Statik Selektah is one of the dopest producers out there. I’ve been a fan of his for a while. Freeway and Statik Selektah hook up with fellow Pennsylvanian, Mac Miller to rep their state. They sample Ja Rule’s “New York” to make it a dope track overall.

Usually when I hear about other bloggers say a particular band sound like another band, it usually ends up being trash. The only reason I even came across Dean and Ravo is because Confusion of Pigeons and Planes said they sound similar to Chiddy Bang.  The man is right, albeit Dean and Ravo have more pop in their hip-hop. I can’t help but compare them to one of my favorite duo, Chiddy Bang.

This is the first I hear of Dean and Ravo, and can’t help but think

Marky ft. XV – Is It Cool to F*ck

It’s been a while since Marky’s “Journey to Markyland: Rest Stop 3” but he’s starting off 2011 on a good note. Vizzy and Marky complement each other well on this track.

I don’t think many of the lady friends I know would think Mortal Kombat is cool, but i’d definitely try to pull off every finisher I know just to get a kiss. XV has already scored from Liu Kang and Scorpion. If you don’t know what i’m talking about, check out XV’s track called “Controller.”

I’ve never heard of Jessie Malakouti but apparently she’s the next Princess of Pop. She sounds a bit like Gwen Stefani and Britney Spears but carries that Lady Gaga-swag syndrome.

“Push it” is Jessie Malakouti’s debut single off her Jessie & The ToyBoys campaign.

This song is too catchy. “Oh, oh, oh oh, oooh. Oh, oh, oh oh, oooh. P-p-p-push it.”

Oh, sorry. Here’s the vid:

New MP3: XV – 2015

2011, The Year of the Squarians, can’t get much closer.  The Kid With the Green Backpack coming third quarter, err, maybe next year, finally?

In all seriousness, XV and Seven have collaborated to produce some great songs together. The’yre almost on that Chiddy-and-Xaphoon Jones level of Awesomeness. I’d like to know who would win in a tag-team match between XV and Seven, and Chiddy and Xaphoon.
