MIXTAPE PICK "THE RESUME"- CANDACE JOELLE

YESTERDAY C. Blanco RECEIVED A COPY OF "THE RESUME" MIXTAPE BY CANDACE JOELLE (http://www.myspace.com/candacejoelle). NOW, LET ME START OFF BY SAYING EITHER THERE IS A SHORTAGE OF TALENTED SINGERS OR MAYBE THEY ALTOGETHER JUST DON'T EXIST ANYMORE WITH THE EXCEPTION OF CANDACE JOELLE. AS SOON AS THE MIXTAPE STARTED MY EARS WERE ENTHRALLED BY THE !SEXY! SONG CALLED "Planet Love". THE VERSE'S "SINGING-IN-ROUNDS" STYLE PROVED STYLISH AND WELL EXECUTED. THE SONGS "24/7" AND "Say Goodbye" SHOW OFF HER TALENT FOR WRITING LYRICS THAT THE "EVERYDAY WOMAN" CAN RELATE TO AND THE MOST MEN COULD LEARN FROM. THERE IS ALSO THE GEM "Can't Wait 'til Morning" ON WHICH WE GET TO HEAR MELODIC MULTI-LAYERED HARMONIES THAT ARE CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP FOR THE HEART. WITH TEMPOS FROM THE MELANCHOLY LOW TO THE ENERGETIC ANTHEM HIGHS LIKE ON THE SONG "You Can't" . . . "THE RESUME" MIXTAPE IS A MUST DOWNLOAD!

DICE THE NICEST FEAT. BLACK KARMA "STEP MY GAME UP"

DICE THE NICEST AND BLACK KARMA GET BUSY ON THIS RELAXING TRACK AND WERE KIND ENOUGH TO DROP CARROT BOMBS ON 'EM WITH THIS VIDEO. C. Blanco LIKES TO THINK OF AS AN "ODE TO THE BBQ". THIS SONG CAN BE FOUND ON DICE THE NICEST'S "ALMOST FAMOUS" AS WELL AS HIS AND BLACK KARMA'S GROUP PROJECT ENTITLED "R.S.V.P.". GET INTO IT!

MIXTAPE PICK "CULDESAC"- CHILDISH GAMBINO

CHILDISH GAMBINO'S FIFTH PROJECT IS AN AMAZING COMPILATION OF INDIE SAMPLED SONGS, DRAKE-ESQUE SINGING, INTELLECTUAL PUNCHLINES, AND LYRICS STUFFED WITH TRUTH. ALTHOUGH ON PAPER IT MAY SEEM CHEESY TO FIND OUT THAT YET ANOTHER RAPPER IS DOING SOMETHING LIKE DRAKE, C. Blanco FOUND THAT SONGS LIKE "Got This Money" AND "So Fly" WERE ACTUALLY REFRESHING AND A NICE COMPLIMENT TO CHILDISH GAMBINO'S FLOW. FOR THE FANS OF GAMBINO'S EARLIER MIXTAPES THERE ARE SONGS SUCH AS "You Know Me", WITH HIS TRADEMARK HEAVY HORN-DRIVEN BEATS AND NASALLY DELIVERED RAPS AND "LET ME DOPE YOU". OVERALL, IF YOU NEED A BREAK FROM "MONEY, CARS, AND CLOTHES" FLOWS . . . THE "CULDESAC" IS WHERE YOU NEED TO BE.

MIGUEL FEAT. J. COLE "ALL I WANT IS YOU"

BEING THE INTER-DIMENSIONAL CONNOISSEUR OF FINE DINING, C. Blanco WENT ON A SMALL VACAY . . . BUT NEVER FEAR, THE LONG-EARED ONE HAS RETURNED (WITH A VENGEANCE). MIGUEL AND J. COLE GET OFF ON THIS FUNKY BASSLINE. IT TAKES C. Blanco BACK TO ANOTHER TIME. THIS SONG IN ITS ENTIRETY IS MAD CARROTS.
