"WHEN IM GONE"- Wiz Khalifa

"And they say all I rap about is bitches and champagne,
you would' too if every night you seen the same thing,
money wall to wall, young famous nigga,
spend it all,
When you die you can't take it with ya..."

As per one of my facebook statuses, I posted how I refused to listen to anymore Wiz Khalifa leaks until his album "Rolling Papers" dropped officially. Sure enough, I went out first thing that morning, March Taylor9th, and bought the actual CD. The wait and the anticipation made me appreciate every track that much more. The one in particular that i'm vibing to the most is actually the album's first track. This intro and buildup is epic, and the song riiiddessss...Congrats Wiz, you killed it once again. See you and Mac on 4-20! #SUPPORTGOODMUSIC

"ALWAYS BEEN"- Smoke DZA feat. Mac Miller

"Yea its kinda like that..."

"NY NY"- Chronic Future

Few people drive away and like what's in their rearview....
New york city's so far away
But I can't wait even for one more day
They say these things come and these things go
But if I don't try I'll never know...

I might or might not have posted this song before, but I've been listening to it alot lately, and it encompasses my feelings pretty accuratley. I can't wait to move to NY, leave all the fake, not-genuine people behind, and start fresh. This is my time, and i'm ready.

"ME VS MARADONA VS ELVIS"- Brand New

"You can sin or spend the night all alone"

"PYRITE (FOOL'S GOLD)"- Frank Ocean

Just more amazing music from Frank Ocean

"Babe, just say you miss me, is it that hard?"

"THE LONGEST TEXT MESSAGE"- Childish Gambino

Obviously you know I can't get enough of Childish Gambino. He dropped this one on twitter late Sunday afternoon. I must have listened to it at least 100 times while studying last night!

“I got so many fucking girls I can’t even count em’
Theres probably 6 or 7 girls that think this songs about them
never kiss in public but at home I am affectionate
fucking bitches left and right my dick is ambidextrous..."

DOUBLE SHOT of Frank Ocean

I have been vibing so hard to Odd Future lately, but Frank Ocean in particular just puts me in the zone. If you are not on the Frank Ocean tip, or Odd Futre in general, I suggest you educate yourself ASAP. Download his whole mixtape HERE @ Dat Piff

"NATURE FEELS"


"SWIM GOOD"

"THROUGH THE FIRE"- JAMS feat. Bradley Bacci

Killllllllllllllls it!

"FENCER"- Phoenix and Lil Wayne (Remixed by Tumblewoof)

Ive been vibing to this small mixtape recently by Tubmblewoof that mashes up Phoenix with Lil Wayne. This track sticks out to me specifically because of the breakdown at 3:03. Pure. Study. Kush.

"HEARTBREAK COLLISION"- Dolla

"Used to be running through my mind
Now you're jogging
Now you're just walking
And footsteps lightly..."

"BDE BONUS" (Mac Miller feat. Biggie)- Big Z Remixes

YESSSSS!!!!! We've always been a huge Big Z fan here at the moon blog, but this time, the kid out-does himself. Big Z puts his touch on my favorite track off of Mac Miller's new mixtape, "BEST DAY EVER" and adds some Biggie! Listen close and keep a napkin handy because your ears are about to bust a nut...

"GOD OF JOY (DIONYSUS)"- Anthem

I'm not sure where this came from but I love the lyrics, and this beat just leaves you with a "feel good" kind of vibe. It also mentions Zoe Saldana,and she is TOO fine...

"FREAKS"- Wale (Bird Peterson remix)

This is "wet jam" sent my way courtesy of Young Hilbs!

"BLOOD BANK"- Bon Iver

Slowing it down a bit this morning with some Bon Iver, for those of you who are in study mode...float on

"IM COMING HOME"- J.Cole

Well, its official...I am moving to New York in 2 months for law school!

IM COMING HOME!!!!!!!!

"LIGHTS TURNED ON"- Childish Gambino

Its so hard to find a specific line to quote with Gambino songs, because the entire song is quotable!

"Do this and I just might wife you,
Let me poke ya ma, Raichu"

"For me, by me, fuck Fubu
This girl never heard of me, go and check YouTube"

"SUPERRETROFUTURE II"- Rick Ross Feat. Wiz Khalifa & Wale

W.O.W. J goes hard on this one...

"BIG BROTHER"- Lil Twist

viiiiiibbbbeeeeee

"THE ANNOUNCEMENT"- Jay Electronica

JFK says it best,

"WE CHOOSE TO GO TO THE MOON!!!!"

Jay dropped this track back in November when he announced he was signing to the Roc. I cant stop listening to the beat!

"The Elegant Celebration sent tremors through every nation
The Stars aligned like cars at grand central station"

"GOOD VIBRATIONS"- Young Prince

Newer to the scene, Young Prince goes hard on a Brenton Duvall Beat. I'm starting to love when these two get together.

