New Single from Miguel – Sure Thing

Miguel’s first single, “All I Want is You” featuring J. Cole took a minute to catch on from tastemaker bloggers to mainstream urban radio but it happened which is a testament to good music and the patience of his label, Jive Records to stick with him. See, not all major labels are the Devil. Some of them still believe in real talent and are willing to see the artist development process through. This is a solid follow-up which hopefully will continue to build the story for this new talent. Y’all dig?

New Music: The Jack Moves – A Fool For You

Apparently this is actually not a throwback and is a song by a group from Asbury Park, NJ (yes, as in where ‘The Boss’, Bruce Springsteen is from. Side bar: this might be the only time Bruce Springsteen ever gets mentioned on this blog!)

Some Random Halloween-Themed Music….

I’m staying in and trying to finish this book (I’m at p.220 out of 560!) but for those of you partaking in the Satantic rituals, here’s a little season-appropriate, holiday music to get you in the mood. (Promo/PR/marketing companies, artists, DJ’s, ‘mash-up’ artists and producers: don’t get any funny ideas and flood my inbox tonight with any more of this crap – I’m only doing this post to see if it’s Hype Machine-friendly, traffic bait…)

First, a dubstep track sampling the Halloween theme by Beat Mass – “Halloween (FilthStep)” with Benny Beatnik:

Then a little Ludacris vs. Ray Parker Jr. mash-up by the Manila Killa sampling the Ghostbusters theme called the “Ghostbusters Get Low (Manila Killa Halloween Bootleg)”:

Finally, hit the jump to see new Jive records artist, Bei Maejor makes a beat out of ‘Halloween stuff’ and a B-52’s vs. Satan – Monster Mashup 2010 titled, “The Devil’s In My Mix.” (more…)
