Broner Jams - Volume II

I pray to god all of you in Oxford know the name Jermaine Cole. If you don’t, take a lap. Seriously, J Cole as he goes by, is the best thing in the rap game as of now. I have been following this dude for a couple years now and trust me he is the best in the business. Not only does he put some sick flows together but unlike most of his peers he actually produces his own beats and puts it all together. Anyways, a couple weeks ago his newest release came out and it will probably be up for rap album of the year. I highly recommend BUYING (yes actually paying for) Cole World: The Sideline Story because; 1.) It’s that good, and 2.) Support actual rap music. Here’s a pretty upbeat song from this album that I think everyone can enjoy….

Here is a link for the song (Free of course), for all you Steve Jobs fans out there just right click the link and hit save file as, save it to your desktop, and then open it and it will directly add it to your Itunes!

Pulling a little 180 here and going to a complete different genre of music, I want to take a moment to talk about the ridiculous talent that is Justin Vernon and the group Bon Iver (pronounced Bon-ee-varih….I won’t refrain from calling you out if I hear you mispronounce it in King when you show your friends this, get it fucking right). Anyways, Vernon has been all over the folk-indie scene for some time but this group “Bon Iver” is just something special. Hands down in my top 3 favorite artists at the moment and the song I am about to give you had quickly become one of my most played songs on Itunes. This is relaxing music. Quaint music. Study music. Whatever have you. It makes you feel something, which hardly any music can do nowadays. Don’t be a tough-guy bro and just skip this song….give it a listen because I guarantee you will appreciate it. The recording is live by the way, so it just shows how much more kick ass this dude is. If you ever get a change to see him live, do it. Best show you’ll ever see…if you appreciate music.

Enjoy
