Average April

Holy cow, another month gone by... As you can see from the title of this month's playlist, this month has actually been pretty normal. Ups and downs, ins and outs, turns and... yeah, you get the point. However, I'm really impressed with the music I've been finding lately (only because I do an ungodly amount of digging and searching). When am I not, though? I guess that makes this month even more normal...

First up, I'll talk a little on some music that I've been bumpin' all month long, and ironically, it's really not that average. It's very different than what I was expecting, actually. Even though Mac Miller's newest mixtape, Macadelic, was released a little over a month ago, I've now had enough time to form a few opinions about it. First off, I like it. Some of the songs really vibe an old school hip hop sound, which I really dig. Second, like I mentioned before, it's definitely not what I was expecting. Why? The drug use/references in this album are uncountable... I mean, yeah he's a young hip hop artist, they all rap about b!tches and rollin' on pills, right? But comparing this new album to previous works such as Blue Slide Park or Best Day Ever (I'm thinking songs like Wear My Hat, Life Ain't Easy, Love Lost), it seems he's really into the drug scene right now. Furthermore, when he's not talking about drugs, the rest of his lyrics are pretty gritty and nasty... but of course, he won't lose any support from the female percentage of his audience by rapping about all those nasty things. Girls go ape sh!t over this dude, I mean, look at that face! Still makes for good music, though, so I'm not complaining. ...Especially when it's FREE.

Next, I'll just get right down to business. Here's my full April playlist, from which I've extracted my most listened to and liked songs and turned into an 8tracks Mix, which is below this list. Check it.

Hopefully you're jammin' out by now, right? Here's a few more sounds I've discovered more recently that I've been grooving to, these are a little more relaxed.

Absence

Alright, I'm impressed. I've been completely negligent of my blog for close to a month, yet I've steadily gained 1,000 more views as the days pressed on. Like I've always said, you readers are awesome, and I appreciate the support, follows, and views. Thank you!!!

This past month has been insane for me, so my apologies for the absence. I know I owe a February playlist, but while I'm preparing that, I'm just going to throw some recent discoveries at you all. But first... It's Spring Freakin' Break! We've made it about halfway through... Let's just get it over with now.

This was released about a month ago, and although I previewed it, I made myself not listen to it until Spring Break actually rolled around. Kap Slap has created some of my favorite mashups, and they put together a solid hour of music made special for this time of year. It includes some music from Foster The People, Jesse J, Afrojack, Avicii, Taio Cruz, David Guetta, Rihanna, and Gotye. 

Download this ASAP!

While we're still on mashups, here's a DJ duo from NYC, these ladies call themselves The Jane Doze. Check out their tracks from their album Girls Talk, and download what you like.



So, I know this has been out since November, but it now has significance to me and I'm able to get into it.
I've tried looking for remixes to this as of late, but nothing has really jumped out at me yet, so I'll keep looking.



Here's one that everyone's been obsessed with lately, including myself. If you haven't listened to Gotye's album yet, do it now. Seriously, it's amazing. I swear, by the end of this year they'll have some sort of award(s) to show for it.
This remix is fantastic, not too long, and has a great beat behind it.



That pretty much sums things up for right now, but keep checking back, I'll have some playlists and more music posted by the end of this week. Also, check out my Spring Break Playlist from last year, it got a lot of views at the time and is still a great set to play during any events this week. Happy Spring Break!
