Review: Air Dubai & For The Foxes at The Roxy

April 11th, 2013 by | Alternative/Indie, Chill/Jam/Reggae, Hip-Hop/Rap, Rock |

10007 10151543870430519 685008914 n 600x286 Review: Air Dubai & For The Foxes at The Roxy

Last week we saw Air Dubai and For The Foxes perform at the legendary music venue The Roxy on Sunset Boulevard. For the most part it was a very solid show. However there were a few turn offs.

Air Dubai’s music is great and very cutting edge. I really love their alternative hip-hop vibe. However, their sound system and drummer were way to loud. Therefore it was really tough to hear the singers and gain a full appreciation for the music being played.

If they lowered the sound a little bit and got rid of the drummer, it would be perfect. The drummer should only be used if they ever perform at large festivals and not for small, intimate music venues. If they can fix those things I mentioned above, then their live shows will be taken to a whole other level. Below is my favorite song of theirs that they performed from the night.

Air Dubai – “All Day”:

Next up on stage was For The Foxes. I never heard of them prior to their set and in all honesty, was not much of a fan. The smooth instrumental’s were solid but the main singer seemed like he was trying too hard to be a singer from One Direction. His extremely high voice was just not cutting it for me. Maybe it’s just not my type of music. My favorite track of theirs from the night is below.

For The Foxes – “The Revolution”:

Video: Kosha Dillz – Hangin Out

February 24th, 2013 by | Hip-Hop/Rap, Music Video |

KoshaDillz 655 600x283 Video: Kosha Dillz   Hangin OutKosha Dillz recently dropped a fun new music video directed by Ricky Shabazz called “Hangin Out”. It’s a chill hip-hop track that everybody can sing along to as Kosha spits about something we all love doing, simply hanging out.

From mobbing out in Koreatown to Froyo, Hollywood Blvd. and Jewish delis, the self proclaimed Dillzionaire parades through Los Angeles all while hanging out with a mob of fans, friends and cameos that include Laker Girls and many more. The ode to kicking it comes from his forthcoming untitled record (or possibly series of EPs) that also features tracks with Gangsta Boo, Murs, Big Pooh, Wax and more.

Watch the video to “Hangin out” and download the free mp3 below.

Download: Earl Sweatshirt – Chum

November 3rd, 2012 by | Chill/Jam/Reggae, Hidden Gem, Hip-Hop/Rap |

8150645997 0e97cf5f25 Download: Earl Sweatshirt   ChumEarl Sweatshirt is one of the many members of Odd Future. Odd Future is a hip-hop collective that is led by controversial rapper, Tyler The Creator. I don’t know if it’s Earl Sweatshirt’s smooth flow or the laid back beat that is more enticing but regardless, its a great song that I can’t seem to get enough of.
