Good music: Wiz Khalifa “Black and Yellow”

Sowmya K — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 20:30:34 +0000

Wiz Khalifa delivers on his highly anticipated first single “Black and Yellow” (produced by Stargate). I didn’t even know Stargate did rap (Wikipedia fail) but the beat goes hard and the hook is super duper catchy. Shout outs to the homie Artie for the track.

Good music: Raekwon, Kanye, and “a girl” named Justin Bieber

Is it Mariah Carey circa 1995 or Justin Bieber? Either way, this Runaway Love remix with Raekwon and Ye is pretty amazing. Don’t knock it until you hear it. Thanks to Mikey Fresh for putting me on this one.

DeGrassi‘s “Boiling Point” season finale came last week. How I love the intrigue of Canadian teenage life. Until I figure out how to spend my weeknights here on out, here’s a cute little season wrap-up with the awesome music of V.V. Brown’s “Shark in the Water”

The Drizz and Wayne (shot before he went to jail) join forces for “Miss Me” in another Anthony Mandler-directed music video. I heart the hook on this song. Not sure what the molotov cocktail/stripper visuals are supposed to mean but I sure do love seeing Drake do the Drake hopping dance.

Video: Kanye takes artistry to the next level in “Power”

90 secs. Amazing Italian Renaissance-inspired visuals. Kanye does it again.

…“it’s that Slumdog Millionaire Bollywood flow”… Wayne and Drake bless us with some new music from Wayne’s “I’m Not A Human Being” (Sept 27). What an upbeat song c/o Toomp (?) Me likey!

Video: avant garde meets rap in Kanye’s “Power”

Sowmya K — Wed, 04 Aug 2010 21:05:44 +0000

The making of Kanye’s new video “Power” premieres tomorrow at 11pm ET on MTV. Looks very dope.

Video: Kanye performs for Twitter…but what about me?!

First Facebook and now Twitter headquarters gets a Kanye surprise performance. Hey Ye! TheSowmyaLife is next right?

(Not so) Good music: Usher feat. Jay-Z and Ester Dean “Hot Toddy”

Sowmya K — Wed, 28 Jul 2010 19:47:47 +0000

Possibly the worst Usher and Jay-Z collabo (and yes I heard that horrible “Anything” from Kingdom Come). Usher’s voice sounds great but rhyming Ke-mo sah-bee with Hot Toddy. Yikes.
