Pause. Playback, Rewind.


Sup?
Happy New Year! (Very late I know.) 
It’s been a while. I always seem to be saying that these days. Lol. So I couldn’t do my regular post before the holidays with all the party music.  So I’m gonna make up for that with one huge post. :)
Arshad is covering most of the trance stuff so I’ll be focusing on the rest of it. I'm also including some Nigerian songs in that. So it’s quite the mixbag. Enjoy!

1.  I Need Air - Magnetic Man ft Angela Hunte
This one  is quite a chilled out track. Smooth vocals and nice beats. Magnetic Man is made up of three dubstep djs, Benga, Artwork and Skream. Be sure to check out the album. Pretty crazy sounds on it. Got everything on it. Not just dub.

2.  Tonight - Enrique ft Ludacris
Well this track is pretty popular. There’s an explicit version and a mild one. I duno why it is that girls love this track, the explicit version that is. If a guy said that to a girl, he’d prolly get slapped. I guess it’s cuz it’s Enrique. :S

3.  Mojo So Dope - KiD CuDi
This is off his new album MOTM II- The Legend of Mr. Rager. Love the chorus.

4.  Barbra Streisand - Duck Sauce
Nice dance track. Samples Boney M’s “Gotta Go Home”. Duck Sauce is Armand Van Helden and A-Trak.

5.  Mr. Right Now - Pitbull ft Akon
“I’m never gonna be your Mr. Right but Imma be your Mr. Right Now”. Pretty much what you’d expect.

6.  International Love - Chris Brown ft Pitbull
Again, what you’d expect.  Mid-fast club track.

7.  2gether - FarEast Movement & Roger Sanchez ft Kanobby
Mad club track. Sanchez provides some nice beats.

8.  Rocketeer - FarEast Movement ft Ryan Tedder
Nice song. Easy listening.

9.  M.I.2 - M.I
Ok so this is not a song. It’s the album. M.I is this mad rapper straight out of Jos, Nigeria. Got easy flow and some good lyrics. According to some, he’s the biggest rapper in Naija right now. Check it out. Couple of songs worth mentioning are -
Action Film
Number One ft Flava

10.  Jonzing World - D’Prince ft Wizkid & Jesse Jagz
This is a cool track.

11.  Kush - Dr Dre ft Snoop Dogg & Akon
Old school hip hop is not dead! Dope track! For the potheads. xP

12.  Right Through Me - Nicki Minaj
Slow track. Minaj is good as usual.

13.  I’m So Hot - Disco Superstars
The beats get me moving everytime.

14.  Yeah Yeah Yeah (Electro Mix) - Spencer & Hill
Crazy club track.

15. Tomorrow (Give Into The Night) - Dmitri Vegas, Dada Life, Like Mike & Tara McDonald
Fairly old. But nice club track.

16.  Bromance (The Love You Seek) - Tim Berg
Nice progression on the original mix. And Avicii’s Extended Vocal Mix has nice vocals.

17.  I Just Had S*x - The Lonely Island ft Akon
Ok so this is just a funny song. The Lonely Island are a parody hip hop troupe.

18.  Hold Your Hand - R2Bees ft Wande Coal
African Banger. Love this song. R2Bees are Ghanian and Wande Coal is Nigerian.

19.  Don’t Dull - Wizkid
Catchy track once you listen to it. I sing along with it now.

20.  Beautiful People - Chris Brown ft Benny Benassi
Not bad.


21.  Hypercaine - DJ Fresh ft Stamina MC & Koko
MAD track!!! This is so high energy and pumps you up. Get ready to just jump around and dance mad. Check out the video. Insane choreography.

22.  Rolex Sweep (Vandalism Remix) - Skepta
Sick club track. Nice beats.

23.  Fly - Nicki Minaj ft Rihanna
All the ladies will love this for sure.

24.  Kick Us Out - Hyper Crush
Another one of those club tracks. Not bad.

25.  Touch Me - Tom & Jerry ft Abigail Bailey
Nice progressive track with nicer vocals.

26.  Do It Like A Dude - Jessie J
Nice beats. Very familiar sounding but can’t place it. I'm not so sure I like the song overall yet. But check it out anyway.

