Roses Gabor - Stars

 Roses Gabor was one of the three feminine voices on SBTRKT's track "Pharaohs".  She was also the female voice on Gorillaz "Dare", way back. Her debut single, "Stars", is a great first spotlight to recognize her own place in the music world. It's produced by Redlight and released on Toddla T's label, Girls Music, and Ninja Tune.

It has a club like dubstep rhythm with twisted vocals and a beautiful chorus~

SBTRKT

On stage he wears a modern interpretations of native society ceremonial masks designed by Hidden Place, to further support his anonymity.

Captain Murphy Duality album art

The Duality mixtape changes artwork with every track.

Captain Murphy

The experimental producer Flying Lotus also goes by the name Captain Murphy as a rapper, he kept his identity a secret for 5 months until he performed live. In July the track"Between Friends" was released, a collaboration with producer Flying Lotus, Odd Future member Earl Sweatshirt, and the unknown rapper at the time, Captain Murphy. Tyler the Creator who toyed with the blogosphere before seemed like a good guess. The most common vocal filter they used for Captain Murphy sounds almost exactly like Tyler's voice.

About two weeks ago Captain Murphy released a 35 minute mixtape called Duality, which feature big names like TNGHT, Flying Lotus, Madlib, and Just Blaze.

When Captain Murphy performed his first show at the Low End Theory party in Los Angelos on November 28th, he revealed himself as FlyLo wearing a shimmery gold cape.

RiFF RaFF

 
The rapper, RiFF RaFF, currently with Mad Decent record label is quite the character. You either appreciate his humor or hate him. He was raised and born in north side of Houston, which explains his thick accent. On his chest, neck, and arm he tattooed MTV, BET, Bart Simpson, and Seagram's Seven. To complete his advertisement look he will often bring out his red rubby laced Icee chain that hangs off of his neck. When watching his music videos, its hard to look away from him. He has those crazy eyes.

RiFF RaFF - TiME

 RiFF RaFF comes up with lyrics that shine on his personality. He can make fun of himself and at the same time take himself seriously. He's a byproduct of the 21st century music industry today. He is for the open-minded adult swim generation that can see the fun of his music and not to take everything so seriously.

"He doesn't give a fuck about anything, which is my philosophy about everything. He's the best dude to drink with ever, and he can freestyle for seven weeks straight," Diplo, the producer of Mad Decent, says.

Alright... so this song, Thrift Shop, is a fun catchy tune that is making fun of hipster. But at the same time giving them credit for saving money and looking fresh. This is a very relatable song here at SUNY purchase as much as some "hipsters" don't want to hear that.

"I'm going to pop some tags,

Only got $20 in my pocket"

"About to go get some compliments"

"Imma take you grandpa's style"

"One mans trash is another man's come up" 

 Macklemore (Ben Haggerty) has been releasing music independently since 2000 without mainstream support. He has gained a huge online fan base through his well done music videos. "Thrift Shop" has been viewed on YouTube more than 15 million times

 It's one of those rainy muggy daze and I'm listening to the soothing sounds of Brazilian Girls. They are known for their eclectic blend of electronic dance music with diverse musical styles of tango, lounge, reggae, and house. They are actually not from Brazil, the band originated in New York City. They are the perfect band to lounge around, paint your nails, get ready, and basically have your girl time to~

I heard them in  an expensive department stores, its the kind of music I day dream to. It has the sex appeal and the relaxation vibes. Their music gets more vulgar and hilarious too

"PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY, marijuana... PUSSY PUSSY PUSSY"

Well I shouldn't day dream any longer, got to get back to studying for my Midterms..

Here is a picture of the band

 This dress, is super fabulous! Inspiring for a Halloween costume.
