Music Video: A-Game – Watchu Saying

MP3: A-Game- Watchu Saying by thug2500

The new video for the T.dot’s young twin, Down South-influenced spittas’ latest single, “Watchu Saying.” I loved their last single, “Airplanes.” But I’m less enamored of this one. It’s s’aight with it’s somewhat generic Drake-meets-T.I. radio-friendly sheen, but sounds like it could go. What y’all think though??

Introducing New Group: Birthday Girls – Balcony

New dance-punk/post-punk band from Ottawa. They sent their new self-titled EP to me shortly before Christmas via mediafire which would normally be grounds for immediate deletion but they’re Canadian so I gave them a pass and checked it out anyway. SOUNDCLOUD or BANDCAMP, people – read the guidelines.

Anyway, getting back on topic, here’s their self-description:

“Birthday Girls combines distorted bass with synthesizer, live drums, and harsh vocals for a distinctive sound that draws from our main influences including bands such as: Death From Above 1979, Bloc Party, The Strokes, Foals, No Age, and Wavves.”

I would add The Killers (at least musical style-wise) to that list if they can ever get to a point where they can afford a better producer. I see potential for something big here.

New Music: Junia-T feat. Coyote & Rich Kidd – Paper (Good Company Remix)

“Junia T’s Coyote and Rich Kidd-assisted ‘Paper’ was already a Toronto smash upon its release [ed note: was it??]. Shortly after the Toronto neophyte tandem Good Company did a remix with a fourth verse from Ayatollah Jaxx over a Fundamental beat.”

So this is more of a mash-up than real remix??

New Music: Hector – One O’Clock, Two O’Clock (feat. Yobi)

More T.dot hip hop. Backpack as hell but dope – love it! RIYL: Little Brother and (flow-wise) early Kanye. Here’s the science (according to Ty & Rez):

“Hector is a producer/MC from Toronto neighborhood Parkdale. He spent this past summer performing at various open mics and showcases across the city, he was contender in the Sound Battle Royale. During high school Hector was in a few bands, spent time writing songs and learning how to freestyle. Hector went on to learn how to bring his sound to life through a production program FL Studio. Hector is currently working on a mixtape and an all instrumental mixtape that will be released in early 2011.”
