Happy New Years!



2009 is upon us so Happy New Year to all. Here are some tracks to burn to use in your limo tonight on the way to the clubs, use in your own house party, or late night once the festivities are done. Just a friendly reminder, please dont drink and drive tonight. Caveat: why do that when you can smoke and fly?

Like the song is called, this beat is fucking Magical. Crazy noises, chimes, sounds with two Superstars over it.

The Newest DJ "We the Best" Khaled song. This is going to be getting major airtime on the radio the next few weeks. Remember you heard it first on the One and Only.

Some Kanye that was released right before 808's before he thought he could sing. Some real good up old school Kanye.

I'm Back...

I've returned from an extraordinary vacation. Unfortunately, they are about 10 years behind the music I post here, so no good beats from Grand Cayman, however, Fear not, I've got you covered. 

 
This CD dropped when Kanye released 808's and Heartbreak so it went un-noticed. However, this song features Jay-Z and Nas, former enemies rapping together over a Wyldfire prodiuce beat. If you pick one song to listen to today, this is it. 

Using the famous 80's song, Your Love by the Outfield, Charles Hamilton, one of the big rappers Hypebeast is pushing kills it. 


PS - 961 hits in 2 weeks. not bad. shoutout to the copymachine.blogspot.com and EQuin.

Off to the Caribbean

In 5 days, I've gotten 525 hits to this site.
For those of you Newbies to the One and Only, make sure you look down to the first post, seriously. Some awesome LIL WAYNE FT IMOGEN HEAP (a must listen), a song by upcoming rapper Asher Roth called I Love College, a JUSTICE mashup, KANYE WEST trying electro on the song Gifted, and for the adventurous ones, listen to PASSION PIT.

This will be my last post for a week because Im off to the Caribbean, so snatch up the other songs you don't have. Bon Voyage. See you next week...




The new Justice DVD and live CD has been released. This video is the trailer for it. Expect lots of Justice on this blog, so heres a sample of who they are (the video just happened to post on a girl flashing those melons, hows that for a wild video)

The French Duo have put all their songs into one "Medley" including We Are your Friends, D.A.N.C.E, Genesis, etc. A 5 minute tune that any Justice fan will love and recognize the songs.

The title should explain it all. Justice's breakout hit with hip hop extraordinaire, Mos Def.

Recently, Maroon 5 has been featured on a bunch of different rap songs. Huh? This is one of the best I've heard with The Cool Kids, who are blowing up on the underground rap scene.

Miami is the Sickest

Good Morning,

A couple quick things:
1) While this blog was started for friends going abroad and just for fun, I have received over 400 views in four days and the numbers grow everday. Thats sick. keep it up. tell your friends.

2) Miami is awesome. For all you haters, look at the photo below. That was taken from my house. The weather here now is perfect. I will be hitting the beach as soon as I post this featuring songs by Miami's king and Boss of Bosses, Rick Ross.


Rick Ross and Kanye - Heartless remix
This song needs no introduction

Rick Ross- Hustlin
This song made Rick Ross famous. I saw him perform at FIU, a hood-ass college in Miami, in front of no more than 200 people.

John Legend with RICK ROSS and Andre 3000 - Give me the Greenlight
In honor of Miami, this post features some Rick Ross. You all know this song. Heres a sick remix. Shoutout to Pinky and The Copy Machine on this track.


... and I know this is supposed to be a music blog but I thought these were dope; Ray Ban Wayfarers that you can customize and design yourself. www.Rayban.com

I'm in MIAMI bitch. - click links to listen then download


LMFAO - I'm in Miami bitch
Like LMFAO says, "I'm in Miami bitch". So amazing to be home.
Just in case you dont have this song its posted above. A fiery electro jam.


Shawn Anthony - Back Home
Shawn Anthony - Good Stuff
Also today a new rapper named Shawn Anthony. Like Lil Wayne, this guy is from Louisiana. These tracks have a Sublime/Pepper/Slightly Stoopid sound to them but, Shawn spits like Common or the Clipse. This guy was featured in the closing songs for "Entourage" in one episode and is blowing up since...

Those of you reading this, whatre your thoughts on the blog thus far. Comment after the jump.

Winter Break - Click the links to listen and download

Greetings World.

