King – ‘Story’ (Video)
May 19, 2011
Not everyday you hear music that gives you chills, but when I heard this I got instant goosebumps. Not much is know about the trio other than them having a 3 song EP entitled “Story”, that is catching on like wildfire.The group is comprised of twins Paris and Amber, with Anita as the 3rd vocalists. They all hail from LA but met in Boston while attending college. All arrangement and production is done by group members, which blows you away when you hear the complex melodies and harmonies that blend smoothly like cocoa butter on ashy skin. They have created something that musically reaches out the box, and spans beyond R&B music thats mostly superficial and materialistic. Hopefully we will get more from KING soon but until then, it always feels good to find quality music organically and being able spread the good word about it……SO ENJOY!! – IsReal

TheNewContent and the Beatz & Lyrics Show with host Jayforce both have a long history of supporting genuine hip hop culture. TheNewContent was on deck to capture the Beatz & Lyrics Show’s 10 year anniversary. They followed us from WRFG 89.3FM Atlanta to the 10 year Anniversary celebration at the A3C Hip Hop Festival. Then on to Atlanta’s own Salem Psalms Library “SPL” to record the Beatz & Lyrics Show 10 Yr Anniversary A3C Mixtape (recorded entirely during the A3C Festival) .
With over 150 true school artists in town performing at the festival, we were able to celebrate the 10 Years of work Jayforce and his team have put in to preserve hip hop culture from its grass roots level. Having the undying dedication of people like Montez and Twice Born “the God,” the Beatz & Lyrics Show has been a powerhouse for supporting community by the law of “Good Music First”.
We salute TheNewContent and Eljay Williams for holding it down in the line of fire.

Fl Studio App for the iPad
May 19, 2011
ImageLine creators of the popular production software Fruity Loops have taken a lot of heat for their refusal to take the software to the MAC OSX. With the announcement of FL Studio app for iPad they may be on their way to giving the switch that many of their users clamor for. The app will allow you to make beats on the iPad, iPod, and iPhone then load them to the PC desktop version of FL Studio if you want. The questions still remain about a full apple FL Studio Suite but this seems like a step in that direction. There is not release date set yet for the app but ImageLine says it will be available soon.

DJ Khaled’s Single With Drake Called ‘I’m On One’ Should Include Talib Kweli (Opinion)
May 18, 2011
When I first heard this song I thought it was a good R&B record for Drake, but later I found out it was for DJ Khaled’s upcoming album. I haven’t been a fan of DJ Khaled’s recent projects because they had the terrible distinction of being & sounding completely the same from the concepts to the audio soundscapes. From the looks of this video DJ Khaled can recognize like I can that Drake gave him a hit record with this song. It’s easy to see why DJ Khaled is going all out with a full promotional campaign with ‘I’m On One’ theme, but I can’t help but think about Talib Kweli rocking with ‘I’m On One’ earlier this year. Maybe they should find someway to do a full on R&B remix with Talib Kweli doing a verse in some way. Maybe put Talib Kweli on an extended remix or something to those type of fans. Many people probably wouldn’t like that, but I think you should show some type of props to Talib Kweli for rocking with that phrase & song this year first. In case you’re slow I’ve included the link to Talib Kweli’s record from his Gutter Rainbows album below….
