Hailing from the Bay Area Yvette Travillian descended upon the Nation’s Cap by way of Howard University and as marketing major quickly discovered that the only business that would hold her interest was that of music and entertainment. Oh and she likes fashion too. That hat in the above pic is Hermès and she would wear it everyday if she could.
Michael Jackson: August 29, 1958 – June 25, 2009
[Audio clip: view full post to listen] Michael Jackson – Human Nature A year goes by so fast. Everyone remembers where they were or what they were doing the moment they heard music had lost one of its greatest and most influential icons ever.

Blue Six is the alias name of Jay Denes who is a producer and founder of the SF/NY record label Naked Music.

Interview: New Zealand MC -David Dallas
Last year we introduced you to David Dallas, a New Zealand MC who’s explosive single and video “Big Time” crept up on hip hop heads here in the States with a loud bang. The feedback we received from that video was quite overwhelming and as the months went by we couldn’t help but notice that his [...]
Mixtape: DJ Chief One – 1992
Here’s something for the old-school hip hop heads (like myself): New York DJ, Chief One just dropped this dope mixtape highlighting some of the hottest hip hop songs that came out in 1992.

(Unsigned) Artist 2 Peep: Jai Paul
There are so many new sounds of music out these days that I don’t even know how to categorize most of it. I try to go off whatever their Myspace page is hollering, but even still it’s hard to call. Case in point; this guy named Jai Paul. His music just made its way into my headphones and although his webpage states pop/hip hop, after hearing his song “BTSTU” [...]
Remembering Pac
It’s unnecessary for me to go into my love for Pac because this would turn into a very long-ass article. But I’ll just say it started from “Brenda’s Got a Baby” way back when I was hella young (13 to be exact). It’s been almost 14 years since he died and I of course still can’t [...]
New Music: Zo! Feat. Sy Smith – Greatest Weapon of All Time
Silver Spring, Maryland based producer/musician Zo! just released his first single called “Greatest Weapon Of All Time” featuring the lovely vocals of Sy Smith.

Video 2 Peep: B. Rossi x jake troth – Gems & Rubies
Now that we are officially half-way through 2010 I’m just gonna go out there and say that I have been beyond impressed with some of the music I have come across (online) thus far. Like seriously, I am thoroughly convinced that the internet is indeed the most powerful distribution mechanism an artist can use and because of [...]

Review: Exile- Radio Bonus (Free Download)
Download: Exile – Radio Bonus On this latest remix effort from Exile, there are some hits and misses. Now the purpose of a remix album is sometimes to be a little more experimental in nature, but since the original “Radio” contained so many samples, this remix seemed a bit excessive. Throughout this album there was [...]

Headphone Review: V-Moda Crossfade LP
Let’s face it. Your $9 earbuds from Radio Shack are becoming obsolete. But that’s a good thing. We spend so much time listening to music that we sometimes forget how valuable headphones are to the musical experience. And the high-end headphone market–once reserved for audiophiles and recording studios–has taken off. First there were the Dres. [...]
