Bow Wow - Sweat Feat. Lil Wayne (Official Video)

Blackwitchmoth - Lovecraft


                 After a relaxing and sore weekend @ Black Bear attempting to learn to Snowboard, it's back to school for me today. Blackwitchmoth's (creepy name, dope group) Lovecraft will be on constant repeat today as I try to get back into the swing of this thing they call law school.

Blackwitchmoth - Lovecraft


Cake - Mustache Man (Wasted) [Official Video]




                 Here's Cake's latest set of official visuals. I bumped Cake soooo much back in the day. From Rock N' Roll Lifestyle, to The Distance and Never There, Cake was one of the premiere alternative rock groups of the 1990's.

Daughter - Youth (Love Thy Brother Remix)


     I've never heard a dubstep remix quite like Love Thy Brother's rendition of Daughter's Youth. You be the judge. 

Youth - Daughter (Love Thy Brother Remix)


Emilio Rojas - Breaking Point (Mixtape)


              Without further adieu, Emilio's long-awaited BBC-sponsored project is finally here. Breaking Point's title track has one of the dopest hip-hop beats I've heard in a minute, can't wait to see what else Emilio's latest project has to offer.

Download: Emilio Rojas - Breaking Point (Mixtape)


Smoke Trixx - P*ssy Cocaine (Dubstep Remix)


                 Smoke Trixx, who produced many of the tracks off Skinny and Smoke Trixx's latest project The Smoke Kings, recently flipped the script on Tiger Love's P*ssy Cocaine, incorporating the kind of unsubtle dubstep influences that are sure to get your party started this weekend.

Florence and the Machine - Lover To Lover (Official Video)


                 Judging by Flo's latest set of official visuals off Ceremonials -- which her camp released earlier today -- it'd be fair to assume her 2012 international tour is going to be killer.


Scott Bonnono - Sh*t Medical Students Say (Video)


               Scott Bonnono's back! After a short hiatus from his hilarious stand-up gig, Scotty B gives the rest of us a small glimpse into Sh*t Medical Students Say, all the while racking up well over a hundred thousand views in the span of a few days. Good sh*t! There's not many things cooler than seeing a guy that you've known since the days of portable CD-Players and Durasheen Nike shorts have some serious success.


Jared Evan - Kill Me


               Confession time. I can't stop bumpin' Jared Evan's Traffic Lights. Ever since BeN GZ brought Jared Evan to my attention, everything the man releases seems to be straight fire. If I was a radio-station, Evan's would be getting constant spins, can't help but think 2012's his year. Kill Me is off Evan's upcoming EP The Fourth Chapter.

Jared Evan - Kill Me

Jorge Dasterdly - Built For Kill (Official Video)


                 The homie Jorge Dasterdly (who lives about 5 miles from my pad) released the official visuals off Built For Kill two days ago. Rockin' over Game and Lil Wayne's Red Nation, Dasterdly implores an unorthodox flow while continuing his brand of intelligent and witty lyricism. This is that 'Google-Search' rap shit. I'm regularly Googlin' Jorge's lyrics in an effort to figure out what exactly he's referencing. Built For Kill is off Dasterdly's new album, which will be dropping tomorrow in it's entirety via TheJourney.

Adventure Club - Do I See Color


                  Can't quite put my finger on it, but for some reason the first minute of Adventure Club's latest release really speaks to me. On the flip-side, the concluding 3 minutes of this track are 'dub-steppy' enough to leave someone like Grandpa Al in a mild-state of confusion. On that note, enjoy..

Adventure Club - Do I See Color



Gabriel Stark - VII


                 Flipping Gotye's infectious single Somebody That I Used To Know, the homie Gabriel Stark takes a moment to lets some ish of his chest.

Gabriel Stark - VII



Meg Myers - Monster (Official Video)


               On the real though, a conservative estimate would find that I still bump Meg Myers' Adelaide at least two to three times a day.


The Schwazdads - I'm On One & Open Road Mashup (Slightly Stoopid, Drake & Lil Wayne)


                   The Schwazdads' mashup Slightly Stoopid's Open Road alongside Drake & Lil Wayne's lyrics off I'm On One. As an extra, check out 1/2 of The Schwazdads take on Dispatch's classic track Bang Bang.

