Ike’s Indie Faves

September 16th, 2011

Ike not only loves HipHop, Rap and R&B Ike likes all music but right now Ike is in love with some indie bands that great for chilling out or pumping up depending on the mood your in.

Foster the People’s album Torches is Ike’s in the car playlist. I’m sure you’ve heard “Pumped Up Kicks” on the radio, but the whole album is worth a listen! It’s got a good balance of smooth head bobbing jams as well as some slam your hands against the driving wheel to the drum beat kinda tunes.

Florence and the Machine is a great chill-out-to-after-a-long-day-of-work band with melodies that usually start out nice and easy and then explode with passion. Ike adores her song, “Cosmic Love” its filled with so much gusto.

Passion Pit is electronic honey, not only does Ike love to dance around his room to these grooves but they are also great for getting revved up in the morning. “Little Secrets” is just a body swaying song that puts a smile on Ike’s face.

Coldplay’s New Mylo Xyloto

September 12th, 2011

Coldplay’s last album, Viva la Vida or Death and All His Friends sold over 9 million copies worldwide so expectations are very high or their fifth studio album. “Mylo Xyloto” is set to drop in October on the 24th and we are lucky enough to have already had a taste of what to look forward to with “Every Teardrop is a Waterfall” which is on Ike’s Top Rated playlists. Today Coldplay released another single from the albumcalled, “Paradise” and its pretty fresh. Its incredible how Coldplay evolves their sound yet you can always tell its a Coldplay song thanks to Chris Martin’s incredible and unmistakeable vocals. This new single has an awesome smooth and chill electro-pop feel to it. Its a different sound from “Every Teardrop” which is more of a headbanging movin’ song but we like this new track and sets our hopes up even higher for the rest of the album. Ike is extremely excited to hear “Princess of China” which features Rihanna. but I guess we will have to wait till October…Unless Coldplay drops a few more tracks before then. Fingers Crossed!

Ike likes Saving Green

September 6th, 2011

From Groupon to Living Social Ike can definitely say that he has found him self addicted to saving. Well in this economy saving has never been so hip! Some of the deals on these websites are major grabs. I mean who wants to spend time going through stacks of lame paper coupons when now you can get emails every day telling you the best deals in your area. The best part is you can edit what kind of deals you want to see so you don’t have to get stuck weeding though ads you don’t care about. When you find a deal that you can’t live with out all you have to do is wait for the deal to tip, if it hasn’t already, and it’s yours! From $11 dance classes to 50% off of incredible getaways to places world wide from Florida to Costa Rica these sites are bound to have a deal for everyone.When you are traveling to different places you can get same-day-deals in the city that you are visiting and save money on exciting adventures and excursions. If you haven’t checked out these sites I suggest you do, they might have the perfect vacation plan set up for you and all you have to do is click “buy now!” and you not only automatically save you have an amazing trip set for you.

Weezy’s New Album

September 1st, 2011

That’s right the day after the VMAs Lil Wayne’s new album dropped, “Tha Carter IV.” This is Wayne’s first real album in three years, and its pretty dope. The song “How to Love” has been on the charts for a while now and has all the girls swooning, which is something you would never think Lil Wayne’s music could do. But that’s why Ike loves this album so much because it is different than Weezys last albums yet it still has his signature raspy voice and some songs feature his hard core rapping style.

Some of Ike’s favorites are the collaborations with Bruno Mars, “Mirror” and with Drake, “She Will” and with T-Pain, “How to Hate.”

VMA Recap!

August 30th, 2011

Beyonce is pregnant.

Probably the biggest news from Sunday Night’s VMA’s! Next to Beyonce’s fabulous baby bump reveal, Lady Gaga’s get up as her alter ego, Jo Calderone was definitely also a shock. The whole night was one spectacle after another and Ike has already watched it twice just because its that good.

