Jay Rock – All My Life In the Ghetto

Posted on the March 24th, 2009 under Free iTunes Download,Hip-Hop/Rap,Music,MySpace,Single of the Week by Music Man

Jay Rock - All My Life In the Ghetto

Long Beach and Compton command attention as West Coast rap epicenters, but Jay Rock is here to put Watts on the map. The rapper caught fire through underground mixtapes and the Lift Me Up EP before blowing up with “All My Life in the Ghetto.” It’s a biographical tale of Jay Rock’s come-up inside and outside his native Nickerson Gardens projects. Backed by sweet strings and a sung hook, “All My Life” stacks up nicely against Biggie’s “Juicy” and the Game’s “Hate It or Love It,” but with an upgrade: Lil Wayne drops a sick, 16-bar cosign.

Unique – What’s Good

Posted on the September 15th, 2008 under Free iTunes Download,Latino,Music,MySpace,Single of the Week by Music Man

Unique - What's Good

The three Dominican Americans who make up Unique grew up on a mixture of bachata, salsa and hip-hop. Bachata’s influence is heard in those requinto guitars which are pitched a bit higher than your traditional guitars. The trio’s back-and-forth melodies are straight-up R&B, while the entire track is a light, percussive groove. If you like this song, check out the the full-length album.

The Lost Trailers – Holler Back

Posted on the August 25th, 2008 under Country,Discovery Download,Free iTunes Download,Music,MySpace,Ringtones by Music Man

The Lost Trailers - Holler Back

Too bad that the Lost Trailers’ “Holler Back” wasn’t released a few months earlier. Otherwise, it very well could have been a strong dark horse for single of the summer. Opening with sassy fiddle and a humorous spoken word verse, this modern country gem builds up to a chorus featuring not only a tight backing vocalist but call and response shouts. So give “Holler Back” a listen and extend your summer — at least in spirit!

Gran Ronde - Wisdom

Though they’re from the West Coast, Gran Ronde sounds as if they’d fit right in playing alongside Bloc Party or Interpol. The band’s debut album, Secret Rooms, shows off a melodic, post-punk sound with 11 tightly produced songs (including bonus track “Control”). “Wisdom” is one of the more upbeat singles, with its jangly guitars, catchy hooks, and sentimental lyrics about love lost.
