New Music: Dr. Dre Feat Jay-Z Under Pressure
Dr. Dre Feat Jay-Z – Under Pressure [Tags] [Audio clip: view full post to listen]-thecouchsessions] is the wait over? I’m still not going to say that Dr. Dre’s Detox actually exists until I have a physical copy (yes, physical copy) in my hand, but this track is at least providing evidence that Dre has been [...]
Musicians Sing For Haiti
Since the devastating the earthquake that killed many thousands of Haitians occurred a couple of weeks ago, the world has appeared to come together (for a quick second at least) and help out those in need. Musicians on all levels have made their contributions by song and tributes such as Hope for Haiti a global benefit concert which aired this past weekend [...]
Best of 2009: The Top 50 Albums of 2009
2009 was a very interesting year for music. The “industry” make a roaring comeback, for the most part, sidelining the blogs and other “alternative media,” as our eyes once again focused back to more traditional outlets like radio and MTV. 2009 has also been one of the most devastating years that I could remember–we lost [...]
Video: Jay-Z “On To The Next One”
Hov delivers a stunning video to bring in the new year.
Best Radio Single of 2009: Jay-Z feat. Alecia Keys – Empire State of Mind
2009 was one of the first years in a long time that I actually listened to the radio. People think that I hate pop music, and that’s not the case. I love pop music, I just hate hearing the same 5 songs every 5 minutes on the radio. And since I get a lot of [...]
VIDEO: Jay-Z feat Mr. Hudson – “Young Forever”
Although Jay is riding the wave of his number 1 status in the US thanks to “Empire State of Mind,” “Young Forever” is the third official single in the UK. Of course this is due to Mr. Hudson singing the hook. As for Hudson, can we all just say that he had some of the [...]

New Music: Alex Goose – The Blueprint 3 Outtakes
Download/Stream: Alex Goose – The Blueprint 3 Outtakes You might have heard the name Alex Goose from his production work with Couch Sessions approved artists Danny Swain and Brittany Bosco. Personally, I think Alex is a producer to watch and Hova’s people thought so too, and invited him to submit beats for the Blueprint 3. [...]
Audio: Jay-Z Interview with Cipha Sounds and Rosenburg
After dropping the Blueprint 3, Hova has become my favorite person right now. Another one of my favorite DMV peeps, Peter Rosenburg along with Cipha Sounds and even the UKs Tim Westwood got the chance to chat it up with Jay on the day that he “moved” up the Blueprint 3 album. It’s a good [...]
New Music: Jay-Z – Ghetto Techno
Jay-Z – Ghetto Techno [Audio clip: view full post to listen] Let’s face it, the worlds of hip-hop and dance are set to collide. First Puffy drops an electro mixtape, now Jay-Z gets on a pseudo techno beat? The boom-bap generation is going nuts right now. Ghetto Techno is unfortunately not going to be on [...]
Video: Jay-Z Featurng Rihanna – Run This Town
Whatever you feel about the Blueprint 3, you should rest easy knowing that Jay-Z dropped not one, but 2 of the best videos this year. Even though I think the song is rather bleh, they turned up the cinematic feel of the video up to 11. The creativity in this video is better than almost [...]

SINGLE REVIEW: “HUFF + PUFF” by Just A Band
This joint right here is real sexy-like. Your body will automatically go into autopilot: your head will start boppin’, and you’ll break into a soulful yet swingin’ two-step (think of the Robert Palmer video girls…on speed). The very beginning of the song reminds me of Supernature-era Goldfrapp with heavy synths keys, some la-la-las, and a [...]
