[STREAM] Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – “Make The Money” Posted: 06 Nov 2011 05:12 PM PST but if that’s what i believe in, and the reason that i rap, uncle sam is my pimp when he puts me on the track The best thing about having contributors to this little blog I started is being turned onto stuff from them. It was an early post from Joel at tipped to Macklemore & Ryan Lewis, and eventually to one of the best remixes of 2010 (and it’s heavy video). Since then I have kept an eye on Macklemore, tracking his growing success and continued tackling of real life stories in his rhymes. I like his honesty and his willingness to admit his faults and talk about heavy s*** he has been through. Macklemore & Ryan Lewis – Make The Money (Buy at iTunes) New jam “Make The Money”‘s message of integrity above all could easily seem a little heavy-handed but something about Macklemore’s attitude makes me fine with it. Even recent super-cheesy anti-consumerism anthem “Wings” is the good kind of cheesy. But what I like even more than Macklemore’s honesty, is that he knows how to have fun too. Unlike a lot of preachy rappers, he doesn’t stick to one heavy handed note. Thanks to Dave at Fairly Coherent, I saw this perfect example of Macklmore leting his “hair” down in his latest video for “And We Danced” (below). Capital F-U-N. I bet this guy’s live shows go off the chain. Good thing he is on tour now! Artist links: Facebook / Soundcloud

[EP] Dave Edwards – The World Is Ours Posted: 06 Nov 2011 01:19 PM PST ♫ Dave Edwards – The World Is Ours Dave Edwards, a 26 year old music producer and DJ from New York has become somewhat of a TBE Remix Roundup regular these days.  After a slew of successful remixes, Edwards has dropped an EP on us full of bouncy electronic beats.  Given a few listens, this EP shows us that Mr. Edwards is just getting warmed up. ♫ Dave Edwards – Dance The Night Away ♫ Dave Edwards – Never See Tomorrow feat. Silver Medallion The EP download is free, but if you can, buy it on iTunes.  Go show him some love on Facebook too, how he has less than 200 likes at this point is beyond me. Artist Links: Facebook
