FRESH: WZRD



It's finally here, officially released today, the joint album from Kid Cudi and Dot Da Genius 'WZRD'. Highly anticipated, Kid Cudi has been said to 'sucessfully cross genre boundaries' and i feel he definitely has on this one, with a perfect combination of classic kid cudi beats and riffs reminiscent of The Pixies this really is a unique album and i think Cudi is still definitely one of the few artists that could actually pull off a rock x hip hop album of this quality. With 'Teleport 2 Me', especially liking on this one, the sample from Desire's 'Under Your Spell' and 'The Dream Time Machine' being two of my personal favourites off the album.

1. The Arrival 2. High Off Life 3. The Dream Time Machine 4. Love Hard 5. Live & Learn 6. Brake 7. Teleport 2 Me, Jamie (feat. Desire) 8. Where Did You Sleep Last Night? 9. Efflictim 10. Dr. Pill 11. Upper Room

"Never thought the day would come for me, when I would be high off life, there's so much I have to see." - Kid Cudi

ROCKIE FRESH// WHAT'S THE HURRY


'Whats The Hurry' ft.Imogen Heap from Chicago's Rockie Fresh, taken from ' The Otherside' mixtape released 2010. To download this mixtape see my previous post introducing Rockie here. I think following the release of his mixtape 'Driving 88' this year, there is no doubt that this artist is gonna blow up soon and seriously make it big, he definitely has the potential. 'The Otherside' & 'Driving 88' are two of the best mixtapes i've heard for a while, having them on repeat all the time lately. Well worth checking out. You can download his latest mixtape 'Driving 88' here.

CURREN$Y//HERE (EP)



Louisiana rapper Curren$y, dropped a free five track EP, entitled 'Here' a couple of days ago, February 5th, even though this was actually recorded all in one day, it hasn't stopped him delivering a quality EP. Definitely feeling 'Pay Attention' and '#CruiseLife' off this.

"Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition" - Steve Jobs
