Music has always been a big part of my life. Growing up my dad was in a band and has been influential in my love for all genres of music. Here you can find all the music I love from MKE and beyond.

Fly Phoenix - Promises
I just recently found myself getting into their music cause I had some of the guys from the band on The Lexi Trenee Show. I love this song and I've loved it from the moment I heard it. I can't stop listening to it. I can't wait to see them perform it live.

Proph In My96
I've been a fan of the song since Wool Over My Eyes came out and I think this video is awesome. It made me laugh a little and the song features one of my favorite MKE artists Klassik. Check it out.
Klassik - Anything
I just love this song so much...I had to listen to it a couple times to get it but I totally relate to it. I love the video too. I think it's different and a little exciting. Good job to Klassik. Make sure you follow him on Twitter to stay current with him @IAmKlassik.
Lady Sabo - Voices
She's one of the most lyrically talented female emcees in MKE and this is my joint. She goes hard....check out the visual.

Wiz Khalifa - Stu
I can say that ever since I heard this song it has easily become my favorite Wiz song. The beat goes so hard to me and I love the way he spits on it. The fact that there is a video for this song made me love it even more. Every time this song comes on, I can never play it only once.

Big Fab/B.U - That's Crazy
My BlackWorld peeps did it again with this one....I love B.U and Big Fab on this track....check out the dope video done by BLB....
The Cranberry Show - Traffic Lights
If you know me then you know that TCS is my favorite to come out of MKE....I just love their music so much and the fact that it's them and what they wanna do. They don't try to be like anybody else and they rock for that. I loved Paranormal Karaoke and Traffic Lights is one of the reasons why. Check out the video....
Pizzle - How 2 Jack
One of my favorite tracks from one of my favorite MKE emcees....you know when it's Pizzle cause his delivery is unlike anyone else in the city. He cold too....
Boys Like Britain - I Smoke
This should have been up here...this is my ish. My homegirl BLB made a banger and I can mos def relate to this.....Big ups to Black World doing the thang right now #yare
Amerika's Addiction - Lights
#dowhatyoudesire is what they promote and I love it....I'm a big fan of their music and they put on one of the livest performances I've ever experienced. Check out their latest video....
Rememdy DaKure - Grafitti
This is one of my favorite MKE artists and I know this girl is going places....make sure you download her mixtape MEDS at 40milbeats.bandcamp.com.
Remember You
I think that this was a dream come true of mine....for two of my favorite artists to come together and make a song especially this song....I love it. I can't get enough of it. Wiz Khalifa and The Weeknd made me proud.

Streetz N Young Deuces - Just Like That

So Dope
Nova $tylez is at it again....5/11 videos off of his soon to be released #DopeAzzMixtape....love this track
Wednesday, June 13, 2012
Beanz - This Is For You
So not only does she rap and sing, but I just found out that she tap dances too. I think that's pretty dope. As a rapper I like her delivery and stage presence. And the fact tha she can sing as well really made me a fan. We're expecting a mixtape from her in July and as soon as I get more music, I'll be posting it for everyone. Here's the video for her single "This Is For You." I'm looking forward to working with Beanz and hearing more of her music.

The Epitome
The movement #SupportLocalMusic is in full effect and Qewl Miles gets major props for his latest mixtape The Epitome. I downloaded it and once I hit play I didn't have to skip through any tracks. I was very pleased at what I heard. I like a good groove and you could nod your head to every track. I'm pretty sure my favorite beat used was "Set The Bar" but my favorite song is "Highest High." I look forward to doing some work with Qewl Miles in the near future, you guys will be hearing about him and you can download the mixtape at http://www.mediafire.com/file/0lw1dzy7qqq225s. You won't be disappointed.
Here's the video for "Don't Call It A Comeback" off The Epitome

Emeli Sande'
I just discovered her on youtube and I'm glad I clicked on her video....this girl can sing and upon further research she's a great songwriter too. She's written for many artists, more over sees but boy am I glad she's writing for herself now. I have to listen to some more of her music but I really like the song "My Kind Of Love." It's a really pretty song.
Somebody That I Used To Know
I heard this song on the radio one day and I love music that sounds different than what's being played. I had no idea what he was saying except..."now you're just somebody that I used to know." I love the song even more now that I know all of the lyrics....if you've ever been in love then you can relate to this song especially if you've had your heart broken. I would call this therapy for me. I will defenitely be getting more into both Gotye and Kimbra's music.

Black Girl
My homie Nova $tylez dropped the fourth of eleven videos off his #DopeAzzMixtape which will be dropping this summer, Black Girl. He went and got my homegirl Natasha Nafrini to feature in the joint. I dug the song from the first time I heard it. I'm a big fan and not just cause he's the homie but because he's a dope artist. The song is positive too, I love that he pays homage to black girls and not b-----s. Big ups homie.

