Fall For Your Type cover by Erika David

Yuuup, Erika David is my girl crush and I'm not afraid to admit it! lol Her voice is awesome and her style is untouchable. She covers Jaime Foxx's "Fall For Your Type" which I feel she does extremely well. She also shows off her little acting skills... not too shabby. Take a look!

Why I lost interest in...

... Wiz khalifa :|

I know it's been out for a while, but those of you that haven't seen it, take a look.



A freestyle should be just that... a freestyle off the top of your head. Not a rhyme written down on your iPhone or Blackberry *ahem*DRAKE*ahem* We should all hold a certain criteria to the "rappers" we take an interest to. And if they can't hold down a simple one minute freestyle, you might wanna think twice about calling them your favorite rapper.

Radical Magical

Haven't heard of Asher Roth x DJ Wreckineyez' Radical Magical yet? Then get to know it because it's a series of podcasts that they started about two weeks ago. Main point of these podcasts? Thrownin' some awesome music at us. Asher Roth says it right in the first podcast, "I'm a fan first and so is Wreckineyez, that's why we're here. We love hip hop music. We love good music." Same reason why the dix & chix started this blog. We love our share of good music and what else can we do than share it with you. Here are the first two Radical Magical podcasts... Be sure to come back to catch the others! :)

Look At Me Now (Cover by Karmin)

I came across this while procrastinating and LMAO!! This was one hell of a cover. You wouldn't expect this band (Karmin) to give Chris Brown's single a new kind of "je ne sai quoi" flavor to it. But they did. They delivered. And homegirl has a really nice voice.. If you head over to their page, you can view other videos of them covering songs like "I Need A Doctor" by Eminem, "Just The Way You Are" by Bruno Mars, "What's My Name" by Drake (yes, I said Drake b/c I refuse to taint this blog with her name) or "Set Fire To The Rain" by Adele. Aside from obvious talent they have (don't lie to yourself, you know they're good), they have fun doing these covers so check them out!



BONUS: Because I REALLY liked their version.

Car Keys & Rabbit’s Feet Release; "Breaker, Breaker" [Video[

FINALLY!! The 87 Stick Up Kids announced their release of their album, Car Keys and Rabbit's Feet. They teamed up with Mishka and said they will release it May 3rd exclusively on their site for free! I have been waiting for this album for a while now, so I'm pretty excited. Also, they premiered their music video "Breaker, Breaker" on Mishka's site.
"Filmed in New York while we were in the city for CMJ last fall, the clip for Breaker Breaker, directed by our homie Justin DuBose, matches Ro BLVD’s ‘80s inspired 808 beats with gritty black and white footage of Nash and Deacon rapping in the subway. As the chorus kicks in, the video flips to color and Rockwell and Squish (and the rest of our NY army) join the crew to show you late night NYC through our bleary eyes. We had an amazing time shooting this bad boy guerrilla style and we feel like you can really see that in the look and the feel of video."
I love that SK87 and Ro Blvd. teamed up. This song is a little less "party rap", but it definitely still has their vibe. Check it out below!

Bruno Mars - The Lazy Song [VIdeo]



I love this little short man. Anyway, this video was pretty much a carefree, "lazy" video, that made sense and didn't at the same time (if that makes sense lol). With Poreotics in the monkey masks, they give us a few choreography that goes seamlessly to the song.

Throwback Thursday



... Because I heard this song on the radio after not hearing it for years!!!

Nick Ferrer Presents Movie: The Mixtape

I was definitely impressed with the intro to this mixtape. After the introduction, you immediately get the feel of what kind of music he was about to play throughout it. With almost an hour of dance, techno, and remixes like people from LMFAO to Cee-Lo Green to Britney Spears, this mix will appeal to anyone and everyone. This is one to play to get ready for a night out or even during finals week to stay up. His first mixtape was a hit for me, and this one is another homerun. Download: Movie: The Mixtape

Pac Div - Anti-Freeze (music video)



Check out Pac Div's latest video to their song "Anti-Freeze".

((To my chix: I squealed a little inside X) LMAO!))

Speaking of...

Thurzday, you may be wondering "Hey! What about Y-O?" Last week, Yonas went to twitter to explain why he wasn't at Paid Dues when it was originally planned that U-N-I was going to perform... This tweet explains it all.



Speaking on behalf of the Chix of this blog, we were all pretty saddened by it. They were kind of the reason why we made the blog... But all we can say is we hope for the best for each of them and hopefully one day (in a perfect world), they'll be U-N-I once again.

Thurzday - "Los Angeles" Wheatpaste

Above shows Thurzday practicing his solo debut at Paid Dues, that happened earlier this month, and putting up his posters around the streets of Los Angeles.. If you like what you heard, click the link below and download it. Download: Los Angeles

The ’87 Stick Up Kids (ft. Amanda Blank and Micah James) x Afrojack – “Psycho Killer (Rad Omen Edit)”



So I knew who Amanda Blank was, but I never really listened to her music... All I can say is I love the boys in this song, but Amanda Blank KILLED them with her verse. I think I may have developed a new girl crush =X
