Chris Brown + Busta Rhymes + Lil Wayne - Look At...
Recommended Listening / Dj Download
Made some simple intro, outro, and Chris Brownless edits of this Diplo + Afrojack produced tune. I am not gonna lie, I kind of like Chris Brown’s part. I mean, it’s definitely better than Drake if that means anything.
Anyway, hope these find a nice home in your digital crates, pod pods, and playlists.

RIP Trish Keenan of Broadcast
What a sad thing to hear this morning. I am glad I had the chance to see Broadcast perform at least once while I lived in Austin. Their records are great inspiration and I wish her friends and family the best.

Raphael Saadiq - Radio
Sorry for the double post, but the embedded video from Rolling Stone was throwing off my alignment.
New music video for the lead single, Radio, off of Saadiq’s recently announced new album due out in March. Saadiq just keeps getting more handsome as he ages (if he ages at all?!?!) as well as keeps things interesting with this obvious nod to the early days of R&B/ Rock & Roll.

After playing with Cosmo and Ayres on NYE and having one of the best times I can remember, I felt super rejuvenated on DJing.
