#7. Channel Orange (2012) Frank Ocean
BECAUSE: We’d been waiting thirty years for another Marvin Gaye. And then, suddenly, we had Ocean and his debut, Channel Orange—a fully realized instant classic from an artist who couldn’t be bothered with even a single one of the steps between “neophyte” and “master.” We’re not waiting anymore.
THURSDAY MOURNING THE LOSS OF WEDNESDAY.

Why Not Wyo?
"Wyo offers “No Frills” as both a tribute to hip-hop and as a foundation for his career in music. In the English language, the phrase “no frills” usually means to, “emphasize the essential essence of something.” Wyo, through his debut mixtape, explores this definition. Through both raw vocals and authentic lyricism, Wyo works to emphasize the essential essence of what he believes hip-hop to be. The tracks are a collection of, as he explains, “rap ballads over beats.” No Hooks. No Adlibs. No Gimmicks…No Frills."
Taken directly from Wyo's DatPiff bio! Why? Because I could have not said it better myself! That's exactly what it is. No Hooks. No Adlibs. No Gimmicks. In fact, I would say that its all bars, all truth and all love if anything. It is safe to say that this young man definitely pulled my heart strings this week.
First, let me just say that "No Frills" made me feel really good inside. I don't know if it was Wyo's choice of instrumentals, his lyrical content, his metaphors, his stories, his samples, his production, his flow or his message that captured and kept me because honestly, this mixtape has it all! The overall vibe of the mixtape is very smooth, yet at the same time very gritty, offering the best of both worlds for the listener. I think that the production quality is crazy cool in that it seems have been tailored to add to the overall rawness of the mixtape. Not only does it feel and sound good, you actually get something out of it. The lines are cleverly and effortlessly put together, they have substance, they have emotion and they are sincere and you can tell. And while he only gives you a glimpse into his life, you do get a good sense of who he is. Another "good kid in a m.a.a.d city," who certainly has a story to tell and a message to sell.
Simply put, this album quality mixtape is 'THE shit,' or what Urban Dictionary defines as "Something that kicks ass. Not to be confused with shit, which is something that sucks ass." To be honest, the only thing that I didn't like about it was that it did not have more songs! (Mind you, there are already 13!) But I digress...Any who, If by any chance you are now interested in hearing "No Frills," click here. If you are a serious music lover, or you just love to support Indie artists, ask yourself, Why Not Wyo? :D

Wreckless x Responsible's new and improved online store !
For those of you who aren't aware, I am a Senior at Temple University in Philadelphia, PA, and this week was my school's Spring Break! However, due to a series of financially unfortunate events (sigh)...I was not able to travel to San Francisco as I had planned to. So with my pockets still bare but my spirit still longing for a getaway, I decided to treat myself to a personal music 'retreat,' stepping just outside the boundaries of my comfort zone and allowing myself to completely be immersed in new music! So...let's see which artists and/or songs have managed to pull my heart strings this week!
1. Bastille - Pompeii
If you're anything like me when it comes to finding foreign music online, I can never tell if the artist or their song is listed first lol. In this case, it is the artist! Bastille is a super dope band from South London, England. While I have not yet explored the full range of their music, I would have to say that their chart topping single 'Pompeii' certainly two-thumbs up from me. To be honest, I don't know why I love this song, other than the fact that lead singer Dan Smith sounds really charming, maybe even enchanting if you will.
2. Amel Larrieux - For Real
Amel Larrieux. A beautiful name for an equally beautiful person. I don't know how or WHY it took me so long to come across Amel or her music, but clearly there is no turning back. One of my favorite songs by Amel is 'For Real' and it comes off of her second studio album, Bravebird. It is written and performed with so much sincerity and emotion that anyone who knows love, even at the most basic level, will understand. For real.
3. Lady - Money
Simply put, this lovely duo, Lady, consisting of Nicole Wray and Terri Walker, knows how to sing, and sing well. With the faces of confidence and the souls of Motown, 'Lady' definitely had my eyes, ears and heart all week! Not only does the music sound good, there is also substance and a certain level of relatability in their lyrics.
4. Solange - Locked in Closets
I was never a huge fan of Solange Knowles...that is until now. While most people still know her as nothing more than Beyonce's little sister, Solange has shown and proved herself with her new EP, True. One of my favorite songs on True is 'Locked in Closets.' The beat, from the beginning, is one of the best things about the song! Not to mention, Solange sounds stunning. STUNNING! With clear traces of soul and "pop," Solange really pulled my heart strings with 'Locked in Closets' this week.
5. Grimes - Night Music Feat. Majical Cloudz
In a bad mood? Get over it and get Grimes. You will feel better. That is all.