Feds raid Megaupload; Anonymous downs FBI, DoJ, UMG, RIAA in large-scale cyber attack


                 Don't be surprised to see some of your favorite sites begin to self-regulate and 'police' themselves with more scrutiny in light of yesterday's raids. Megaupload touted roughly one billion visits to their website, more than 150 million registered users, and nearly 50 million daily visitors, which accounts for roughly four percent of the total traffic on the internet. Interesting to note that Swizz Beatz (affectionately known as Swizz Keys), who's believed to be the Chief Executive Officer of Megaupload, was not named in the Department of Justice's 72-page indictment.

No Pets Allowed - What Overnight Celebrities Know (Twista X Kanye West X Two Door Cinema Club)


                  No Pets Allowed takes one of the tracks that I bumped most often in high-school (Overnight Celebrities.. yup, I officially feel old now..) and mashes it up alongside Two Door Cinema Club's What You Know. I diiigs this. Also, in case ya somehow missed it, yesterday was an experiment in digital democracy. History was made as thousands upon thousands of websites censored themselves in a defiant sign of dissent -- the likes of which had not been witnessed before. Google launched a petition. Wikipedia voted to shut itself off. Craigslist went to "blackout" mode. Senators' websites went down just from the sheer surge of voters trying to write them. NYC and SF geeks (also; lover's of free-speech) had protests that packed city blocks. Good shiiit.

                   On Tuesday, Phony Ppl released their latest project Phonyland. Alongside 4 The 1st Time, I Wish I was a Chair is my jam! Make sure you say what up Phony Ppl on Facebook. Is that a mustache in the street?



Skizzy Mars - Sirens


                      Offering a sick flow, insane production, and one of the catchier names in hip-hop, there's a reason Skizzy Mars landed on TheJourney's 2012 XXL Freshmen Predictions list. On Sirens, Skizzy said;
Another track I wanted to share. A remake of one of the first songs I ever recorded. Sirens. Enjoy.
Skizzy Mars - Sirens



Mike Posner & Blackbear Cover "Stay Schemin" (Video)


                  Mike Posner & Blackbear take Stay Schemin -- a track that basically turned into a medium by which Drake and Common could trade jabs w/ one another -- and turns it into an acoustic masterpiece.


Foster The People - Don't Stop (TheFatRat Remix)


                     TheFatRat comes through with his official remix to Foster The People's Don't Stop.

STOP AMERICAN CENSORSHIP - SOPA/PIPA STRIKE!


              As you've already likely noticed, thousands of websites are "blacked out" today in a sign of protest against SOPA & PIPA. From some of the most influential sites on the planet -- like Wikipedia.org, Reddit.com and Craigslist.org -- to smaller, less influential sites -- like TheJourney -- today, proponents of free-speech are making their voices heard. Due to issues existing between GoDaddy and Blogger (the platforms used to run TheJourney), I've been unable to "black out" TheJourney. As such, please do your part in helping the strike against censorship.

              Super simple. Just:

1) LIKE University Union's Facebook Page and follow them on Twitter. They are folks responsible for throwing this on-campus concert.

Cobe Obeah - Dark Night (Official Video)


                   Right when I started to lose hope in ever seeing one of the 5 Songs TheJourney Is Dying To See Made Into Official Music Videos, Cobe Obeah comes through in the clutch.


Common – Celebrate Live (Video)


              Backed by the Legendary Roots Crew, Common taps into one of the less "controversial" tracks off The Dreamer/The Believer.


Russian Crow Rooftop Snowboarding (Video)


                 Is that a frisbee? A giant condom? Who knows. What a cool fuzzin Crow though. This vid was uploaded to YouTube yesterday. The evolution of intellect primarily focuses on monkeys and apes due to their close evolutionary relationship w/ humans, but other large-brained social animals, such as Crows, have been said to have human-like intelligence. iiiinteresting..

Yelawolf - Let's Roll Feat. Kid Rock (Official Video)



                Interscope took to the net yesterday with the official visuals for YelaWolf and Kid Rock's collabo Let's Roll. Is it me, or does Yela seem like the kinda dude that'd be down for some good ol' Noodling?


STS - Cut Me Off (Gotye Sample)


                   If it wasn't already obvious by now, I'm enthralled with Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know. Outside of M83's Midnight City, Adele's Rolling In The Deep and Flo's Shake It Out, Somebody That I Used To Know is most definitely one of the premiere releases of 2011. STS decides to flip Goyte's joint into a lyrical exercise in relationship quarrels.

| Read the entire article here
                The human condition is a f*cking trip. Don't these poor folks know that defiance will only usher in the inevitable robots at an even quicker rate? This isn't the first time TheJourney has posted on Foxconn. Damn, I've dedicated a lot of $ to my Xbox over the years, kinda feel like a piece of sh*t right about now..