A Time To Love
A few years back Stevie Wonder put out this amazing album and I find myself listening to it more than ever today. Stevie Wonder is a legend and he did not fail us with this album. All the songs are incredible. My favorite is probably If Your Love Cannot Be Moved with Kim Burrell. Just listen to the song and you'll know why. If you've never heard this album, I suggest you check it out. Other songs like Sweetest Somebody I Know and Moon Blue contribute to its greatness.

Conversations With Lexi featuring Ja'Rahn Leveston
This is the first installment of Conversations with Lexi and I wanted to kick it off with Ja'Rahn. He's one of my favorite artist in the city, a really humble guy, and I enjoyed being able to introduce him to those of you who may not know who he is. Thanks to Oh James for making the interview possible and enjoy.

Marlee D- Tell Him
I dare you to tell me that this song isn't dope....the lyrics are real talk and I love the production. I just learned of this young lady today but I'm a fan already. She's from Washington D.C and she sings and raps. Check out more of her music at www.reverbnation.com/marleed...I'm sure you'll be a fan too
Yung Oki-Dr.Frankenstein
This song is bananas....from the minute it came on, my head was nodding. It features Jae Ace and Naykol...here it is...
J-EA-For You
I like this song, it's got a nice vibe....he's got a nice flow and I'm gonna check out some more of his music. Check him out at InternationalEA.com and follow him @AllThingsJEA....
Taryn Mai
Talk about a girl that can sang....I love Taryn's voice. I had the pleasure of meeting here while we worked together and she sang at karaoke and nobody expected that powerful voice to come out of that little body. She writes her own music and I see her going far. She's really focused, ambitious, and has all the makings of a start. Check her out at reverbnation.com/tarynmychalmai to hear all her music. I think my favorite song is Overanalyzed but her version of Marvin's Room with Tony Cash is dope.....You can watch videos of hers at www.youtube.com/tarynmai and follow her @tarynmychalmai for some positivity
Night Shadowz
So my homie T makes music, he's apart of Black Vegaz and they are really dope. I like this song and you all might too...
Kooley High
A collective of 6 artists who met in college and formed H20 which turned into Kooley High. They make nice hip hop music that you can vibe and groove to. My homie Tone put me onto them and I will definitely be digging deeper into their music. They have and EP The Summer Sessions, 2 albums Eastern Standard Time and David Thompson. Out of all the songs I've heard my favorite so far is Somethin' Outta Nothin'....check enm out at www.kooleyhigh.com

Thee Tom Hardy
So I'm sitting here talking music with my Kinfolk and she asked if I heard of The Tom Hardy. I've read about him but I've actually never heard any of his music until now and it was so not what I expected. I came across a song called Off The Radar and it was pretty slick. I gotta listen to more of Thee Tom Hardy, he's got me interested....
No Church In A While
The homie Ja'Rahn Leveston has a new mixtape out...No Church In A While. Go download it at www.mixtapefactory.com. You can pop this mixtape in and let it play from start to finish. Every track is pretty dope, but if I had to pick a favorite it would be the No Church In A While joint. You can expect an interview featuring the man himself coming your way very soon. It's no secret that I'm a fan of Ja'Rahn's music and this mixtape made me an even bigger one. I see Ja'Rahn going far in this music thing. So far he's been consistent and I always look forward to new music from him.

Helena Beat
I heard this song through my Kinfolk....It's Foster The People, the same people that bought you Pumped Up Kicks
SwitchBlades Live
The Lucky Third Entertainment Group and Lexi Trenee present to you a live performance of The SwitchBlades....you've heard of them before and I wanted you all to see them perform because it is an experience. These girls love what they do and it's an honor and a privilege to be working with them and I know you guys will be seeing more of them for sure....

Tonight Is The Night
I love this song and every other song I've heard by him...I wanna see him live.
Baby Drew
If you are from Milwaukee and you know the local rap scene then you definitely know who Baby Drew is....my dad has to know like every Baby Drew song ever made and I remember my brother used to play his music all the time when he was in high school and in his early 20's. His music is real and you know when it's a Baby Drew track. Nobody has a flow like him. I'm a always bump me some Baby Drew.....
This right here is a classic and he went so hard....my brother is funny when he raps this song lol