There was an awesome tribute to Britney Spears complete with clips and dancers in get up from her years of iconic videos including, “Hit Me Baby One More Time”, “Crazy”, “Toxic” and many others. Along with the tribute Britney went home with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Bruno Mars performed a rendition of one of Amy Winehouse’s songs, “Valerie” in tribute to the incredible artist that we lost about a month ago. The remembrance of Amy Winehouse was not only touching but it reminded us how soulful Amy really was and how much she already is and will be missed.

Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Adele all took home more than one VMA. Lady Gaga accepted all of her awards dressed as her alter ego, Katy Perry won best video of the year, “Firework” and best collaboration video for “E.T” with Kany west. “Rolling in the Deep” by Adelle won a bunch of behind the scenes awards like, Editing and Art Direction.

All in all the event was a big night for Hollywood’s top musical performers but all Ike can think about is what will happen next year. And what will Beyonce and Jay-Z name their baby?!

MTV VMAs 2011

August 25th, 2011

In the midst of all of the back to school hub-bub The MTV Video Music Awards are this weekend and Ike is dying to see what will happen this year.

The VMAs are known to be an over the top, insane, off the hook, crazy, mind blowing, star studded evening filled with incredible performances and Moonman trophies given out to honor the top music videos and artists. It seems like every year something absolutely ridiculous happens, from Madonna kissing Britney Spears and Christina Agulera in 2003 to the Kanye West swooping in on Taylor Swift’s moment in 2009 to Lady Gaga’s meat dress last year, something is bound to happen this year but what will the jaw dropping moment be? I guess we will all have to tune in on Sunday at 9pm to find out!

The VMAS are at the Staples Center this year and will feature special performances by; Beyonce, Pitbull & Jessie J, Adele, Bruno Mars, Chris Brown, Lady Gaga, Lil Wayne and Young the Giant.

Glee-MANIA

August 22nd, 2011


Glee is taking over from the Glee 3D movie to the Glee Project on Oxygen to the new season airing in September, Ike definitely considers himself a Gleek.

The Glee Project wraps up and Ike has been following since day one as he considers the show this summer’s best reality competition. The whole group joined the four finalists; Samuel, Damian, Alex and Lindsey for an epic video shoot of Pinks’, “Raise your Glass” on top of a major high rise building in Downtown LA.

The lucky four each did amazing final performances; Alex performed in Drag, Samuel rocked out, Damian made everyone swoon and Lindsey showed off her amazing vocals once again. But only one would win a seven episode arc on Glee…or so they thought. Ryan Murphy co-creator of Glee announced that Samuel was the winner of the Glee Project, the confetti rained down and everyone congratulated Sam. Then Ryan asked to speak with Damian who gracefully said he was excited for Samuel who deserved the win. Ryan then informed Damian that he too had won the Glee Project. The room erupted a second time as Damian jumped in excitement.

Samuel later told People magazine, “I was so happy Damian got to win as well. At this point we were just brothers. I knew when he won, too, it felt like I won twice.” But that wasn’t it! Ryan then told Alex and Lindsey that they were also going to be on Glee with a two episode arc. So in the end all four of them went home winners.

Ike is excited to Gleek out September 20th for the Season 3 premiere! Can’t wait to see what the Glee Project winners characters will be like!

Do you think you have what it takes to be on Glee? The next season of the Glee Project is looking for a new cast so check out Oxygen.com to see how to upload your video audition.

New Drake Set to Drop

August 18th, 2011

That’s right Drake has set October 24th for the release of his next album entitled, “Take Care.” The Single, “Headlines” is already pulling in major sales and is featured as a top selling song on iTunes. It sold a whopping 139,274 copies in just one day.

All of this success for such a young artist is rare to say the least, but Ike knows that Drake is gonna be around for a while. According to his co-manager, Cortez Bryant, “Drake tells an entire story with “Take Care” and fans are going to be able to see how far he has come.”

Drake’s last album, “Thank Me Later” reached platinum sales with over 1.5 million sold to date. So he has already set the bar high for himself. Will he reach another platinum on this new record? Ike thinks he can do it, I mean its Dreezy!
