Family Business.

Guess what? I've got new additions to my iPod's "Most Played" list! It's FAMxBIZ's album Hardwork&Hennessy and also their mixtape Hunting Season. It's a function favorite with me and my friends, and I've already managed to get my friend Alex hooked on it. The track "Hardwork&Hennessy" happens to be my favorite, but I'm torn between that and "Letting You Go" which features the one and only, Lamar Jay. With music like these boys put out, it's a real wonder why they're not ridiculously rich and famous.

I talked to Steve Sincere, the leader of FAMxBIZ, and like Lamar Jay he is extremely humble; which really makes sense to why they collaborate so much on the Hardwork&Hennessy album. I'm still working on setting up an interview with FAMxBIZ, and hopefully our schedules will mesh well sometime soon so I can finally make that happen. But until then, check out their album and download it for free while you can! And but of course, they're also on Facebook.


They're really fan-loyal, and it shows all over their Facebook wall. They're always looking to work with their fans, involving them in their journey as upcoming artists. That has to be the coolest thing I've heard since "free wifi". They do shows all over, the next one being at La Mirage Night Club on Thursday, November 18th. Check 'em out!

Check out the Hardwork&Hennessy video !!

Recommended Listen; Lamar Jay.

Lamar Jay & all his awesomeness.

Lately, all I've been seeing on Facebook is the craze about a new up-and-coming solo artist by the name of Lamar Jay. This guy easily has made his way onto my "25 Most Played" list on iTunes. Don't try to call him an amateur artist; Lamar Jay's single "Mysterious Love" has already been featured in the beginning of the hot summer flick "Lottery Ticket", starring Bow Wow and Ice Cube. The genre of his music is a mixture between pop and r&b, and his voice is so easy to listen to, it's hard to not find yourself hitting the "repeat" button.

However, the song that I've been going crazy about is his newest, "Nicki". It's an up-beat dance track with an addictive beat, about the infamous Nicki Minaj (obviously), where he sings out the verses while Nicki is heard on the hook. It kinda makes me wish my name was Nicki. "All the Nicki's around the woooorld, you're my number one." What about the "Lycie's", huh?!

Lamar Jay works very hard and loves what he does, and it shows. Not to mention he's unbelievably humble for someone rising so quickly. It might be cliche to say, but he really does love his fans and he aims to please them in his music. I can't tell you how many times I've come across arrogant rising artists. Making more enemies than a fan base? No bueno. Lamar Jay's personality is easy to like before you even hear his music, which makes his music that much better. So he's definitely a recommended listen. Shoutout to my new favorite artist, Lamar Jay. Keep it up (:
