Reek – "Singing The Blues" [LISTEN]

Posted on:

Is there a heart in the house tonight? You’d think so considering that it’s Valentine’s Day and the wordsmith in the hot seat hails from the City of Brotherly Love, but newcomer Reek drops a new songs for those “Singing The Blues.” The Philadelphia-based producer/rapper dug into the crates with fellow beatsmith D-Amazin to bring that classic 1970’s soul feeling on this emotional cut. In the end, listeners receive a song that’s almost a Hip-Hop version of R. Kelly’s “When A Woman’s Fed Up.” Here Kells’ infamous “Sitting here looking in the mirror, saying ‘Damn to myself’,” rematerializes into lines about how Reek “made our love boat the Titanic” and “the money was an iceberg….

Skill and Coast to Coast Talent

Posted on:

I remember when music was more recognized for its talent before it became a business. Music was a piece of art, and there was no right or wrong way to look or sound. Has the entertainment industry separated itself? I remember I read a review by Gemini years ago, and he explained whatever and whoever was making the most noise, the industry followed, regardless if it was garbage or not, it had

TWITTER LOOP: DRAKE GOES OFF ON ‘ROLLING STONE’ FOR MISQUOTING HIM & CHANGING THEIR COVER + RS RESPONDS

Posted on:

Looks like Drake is pissed off that the iconic magazine Rolling Stone decided to cut him from the cover and feature the late actor Phillip Seymour Hoffman. In a series of tweets (two of them have since been deleted), the 27 year-old rapper also claimed that the Kanye West & Jay-Z “diss” was not spoken during the exclusive sit down. DRAKE TWEETED THIS AND THEN DELETED IT RIGHT AFTER: I never commented on Yeezus for my interview portion of Rolling Stone. They also took my cover from me last minute and ran the issue. I’m disgusted with that. RIP to Phillip Seymour Hoffman. All respect due. But the press is evil. I'm done doing interviews for magazines. I just want …
