You know sometimes how a video can make you like a song even more...well this is it. Not that it wasn't a good song before, but the visuals go perfectly with the words. A lotta guys can probably relate to Fab in this role.
Real in-depth interview with the guys. They talk about the album, their clothing line, being inspired by Pharell and BBC, solo projects, and some after party money, LOL.
Til The Casket Drops in Stores Now! Go Get It!
Im a little late, but I chuckled at this one...
I came across this dude recently and I must say, he impressed me a lot. It also helped that I heard of him through a few people whose opinions I trust so I kinda figured he had something good. After listening for myself, I was sold! Hello world, I introduce you to JIGG! representing for all of Dade county.

Vivica Fox plays the crazy girl role a little too well! LoL
I'm a bit late blogging about this one even though I've been pushing it on twitter since it released. It deserves more face time imo so here goes. Kevin Cossom is an accomplished singer/songwriter having worked with a who's who of artists in the industry. He showcases his talent to the fullest on this EP which is a must listen. Its better than most of your favorite RnB artists full album. I cant imagine what the album's going to sound like after such a poignant first step.

I've been waiting patiently for this video to be released, and FINALLY! I think this vid is real dope and can possibly push this song further than before. Without futher ado...
What's good yall? Its ya favorite bloggers favorite blogger. I been super M.I.A, no Paper Planes...but its not for nothing (I hate double negatives! lol). Been working really hard on my music, been really hard doing the whole 9-5 thing (for another week at least lol) now its time to take a few weeks to myself, no work, just me, my music, and my thoughts. Things can either go really well, or really bad when I'm left alone to think lol.
Anyway, enough about me. I'll be updating the blog over the next few weeks. Gonna change up the format a little, new layout in the works. New domain name coming soon. I'm a do it BIG for 2010. And if you weren't paying attention before, trust you will be now...
This video is crazyyyy!!!!!! I like how they take the extreme Jamaican dancehall culture and make it somewhat artistic by adding the colors and other dimensions. Vybz Kartel's voice makes a cameo in the song also LOl.
Whats good ppls? Long time no speak. I kno you missed me, even if you dont want to admit it. LOL. Sorry for being away so long. Had a lot take place over the past month. I got back from my to New York a coupe weeks ago. New York was definitely fun. Its actually somewhere I could see myself living in the future. We'll see how that goes. Anyways, I got a new computer recently, finally joined the Macbook Pro ranks lol. I'm gonna be doin some updating to the blog over the next few weeks so please bear with me. Im gonna personalize my page, and make it more ME.

So...the AC in the house broke the other day, but I had some mixing and stuff to do on some beats. If this isn't determination and grind, Idk what is. It was over 85 degrees in the studio but I could care less. Work still has to get done right? Remind me never to try this again tho lol.
Inspiration! YESSS!
Nice way to come back on the blog IMO. Thought this was pretty dope

Whats good ppls? I know I've been neglecting to post some new stuff on my blog for a min now, and my views and all that suffered greatly. To the few ppl that checked regularly, I'm sorry for falling off for a little. I promise to try and keep you up-to-date from time to time, it just wont be as often. I'm gonna be posting stuff maybe once a week or more if I feel inspired to. Part of the problem was a lack of inspiration to post things. I didn't want to keep posting the same vids/songs you could find elsewhere. I wanna starting putting more of myself on here so I took the time to put in more work in the studio. The stuff that I've come up with so far has been good, but super top-secret at the moment so I cant put it out there yet. Soon and very soon tho.
In the mean time, in between time...you can find me on twitter @mariginthemix
"One day it will all make sense..." Trust!
Watching this performance gave me chills. I'm definitely gonna try and go see her and Kanye on tour this summer.
This is my ALL time favorite Michael Jackson Video. It was like a movie to me. His videos were always on point. Definitely a big inspiration to myself, and us all

This post has been a long time coming. I've been using the same pics online and stuff for years. My old twitter pic was from a party I was at like 4 years ago LOL. So it was about time that I got some updated ones (I think my stalkers would like that, LOL). I hooked up with my super talented amazing friend Mo'Nique to update my pics the other day. The pics came out really fly IMO...I can't thank her enough for helping me get a new look. And without further ado...
Once again, thanks to Nique for the photos. Check out her blog as well...cuz I said so. No, but for real. It's one of the ones that I actually check out. Support my homie.

This is slightly a big deal for me. This is the first, very FIRST time that I am putting my self out there. On my blog, for the world to see. To be honest, I've kinda been scared of doing that. Like I work hard on what I do, so I used to be sensitive about letting people hear it because then they can take it and do whatever and say whatever about it. But that's beauty of making music. Not everybody is going to like it. I think I was too concerned with trying to please people before. Now I'm starting to work for myself, and to please myself first and foremost. If I do my best with it, then it matters not what anyone else says. This is ONLY the first of many to come. Now that I got my first personal post out there, I think I will be more liberal from now on. Oh boy! Are you all ready to hear and see more of me? I sure hope so, because you don't have a choice! MUAHAHAHAHAHA (EVIL LAUGH) LOL
If you are serious about becoming an artist (or in the industry period imo), then you should probably pay attention.
I really like the part where he's like, "your favorite artists that you know and like have trainers..."

