Get Hip Mixtape Of The Week: Shun Ward x Pet Blue Dolphin

shunward

Singer,Shun Ward is a favorite of Nuflavainyaear and He has released his debut mixtape “Pet Blue Dolphin”. He is representing Houston, Texas and is an artist from Gruvsoul Entertainment. This mixtape gives me a 90′s vibe and it’s definitely some flava to relax to. Shun Ward covers classics from Sade to Ginuwine and his vocals are so smooth. My favorite track is “Dying For Love”, because we use to always spin that joint on the NCrowd Radio show and I have been hooked since. This is a MUST download so Get Hip.

Video Flava: Kendrick Lamar x B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe x Death of Molly?

Kendrick Lamar releases the visual for his hit single “B*tch Don’t Kill My Vibe” with appearances from Mike Epps and Juicy J. That is kind of funny for there to be a Juicy j appearance just because my interpretation of the all white dress code funeral was the death of molly. I mean I could be wrong but anyways enjoy.

58 Mics is starting this year off with a classic sound. Mike Lovehall has finally released his 1st debut EP, “Blues People” with tracks produced from Q-Tip to DJ Premiere. This tape has a selected 5 tracks including a collaboration with 58 Mics rapper, Maac Cruiz. This guy is legit and I’m throughly impressed. I definetly get an old school vibe when I listen to this and I love the message in his music. The intro was dope, the instrumental reminds me of something Biggie Smalls would freestyle on.

Follow Mike and Maac on twitter @_birthofthecool and m_liveatthebbq

NuFlava: Dirty Money’s Kalenna is Lonely x Kelly Rowland Likes her Kisses Down Low?

This Nu Flava post is all about the ladies. I got some hot tracks from  Kalenna(Diddy‘s Dirty Money) and Ms. Kelly Rowland. I think both of these tracks are empowering for women just touching on different subjects. Kalenna sings about how I guy that did her wong will be lonesome without her while Kelly tells her man she loves it when he kisses down low. I am not mad at you Kelly, you are becoming the Queen of the sex ballads for women. That Kalenna track is so fun to sing and the beat is dope. I’m glad that she is branching out and doing her own thing, I always liked her vocals in Dirty Money. Keep up the good work ladies, female r&b needs soldiers.

Enjoy.

Dope Women In Hip Hop: Gabbie Giftsz Interview

I had to end the year with a dope female mc , who instantly made me a fan. I absolutely love this artist and I wish her success in her current and future endeavors. I swear I will be in NYC this summer definitely checking for her performances.

Get to know Ms. Gabbie Gifts…

gabbie

Where are you from, How old are you and when did you decide to be an MC?

 

I’m from Brooklyn. I decided to become an MC at 12 years old.

 

How did you come up with your stage name?

 

I was going through a stage in my life where I felt I had nothing but my gift of gab, my gabbie giftsz

 

Who were your musical inspirations growing up and who are your favorite artists out right now?

 

Lil Kim, she’s why I started rapping. I stole my mom’s best of Lil Kim and listened to it everyday religiously. After that I wanted to be like the boys. I idolized PAC and BIG. Now I love a lot of shit from the south, from Gucci to Big KRIT to Devin the Dude.

 

What does you and your music represent? What are your trying to tell the world with your music?

 

My music represents me. It’s an honest depiction of my life. My demons, my accomplishments and everything in between. I’m trying to tell the world to be honest and to be yourself.

 

What advice would you give to other inspiring female MC’s ?

 

Stop rapping like Nikki. Don’t fuck a rapper, it’ll ruin your reputation. Don’t get taken advantage of. Act as aggressive as a man-Fuck these niggas.

 

Do you have any upcoming projects? What can we expect from you in 2013?

 

I just finished Deadly 7 and now I’m working on Miscellaneous Pimp Shit. For 2013, you can expect more videos and lots more honesty. I’m working harder to show the world what Gabbie is about.

 

How can listeners contact you and your music?
