Akim of Vox Merger Interview w/ HalfKorean

Anthony Kim aka akim, one half of the hip hop duo Vox Merger, just had an interview published with HalfKorean that breaks down most of the facts you need to know about this rising MC. Not only is he consistent on the music grind, but the guy is in grad school pursuing his Law degree at the same time. Makes me feel lazy. He’s already laid down tracks with some of the vets including FM, Chan, Kato and Illmind to name a few.

Make sure to check out the rest of interview over at HK!

Thai x IZ Release the “La La La” Remix

454 Life Entertainment representatives Thai & IZ have dropped a new mixtape track; a remix of “La La La”. They chose a pretty decent beat (Auburn x Iyaz) but the song itself isn’t really memorable. The verses felt like throw a ways, written to fill up the track and not really own it. Regardless, it’ll be available on a mixtape they are dropping this weekend, and as a free DL today. You can get it here.

Melissa Polinar Shares New Original – “Never Change”

Ms Polinar has shared a new song called “Never Change” and I only wish it was available for download. The style of song and her voice make it almost dream like, it really has an ethereal like quality. That girl can really pluck away at that guitar too. Some may call this old fashioned but I think it’s just strong folk-pop. Even the lyrics have an earnest innocent quality to them shakes away some of the jadedness in me haha.

Bruno Mars Releases New Single – “Just the Way You Are”

What can I say? Bruno’s done it again. His new single from his upcoming debut album has been released by his label Elektra and it’s a winner. I’m really digging the percussion on this track. The song is a sweet ode to an unnamed female companion and I bet this is gonna make a lot of you ladies swoon. You can hear it below and check for the lyrics after the break.

Alfa Garcia Performs “The Kind of Girl”

Alfa explains that she wrote this song back in 2007 but finally decided to reveal it for the first time a couple days back. This girl is so talented, putting down her guitar and playing the ivories instead. I like the lyrics of the track but this performance clip was a bit rough in certain spots. I’d like to hear a finely tuned studio version with everything ironed out.
