Mike Posner Video

For those of you who don't know Mike Posner i've attached a cool youtube video of his live show last year at Duke's version of Spring Party Weekend. Notice in the end of the video the PA system shuts off his mic, and he literally a capella's the rest of the track!


I've also attached the link to download his first mixtape, "Just in Time," for free. For those of you unfamiliar with Datpiff you can download the mixtape for free by cicking on the tab below his album.

Concert Preview- Mike Posner and Mt. Eerie- October 29th

Colgate University can expect a great night of music on October 29th, 2009.  At 7PM, SCOPE will be presenting a concert featuring Mt. Eerie with openers TJO and No Kids.  The event will take place at Donavans Pub, where the bar will actually be open.   Come by, have a drink and enjoy some chill acoustic music to dewind after a long week of midterms and craziness.

If you are looking to party afterwards, make your way over to Beta for a concert from Mike Posner.  The show is sponsored by WRCU and CAB Music.  Posner will most likely go on stage around 11PM.  Known for collaborations with Big Sean, Posner is a a full-time student at Duke University and continues to tour while completing his rigorous studies.  His name is growing in the Hip Hop community as one of the next great producer/DJs..  He has been recruited by the likes of Kanye West and has worked with some of the biggest names in the business.

Notorious B.I.G. + Miley Cyrus = Greatness

Check out this Biggie Mash-Up with Miley Cyrus "Party in the USA." In my opinion, the real song is a guilty pleasure in and of itself. But this just puts it over the top.

Oh yeah, and another thing...

If the last link didn't get you hooked, here's the FREE DOWNLOAD of the Classixx Remix of the Green Eyed Love track courtesy of Stonesthrow.com: Mayer Hawthorne - Green Eyed Love (Classixx Remix) MP3

AND...2 MORE VIDS

The lead single off the album which came in a pink heart-shaped LP (which I find to be the polar opposite of lame)


Keep an eye out for the Rob Drydek cameo (along with plenty of hot SoCal chicas)


I think I have pretty damn good taste, but do y'all think I'm hyping this man to a larger extent than he deserves?? DISCUSS!!!

Mayer Hawthorne - Green Eyed Love

Mayer Hawthorne is the thirty-year old currently stirring up a great amount of buzz worldwide. He is currently signed to the top-notch west coast independent label Stones Throw Records (Madlib, J Dilla, Oh No, Percee P, Guilty Simpson, James Pants, Dam-Funk, Dudley Perkins, etc. etc.) His debut album entitled A Strange Arrangement was released on 9.9.09. Hawthorne is currently wrapping up a tour on the west coast with the one and only Ghostface Killah, who just so happens to be an avid fan of Hawthorne's old school throwback Motown vibe. After that he will begin an extensive tour across Europe. Hawthorne's list of influences include the likes of Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Barry White, and Smokey Robinson. Quite an intriguing list for a white boy from Michigan. Hawthorne also performs Hip-Hop music under the stage name Haircut and occasionally as part of the groups Now On and Athletic Mic League.

The following video was just released on the web today. It is the closing track off of his new album. The single of the track is being released with a few remixes and instrumental versions. The vinyl edition will be colored neon green. Pretty sweet.