JR Scalez
I first heard of this guy when I saw the #ScholarCypher....I listened to some of his music @ reverbnation.com/Scalez and he's got some hot shit. My favorite song that I heard of his is Everywhere We Go...ya'll know I'm a groover and this song has a nice one. Make sure you follow him on Twitter @JrScalez....here's Ur Gonna Love Me, another smooth track...
Paranormal Karaoke
I'm pretty sure The Cranberry Show is about to blow up and since they're my favorite artists in Milwaukee right now I can't do anything but support them and their movement. We need to get behind them because if we do, that'll be a really good look for Milwaukee. They are consistently good and I've yet to be disappointed by anything they've put out. Paranormal Karaoke has everything you expect from the guys....quality lyrics, comedy, and banging beats. My favorite song probably is A Groupie Ballad for now...it'll change. Here's Traffic Lights and Sail for you guys to enjoy....
Ray Nitti- The Long Road Home
I like this song....he got off and showed that his talents go well beyond Bow
Richie Rich-Closer To My Dreams
My friend Stan put me on to this guy and I like this song. You can follow him on Twitter @RichieRichTOS and follow him @ purepancakes.tumblr.com..........here's the song
Kal'L
This is gonna be for all my R&B lovers out there....smooth sound, nice voice, cool guy. He's won me over as a fan and hopefully you all will soon join me. Follow him on Twitter @TheOnlyKaLL and he's got a YouTube channel @youtube.com/TheOnlyKaLL and make sure you like him on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/TheOnlyKaLL. You can expect to hear a lot from this guy Kal'L in the near future.....
Here's my favorite track of his featuring Qewl Miles
And he can really sing
VIvaFidel
Talk about a positive role model for black males to look up to and you gotta mention this guy. He's one person in the city I look up to and look forward to doing some work with, in and out of music....you can keep up with him @ vivafidel.info and make sure you follow him on Twitter @vivafidel and subscribe to his YouTube channel @ youtube.com/user/vivafideltv
Fly Forever Entertainment
Milwaukee is on the come up when it comes to good hip hop music, these guys deliver and do not disappoint. I didn't know my homie Kendall aka Haz3 spit like that. Here's their cypher and some links to listen to the guy's music. I look forward to working with these guys. Make sure you like them on Facebook @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Fly-Forever-Entertainment/231638303553765.

I got some fire for you....my homie Pacino is about to put out Chasing History and if Advance is any indication as to what to expect then you can count on me copping it.

Pacino
I've known this guy for many years and never really knew about his skills as an emcee until maybe a few years ago....I saw him perform and heard people say nothing but good things about him and his music. He's not like anyone else to me and I think we can expect nothing but fire from Pacino. You can follow him on Twitter @chinochinoyall and find his music on Facebook, just search Pacino and I'm sure you'll find him. Make sure you keep tabs as he works on his new project at beimcomparable.tumblr.com and then you might as well check this out while you're at it http://www.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.expressmilwaukee.com%2Farticle-15957-pacinos-incomparable-rap.html&h=RAQHjdgXRAQHLaIrRT0HOQ6zBMPJ7oiyHxZ-AtOdNiZMuYQ........
oh and here's the homie at work...........

Zo!
So I'm listening to my Quadron station on Pandora and this song called SunStorm comes on and I could dig it so I'm gonna check out more of his music and get back to ya'll til then......
Pinchers-Bandelero
If you've seen the movie Shottas then you've heard this song...my brother put me onto the movie and song and I'm not mad that he did at all. This is one of those songs that makes me wish I was in Jamaica so I go to Jamaica in my mind lol....
Gnarls Barkley
I think one of the most genius things that ever happened was for Cee-Lo and Danger Mouse to come together and make music together....I loved both St Elsewhere and The Odd Couple. I hope they get together to come out with some new material soon. I think my favorite song of theirs is Smiley Faces but they're probably more known for Crazy....I gotta see them in concert too, hopefully.
Thursday, January 5, 2012
Kid Cudi
From the first time I heard Day N Nite, I've been a big Kid Cudi fan....I don't even know that I have to say a whole lot about him. My favorite song probably is Pursuit of Happiness, I think. I love every song of his and that's all that really matters....
Don't Upset The Rhythm
I didn't really fall in love with this song til recently....I don't care what ya'll think, I love this song. I haven't heard anything by The Noisettes but I just might give em a listen some time soon.
ModernSadHip20Something
And that's the name of the song too....it's dope as hell though. My homie Gio aka JF put me onto himself who is a dope emcee and this song is the best thing I've heard in a minute. This song is everything I love about music. It's different sounding, as soon as it comes on my head is going, and the lyrics are dope. I can't wait for the video and as soon as there is one, it'll be up here. For now you can go to http://jftherhymist.tumblr.com/ to listen to the song and there's a link to download it there too. You know I put it on my phone asap so I can listen to it all the time.
F%@! Wit A G
Even if I didn't know the homie Nova $tylez, I'd still support his music. This is the 2nd of an 11 video series to go along with his soon to be released Dope Azz Mixtape and when that is available I'll make sure to let you all know how to get it.
Trey Songz-Can't Be Friends
If you've never done that thing where two friends try to be in a relationship....DON'T!!!!!!! This song says it all and I can relate to it all too well.....
