Shakes - Blame The Bacardi [Audio]

Brampton, ON - Last Friday night I was fortunate enough to witness a great show in Toronto. It was an R&B/hip-hop showcase, which was comprised of phenomenally talented female rappers and vocalists. One of the performers was Brampton rapper Shakes. One of the tracks that she performed was "Blame The Bacardi." This song is fire, it has substance and a catchy beat. Be on the lookout for more music from this talented lyricist. You can listen to "Blame The Bacardi" below.

Blu - Good to Be Home [Album]

Los Angeles, CA - Blu's latest masterpiece Good to Be Home is arguably his best album and it has the perfect balance of flawless wordplay and production. This Bombay-produced album is soul hip-hop at its finest. Bombay is a magician when it comes to chopping up soul samples, and he has proven that he can go toe-to-toe with any producer in the game. Blu's lyricism is on point as usual. He always keeps it real and spits the truth. If you're going for cruise this summer make sure you listen to "Summer Time," which is my personal favourite. Check out the link below to stream the album in its entirety.