DCA's HOOD TRACK OF THE WEEK

This is a new feature on the moon. Every week I will put up a hood ass track courtesy of the kid himself, DCA, who is busy holding it down in D.C. kicking ass and saving lives for the time being.

"RED NATION" The Game feat. Lil Wayne

"YONKERS"- Tyler The Creator

If you havn't seen this video yet, you are probably living on Mars. This shit is haunting...

DOUBLE SHOT FROM BDE- Mac Miller

After listening to this mix-tape in it's entirety, several several times...I'm finding it really difficult to pick out my favorite track, since each one is so good. These two in particular have been the ones I find myself repeating most often, so give them a listen and decide for yourself.

1. Get up


2. BDE Bonus track. (Moon material in it's purest form)

"BREAK THE CHAIN"- Lupe Fiasco feat Eric Turner and Sway

Currently my favorite track off Lupe's new album, LASERS. I actually bought this album, and I suggest you do the same, Lupe deserves it! #Supportgoodmusic!

"LETTER TO THE LOST"- Sam Adams

Young Sammy really shows some passion in this track, deviating from the upbeat style of his usual songs.

"FALLING"- Bassnectar feat. Paper Machete

Classic Bassnectar fire...

"YOUR BODY IS A MACHINE"- The Good Natured

Not sure of much background info on this one, but I like it nonetheless...

"BEST DAY EVER"- Mac Miller

THIS MIX-TAPE IS UNREAL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Staying in, sparking an L, and waiting for this to drop tonight was definitely worth it.
Please get yourself educated and go and download this ASAP at "DATPIFF". You're welcome in advance...

"THE RACE"- Wiz Khalifa

"Nothing but net, ain’t back cause i never left."

Me posting a Wiz track on the moon doesn't even require an explanation, you already know...
FAVORITE BEAT OF THE YEAR SO FAR!!! Cannot wait for Rolling Papers on 3/29/11, and 4/20/11 to see him in concert.
-T.G.O.D.

"The World turning, the weed burning
Them haters talking, I keep earning"

"FREAKS AND GEEKS"- Childish Gambino

My favorite artist lately has without a doubt been Donald Glover, aka "Childish Gambino". Gambino's music is one of the main reasons why I decided to bring the moon-blog back. People need to get educated about this guy and fall in love just as I have. I'm going to try to drop at least 3 Gambino tracks a week until further notice. Ive followed him since his days in the comedy group, DERRICK COMEDY. You might remember him from the popular youtube video, "Bro-Rape". While he is not dropping pure poetic general dopeness, he stars on NBC's "Community", and is going on a stand up comedy tour.
Go read his blog at IAMDONALD.COM and follow him on twitter @DonaldGlover

"If I am just a rapper, man, you could've fooled me
I'm the shit, when these dudes talk, they talking bull me"

"BLOW THE SKRILLA" Brenton Duvall

Brenton finallllllyyy dropped new music back in February. In "Blow The Skrilla", he mixes together Skrillex, Too Short, and adds his own touch to make this moon jam. I have been vibing hard to this track for several weeks now. He even tweeted at me and promised not to make us wait so long next time! Hes recently been touring the college scene, and I hope he brings his talents to FL sometime soon.

"HIGHER"- B.o.B.

Easily one of the theme songs for this weeks past Spring Break shenanigans in Key West. If you underestimate his skills as a rapper, please go see him in concert ASAP. I did, and the dude goes HAM

"IN THE MORNING"- J.Cole ft. Drake

I hope everyone has already heard this track. I had the pleasure of seeing it performed live in Gainesville alongside Wale and B.o.b. This easily falls into one of my top 10 favorite beats of the year so far. COLEWORLD

"I’m learning not to judge a woman by the shit that she wears
Therefore, you shouldnt judge a n-gga off of the shit that you hear..."

DOUBLE SHOT of Mac Miller

In anticipation of Mac's new mixtape "BEST DAY EVER" dropping tomorrow, I decided to give him a double shot.
1. "DONALD TRUMP"- I remember waiting up for hours waiting for this video to be dropped, and it was certainly worth the wait!

"Hopefully, I’ll be at the top soon
For now, I’m at my house on the couch, watching cartoons"

2. "IN THE AIR"- Mac leaked this chill track last night. Yours truly gets to see him and Wiz live on 4/20 at the UCF Arena!!! Everyone go and download "Bestdayever" tomorrow, you wont regret it.

"WORDS I NEVER SAID" (Freestyle)- XV

"I never said “remember” cause you never could forget me
To all the girls I’ve hurt and never said “forgive me”, Forgive me!"

XV going in hard on Lupe's "Words I Never Said" In honor of "LASERS" finally dropping.
