Timbo needs no introduction. My favorite producer hands down. His album is set to release November 23rd. The beat is tight, the chorus is sick. He runs away with this weeks honors without competition.

Yom Kippur, the holiday that caused song of the week to appear on Wednesday, is a time for reflection and forgiveness. This week’s song deserves the award because of its beautiful melody and its artistic and layered music video.
The video features a black man walking through a white, suburban neighborhood, raising everyone’s unwarranted suspicion, and plays with our preconceived notions as well. The climax of the video leaves the viewer feeling a bit guilty.
Poppiholla’s video is black and white to contrast our world around us. Not everything in life is black or white and not everyone fits into a particular box, we are all made up of different characteristics making us all unique.
The song Poppiholla sampled the song Hoppipolla by Sigur Ros, only changing the H and P to create the word Pop. It’s a soothing song that contains elements of a relaxing and progressive style.
Have a good week and meaningful week,
DJ Shnooms

Kid Cudi is a G. “Man on the Moon: The End of Day”, Cudi’s new album (dropping September 15th), has potential to be the top album of the year. This is the first time in a while that I have listened to an album and liked every song on it.
Kid Cudi is what you would get if Cee-Lo and Kanye decided to have a child. Kid Cudi’s beats, reminiscent of Kanye’s best work, incorporate real instruments with a great melody. His voice is graceful and soothing, and, like Cee-Lo, he manages to harmoniously sing while rapping.
In this song, “Simple As…”, you hear ABC in one ear and 123 in the other with tight drums added on top. Kid Cudi has just become one of my favorite rap artists alongside Cee-Lo and Timbo. Thanks.

We have a thing for Biggie mashups. The first song of the week ever was “Party and Bullshit” by Ratatat ft. Biggie’s vocals. This week, courtesy of Ddpesh, Biggie vocals from Nasty Feel and mashed it up with Justice’s remix of MGMT’s “Electric Feel”. Sounds pretty freakin tight. Mondays suck, and we’re trying to help cure your “Case of the Monday’s.”

Besides the song being great, summer is winding down and we need to glorify it as much as we can. I mean, who doesn’t love summer! Nice weather, beach, girls in sundresses, what’s not to like? This song talks about people getting giddy happy, “There’s something about sunsets and beaches though that make you think you’re in love – when you’re probably not”. While the last part can be taken negatively, it just shows how the sun brings out the happiness in everyone. You’re task: Before summer is over, watch the sunrise.
Have a great week!
And for those kids going back to college, don’t party to hard before classes start.
P.S. This is another one of those songs I’ve been watching for a while and it finally released a video. The song will be released September 21st. In addition, there have been at least 5 remixes made for the song.
A bonus P.S. A T-Shirt that signifies the beach and summer —

Kid Cudi gained his fame through entourage, debuting his hit “Day N Night” on Episode 10, Season 5. Crookers then took that beat and made a remix for the ages. Cudi used that fame to discuss issues close to his heart, like embracing martians. It’s deep kids. Kid Cudi and Crookers put up this banging song respecting the martians.
P.S. watch out for Cudi’s new song with David Guetta titled “Memories”
A chill progressive song, Fractal Universe, created by Matan Zohar, aka Mat Zo, is great for your summer listening. Your assignment is to go to the pool today, enjoy the summer weather and listen to this song. You’ll feel much happier. Enjoy
Have a great week, DJ Shnooms
Wale, not to be confused with the robot Wall-E, is a new rapper coming out of the DC metropolitan area. Not many rappers come out from this area and the last song written about this area wasn’t successful, “Put you in My Pocket”. Sampling “Na Na Hey Hey Kiss Him Goodbye” and repping DC, Wale earns the “Song of the Week” award with his song “Chillin”

Once you make one hit record, you’ve got to make another. Rocky did it. Back to the Future did it twice. And Jay-Z has done it. Coming September 11th, Blueprint 3 will be released as Jay-Z’s 11th studio album. He just released a single from the new album on Friday called “Run This Town”.
