Hey, thanks for stopping by my site. If you’re wondering who I am, I’m no one important; just a guy who blogs in his spare time. My name is Kevin and music is my passion. This blog originally started as a personal blog for me to expand on my writing skills and meet other people online who have the same interests. Since then, I’ve decided to dedicate this blog to the one thing I’ve loved the longest out of my life (except for my mother) — Hip Hop. I listen to all types of music from R&B to rock, but hip hop is the one form of music that really inspires me.

I’m an 80’s child, so I grew up on Run DMC, Whodini, and UTFO; but I listen to all forms of hip hop from the past 30 years. My favorite period would have to be the early to mid 90s, a time when A Tribe Called Quest, Gangstarr, and Pete Rock & CL Smooth were on the scene. Today’s hip hop leaves me with mixed emotions and there are a lot of acts out there who are in the game just for the money and don’t have same the passion as our hip hop pioneers. At the same time, there are just as many innovative and creative artists coming up in hip hop that must be recognized.

People relate to hip hop for different reasons. For a lot of people it’s the lyrics. For me it’s the music behind the lyrics. Grant it you can’t have a good record without an MC’s lyrical skill; he’s gotta have flow. However, I’m moved more by the beat and the production behind the songs. Sampling is an art; when done right it can make the song and when done wrong it can kill the entire groove.

There are a lot of music blogs out there that post free music to download. This is not one of those sites. From time to time there may be an exclusive song that is not available to purchase or a mixtape that is otherwise free to the public that I will link to from this site. But as a whole, I fully support the artist and the purchasing of their music.

So that’s my little intro. Feel free to comment on any of my posts or drop me a line.
