ARTIST of the WEEK

"Ain't nobody that's hotter."
In the words of Sam Adams, there is nobody hotter in the rap game. Releasing his debut EP "Boston's Boy" this week which includes the songs "Driving Me Crazy" and "Coming Up." Sam is a Senior at Trinity College and shows much potential in his EP. Despite that some of his songs are just OK, the ones that I mentioned are quite good and He definitely deserves recognition. From what i've read, he produces most of his music with a Boston local Matty Trump, as he says in almost all of his songs. I like his music mostly because his beats are electronica/hip-hop and they go well with his lyrics, which I cannot say are original.

Artist: Sam Adams
Album: Boston's Boy - EP
Rating: 7/10

TAKE A GANDER!!!!




Drake continued

Drake released his new single "Over" on Thursday, off of his forthcoming album Thank Me Later. Although much anticipated, it was quite a let down. Produced by Boi 1da, a Toronto producer, the song has southern influences and the beat isn't bad, in fact its the best part of the song. Drake's lyrics are alright, the chorus is the best part, his rapping needs work and at some points i thought he was freestyling, which he isn't very good at.

Song: Over
Artist: Drake (Aubrey Graham)
Genre: Hip-Hop/Rap
Album: Thank Me Later (March 2010)
Rating: 6/10
