Chiddy Bang: All Things Go

Chiddy Bang brings to you a fresh track and album. The Preview EP has brought these artists out of the shadows to show them the true lime light, ”liberating them from the underground, giving those who aren’t mixtape friendly a taste of their infectious indie-rock-meets-hip-hop style.” Blow up this track All Things Go and listen a song that brings beats from the beatmaker,  Xaphoon Jones and lyrical raps from Chiddy.

Presenting you on this Friday with a song that has a beat with true originality. Macklemore and Ryan Lewis released this track mid last year, but the video is finally available.

Macklemore is a genuine  rapper and as he puts it: I believe that as musicians, it’s our responsibility to pay homage to the people that made us who we are. For me, Niehaus was an imperative part of not only my upbringing, but of Seattle’s unique history and culture.

Falling Whistles and DVLP Clothing have teamed up to present a mind blowing fundraiser to help rehabilitate children of the Congo. In need of an adventure Falling Whistles found their way off the beaten path where they discovered the war affected children in the worlds largest war, in the heart of the Democratic Republic of the Congo. Children which were too small to carry guns were given different weapons; whistles.

The Falling Whistles campaign launched with a simple response – make their weapon your voice and be a whistleblower for peace in Congo.

This March 26th, 2011, a music and art festival will be held in order to raise awareness for these children affected by war. It will kick off with an Art Show; local artists have created art work surrounded by what inspired them from the cause of Falling Whistles. Later that night join us for the Falling Whistles Music Festival where there will be performances by: PLACES, The Royal Heist & Take to the Oars.

Tini Tempah – Wonderman (feat. Ellie Goulding)

Even though this is set to be released on March 7th, the Song is climbing charts over in the UK and Tini Tempah is making a name for himself. With Ellie Goulding doing her thing, it goes to show they compliment each other nicely. This is one solid song from an artist who is not yet well none. With influences of pop, rock, electronic and enticing lyrics, Tini may just rise to be the next best thing.
