                          Cam Meekins is the latest artist to flip Gotye's Somebody That I Used To Know. Download here. Shots fired @ Mac Miller!?


Picture Book - Sunshine (Justin Faust Remix)


                    In January, Picture Book released their first commercial EP At Last. The four track EP, available on iTunes, was co-written and recorded with Grammy nominated vocalist Greta Svabo Bech, who featured on Deadmau5′s Raise Your Weapon. Justin Faust decided to go ahead and remix Sunshine, off At Last. If I was to sum this song up in 2 words, they'd be : instantly catchy. If I was to sum this song up in 7 words, they'd be : all-around dopeness from beginning til' end. I'll shut up now.. hope you enjoy!




Timeflies Tuesday : Ass Back Home (Video)



                    TheJourney's 2012 XXL Freshman Predictions list nominee Timeflies crafted this Neon Hitch-inspired remix to Ass Back Home while they were on their tour bus. Gnarly. Cal & Rez are currently ascending on their ride to stardom. Where the bus will stop, no one knows, but I think it's safe to say it's only a matter of time..


Gorillaz - DoYaThing feat. Andre 3000 & James Murphy (Official Video)

PropaneLv - Feel Alive (Prod. by D.Shuts)


              Feel Alive -- the latest release from Oregon native PropaneLv -- takes us on a ride through regret, emotion, and all the other inevitable outcomes that come with a relationship. Spending most of my life in Oregon before relocating to San Diego for law school, I often miss the Pacific Northwest (the people more than the weather)... but getting to blog about dope artists from Oregon (PropaneLv, BeN GZ, Chi Duly) has a genuine way of making me feel like I'm back in the 503.




Drake & Sigur Ros - Replacement Ros (The Jane Doze Mashup)


                   You're going to dig Jane Doze's latest Drake & Sigur Ros mashup off Girls Talk..




And XXL’s 2012 Freshmen are…


                 Good to see Macklemore made the list. Make sure to check out my interview with Macklemore as well as TheJourney's 2012 XXL Freshman Predictions List - as I think compared to XXL's list - it's loaded with talent. You be the judge..


Gotye - Somebody That I Used To Know (TheFatRat Remix)


                   TheFatRat adds to the seemingly endless list of dope remixes tackling Gotye's international hit Somebody That I Used To Know.

SonReal - Celebrate (Remix)


                  SonReal goes in over Common & No I.D. single Celebrate which samples Kenny Loggin's Celebrate Me Home. Funny sh*t and a true story; I was named Crosby after Kenny Loggin's son (who's also named Crosby). So you already know I heard Celebrate Me Home a griiiiip growing up, haha. In case you missed it, make sure to check out SonReal's last track She Gone, it's the kind of track that has the potential to put SonReal on the map in 2012..





Robin Thicke - Pretty Lil' Heart feat. Lil Wayne (BTS Video)

                  Miike Snow took to his Soundcloud account a few hours ago and uploaded this Wolfgang Gartner Paddling Out remix, the first single off Happy To You --  available March. Check out all our prior posts Sweden's favorite indie-pop band here.




B.o.B. - So Good (PJ Simas & Kelsey Randazzo Cover)


                    Download here and watch above. Time and time again PJ Simas covers a dope track while -- arguably -- it's at the height of it's pop-culture relevance. Slaughterhouse should take cues..


Devine Carama - The Populist Pulpit (Official Video)


                      Devine Carama, an indie hip hop artist from Lexington, KY, hit me up with The Populist Pulpit, off his free album Blood Of A Slave. I digs this. Look for Carama's follow up album Heart Of A King to drop March 23rd. On The Populist Pulpit, Carama said:
Its something soulful, lyrical, and substance driven. Peace & Love.

After releasing Playoff Mode exclusively via TheJourney while also landing on TheJourney's 2012 XXL Freshmen Predictions list, b.FUNK's definitely a group you need to check out!

In other news, anyone got any thoughts on the news that YMCMB has signed Limp Bizkit? #WhoYMCMBWillSignNext

                    So Gone was so good SonReal just had to go ahead and make another set of visuals for the track.

ForteBowie - Impala (Official Video)


                     Two days ago ForteBowie released the official visuals for Impala, which is off ForteBowie's incredibly slept-on 2011 project Something About #Bowie. Can't wait to hear some new music from ForteBowie, the artist responsible for Decatur, one of the catchier feel-good tracks of last year.


EQ - The Metaphor (Official Video)


                               EQ kills this classic Atmosphere instrumental on The Metaphor. This kid is bound to make noise in the game, it's only a matter of time..
"It started with a boy who adopted a religion. Through perpetuation. That is not decision. Though I am not hating, I'm just looking back.."

