Neon Valley Street- TOUGH!

Gotta thank Karisma for putting me on to this song.. The song is by a very very talented young lady by the name of Janelle Monae. It's off of her new album, "The ArchAndroid" which was recently released. Upon giving it a once over, I almost immediately fell in love with the song. The first few seconds of the track has a strong string intro, giving the listener an old 1930's, 40's soundtrack feel, and then her voice just slides into the track and keeps the listener captivated. I promise that if you're a musical enthusiast, you will feel the same. Enjoy! Stay dope...

New Banner...

Thought it would be cool to make the banner for the blog based on Lupe's new album cover, Lasers. Reason being? Amongst all the album covers he could have done, he kept it simple, but maintained a dopeness to it. So I said, hey, I might as well try this out. Just as his cover has a meaning to it, so does our banner. Very simple, but has meaning. So without further ado, scroll up to the very top! Haha.. Oh, got some pretty dope songs to put ya'll on to.. Check the next post! We link...

October's Very Own x Jamaica

Some people won't like the video! That's okay.. I think this video is dope and the reason being? Because it's in Jamaica and features Mavado....!!!! (Whoiiiiii)..The story line is pretty clear in the video so need to go into the logistics except there is a bad female in there..whew..smh... It has a pretty dope "gritty" feel to the film, maintaining the TRUE authentic feel a di Gully Side! lol. Like I said, good job with this one here, and while I'm at it, I'm gonna readily assume that during the shooting of this video, they found the time to record Wayne Marshall's song, "My Heart".. Produced by October's Very Own team... TOUGH tune! Trust that.. Just click play. That's all..*shrugs shoulders*..lol...

P.S.> To the haters, allow me to say this, please understand that Surround Soundz is a family, a cohesive unit. So if you have any issues with one member, you have an issue with the family! Address your problems to the family!

Wayne Marshall: My Heart (BIG TUNE!)

Stop The Party!!!!

Nothing harder than a party rocker to start the summer off right! Who better to do it than the dynamic duo of Busta Rhymes & Swizz Beats. Right off the back, it's a head rocker when the beat drops. This song will add to their already consistent relationship when putting music together. Remember New York Sh#t? Classic. So here it is, another classic for New York. Enjoy!

Lupe Fiasco feat. Alicia Keys



And while we're talking about Alicia Keys, might as well make a segue into her song with Lupe Fiasco off his new album, Lasers. The name of the song is Lover to the Beat. Definitely can feel an oldschool vibe to it with that an intro, but with an uptempo, current flow. Not only does Lupe completely rip the song, but Alicia's voice keeps the feeling mellow. Sidebar, notice that she says in the song that she only has 3 minutes left to get it poppin on the dancefloor! And the song was REALLY @ 3 minutes on the track!!! That's my nerdy tidbit for the day.lol

Unthinkable- Alicia Keys Video

Yeah, best believe this video is touching on alot of issues, but overall, captures through overall theme of the song which issssss(drumroll please).... Doing the unthinkable! Very nice story line and if you're actually paying attention, can capture you for the moment....Might I add, Alicia Keys is looking veryyyy good, as usual.
