“Life Of A Lover” is the latest from one of my favorite new guys on the scene, Theophilus London. It’s a smooth, horn-sampling track from his upcoming mixtape I Want You. Since he calls this a preview, I’m not sure if this is the complete song or if the mixtape version will be extended. From his new blog:

Over the next Two months i will be traveling to Texas, Korea, England, California and Eastern Europe to Write, Learn, Love, Document, and Experience….glad to have you along the Journey

In Addition to the launch of this Blog here is A Preview of “Live Of a Lover” feat Jesse Boykins off my Forthcoming MIXTAPE “I WANT YOU”

Here it is, what Frank Ramz calls his first mixtape, appropriately titled Frankenstein. The mixtape features plenty of beats you’ll recognize, and a few you might not be able to place, but they all have something in common – Ramz murdered them. He’s a monster on this one, letting go of some of his more chilled out tendencies for some serious spit, verbal attacks, and wordplay galore. Ramz has two more projects coming up which will feature original material, Frankly Speaking and Quite Frankly, so consider this a warning. Ramz’ skills are sharper than ever. Shout to ReUpSpot for the host.

1. Frankenstein Intro
2. Practice Run
3. Turbulence
4. Heaven Sent
5. What It’s Hitting Like
6. The Terrorist

10. Dope $#!T
11. Give Me Room

Here’s the video for sometimes psychedelic folk rocker Devendra Banhart’s sunny jam “Baby”. Don’t be fooled by the beginning of this video – things get very weird. From Devendra Banhart, I wouldn’t expect anything less. The video also features Andrew from MGMT, Gza, and that Stroke that used to date Drew Barrymore. Thanks to Spinner.

Another funny video, no music tho. I couldn’t help but post this.  Spotted @ Radio Planet.

Here’s the official video for Lloyd Banks’ “Beamer, Benz Or Bentley” featuring Juelz Santana. I like this song but the video isn’t crazy or anything like that, besides the nice looking ladies in this mofo!

Saw this the other day @ 2dbz. Definitely one of the best videos and songs that I’ve heard in a very long time. Exactly what music has been missing. This is off of their *Incredibad* LP, which consists of 27 incredibly bad a$$ tracks. Be sure to cop it ASAP!

Shortly after Drake’s “Over” was released, the instrumental and acapella to it were released as well. Automatically I knew alot of rappers were going to jump on the instrumental (I was correct) & alot of producers were going to snatch up that acapella for a remix/blend of their own (so far I’ve only seen 2).

Well JEY grabbed that acapella & put his twist on it. Definitely gives a different vibe to the song, but the production is certainly dope! Certain parts of this instrumental kind of  remind me of “Forever”, but whatever.

Telephone – Short Version from Popsessed on Vimeo.

Here’s the short version, without interruptions, of the “Telephone” video, for those of us who can’t watch one music video for 10 minutes straight without getting headaches and experiencing random outbursts of violence and obscenity.

If time management isn’t your thing, the idea of 10 minutes of Gaga and B gets you giddy, or you just really, really love overwhelming amounts of product placement, then you should watch the full length video here.

Here’s a new one from B.o.B. over Drake’s “Over” instrumental. Bobby is probably best known for his fun, lighthearted jams with sing-along choruses, but he’s shown us time and time again that he can tackle serious issues and come with some honest intensity.

I’ve been completely neglecting P&P this weekend. Thanks to Ramz for holding things down as usual, and if you haven’t checked out his new track you should probably do that. I’ve got so much work to do today that I probably won’t be posting any more too much tonight, but I wanted to take a minute to put up this video. I saw Jay-Z on Friday and took this. It was my first time seeing Hov and it was a great show. I was pretty far back, but there was so much energy in that building that it didn’t matter. It was like one giant party in there, and seeing an artist with a career as extensive as Jay-Z’s is especially entertaining because there was literally never a dull moment.

Sidenote: Again, I have to apologize for the camera work. At the time, I thought it was really clever to move the camera from left to right as the crowd responded, but I realize now that it was a bad call. Also, I was drunk.

As I’ve stated before I hate posting my sh*t, but Confusion is looking like the love child of Waldo & Carmen Sandiego right now! Anyway, this is the 1st leak off of my *Frankenstein* mixtape called “150%”. The tape will be dropping this Monday, March 15th & will be hosted by REUPSpot.com (of course it’ll be here as well).

This tape will be my first mixtape, but 7th project. I say that because this tape only has freestyles freeverses on it, while all my other projects consisted of actual original material..songs..etc. Oh yea, this is Cudi & Snoop’s “That Tree” instrumental. Check it out! & check me on twitter as well!

K’naan’s “Wavin’ Flag” is one of the standout tracks from his Troubadour album and has become something of a phenomenon thanks to its timely message of strength and solidarity. Now famed producer Bob Ezrin has brought together top Canadian performers for Young Artists for Haiti, and the group’s rendition of the song takes it to new heights. Performers include K’naan, Nikki Yanofsky, Jim Cuddy, Emily Haines, Hedley, The Arkells, Drake, Justin Bieber, Avril Lavigne, Jully Black, Sam Roberts, Kardinal Offishall, and more.

Apple, the labels, and the artists are donating their share of the proceeds to the Free The Children, World Vision, and War Child charities.
