Elvis Costello rockin the keyboard

If you're cheap and can't be bothered buying Guitar Hero, heres a rip-off of it. It's an open sourse game called 'Frets On Fire', no doubt it as fun as the real game, the only thing is that the frets are f1-f5 and you strum with the enter key lol.



Heres a video of the gameplay



Download the game on http://fretsonfire.sourceforge.net/ and theres a shit load of songs to play with on torrents and whatevs.

Sharlok Poems - Blooming Sounds

Who would've thought Gospel Rap could be actually good? Sharlok Poems, better known as 'Poems', records an album thats made of win. Blooming Sounds was actually released on th 27th Nov last year, I know kinda late? Anyway, between all the genres I listen to, I'd say Hip Hop would be my favourite, and people like Sharlok is the reason why. When I look for something fresh, rap with a positive message and seem to be the first thing on my mind. Don't get me wrong, N.W.A and Dr. Dre were dope, but theres barely any other rappers who can be gangster and be original at the same time anymore. Sherlock, on the other hand epitomizes originality in Hip Hop, especially Gospel Hip Hop. When you hear 'Gospel Hip Hop', you'd think that there would be too much religious preaching and it usually is which seem out-dated. But not Sharlok, this poet spits truth with love, peace, and up lifting messages, with a couple of battle raps. Being labeled as Gospel Rap, preaching about God is in Blooming Sounds is subtle, focusing more on stories to relate with. The production here is flawless, the jazz influenced beats work waay too well with Sharlok. All in all Sharlok is no doubt a breathe of fresh air, I hope this guy gets the attention he deserves. To any Hip Hop heads out there, treat this shit.

Shout out to Martin, I found Blooming Sounds playing in his profile and I was automatically hooked, thanks broooooooo.

Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Pt. 1

Unconventional, unorthodox, is what Erykah Badu is. R&B at the moment is flooded with bass heavy club friendly tracks, but Erykah Badu keeps the soulful grooves where R&B once was. Her latest release sounds more of a concept album but stays true to her roots and sound from previous albums. If you love soul, this is a most def. Heres her video for her 1st single, 'Honey'.

Holt goes to Hollywood

Nigel on the left and Dj Mano on the right

Meet Nigel, Chicago native, as cool as The Cool Kids, self proclaimed 'best rapper' and who calls himself 'Hollywood Holt'. Far from the best rapper but I gotta give credit to this guy for making a killer mixtape. A minority of songs are full of rap clichés with average lyrics, but makes up for this with killer samples and bass. There is no doubt on how he vibes with the borrowed beats here, recreating and making them his own, something thats not common with most mixtapes out today. Nigel also does a few vocals with Feist and makes a remix of My Man, My Moon, which is pretty genius. He gets his vibe from his peers, those popping out of Chicago (The new home of Hip Hop, agree bitch), most notably The Cool Kids. For the guys who just want something to rock with this is it, I believe the sound and vibe on this mixtape is the future of mainstream Hip Hop, so treat this shit!!11
