Joe Budden Perform’s New Music @ SOB’s
Mikey: Last night, Jumpoff Joe Budden rocked the 1st of his back to back sold out shows at SOBs in New York City. With about 80% of the crowd made up of dudes that took either a bridge or a tunnel to get to the venue, Jersey was in clear support. Before letting Joell Ortiz get some shine, Budden went in on a new joint from his forthcoming album The Great Escape, it may be “Pray For Me pt.2″ but he didn’t say. (shouts to Kozza)
Kid Cudi’s Man On The Moon – The End Of Day Is Complex Magazines Album Of 09
Complex – Hip-hop’s lonely stoner threw the “debut rap album” blueprint out the window with his bold opening statement, a somber trip into the mind of Scott Mescudi. With producers Emile, Plain Pat, and Ratatat driving most of the music, Man On The Moon shows a remarkably fully-formed sound—dark, melodic, spacious—a feat that most unfocused artists strive for their entire career. Mixing the easy thump of hip-hop with the relentlessly introspective sensibility of indie rock, Cudi pushed the boundaries of both worlds, perfectly capturing 2009’s unapologetically creative spirit.
Complex put together a list of their top 25 albums of 09 and have announced Cudi as being number one. Congrats to Cudi and great job complex on a list with which I pretty much agree with 100%. Shout to Theophilus London, J.Cole, Major Lazer and Miike Snow on all being included on the list. See the full list here.
