#NewMusic: Rockie Fresh x Phil Ade “Where I Wanna Be”

Rockie Fresh is one of the newer artists hailing from Chicago. With less than three years in the game, he has already established a presence in hip-hop that seems to only be getting stronger. If you’re an early adopter, you’ve checked Fresh out at SXSW and AC3 and can vouch that homie has been putting in work.

The Midwest emcee teams up with his partner from DC, Phil Ade, whom has contributed on joint records in the past. This specific collaboration is off of Rockie’s most recent project, “Driving 88.” On “Where I Wanna Be,” the two go back and forth about being at peace with their decision to follow their aspirations. This ain’t no Donnell Jones record!

#NewMusic: Frank Ocean “Voodoo”

Although, D’Angelo has been seen on the scene recently, Frank Ocean provides us with his own definition of voodoo.
Oh, so you thought they stopped making baby-making music when you made yours? Not quite and in fact, we need more of this type of love-making music. Overall, we need love and thanks to Frank, there is a soundtrack!

#NewMusic: Mac Miller “Death of the Emcee”

Mr. Peter Parker and DJ Whoo Kid have joined forces to produce for some and introduce to others, “FRATRAP.” Mac Miller is a perfect addition to the ensemble. While Jay-Z was so adamant about bringing death to auto-tune, Mac is more focused on the emcee. Don’t spoil your dinner, but get a taste of what’s more to come!

State of the Union Issue Breakdown [INFOGRAPHIC]

This Tuesday, President Obama proceeded to address the nation through his State of the Union speech for the fourth time since he’s been elected. As always, everyone from around the world checked in to see what issues he and his administration will be prioritizing in the near future. However, this year’s speech is a little more important than the last, given the fact that this could be Obama’s last opportunity, as president, to make an impact that would satisfy constituents.

The Washington Post created the featured infographic identifying the amount of time the president spent talking about a specific issue in comparison to the last few speeches.

Did President Obama leave out an issue that was important to you?

#NewMusic: The Cranberry Show “Traffic Lights”

Shouts out to @ArcaneofTCS for sending over the very inspiring bootleg artwork to he and his partner, Young Focus’s new collaborative project, “Paranormal Karaoke” which is set to be released on the 1st of February. The duo has come along away from their Sex and Pencil Shavings days. While their music has definitely matured, it’s safe to say they haven’t…which is what makes the Cranberry Show the indigestible group that they are! See below for their newest single release, “Traffic Lights.”