It is the final day of my fall semester; got a Final in 5 hours. In honor of Winter Break and the end of finals, watch this quick, funny video about scrambling to finish an exam. Below the video is the brand new unreleased T.I and Justin Timberlake as well as some other cool tracks.




Justin Timberlake and T.I - If I

Any duo between these two is sure to be a hit especially when its like this produced by Timbaland. Admittedly, Its not as good as "Dead and Gone" and "My Love" but keep your ear out. In the next two months or so, this song to get some major airtime. Remember, you heard it first here, on the One and Only.

Jay-Z and Oasis - Wonderback
I love Jay-Z. Hes my favorite rapper so if you read this blog, prepare for lots of Hova. I also love mashups (when they are done well. tons of them are shit). The guys that mashed up Oasis Wonderwall with Jay-Z here are called Cooking Soul. They are from Spain, and are upcoming producers making legit tracks for the Game and more.

Hungover in Doheny Library - click the yellow links to listen and download

Reckonerz

Okay RadioHead fans. The first two tracks above are off a sick album produced by Amplive using "In Rainbows" for samples. Featuring Nor Cal rappers like Charli2na.

The other track is a Diplo edit. Song is called California Soul and Marlena Shaw, the singer has soul. You'll def recognize this track once you hear it. Like the adidas song post below, this song has also been featured in ads for MTV, etc.

Sorry this post isn't as descriptive and long as the others. I have a raging headache, am hungover, and am cramming away for a final. Also, new music is released through iTunes today, so even though Im not the biggest fan, take a listen to the new Fallout Boy and Of Montreal. Happy Tuesday.

Be Bold - click the links to listen and download

N.A.S.A, Kanye West, Santogold, Lykke Li- Gifted 
An awesome collabo. Kanye is branching out with all his singing and now he plays just the tip with some electro. 

Sampled "checkin my fresh" from Swagger like us. A jam. 

An awesome song. Sampled Franki Valli and was featured in the Adidas commercial for what looks like the most amazing house party of all time. One of Adidas's most expensive commercials EVER  and David Beckham, Russel Simmons, Katy Perry, Missy, Redman and Method Man, Young Jeezy, Run DMC all appear. I hate watching videos on Blogs but its posted below and is def worth a view.

Procrastination: Click the links to listen and download...

A sick mash up with legendary African musician. Full mixtape is called Nigerian Gangster.

Not on the Drought 6 or Dedication 3. In my opinion, the hottest Weezy track out now.

This song is about smoking herb, drinking nattys, and going to laytown. Asher Roth is said to be the next Eminem, played beer pong at my house, and describes himself as Frat Rap. This song is a jam, reminds me of Bad Ronald if any of you even know who that is.

You know Day N Nite. Kid Cudi is predicted to be one of the biggest rappers of 2009. Off his mixtape "A kid Named Cudi". You need to hear this loud or with headphones for its deep thumping bass.

Justice + Uffie (not David Uffins but a sick new rapper). FYI - a new Justice DVD and live CD called "A Cross the Universe" coming out this week. This post has mostly rap but expect lots of rock, house, and electro too.

Crazy sounds. Sick beat. This is a must. When I hit Genius on iTunes, Ratatat, Chromeo, Simian Mobile Disco, and M.I.A all popped up. I dont really have words to describe this.

Off the "10 Deep" mixtape. Anyone from South Florida should hear this jam. Guaranteed to be driving down I-95 or cruising South Beach with this blazing from your speakers this holiday break.

Welcome to the One and Only.

Greetings World.

Welcome to the One and Only. People always ask me for mixtapes and CDs. So I said what the fuck. I'll put the hottest, most fresh, alpha, ballin, banging songs I can find on my own blog. I promise you the sickest tracks ranging from rap to electro to reggae to rock. Anything from the latest Lil Wayne joint, a Daft Punk set, Ratatat-Bob Marley mash up, and I even heard Biggie and Pac were coming back from the dead to drop their new single on my page. True story.

I will be updating this on the regular, prolly daily,  so those of you in Miami, LA, NYC, Tokyo, Hong Kong, Copenhagen, Madrid, Cape Town, Antarctica, wherever... put this on your desktop bar and keep your ears open. If there is something you think I need to hear, drop me a line. 

To those of you going abroad, much love.
