The Adele Youtube Covers Round-Up – 2/13/12
Last night, Adele walked away from the Grammys a multi-category winner, and for good reason since she’s had a huge year and brought soulful music back to the forefront. And our artists have recognized that quality about her too, which explains why we’ve had countless covers of the singer and her numerous hits, both old and new. Today we bring you 9 more covers, just in case you haven’t had your fill of Adele yet.
Esna x Minseung – “Rolling in the Deep”
Inch Chua - “Rumour Has It”
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!

Tommy C x Lil Crazed Present the “Flawless” MV
It’s a new visual from Tommy C to promote the yet to be released C Mixtape. The track is “Flawless” and features frequent collaboration, Lil Crazed on the guest rap vocals. It’s another decent R&B tune from the pair, making a fair case for the two to consider forming a project group together. Either way, the song will be available along with the rest of the mixtape come January, which is the reported drop date.
