I <3 Music

Can I just say that I'm excited about the state of music again! It seems like there is life out there after all; not to say that all music out today, is bad. I've recently been hearing a nice range of new and good music lately. The music is alive again. It's fresh, it's fun, it's intelligent, and most of all it's creative! There's a slew of new talent (yes, actually talented), i.e. Drake, Kid Cudi, Ryan Leslie, Asher Roth, Charles Hamilton, Wale, who constantly bring new energy and creativity to the game. Then there's the Veterans, i.e. Jay Z, Eminem, Kanye West, John Legend, Trey Songz, and Maxwell, to name a few, that keep coming out and producing quality music. Be on the look out for Jay Z's Blueprint 3 (Sept. 11) and Em's Relapse 2. Trey's new album is due out Aug. 31 and Kanye is due to have a new album sometime next year. Maxwell's new album "Blacksummersnight" is in stores now along with John Legend's "Revolver," and they are both fire! On the more alternative side, there's Gym Class Heroes, Cobra Starship, and Fall Out Boy bringing the heat. To be honest I've been slacking on the Reggae tip, but the the Dancehall world is a blaze too! There's a new Cd from Sean Paul and new music from Bennie, Bounty, Movado, Vbyz and many more. Like I said, I'm pretty excited of what's to come. The song you're about to hear is what prompted me to post this in the first place. It's a crazy callabo of major artists, featuring one the greatets rappers to grace this earth, Marshall Mathers. Make sure to pause the music on this page before you play it. Here it is:

Forever with Drake, Kanye West, Lil Wayne, and Eminem (in that order).
