It’s not a secret that the likes of J. Reyez, Jimmy Boi, Jargon, and Tommy C all relish each other’s company – so a collab from the artists is not only welcomed by many, it’s expected. The Hip-Hop and R&B artists aren’t about to disappoint their fans and are getting ready to drop a new song called “Bad One”. The MV teaser is below and is, in the words of Tommy, “for all the party people.”

Jargon Shares Tribute Song – “One Last Ride”
In a heartfelt move, Jargon has released a song as a request from a fan in dedication to a friend who died in a horrifying equestrian accident. J takes the the tragic matter and puts it to song, in memory of Cheyenne Nicole Ramirez and son Ryden. This is a touching testament to the artist and his love and interaction with his fanbase. The track is appropriately titled, “One Last Ride”.
On Fire Entertainment x Jargon x Mike Musni Present MV for “Dreams”
What do you get when you mix On Fire‘s Loe, L-Dubbs, Rocky Sandoval, Miss TLu, Jargon and Mike Musni of IBU? The answer would be “Dreams”, a new collaborative tracks between all the artists, complete with music video. There’s a big variety of talent here from emcees to singers but there is a downside. It looks like they chose a non-exclusive beat from producer Johnny Juliano. How do I know this? It’s the exact same one used by D-League for “Big Dreams, 2Pac Nightmares“. I guess that’s the risk when hitting up popular producers. The song will be included on the soon-to-be-released Sex, Drugs, Rap & Soul.
The Cover Music Videos Youtube Round-Up – 3/27/12
Music Video Tuesday! Ok, that’s not a real thing, but that’s our theme of today’s round-up of Youtube video covers. Admittedly, the last video isn’t exactly a music video so much as it is a gigantic mash-up of footage. But when you’re dealing with 50 different artists and trying to work all those clips together, we figure it’s just as much work as any other MV production, so we’ve gone ahead and included it too. Enjoy!

Jargon x Christian Feliciano x Rachel Pacquiao Tease a “Better Day”
In a big international collaboration (Chicago to Australia to Ireland), Jargon links up with Christian Feliciano & Rachel Pacquai on an anthem-like Hip-Hop track called “Better Day”. This is just a short 20 second teaser, but it’s a promising start. It would appear that they have big plans for the single too, with hints of a possibility for an official video to see the light of day. No worries, we’ll share them with you once they are released!
Jargon Shares “Legs On My Shoulders” ft Lizzy
This new song by Jargon is for our more mature readers, as it’s a tune dedicated to the relations part of relationships… if you catch my drift. Those looking for some new tunes for the bedroom playlist might enjoy this one, with a guest appearance by Lizzy to offer some perspective from the other side of the sheets. I don’t see this one becoming that song that puts Jargon on the map, but it has it’s place.
Jargon x Gamble Collab for the “Be Cool” MV
While in Toronto, Jargon & Gamble shot a quick music video for their track “Be Cool”, with some help from J. Reyez & Tommy C behind the scenes (they had to keep everything in the family). It’s more of a Hip-Hop street video than a full-blown production, with everything shot literally on a street corner. If you’re feeling the track go ahead and add it to your playlist as it’s a free DL, here.
Showdown:J-Ricz x Sizzle vs D-Pryde & Friends vs J-Reyez x Tommy C & Friends
It’s time for a Showdown, where we have a little friendly comparison of artists that cover/remix the same songs and then vote for the one we think pulled it off better.
Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa’s “Young, Wild & Free” (featuring Bruno Mars) has been a pretty popular song on the radio the past few months – and it’s easy to see why with it’s catchy melody, easy hook and laid back raps. So we can’t say we’re too surprised to see a few remixes up on Youtube – making the song perfect candidate for our Showdown feature. What makes these remix/covers particularly interesting is that due to the nature of Youtube and copyright/licensing issues, each of the artists had the beat re-created to avoid being flagged on the flagship video streaming site; adding just an extra dashs of creativity and helping to keep each version distinct from the other.
J-Ricz x Sizzle
D-Pryde x Boogz Boogetz x Peter Kirk
J. Reyez x Tommy C x Tycoon x Hangman
So which group of artists had your flavor du jour? J-Ricz & Sizzle? D-Pryde & company? J. Reyez, Tommy C, and all the extra cameos? Don’t forget, you have so much power in your hands right now. Your vote will determine…. well, it only really determines who has the highest number of votes with no true qualitative value, but who cares! That’s what being Young, Wild & Free is all about right? Voting in a meaningless poll? Hello?… You still there?
The Songs About Jeremy Lin Round-Up
If you are Asian-American or have a fair amount Asian-American friends, you may have noticed that NBA’s latest feel-good story, Jeremy Lin, has been a huge hot topic as of late. He’s become a starter for the NY Knicks and has had some great games for several consecutive nights.
Well, the rising basketball star has certainly inspired a lot of people, including some of our artists. Already we’re beginning to see songs about Mr. Lin and we suspect it isn’t over yet. So this post will serve as a running collection of the songs, in reverse chronological order of release (Newest at the top). So far it’s Gowe and Jin, but I’m sure there”ll be more to follow!

Jargon Dyonisis Shares “Ready to Lost It”
Here’s a new joint from the Chi’s Jargon Dyonisis. This one’s called “Ready to Lost It” and features Grace Garcia on the hook. This one falls in the middle of the road as it doesn’t do much to entice or annoy the listener, rather it’s a laid back/easy listening/radio friendly type of Hip-Hop track. It remains to be seen if this will be given the same top notch promotional push as “Modern Day Fairy Tale“.
