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!

Artist of the Week 3-5-12!
Mar 5th
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!