LMAO..."Can we call Kobe after the games?" Ouch!
A couple verses of this video got released in the past few days. Here's the full version. I didnt realize Kanye directed it himself.
I DIRECTED THIS VIDEO FOUR YEARS AGO BUT I WASN'T SATISFIED WITH IT SO I NEVER RELEASED IT. BUT NOW LOOKING BACK AT IT I LIKE IT.
Pretty dope. I remember when I heard this on College Dropout. I wanted to F**K my manager up back then too. I remember I was always getting into fights with the dude.
Keep grinding, keep working hard, keep dreaming of a better day, and put your all into making your dreams come to life.

"There's some nice girls in this park btw. Girl right there got some wild tight pants on..." LOL
FINALLY we get a video treatment for this song!
Rhi Rhi in the video sexing it up in her little black thingy. Idk what its called but yea...sexy.
These commercials crack me up! "Who's asking these questions? NOBODY!" LMAO
Hey y'all. I know I haven't been posting as much as I used to recently, and I would like to apologize for those who read and follow my posts. I've been a bit busy recently, on the road every weekend and working all day during the week. I promise I will make time in the coming weeks tho to keep you all updated on whats going on with me and the music scene in general.
One thing I'm going to start doing, is making it a bit more personal. I know some of you don't really know me, you know what kinda music I like from what I post but I'm a start putting some of the things that I'm getting into on here as well.
Ok I'll stop talking now. Enjoy this vid. Has to be one of my favorite beats of ALL time. Clipse came with that sick flow on this joint.
This is what I've been doing...Grindin!!!

This song makes me want to go to Africa. T.I.A.
K'naan is a pretty good artist. Idk why he's not getting more play. His album, Troubador is on imeem for free, take a listen.
I love this record. I saw the video yesterday on Vh1 while I was getting ready for work. Dopenessity!
From Kanye
I think I'm in love with Lady GaGa! Like for real...her talent is sexy! You see how she is dancing full out, and still composed enough to sing without sounding out of breath? Amazing! I want to work with her one day. Hopefully soon
This has to be one of the funniest videos I've seen in a while. This is wrong on so many levels. LMAO!!!
"I would be honored to be your stepfather..." eww lol
This record is HUGENORMOUS! Like, for real. This is one of, if not Cassie's best song so far imo. If you don't already know it, check the record here. What do you think of the song?

I remember watching this video back in the day and thinking how dope the titles on the screen were and how different it was, and apparently that was the same reason it didn't get more play in the first place. How ironic? Lol. The Common - Corners video had the same kind of gritty feel to it to me.
This video never got played because I refused to remove the titles on it. They said people will think a TV show is going off and I said that's the whole point. Wow... even only 3 videos in to the game.... I refused to compromise my vision.

She's taken the world by storm. And with each performance and appearance, she's growing her fan base almost literally one fan at a time!
Goo goo GaGa lol.
YOOOO!!!! This is so dope! I like how the pic has the effect of being tripled (idk what thats called) but yea.
Spotted this over on Kanye's blog
This is one of my favorite joints at the moment. Good to see a live version. My favorite part is at 3:04. Wish I was Ye right there lol
First off let me apologize. I apologize for being selfish and not letting y'all know about this before today. Got this tape like a month ago, and been bumping some of the joints since then. I think she's pretty dope. However she looks in real life, I don't care cuz her voice is sexy lol.

One of my favorite songs of the Asleep In The Bread Aisle Album gets a dope video treatment.
Super producer No I.D talks about working with Kanye on Blueprint 3.
"Its like 808s, but more hip hop..."
Sounds interesting. I dont know how Jay would sound on 808 type joints. Guess we'll just have to wait and see huh?

Lady GaGa is dope...sometimes it looks like she's on dope tho lol. One thing she is however, is super talented as evidenced by this video. I admit, when I heard 'Just Dance' I thought she could possibly be a one-hit wonder, but oh was I wrong.

Here's a quick vid of R. Les previewing a new track he's been working on. Sounds nice so far, sounds like its done to me but you know how musicians are.
Performing the hit single of Lupe Fiasco's The Cool @ the University of Florida. Thanks again to Ashley for the pics.
Got this a few days ago. Nice track. Not a solid single for him tho imo.

Some dopeness for the Cudi fans out there. He jumps on the remix to an already dope track and imo kills it. Wonder what's next to come from the work he's doing with will.i.am

Drake shut it down with this song. They should do a video for this joint if they haven't done so already. Read more for more pics from the show. Thanks to my homie Ashley and her floor seats for the pics lol.