27.  Lonely Girl - Oceanlab
Very nice track.  This is actually quite old. The Gareth Emery remix is pretty sick too.

28.  All She Wrote - T.I. ft Eminem
Sick collab. Works. Well.

29.  Moment 4 Life - Nicki Minaj ft Drake
Very nice track. This collab works. Unsurprisingly.

30.  Got Your Back - T.I. ft Keri Hilson
Sweet track. Goes out to all the ladies. ;)

31.  Go - Nelly ft Talib Kewli & Ali
Very nice track. Got a nice acoustic sound to it.

32.  Half Light (Max Graham Remix) - tyDi ft Tania Zygar
Cool progression here. Tania's vocals are just right for the track. Check out the original too. Has some mad variations in it.

33.  Party All Night - Sean Kingston
It's alright. Check it out. Temme what you think.

34.  Alors On Danse (DJ’s from Mars Club Remix) - Stromae vs All
Best remix for sure! Love it.

35.  Drop Down - Akon ft Ludacris
Not bad. Samples a track off the Blade OST.

36.  Angel - Akon
Another track that goes out to all the beautiful ladies.

37.  Girls - N-Dubz
Smooth track. Not bad.

38.  That Good - Snoop Dogg & Wiz Khalifa aka Cheech & Chong
Another one just for the stoners.

39.  Until We Bleed - Kleerup & Lykke Li
This is a really nice alternative track. Very old. But I just stumbled on it.

40.  Wonderman - Tinie Tempah ft Ellie Goulding
Another crazy track by Tinie.

41.  Gold Dust - DJ Fresh ft Ce’cile
Another pumping track. The vid is pretty mad too.

42.  Bubblegum - Afrojack
Very different from Take Over Control. Nice nonetheless.

43.  500w - DJ WaY
Mega electro house track. Full Power!

44.  Living Electro - DJ WaY & Dazsh
Another full power electro house track. DJ WaY is all about the house.

45.  Cool (Afrojack Remix) - Spencer & Hill
Old track. Pretty trippy still.

46.  Street Dancer - Avicii
Straight up retro feel on this track. Very cool.

47.  Playback - Collie Buddz
Pause, playback rewind. Smooth.

48.  What U Came Here To Do - Clinton Sparks ft Fatman Scoop & Ariez O
Mad beats.

49.  On The Floor - Jennifer Lopez ft Pitbull
Brand new J-Lo. Great dance track. Pitbull's good as usual.

50.  Let Me Blow Ya Mind  (Me & My Monkey Dirty Remix) - Eve ft Gwen Stefani
Very nice mix of this oldie. Would definitely play it.

51.  Mr. Endowed - D'Banj
This is one hilarious track but its great to dance on.

52.  Somebody To Love Me (Congorock Remix) - Mark Ronson ft Boy George & Andrew Wyatt
Crazy house track. Love it!

53.  One In A Million - Ne-Yo
Ne-Yo doing his thing.

54.  Do What You Do - Madcon ft Ne-Yo
Nice song. Very different from Beggin'.

55.  Glow - Madcon
Chilled out track. Again

As Michelle mentioned, we're planning on going bigger and better and would really appreciate some feedback. So hit that shoutbox! And yes, we will try to avoid the mini hiatuses. :)
Look out for Arshad's next post and Michelle's sunburn experience. I'll be back soon too.

Till then..
Peace

HelloCrazyPeople!

So, I know it’s been a while since we posted. December was a CRAZY month. It went by in such a flurry but it was one of the best months ever. I have started working full time now and it’s going to be a real challenge for me to post frequently. But, I will do the best I can. I have ALWAYS wanted to have a music blog. We were talking about upgrading the blog too. Make it a little bigger than it is right now. So, changes are in order for sure! It’ll take some time, but we’ll do our best to keep you much more updated without going off on mini hiatuses.

Another thing – Comments would be really appreciated!

I still have to post my insane experience at Sunburn , Arshad’s mega post is coming up soon and Prashant has some crazy Nigerian music to offer. You don’t wanna miss it!

Keep it Sexy.
