The latest from Black Hippy crew member Kendrick Lamar from an unspecified album. Last year Lamar released Section.80 which garnered him bounteous amounts of acclaim from various sources, including myself. He’s an absolute natural and his confidence on every single track resonates loudly. I wouldn’t be mad if the dark Cartoon and Cereal appeared on [...]

One of my favourite new bands back in 2007/2008 were New York indie rockers, The Virgins. Their self-titled debut album from 2008 is still one of my favourite pick-me-up albums. Just last week, the band shared a link to their Bandcamp on their Facebook page. To my surprise, The Virgins provided a stream and free [...]

Not even half way into the year and I’m already picking bests. Chairlift’s third album Something is an exceptional listen full of sultry, easy vocals by Caroline Polachek. Everything she sings sounds so smooth, precise and felt matched perfectly with the modernized 80′s like beat. Below is another cut from the album called Take It [...]

Iconic vocalist Whitney Houston has died at the age of 48. The cause of her death is still unknown. The signer was reportedly found unresponsive in a hotel bathroom in Beverly Hills at the time when paramedics arrived. First Michael, then Amy, now Whitney. It seems the most legendary of signers are passing and it’s [...]

Frankie Rose was a former member of acts such as Crystal Stilts, The Vivian Girls and The Dum Dum Girls. As of 2010 she began to write and distribute her music as a solo artist and I can’t say she made the wrong choice. Night Swim has been floating around for awhile now but I [...]

I was pretty big on New Orleans rapper Juvenile in the late 90′s, early 2000′s. He incorporated humor, grit and sex and was also one of the many to herald in the sub genre of “Dirty South” rap. His latest, Mardi Gras is interesting in that he sounds much better, but not much like himself. [...]

I was on a huge Missy Elliott binge for about 2 weeks in January and I was wondering when/if Missy will be releasing a new album. To my surprise, this past week Timbaland tells MTV News that he and Missy Elliott are both working on solo records and are looking to release new music soon. [...]

Earl Sweatshirt easily had the most anticipated release from the Odd Future clique. He’s finally returned home from a long stay in Samoa and dropped a new single upon receiving 50,000 Twitter followers. The track is poignantly titled Home and can be streamed HERE from the rappers website. You can also follow him on Twitter [...]

Check out Neon Indian’s music video for his latest single, “Fallout”. The video is said to be an homage to 80′s cartoons and sexy commercials. I suppose the cartoon babe in the video is a babe up until the last 3 seconds fo the video. The band is currently preparing for a North American tour [...]

Syd tha Kyd interests me not only for being the lone female in a hard tongued rap collective but also because her music is so distinctively her. She is now under the moniker “The Internet” with fellow Odd Future producer Matt Martians where they warp their take on hip hop and R&B. Purple Naked Ladies [...]

I had the chance to listen to the new album by Toronto based duo Trust which is noted as being “tales of lust, wax, and erotomania” by their label Arts and Crafts. Below is a cut from that album TRST which will be released on February 28. Trust- F.T.F Share and Enjoy:

If the stress of school doesn’t kill me, the drives from Toronto to Windsor in the snow will. On the trip back today this song played on the radio and got stuck in my head. Lower Dens upcoming album is set to release May 1st just in time for the short summer break I get. [...]

I was skeptical upon hearing that Kid Cudi was going to release an alternative rock album even though all his music has always been in his own category. Teleport 2 Me, Jamie is the first from his band WZRD which also consists of producer Dot da Genius. It’ll take some digesting but I’m definitely interested [...]

With all the bad press after her SNL stint I can’t help but assume Lana and her press people leaked the album to shut people up. Well it worked because this track is BANANAS. Lana Del Rey- Radio Share and Enjoy:

Since the 2011 release of Peso, I’ve been watching and liking everything Harlem rapper A$AP Rocky has been doing. He’s the perfect mix of new and old school to me due in part to his east coast/southern coast style. Being that this was my first show of 2012, I was antsy and even decided to [...]

I think it’s safe to say that all the writers here at AWmusic are huge fans of Miike Snow and of Lykke Li. These musically talented Swedes are pretty amazing on their own. We didn’t expect anything less than perfection from this match made in heaven musical collaboration. “Black Tin Box” is the third track [...]
