PARAMORE

Ok...i LOVE this band!!!

I'm not usually on top of new videos on MTV or new music by rock bands, but, last year some time i heard this song called

"crushcrushcrush"

and i instantly fell in love with it! i downloaded it and killed it. But for some reason, i didnt think to do my homework on this band. So i just did. Yesterday. I spent half my day on youtube watchin videos on most of their songs. Come to find out they have 3 albums, including one that just dropped late last month.

Dope...

Although I havent listened to every song on every album, im in love wit their second album Riot! released in 07. All the singles they released from that album was dope!
The band consists of Hayley Williams (lead vocals/keyboards), Josh Farro (lead guitar/backing vocals), Jeremy Davis (bass guitar), Zac Farro (drums), and Taylor York (rhythm guitar). They been out since like 04-05...im sure im late, i hopped on early 08.

anyways...check em out if u havent already. New album in stores: Brand New Eyes





PS...im tired of black ppl thinkin that all they can listen to is Hip Hop and R&B!! Although those are my 2 favorite genres...there is nothing wrong with being open minded! Its all music! I like what sounds good or whatever speaks to me. Get out of ur little boxes and Get like me! LOL

mmm...Drake

I love music with a passion...which u probably cant tell from my blog. As much as I love music...I should have more posts about it...tighten up, Rieka.


So first off...

Drizzy...


No...I did NOT watch Degrassi. Yes, I'm late. I just got put on a few months ago. I found out about him thru reading other ppls blogs. Plus when I saw the Comeback Season Mixtape cover...I was like, "damn! that nigga look good!" Everyone was sweatin this dude pretty hard. Like he was the freakin best thing since sliced bread. So, I downloaded Comback Season...

...and was so freakin disappointed. The only song on there I REALLY like is Replacement Girl with Trey Songz. The song with Rich Boy and the one with the Clipse are ok. The rest of them I wasnt feelin. So I was salty bc I was expecting sooo much. I felt like he was all hype...






UNTIL I got So Far Gone!! I fell in LOVE with this mixtape! I been killin it for a while now. At first I listened to it once in a while but for the past few weeks, its been hard to leave it alone!

My favorite is "Brand New". This song is constantly on repeat. Its on my myspace page, too. The next is "Best I Ever Had"...then "A Night Off" with Lloyd. The list goes on and on...lets just say I like the whole thing. Im sure my bf is tired of it by now as much as I play it.
Go Get It!

Ryan Leslie...GO GET IT!!!

Man...this dude is a beast!! Go cop this album! Every song on this man's album is beasty, its hard to pick a favorite...ur best bet is to play it from beginning to end! My boyfriend and I damn near searched all of Atlanta for it and we found it last night and been killin it ever since.

The thing I like most about Ryan Leslie is that he is completely different from many other artists. He has a great singing voice, he raps, he produces his own music...with his own instruments, and records it all himself also! This is the definition of an artist!

He is truly one of my favorites. Not only is he an artist...he was admitted to Harvard at the age 15 and graduated at 19! Crazy...but anyway. His first album...self titled...Ryan Leslie...is already a classic. One of my new favorites...GO GET IT!!