Pope: Gay Marriage a threat to humanity's future

| diiiiiggin that hat | 
              In an unprecedented display of compassion and kindness yesterday, the Pope attacked homosexual folks, stating, "This is not a simple social convention, but rather the fundamental cell of every society. Consequently, policies which undermine the family threaten human dignity and the future of humanity itself." Read the entire article here. Annnnnd it's these kind of irresponsible statements from peeps in positions of authority that perpetuate uneducated beliefs, discriminatory public-policy and outright violence. It also reinforces a 'bullying' mentality in our young, impressionable youths - kinda reminiscent of this 1968 experiment.
              In other (seemingly more rational) news, science is cool. Over the past few weeks, evolution has been in action through what scientists now believe to be the first fire-starting chimpanzee, and in the discovery of 57 hybrid black-tip sharks off the coast of Australia. Science > Stigma.


JMSN - Something (Official Video)


           Damn JMSN, you outdid yourself with this one. Love this video from beginning to end. Make sure to check out our prior posts on JMSN.
This Song is about that something thats inside of us all the time that we try to fill with these superficial things. Physical pleasure, monetary pleasure and whatever else we want and think we need. It never fills that space in us. But we continue to do it over and over again hoping the next time we’ll get a different result.

Tyga - Rack City (Official Video)



                Playing off Grand Theft Auto 5's trailer, Tyga drops his latest set of official visuals. Will someone please explain to me why I like this track so much? It makes no sense. Unfettered lyrical ignorance. You know you like it too though!

                One of the sickest multi-feature tracks of 2011 gets crafted into an early 2012 official video. Bama did their thing tonight, yeah?


Lupe Fiasco - The End Of The World (Unofficial Video)



            Here's a fan-made video for the M83-sampled The End Of The World track off Lupe Fiasco‘s Friend Of The People mixtape. The above video was blocked by YouTube for over a month. Glad to see YouTube changed their minds on this one. 
“I shot and edited everything but the Wall Street sign at the beginning, most of the police and rally footage was from the mass arrests on the Brooklyn Bridge in early October but I spent 2 weeks at Occupy Wall Street in late September early October and there is footage from that whole time. 
I was very involved in the 3 week Wisconsin Capitol occupation last year that was instrumental in the foundation of the Occupy movement. Since then I have been doing a lot of documentational video work on the corrupt dealings of Scott Walker and his crew. Then when Occupy got started I went out there to do what I could.”

b.FUNK - CHeCk yO mIND


             Do I hear a jazz flute in the background of CHeCk yO mIND? Ron Burgendy would be proud! This crazy-cool concoction is the self-titled track off b.FUNK'S upcoming project CHeCk yO mIND. Anyone else catch TheJourney shoutout @ the end of this track!? So dope.

Sol - 2020 (Official Video)



              2020 is the seond offering from Sol's upcoming album Yours Truly. I really dig the message Sol conveys on this track, and it's cool to see a sober Macklemore chumming it up with Sol @ the @ the 2:18 mark.

               Eliza Doolittle takes the acoustic route in covering The Weeknd's track The Morning.

Chiddy Bang - Ray Charles (Official Video)


            Here goes the official visuals for Ray Charles, the first single off Chiddy's highly-anticipated debut album Breakfast.
“The song actually started out as a joke when my brother, Cheeseburger Don, got so high he fell asleep in the studio with his sunglasses on. I looked over and he reminded me of Ray Charles, probably because I was high, too. I started freestyling about him and we laid it down right there.”


SBTRKT – Wildfire (PatrickReza Remix) [Official Video]


                Taking no days off, only a few dozen hours removed from releasing his official Wildfire remix, PatrickReza comes through with the accompanying visuals for this SBTRKT-inspired banger.

             Meg Myers' took to her facebook page last night with Adelaide. This song is nothing short of something special. Make sure to check out Meg Myers' Soundcloud page for more free downloads from the Tennessee turned Los Angeles-based songstress. I'm embarked on my toughest schedule to date this term in Law School. A whole bunch of really rough classes. Try not to hold it against me if some of my posts are shorter than normal. Probably should have taken advice from other bloggers and split TheJourney's posts among multiple writers. ahhh well.
   Happy thurrrsday. here’s another song that will be on my EP
