JayeL Audio 3-7-14 from jayelaudio on 8tracks Radio. I don’t know about you, but this month was essentially music overload for me. New albums from St. Vincent (artful and excellent), Pharrell (enjoyable and breezy) and Kid CuDi (awful, I guess I should be surprised anymore), plus fresh, new discoveries from Cathedrals, Plastic Plates and Mr […]

So many albums, so little time… #11 Local Natives-Hummingbird (Spotify) The departure of a band member can crush some acts, but Local Natives persevered with the help of The National’s Aaron Dessner.

Oh well, I had a hard enough time narrowing […]

MP3: Mac Miller & Pharrell-Glow
Mac Miller & Pharrell’s latest collabo from the terribly titled Pink Slime EP. “Glow” features the unexpected duo rhyming bravado over a stuttering high hat and sample-filled track I’m certain will be stuck in my head for the rest of the day. Mac Miller & Pharell-Glow (.mp3 via Mac Miller Twitter)
You’ll notice Kid Cudi and K’Naan made both lists, but couldn’t land the top spot here because Raekwon stuck to his hip-hop roots. As an overall album, I like Cudi’s better, but Raekwon owned this list from a hip-hop perspective. 5. Drake – So Far Gone Mixtape Arguably one of the most successful mixtapes in […]
