The Decade According to 9-year-olds

The decade according to 9-year-olds from allison louie-garcia on Vimeo.

There's some interesting stuff here as a group of 9-year-olds were interviewed on their views of the past decade. So much has changed, and there is more change to come.

9th Wonder Presents: The Fornever Movie Pt.2 from LowKey on Vimeo.

Murs and 9th Wonder! It doesn't get much better than this. See how their album is being put together. This will not definitely not be a waste of your time.

Steve Aoki Remix - Forever (by Drake)

Steve Aoki is my absolute favorite. He is son of the founder of Benihana restaurants and brother of the owner of Doraku Sushi restaurants. How could you get any better than that? Oh yeah, and his dad was also a Japanese Olympic wrestler. SO COOL. Download link below.

Chiddy Bang - Decline

Chiddy Bang's first official mixtape, "The Swelly Express," leaked October 31st. These guys are making such amazing music--and they're only sophomores in college. If you enjoy electronica or mash-ups, Chiddy Bang is for you; enjoy.

Download: Chiddy Bang - Decline

Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Otherside

From their latest EP "VS," MC Macklemore and producer Ryan Lewis bring "Otherside," mixing Red Hot Chili Pepper's song of the same name with Macklemore's steady rhythm. Macklemore represents his own personal struggle with drug addiction over the rich violins of Anthony Kiedis' recollection of his addiction to heroine. Overall it's definitely not a pick-me-up kind of song, but it's worth a listen.

Download: Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Otherside

S-Preme-Go Hard [Prod. Soundtrakk]

This beat is crazy! I think the rapping could be a little better though. I won't complain if more stuff like this comes out though.
