1000 HITS! Plus New Music!

Ok guys first things first! Hip-Hop Alive! Has gotten over 1000 hits! Thats in less then 1 month! Thats craziness! Word of mouth must really be getting around! All I can say is thanks to everyone who has been supporting me and the Blog. Now lets keep spreading the word and posting the link and doing link exchanges, and continue to sign up for the feed! THANKS PEOPLE!

Now onto some music......sorry that its taking me so long to get some more CD reviews done...I promise to pump out quite a few over the next few weeks I've just been really busy lately!

I want to tell you guys about some new artists I have recently got to take a listen to. The first is a young rapper known as A.T.M. He is a young rapper out of Brooklyn N.Y., A.T.M. stands for "After The Money" which for those of you who need some explanation....means that he is after the money! He got his start in rapping at age 10, and has been putting out tracks over the past few years. He also has been ghost writing for other artists for awhile now.

Now A.T.M. is a good young rapper, with a nice flow, who reminds me a little of Fabolous. He has a nice flow, and easily makes good R&B style tracks, most of his songs are remixes to top R&B hits. He makes good vibes with his music. I really like him....but...I don't like the fact that all he has out right now are remixes, and he only averages about 1 verse per song.....I think he needs to work on putting out some more original content out there. He is currently unsigned, and that might have something to do with it. Just some advice for A.T.M. try to get with a producer or something and at least make a demo or mix tape....that will really let people get a feel for who you really are as an artist. Other then that though I really like his style and flow, and I hope he makes it and I can see him put out a hit record some day, because I think he can do it!

Check him out on his MySpace

Now onto another artist: Colin Munroe. Now he is not a rapper, hes more of a producer/R&B singer. He has produced many of Canada's Top Urban Hits. Colin is a Go-To guy in Canada's Urban Music scene. He has finally decided to pursue his music career on the artist side as well as the producer. He has recently inked a deal with Award-Winning Super Producer Dallas Austin, to put out Colin's debut album "Don't Think Less Of Me" sometime here in 2008. Colin has a unique sound, not your average R&B sound, more of a mixture between a Emo Rock Singer, and an R&B Singer, with a bit of an accent.

Munroe has made a remix to Kanye West's "Flashing Lights" in titled "I Want Those Flashing Lights" It's gaining ton of buzz, and even Kanye himself has posted it on his website. (I am working on getting an exclusive interview with Colin for you guys)

Colin's Debut LP will be released sometime in 2008 and right now I can't get a hold of any of the songs for it, but I will try to soon. You can however download "I Want Those Flashing Lights" here. Anyways I really like Colin's unique sound and style, and for a Super-Producer like Dallas to sign on to this project makes it obvious that Colin is a superstar in the waiting. I can't wait to see his debut album, and get back to you guys with more info about it. Make sure you check the video out and download the song! Check out his MySpace!

Anyways I really think you guys should check these 2 guys out ASAP! They both are promising young artists. I hope to get you guys some more exclusive content real soon. For now thats all I got. I have to go to the Basketball game now, and hopefully I don't get kicked out of this one! Haha check back soon!