Jorge Dasterdly - Another Gram feat. Josh Lee


                 Jorge Dasterdly, the man that lives so close he might as well be my neighbor, recently released his latest album Built For Kill which can be listened to/downloaded in it's entirety here. Another Gram is one of those tracks that should be consumed on a hot day next to a BBQ with a cold Caguama. Love this track. Make sure to check out all of TheJourney's prior posts on San Diego's dopest lyricist here.




Romeo Santos – All Aboard feat. Lil Wayne (Official Video)

Hona Costello - Pop The Cork (Freestyle)


Hona Costello was gracious enough to let TheJourney get an exlcusively peak at Pop The Cork, a track that won't be on Hona's forthcoming album Penelope - but is incredible dope nonetheless. This track sounds like it should be bumped in a nice whip on a 70 degree night with the windows down. Penelope, coming soon.. 




EQ - The Tribute (Official Video)


                  The final installment of EQ Tuesdays (coming to you a day late via this busy-ass law student..). The homie continues to make great music!


Gorillaz – DoYaThing feat. James Murphy & André 3000


                    We first caught wind of this collaboration a couple weeks back when Converse announced the latest installment of their on-going Three Artists. One Song campaign. This is one of those crazy collaborations that may take me a few spins to fully appreciate. Listen to DoYaThing here.


Nightline granted inside access to Apple/Foxconn factories (Video)



                  I have no idea why, but an article I wrote back in August titled Foxconn: 1 Million Workers Replaced With Robots + Suicide Nets Installed continues to get roughly 200 hits a day. As such, it only makes sense to post Nightline's report that aired last night which focuses on the Foxconn ran Apple manufacturing centers in China. Kinda feelin' guilty about my own consumer-driven lifestyle choices right about now..

Logic - The Spotlight (Official Video)


                    After promising fans earlier this morning that he'd be dropping some visuals later in the day, Logic comes through with his promise, uploading The Spotlight to YouTube a few minutes ago. The Spotlight is expected to be live on Logic's forthcoming mixtape hat's due out this Spring. Enjoy..


G-Eazy - Marilyn


                  G-Eazy went public with Marilyn earlier this morning. The old school swag, self-produced beats and sick flow make G-Eazy a shoe-in to make some noise in 2012. Check out TheJourney's substantial backlog of G-Eazy posts here. On Marilyn, G-Eazy said;
Check out my new single ‘Marilyn’ featuring New Orleans’ indie songstress Dominique LeJeune. After seeing her play at a small DIY backyard concert, I tracked her down and brought her to my studio. She’s got such an amazing, unique voice, so I was stoked to see what we could put together. The outcome was an extremely personal song about the highs and lows of an intense relationship.




IG88 - Seahorse Paternity Test


                       Seahorse Paternity Test is the second track that I've posted off IG88's recently released album A Loom & Not Me (the first being Intentions of A Dart Frog). It's getting to the point where IG88's record label should really just lock him and Jenni Potts in a room until an album is finished. We all know that album would be incredible. They have such good chemistry, which is evident by the multiple Jenni Potts featured IG88' tracks that I've posted over the last few months. Make sure to support IG88, otherwise known as Bellingham's dopest producer by checking out A Loom & Not Me here.





Jared Evan - Kill Me (Official Video)


                     The Second single off Jared Evan's upcoming Interscope release The 4th Chapter gets some well deserved visuals. Anyone else hoping Jared Evan's blows up in 2012?

Hona Costello - All Around The World feat. Stige


                 All Around The World is the second single off Hona Costello's forthcoming album PENELOPE. Setting himself apart from many of his hip-hop counterparts, Hona continues to craft choruses that have as much replay-value as the verses that accompany them. If you're new to the blog, make sure to check out Hona Costello's mixtape #FollowMe which landed at #26 on TheJourney's Top 50 Albums of 2011 list. Hona also produced and rapped on a track with BeN GZ (a buddy of mine since the days of grade-school) a few months back called Lost and Found, make sure to peep that too. PENELOPE, out soon..

Chi Duly – Balloons of Haus (Mixtape)

| Dope artwork | 
                  After a few select leaks, Chi Duly lets loose Balloons of Haus in it's entirety. If all goes well, some major notoriety will be headed Chi Duly's way in 2012. With notoriety comes the opportunity to put the traditional 9-5'er on the back-burner and pursue one's dreams. Good news for fans of this Portland-raised, NYC-bound producer.





Jhameel - Waves (Official Video)



                           I have two of the coolest grandmothers in the world (who are both roughly the same age as Jhameel's grandmother). Time is short. Jhameel's loss is a well-heeded lesson to myself. On behalf of TheJourney's viewers, our condolences..
