Let Me Know". The Kanye West produced "Show Me A Good Time" is easily my favorite track on the album. It couples an infectious drum cadence with scratches and familiar sound loops. Drake then confirms his penchant for incredibly catchy hooks that teem with simplicity and poignancy. You may recognize the "I" in the background is the same sound effect one used in "Run This Town", which featured Kanye and Jay Z.  Lil Wayne has only one feature, but it's certainly enough on "Miss Me". Jay Z provides some much needed advice to the  young Drake on "Light Up", another hit. Drake teamed up with hit-machine, Dream for "Shut it Down" and there is no reason to believe Dream didn't bring his A game.

The album really hits you on the second or third listen--at that point, you have the opportunity to really appreciate the lyricism and narrative style Drake is known for. He reflects on his rapid success, the temptations of the industry, and how these things have affected his relationships and personal life. Many times he seems triumphant and makes no effort to hold back his ego, while at certain points, one wonders if Drake truly has a handle on his G4 jet-fueled lifestyle. Singles include Find Your Love and Over.
