Loyal K*N*G — Hip Hop Edition

Here’s a different side of a rapper you usually don’t see. Watch as Kid Cudi makes a surprise appearance on Bryan Greenberg’s concert in New York City (2009). Both the talented singer and rapper delivered a great joint performance on Greenberg’s “You Can Run.” I totally like how the culture of music just continously grow and reach out in surprising ways. This is just another example where growth in a music culture can be a wonderful thing.

Here’s a nice little clip of grand master drummer dude and Blink 182 punk rocker, Travis Barker, doing a nice little remix to Shwayze’s “Get U Home” track. Sometime what makes a track better is all in the drums and snares, take that as a life lesson you guys. If life throws you lemons, play the frikkin drums. And possibly wake all your neighbors in the process.

There’s just something very addictive and captivating in Florida rapper, Rob Roy, in his awesome track, Fur in My Cap. Not only does his rap track rock hard on so many levels, but the music video is very much on point, from the unique cost-effective style of editing and just the plain uniqueness of such an approach! Plus the hot girls are always a plus-one! Not to mention that Rob Roy did the beat to this track also.

Here’s a psychedelic animated video hailing from the great minds of William Sweeney in collaboration with other DJ’s from France such as Crazy-B, DJ Pone, DJ Need and Little Mike. And this little group of DJs makes up the “BIRDY NAM NAM.” The music video above is from this talented group for their track ” The Parachute Ending.”
