Wow, an actual musician who is a rapper, Charles Hamilton must be jealous, haha. B.o.B. plays with a live band for an Unplugged show in Atlanta and tears it up. In this clip B.o.B. performs “I’ll Be in the Sky” and it looks like he is a dope performer, I wish the sound quality was just a little better though. I need to get my ass to a B.o.B. show in NYC ASAP, I have been loving his style for a long time and like the work he is doing more everyday.

There was a big show in NYC the other day that I missed that featured Wale, Kid Cudi, Mark Ronson, Che Grand, Colin Munroe and others. It was a pretty big show and was attended by lot of people in the industry, like Jay-Z and 9th Wonder, and seems to have been a good show by all accounts. Kid Cudi debuted his new song off of his upcoming CD and it sounds like it could be a good one. It’s tough because of the awful and sound quality, but even with those distractions you can still hear the lyrics surprisingly well.

These guys performed their Statik Selektah cut at the AllHipHop.com Showcase at SOB’s. I’m pissed I wasn’t there but this is still a great song. Anyone out there still sleeping on this album, Stick 2 the Script, get off your ass and go get it. I wasn’t so sure myself at first, but when I heard song after song of young artists I wanted to hear and dope production I realized I had to get it. Don’t sleep on it!

Devin The Dude “What A Job” Live @ EVR Festival from Devin The Dude on Vimeo.

Nice I was going to post something in honor of the show I am rolling to tonight and coincidentally this pops up. Devin and the Coughee Brothaz are playing tonight at the Highline Ballroom at 9pm. According to Highline’s website last week, those were the only two acts listed on the bill tonight. It should be a great a show, Devin is one of the only performers that I have to be at his show if he is in town, so if you are in the NYC area you should come check him out.

Skyzoo and Torae teamed up at a CMJ event this past week to perform their song “Get It Done”. For those of you that don’t know, CMJ is a huge music festival that goes on for a week or two up here in NYC every fall. It showcases various genres of music (rock, hip-hop and everything in between) and there are dozens of shows every night all over the city. Here is just one of the little gems that occurred during CMJ.

You know I like to support Donny Goines and his BARS segments. This time he gets two Rhode Island MCs to join in the bunch with Mista Mista and Theo. Torae is also there but since he has done a segment he lets the other dudes shine which is cool to see artists having fun and supporting each other. Also if you are in the NYC area check out BARS Live @ The Knitting Factory on 10/28, should be a hot show with Donny, Skyzoo, Mickey Factz, NYOIL, A. Pinks, and more!

I haven’t been showing Murs and his carzy ass hair enough love recently. He has an album coming out Sept. 30th called Murs for President. Check out this video of his live performance and cop the album if you’re feeling it.
