Just the latest track on Wiz Khalifa's road to being a bonafide star. The leader of the current young internet rappers pairs up with a huge legend and close friend Snoop. This song is going to be on the soundtrack for their upcoming movie High School.
Taylor Gang or Die. Most blogs that I follow have been posting this "new" song called "Taylor Gang" which is about Wiz and his crew. In fact, it features one of his crew members Chevy Woods, another talented artist. Honestly, either I didn't think this track was new, or when I saw Wiz Khalifa in January in concert, he was exhibiting one of his new tracks, because this song was definitely on the set list. Whatever the case is with that song, it's still another solid track from Wiz. Chevy Woods, his running mate on the track, is also working on his solo career. So below the Taylor Gang song, is Chevy Woods' hit single from his upcoming EP Red Cup Music, entitled "Jimmy Fallon".
Everyone's gearing up for the big game tomorrow. But maybe some of you aren't going as hard as DJ Skeetox. Skeetox went ahead and took Wiz Khalifa's "Black & Yellow (G-Mix)" and Lil Wayne's "Green & Yellow" and threw them together to make a huge Super Bowl Remix Track. Snoop Doog spits his verse from the G-Mix to back up Wiz Khalifa and the Terrible Towel Nation, while Lil Wayne gets two verses from his clever remake. Also, adding the rock sound to the track, makes it more football appropriate in my opinion. I'm just ready to crown a champion of the NFL, and maybe the "_____ & Yellow" songs.
Another name that's breaking into the music industry is Ellie Goulding. Not only is she absolutely gorgeous, but her voice is very unique which allows for her pop-style to shine through. But, you've probably heard her in the background to MANY dubstep remixes of her songs, the most popular being "Starry Eyed". Many artists have done different things with the track, and turned it into their own unique creation. Some have left the track as a slow jam, others have sped up the track to give it a different feel. Listen below and comment at what you think is the best:
On this version, Kam Royal, an up-and-coming rapper out of Tulane University, exhibits his skills on the Starry Eyed Beat, by making a laidback almost slowjam party mix: Starry Eyed (KAM Royal Remix)
On this version, we have a two song Mash-Up, keeping the Starry Eyed beat slow. When paired with Wiz Khalifa's hit single "Say Yeah", this is a very good 1v1 Mash-Up: Say Yeah Starry Eyed People
But others have taken the beat, and sped it up. For example, Graffick, a rapper out of the University of Maryland-Baltimore County, has paired up with fellow artist Epidemic, and used their flow to make this hit: Graffick Feat. Epidemic - The Star
And it can also make a solid party track when sped up. As another 1v1 Mash-Up, paired with Brisco's "On the Wall", this one turns into a heavy hitting party jam that'll get all the ladies grinding like a skateboard: On the Starry Wall
