BlueTube: Deshawn Raw

Mr. Deshawn is simply HILARIOUS. I'm a huge fan of parodies especially when they're satirical. Here's some of his work. Be sure to support, subscribe, and follow.


I'm wild, I'm crazy, I can't be tamed
I drive all alone in the carpool lane


Sweet dollar tea from McDonalds, I drink that
Super hot fire, I spit that
Two and Half Men, I watch that


-Artemis J

Like what you see? Well don't stop here.

Bluetube: Joss Stone on Leno



I don't know how I feel about the barefoot singing but hey her voice is worth it. I would say this is an example of funk rock. Here's her performing on The Tonight Show. "Karma" is off of LP1 which drops on the 26th. If you're like me and had some difficulties understanding her with...I GOT YOU HOMIE.


You could've tried a little harder baby
You could've been a little smarter baby

Let Me Put You On - Shanaz Dorsett

Hey guys! Laydee TraceY here...

This is a shout to the ninties babies. Underground songstress Shanaz Dorsett does an awesome cover of Groove Theory's "Tell Me." This is definitely on my old school playlist and I love well executed covers (and musicians from my home!)




If you like what you hear, Shanaz already has an EP, Above The Clouds available now for FREE download


Since 2008, Shanaz Dorsett has linked with various music-makers from around the globe (thanks, internet!), most notably producers Remot (Mick Boogie, Donny Goines, U-N-I, Chipp Tha Ripper, Dutchmassive, Cy Marshall Law) and EOM (of Wax & EOM’s Liquid Courage, Shad, Classified, Chamillionaire, Dumbfounded, The MudKids, Random aka Mega Ran). However this time around, she went to the crates for some inspiration.

Above the Clouds Volume 1 is a 5 song EP composed of this soulful British Songstress voice over classic DJ PREMIER productions. She blissfully sings over “So Ghetto,” “Nas is Like,” “Boom,” “Watch How It Go Down,” and “That White.” The EP is perfect for the curious minds who might wonder what R&B vocals sound like on the full-course meal of a Premier production (Yes, yes, Craig David, Laura Ibizor, D’angelo were on original Preem productions!). And while the vocals certainly compliment the beat, it is evident that Premier certainly created a formula for diversity, longevity, and multiplicity with his production.

This EP serves as a homage to the greatest producer of all time, but also as a coming out party for a singer who is sure to remain on our radar for the future.

Let Me Put You On: Overdoz



This is the funniest vid I've seen in a LONG time and the song is quite relatable. The fellas of Overdoz (Tube, Cream, Sleezy, and Kent) hail from Inglewood and have proved to be talented enough to blend hip hop with humor. *Golf Clap*. I personally love the nod to silent film comedies and the assortment of costumes. "Pasadena" is off of Live For, Die For which is out right now.

Had a Disney girl, a big thick red bone
She left me so cold in the D, she dead wrong

New Colbie Caillat feat. Common



My mind is always blown when artists make songs about songs. Go figure. This is such a cute summer jam. Something so sing along to while driving with the windows down. Common even tried to hit some notes. Good for him. "Favorite Song" is off of All of You which drops Tuesday.



I wanna be your favorite song
You can turn it up, play me all night long

-Artemis J


New Music: Theophilus London



He's back at it again. I can't wait for that debut to drop. *SIGH* Patience woman, PATIENCE. "No Particular One" has London singing over a Motown island beat. "Field of Dreams" didn't make the studio cut but should appear on his Prince TL mixtape which will be out this fall.

I don't have (no particular one)
I don't see (no particular one)

Just don't pick up the telephone line
Sticks and stones can break my words

HOT OR NOT: Waka Flocka


Waka Flocka's music is perfect for when doing cardio or trying to stay awake when driving on the MassPike. This time he's linked up with Roscoe Dash, Gorilla Zoe, and Chrissa for a track that could be featured on any
Space Jam remake soundtrack. But hey, what do you think? "Swish" is rumored to be on his upcoming album Triple F Life: Friends, Fans, & Family that will be out later this summer.

Ball like I'm Jordan, ball like I'm Kobe
Put some defense on me (swish)

All I do is ball, game over b*tch
I bring that pain ask cane I'm on that nova shit
On my Frank Ocean shit I'ma need a jersey please
Smoking on this strong like my blunt is full of Hercules

New Music: Mayer Hawthorne - Love In Motion (Produced by SebasiAn)



Yo! A new sound from one of my favorite singers out right about now. Heres something he worked on with French artist SebastiAn on off an album called TOTAL. This track, Love In Motion is pretty retro like you would expect from Hawthorne, but i mean like Prince and not Sly and the Family Stone. But i dig it. bout to be on MY summer playlist.
