RE-FRESHing is what I call it. As many of us know, DJ’s now days have it easy peasy. Plug your lap top in, play some music, and take a picture of yourself in front of the decks – bamm you’re a DJ! Well, let’s take a few steps back into the days where things were a lot more complicated…

Happy Valentines Day.

So down with this song and vid.

He’s my fave. xo

Abel starts off the album with a cover/re-work of MJ’s “dirty diana”(kills it), and continues his 3rd (amazing) album with the beautiful sound of piano, percussion, strong words and beautiful voice.

Album leaked 2 nights ago but I will definitely still buy it on November 15th to support (how else will Drizzy be able to afford the strippers? If we don’t support, he might just stop rapping about all that good-life shit!)
Warning: listening to it will give you mad chills. The production done by 40(Drake’s producer), and a few others (Jamie Smith from “The XX”, The Neptunes, Boi-1da) is insannnnnne! 40 sampled some tracks and re-vamped them into a ridiculous vibe. Most of them are however, his (few from the other’s) very own. Lets just say the engineer knows what the hell he’s doing and he’s damn good at it doing it. There is no I in TEAM and that definitely shows through Drake and 40′s friendship/partnership in their music.Without each other, who knows what would have been?
Again, Drake raps about his exciting life stories in many words and expressions of emotion. New girls he’s been with, new dudes he’s passed by, new money he’s earned, new crib he’s bought, new music he’s conquered , new places he’s been, relationship with fam and his peeps – you know, shit like that. But it’s fucking good. It’s not always what he says, it’s the way he says it and in the form of expressing that he does it in aka: GOOD MUSIC.
OK, so I’m a fan obviously, but if you aren’t very familiar – take a listen and you might just become a little bit in love (with the music). There are also a few cameos to look forward to: Stevie Wonder, Rihanna, Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Chantal Kreviazuk and The Weeknd.
Here are a few that stood out for me (it was hard to narrow down, I seriously love ‘em all)
Over my dead body – girl Chantal Kreviazuk sounds like an angel in this one. Being the first song of the album, it shot chills down my whole body, no joke.
A little family love: “Look what you’ve done” (beautiful sound of piano and fuzz of a room full of people in the background + grandma’s recording at the end)
It’s The Motto bitch. YOLO (You only live once) – that phrase will def be over-used like a mutha’ until the next “motto” they come out with. Hey, at least it’s a good one. Carpe Diem baby, that’s the way I live life – to the fullest.
Camera’s / Good Ones Go – I like the bouncy ” how you mean, how you mean? Whatchu know about the team?” “she look like a star, but only on camera, only on camera” and the bits of background soul/r&B singing is amazing.
Crew Love feat The Weeknd: sick, ass, beat.
I will definitely practice some booty poppin to this song. Boom boom boooooommdiddy dum dumm

Goosebumps.

Would make sense to be at a strip club listening to this one…

I don’t think I will ever stop drooling over this guy right here…

New sexy Drake ish, download here: http://www.mediafire.com/?ar0d3ucbcmt8nfw

Anyone listen to the new album yet? Really good. Finally been playing it the past week; I listened to it this morning during my work out, and felt so powerful.

One of my fave’s off this album: “The Zone” – a little surprise verse from Drake near the end of the track, always a pleasure listening to his sexy voice.

This sound is so unique, I’m telling you, new generation music is killing it right now. Yup!

Download the full album HERE (appreciate the free albums while you can!)

P.S. You ever wonder what the dude looks like? We don’t see too many pictures of him around right?

Here he is…Abel Tesfaye.

These guys…

I’ve been listening to them kill it at their club nights in Vancouver, and their ridiculous mixtapes since the days I used a fake I.D, until now (not as often as before though!)

Just want to shout out

THE FRESHEST KIDS!

4 very talented guys who play a variety of music(hip-hop, rap,r&b, indie, funk, disco, reggae, dancehall etc…), each one with their own unique twist. I personally, enjoy so many different genres of music (I literally can’t choose one as my fave) so this is like, a beautiful thing for me. They are super duper cool, always fresh with style (hence the name) and very nice doods all in all from what I know!

Download their most recent mixtape called “SURF DOWN” below (it is mighty fine!):

And make sure to pop by their site for more AWESOME MUSIC!www.thefreshestdjs.blogspot.com

A couple of weeks ago I was browsing through Drizzy Drake’s blog and found out about a new Toronto-based (Woop Woop Canadian pride!) R&B artist called “The Weeknd“. Since then, he’s been flowing on my iPod repeatedly.
