It’s been awhile since C+A+D has made an expansion worth an introduction. When I started this blog, I didn’t want to discriminate by genre. If it’s good, I want it on here, and I want you to hear it. I’ve been waiting for someone to come around that could fill our hip-hop void. Needless to say, the search is over and another missing piece to the puzzle that is C+A+D has been placed. Without further ado, your hip-hop fiend ends here.
As an avid follower of the site, I’m excited to be on board and spread the good tunes to all who are willing to listen. I’m a prime example of how the process of sharing taste in different genres can create passion where there was none, so I’m just hoping to pass on that spirit. As much as my taste has evolved, I’ll always have a special place for hip hop, old and new. That being said, I’ll do my best in keeping my ear to the ground to deliver the freshest tracks to your headphones and occasionally drop off an old gem that always gets my head noddin’. In the meantime, here’s a few songs i haven’t been able to stop listening to from some of the up and coming names in this scene.
Couple big releases last week — G.O.O.D. Music‘s Big Sean dropped “My Last,” the first single (featuring Chris Brown) off of his upcoming debut album, “Finally Famous: the Album.” Check it out below.
Also, one of the leaders of the independent hip-hop scene, MURS, delivered another album in the form of a collaboration with producer Terrace Martin; the two worked on a couple tracks together on “MURS for President.” The new album, “Melrose” reflects the duo’s fun, laid-back sides and can be purchased at major retailers. MURS was one of the dudes that originally got me into the scene so I always look forward to anything he puts out.
