Artist of the week 4-2-12
Apr 2nd
Usher has been one of my main RnB artists since I was a little squirt, that is until he ruined his career by making club bangers with Will.i.am. I’m happy to say Usher’s newest single “Climax” has gone back to his old sound and the song even has a sick producer backing it. Diplo gives the track a dubstep feeling without making it overpowering. I have been digging this song lately just because of the production value, if you listen just to the production you notice the song never truly hits a climax. Check it out!
Usher – Climax

It’s that time of year again when Waldorf college comes together to make a change in the world by packaging food for families around the world that have a hard time finding nutrition in their day to day life. Kids Against Hunger packages highly nutritious, life-saving meals for starving children and malnourished children and their families in developing countries and the United States. The goal of the organization is for its meals to provide a stable nutritional base from which recipient families can move their families from starvation to self-sufficiency. Kids Against Hunger accomplishes this by mobilizing the energy and caring of American children, teens, and adults on behalf of hungry children around the world. Kids Against Hunger seeks to end the literal hunger of children receiving the meals, but also satisfies a hunger among prosperous Americans – a hunger for meaning and contribution.
If you would like to help with this great cause come on down to the Waldorf College’s Atrium, we will be here till 8pm or until we run out of supplies! Help us Help the World!

The snow is slowly melting as the temperature rises which means spring is around the corner. During this time of year I change up my music selection and turn to up beat mellow tunes. Slightly Stoopid is a band that has a very unique sound and covers many genres including punk rock, reggae rock, dub and acoustic. Despite not putting out much new music you can still find Slightly Stoopid touring and playing at various blues festivals. Check it out!

Feb 27th
I was having a hard time choosing one artist for this weeks artist of the week so I thought why not share multiple! Our first artist recently released their debut album titled “Some Nights”. The band Fun. has an extremely upbeat feel to them and in all honesty makes me happier every time i throw them on. The album has held iTunes number one spot since debuting last week. Check out Fun. with their hit single We are Young.
Fun. – We are Young (feat. Janelle Monae)

Donald Glover is an actor, writer, comedian and musician. Many people recognize Glover from the critically acclaimed show Community, where he plays a young adult named Troy going through Community College. Glover took the underground music scene by storm when he released his third self produced album “Culdesac”. I have been jamming Gambino for a while now and must say he keeps evolving, ever new song leaves me wanting more. Check it out!
Childish Gambino – Heartbeat

Feb 13th
M.I.A is one of those artists that people have heard of but don’t really recognize her music. Every song she has put out to this day is in its own category, they don’t sound like your typical music. There really isn’t a plausible way for me to describe M.I.A in a blog post so i’m going to include the video for her newest single too! Check it out!
I will someday marry this Woman!
M.I.A – Bad Girls

Kid Cudi has been one of my favorite hip hop artists since he dropped his first mixtape back in 2008. Cudi isn’t your typical hip hop artist, he puts his heart and soul into his music and makes you feel his pain through his tunes. This is Cudi’s first side project with famous producer Dot Da Genius, together the duo is known as WZRD. Here is their first single off of their upcoming CD due out in late February. Check it out!
WZRD – Teleport to Me, Jamie Feat. Desire

Wordspit the Illest is a good friend of mine straight out of Brooklyn.
If you’ve heard him, you’ve felt him! WordSpit was born and bred in East New York, Brooklyn to a young mother and a hustling musician for a father. With humble beginnings as his inspiration, WordSpit realized his gift for lyrics in the third grade and has been honing his craft ever since. Having been dubbed “WordSpit” by his brother, he set out to ensure that the verses that flew from his lips were nothing short of potent. From corners to lunchrooms, from Youtube to your television set, WordSpit’s word play has become an inescapable force that one can’t help but succumb to. Having Cannibus, Nas, and Rakim as influences, combined with an energetic and charismatic stage presence, WordSpit is the representation of everything that has been great about hip-hop in the past and takes it to the next level.
Check it out!
Wordspit The Illest – Chop Suey

30 Seconds To Mars is an amazing band as far as raw talent goes. I chose this weeks song for multiple reasons, its acoustic, it’s live and it’s a U2 cover. What more could you ask for?!
30 Seconds to Mars – Where the Streets have no names (Unplugged)

I’ve been jamming The Weeknd for a while now, well since he dropped his first mixtape/EP in the fall.
Classifying The Weeknd as RnB is wrong, i should be slapped for doing so, he blends together every feeling that goes with love, anger, sadness, regret, and most of all euphoria. Every song has this grimy undertone that just screams “dirty love making music”. I warn you now, you may want to shower after listening to any of his songs.
I chose this weeks song due to it being a Michael Jackson cover of “Dirty Diana”, Check it out below!
The Weeknd also has three albums available for download for FREE via his website!
The Weeknd – D.D (Dirty Diana)
