Yup almost as if it were Christmas.... but Not. With the Holidays right around the corner here are a few good ones that you should check out for yourself or even a loved one. Nothing says Merry Xma- HanuKwanzaa-kah like a good ol hip hop or r&b Itunes gift card. (side note, do people still buy cds?? If so, then get that too) As previously stated, I am not the God of all things music. Theses are just a few suggestions that God of ALL things in Heaven and Earth equipped me with the insight to check out and share with you. So in a way I'm kinda posting on his (or her) behalf and if you don't check these out you're kinda pissing away your blessing from God... I'm just sayin...

The Drop:
Triune
Arguably if not the best, one of the best emcees the underground market has to offer. Triune works relentlessly to maintain an exceedingly high level of respect on the streets of Southern California. Through the channels of radio drops, mp3 pools, tours, and independent label releases, Triune has earned himself a household name in Southern California. His career started at the young age of 13 recording demos, entering and winning countless emcee battles and releasing independent albums. After inking his first recording contract with Antagonist/Image Records in 2004, Triune released a group album entitled “Footsoldiers Live This” in 2006, was featured on KRS-One’s “Life” album in 2007, was featured on the soundtrack for the motion picture “Pathology” with the lead single entitled “Unintended Consequences,” and release a Hip-Hop/Punk/Electronica album entitled “Legion of Doom vs. Triune.” With numerous appearances on Power 106’s “The Wake Up Show”, radio drops in regular rotation on 95.5 KDAY, 99.1 KGGI in the Inland Empire, a victory on BET’s “Freestyle Friday, releasing many street albums, touring with national acts such as KRS-One, De La Soul and Talib Qweli, Triune has already established a huge following and a great foundation for his career. In September of 2010 Triune released his debut album “Celebration EP.” The “Celebration EP” was a independent success receiving close to 10,000 total downloads including singles. 2012 is going to be an exciting year for Triune. He’s releasing his second album entitled “I’m In It To Win It EP,” the third installment of his mixtape series God’s Plan III – Supremacy, and the sequel to the “Celebration EP” entitled “Celebrate Again.” Stay tuned as the future is promising for this young artist. As many would and have said, it’s only a matter of time.

This week Selections:
The Game - Jesus Piece

He wrong for that album cover but his shit was better than I expected. For some strange reason I always expect his albums to be a let down and then they always turn out to be bangers! This one is no exception. Some may discredit the quality of the album due to all the features moreover the specific features he chose. It was like he sat down and made a list of everyone who is popular and or hot right now and said, "yes, he too shall be on the album". But you can't be too mad at the album if the shit is full of knock in the whip worthy tracks. This shit go.

Some of you may remember this kat from a track he spit with Wiz Khalifa when he was with Taylor Gang...... No? OK well He still is a credible source of decent hip hop. This is a fair balance of mild backpacker under ground and not too popcorn rap shit. This work actually reminds me of the shit I used to like from Wiz before he got large. And no, Im not one of those people that starts hatin on a dude soon as they get large I merely prefer quality and consisteny. Back to this dude, This piece is a clear example that its real shit out there if you look for it.

I gotta be honest I saw this and was like, "well its may not be great but at least I tried. But after the first two tracks I was sold. To my knowledge I'm not related to this Las Vegas kat but I like his style. He on some striving man with flaws type of flow. Its real lyrics with just enough flare for the "swag junkies" On every song it can be easily perceived as coming from a real place. The whole mixtape got that kick back wit a 40oz and play some dominoes kinda tempo.
Chrisette Michele- Audrey Hepburn: An Audiovisual Presentation
I simply lover her voice. The tone and the soothing vibe she creates on every song is just refreshing. There aren't really a lot of songs on the track but its still cool. Its not your everyday jam out kinda music but in the proper setting this is a pretty decent piece to chill to. It has a half R&B half uptempo indie feel to it. That "Pray Me Well" is NICE tho!!
Bruno Mars- Unorthodox Jukebox
Aight So I know what you're thinkin..... Bruno Mars??? Really tho???? Well,.... yea maybe you're right but it all depends on your style of music. I guess I needed a filler and its got that uptempo weeknd kinda vibe to it. If you cant get wit pop music in any shape form or fashion you shouldnt even waste your time. But it aint THAT. Parents, if your youngin ask for this on Christmas you might wanna cop it at Walmart.com or the clean version. Its got a few cocaine outburst here and there. One track he singing about how a girl is his treasure and next minute he singin about how he wants to gorilla fuck her. ( I shit you not, Track 3 its called "Gorilla") Now on the other hand if you enjoy pop music you will be jamin the fuk out to this in your metallic aqua Prius.
