In “Moments Like These” BLUEfiveone expresses the size of the sacrifice he’d make for the happiness of a loved one. With lyrics like “…for you to keep your smile I’d skin my knees to the core…” we are easily reminded to cherish the great times. For those are the memories that get us through the tough spots, and onto the sunshine waiting around the corner.
Wow we haven’t done this in a while, mostly because on Saturday I’m busy doing something else. Anyways, the latest Sampled Saturday are songs from November 2011 but next week’s Sampled Saturday are going to be new bangers!
First we got a Red Hot Chili Peppers sample from Kid Riz. Kid Riz flips RHCP’s “Can’t Stop”, utilizing the banging guitar riff for the beat and weaving in the chorus from the RHCP classic. It’s a must-listen if you like hip-hop and RHCP.

So if you haven’t heard, The Five One broke up in 2011 and formed two seperate music entities from the breakup: RDGLDGRN and BLUEfiveone. RDGLDGRN has an alternative sound with a little less hip-hop but with a better quality production behind it. BLUEfiveone‘s sound right now has been rapping over sampled beats from other artists. Out of all his releases, my favorite was how he flipped Paramore and the guitar mixed with the beat is real smooth. It’s a solid song but I’m not sold on BLUEfiveone just yet until hearing some original material.

Next comes a rapper who has support from Pretty Lights music with his remix/freestyles he’s doing. His name is Jay Fresh, and in this “Otis” remix by SuperVision, Jay Fresh proves he’s a must-watch rapper with superior rap skills over a banging quality remix from SuperVision.

Lastly here’s the party pop track to get you in the mood to party. IanJ samples some awesome sounding yet generic beat, raps alright over it and has a solid party vibe through the song. I dig it and look forward to more hip-pop tracks from IanJ.
