Look, the line up has been out for weeks now, and I've been waiting to see who is performing. And let me tell you; the answer is everyone.

Tiesto
DeadMau5
David Guetta
Fedde le Grand
Benny Benassi
Carl Cox
Moby
Paul Van Dyke
Axwell
Dirty South
Armin van Buren

Everyday the line-up expands. Eric Prydz was on the line up, now hes not, but there is no way he wont be there. And photos of Justice keep popping up on the site so I am confident, theyll be there too.

Click here to be taken to the Ultra site.

PS - Just hit 2000 page views and thats fucking awesome. Keep spreading the site and keep spreading the love.

Stop Me


Mark Ronson - Stop Me
Brother to Sam Ronson, Lindsay Lohan's lez DJ girlfriend, Mark Ronson and Daniel Merriwether make a really sick track. This song sounds like it belongs in a commercial.
And even though she hates it, heres a little love for E.Q.

THE NEW "LIVE YOUR LIFE"


Maino ft T Pain - All above
Many of you know and love TI ft Rihanna's "Live your Life". This beat sounds strangely similar and I predict this song is GONNA BLOW UP as will upcoming rapper Maino. shout out to Shaun G for pointing this one out.

One of the funkiest beats I've Heard


Chrome0 - You're so gangster
Literally one of the funkiest beats I've heard in a long time. Try to not tap your foot... I dare you.

Spin me Round


Flo Rida - Spin Me Round
I'm from Miami and truth be told I love just about everything the city. That is except for Flor Rida. I hated Low, and I will never own apple bottom jeans and boots with the fur. However, this song is guaranteed to be a jam that youre gonna hear in the next few months. He sampled "spin me round like a record" from the 80's.

I will always love you


Theophilus London ft Whitney Houston - I will Always love You

Whitneys most famous song with a hot, new upcoming rapper. Girls go crazy over this.

Jay-Z X Radiohead


A lot of people have been telling me to post JaydioHead, a mashup album of Radiohead and Jay-Z. You all know I love sick mashups and by now you know Jigga is my favorite rapper however, I dont know how I feel about this album. I love Jay-Z and I really like Radiohead but the two togther are iffy. 

If youre feeling the song above, the link to download the whole album is www.jaydiohead.com 

Move Your Feet


I've heard this song in so many clubs and never knew what it was. Its such a fun dance song that you cant help but 'move your feet'. Junior Senior is a duo from Denmark and have tons of danceable tracks. This song is admittedly a few years old as the duo broke up in 2008, but those of you new to house or those of you building your collection, this is a fun song to have. 

Some changes to the blog.


Instead of posting like 3 songs at a time, I'm going to shift the format making each post its own unique song. I think that will be better. truth be told, I search everyday for cool songs that I know all of you will love. There is just so much garbage out there. Lemme know how you feel about these changes in the comment section..... 

Santogold is known for her "Brooklyn we Go hard" chorus. She's gonna blow up in this next year. And Weezy on the track always a hit. 

1.23.2009

I got 99 problems. But a bitch aint one.


And as the weekend is upon us, here are some tracks to lead us into it.

Lil Wayne ft Pharell - Yes

Take this post as a caveat. In the past two weeks, Weezy has dropped some tracks which almost makes me wonder if the Drought 7 is coming? I personally dont love this track but its getting some hype and a bunch of you asked me to post this. A real grimey ass beat and its here if you want it.

Justice - We Kids
Brand New Justice. Was premiered on a BBC radio show and within minutes appeared all over the internet. A really cool song, a little more mellow than their earlier stuff.

Inauguration Day


My President is Black Music Video Many of You remember Diddy promoting "Vote or Die". This is from his first meeting with Barack four years ago. Who would have thought he'd be sworn in today as the 44th president of the United States of America.

I'm Back

Sorry I've been M.I.A but I'm back and ready to blog daily. To make up for my absence, I have some incredibly special tracks for you today.



Kanye West ft. Kid Cudi - Sky High
Kanye and DJ Benzi released an official mixtape. This is one of the best songs off of it.

Kanye West ft. Mos Def - Good Night
This a laid back track off the Remix album.

Notorious B.I.G - Love No Hoe
Okay. The quality of this track is iffy, but hey, its unreleased Biggy and I cant complain. Plus its out just in time for Notorious, the BIG movie. The flow of Biggy is impecable and can not ever be duplicated.

Tyga - Just Lean
Lil Wayne's Prodigy. Worth a listen.

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.

12.28.2008

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.
