Macklemore

Posted on October 19, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

Hailing from the great state of Washington, Macklemore has been on my radar for a couple years now. It finally looks like people are catching on and how can you blame them when he drops records like the ‘Other side’. A remix of its original version which sampled the widely loved song by the Red Hot Chili Peppers. This song is just the beginning of what needs to be a revolution in Hip Hop. Deliberately challenging lyrics with perfect delivery, backed by excellent production and masterfully creative videos.

Macklemore released his latest full length album, ‘The Heist‘ on Oct. 9th and has been three years in the making. Virtually every show on his United States Tour is sold out. Below is the video for ‘Other side’ and his trailer for the debut of he and Ryan Lewis‘ album, ‘The Heist’

They have been recently growing in popularity and I know this song is old, but these guys are worth a listen. Bellarive puts such a refreshing spin on modern worship. Click to grab their album.

The Last Good Year

Posted on February 7, 2012 by Nicholas Weaver

This years Super Bowl was hosted by my state’s capital, Indianapolis and I was lucky enough to find some time to go down and check out the festivities. For the opening of Super Bowl Village, some friends of mine, The Last Good Year, a great Rock N Roll band, had the honor of opening up the party with some of their original tunes. Check out their video and some footage from the Super Bowl Party below!

Here is Heavyweight, their brand new single off their upcoming eight album.

Joy to the World

Posted on November 21, 2011 by Nicholas Weaver

Andrew Ripp just destroys the song, ‘Joy to the World’ giving it an amazingly clever blues feel. If all Christmas music were like this, it’d be all I listen to. Check out the video below…

Kimbra

Posted on September 29, 2011 by Nicholas Weaver

I think many people forget, that when someone with a voice like Adele comes around others get overlooked. Not this time, at least for me. There is no denying Kimbra, an artist who has such classic tastes and multi dimensional vocals . Such a breath of fresh air and deliberate creativity. I can see her on almost any kind of track from Electronic to Soul. In my opinion people need not sleep on this one!
