Song Of The Day

Raised by his mother in North Carolina, J. Cole's hometown of Fayetteville would provide much of the sights and experiences that would come to shape his sound. Cole fell into rapping at the age of 12 when his cousin from Louisiana spent the summer in Fayetteville, showing him the basics of rhyming. He was instantly hooked. From there he delved deep into the music of hip hop luminaries including Tupac Shakur, Nas and Outkast, taking from them a love for telling stories with an unbridled rigor. Seizing every opportunity to write, at age 15 J. Cole found himself with composition notebooks full of rhymes but no beats of his own to lay them on. Determined to create original songs, he begged his mother for a beat machine so he could produce music solely for himself. She granted his wish and from there, a young Cole spent all his free time creating sounds and songs that would lay the foundation for what his style has evolved to today.

Song Of The Day

With the recent hype over all the new artists that have touched the mainstream scene. We've all lost track of real music at some point. Don't get us wrong all the music is great, but we have to take the time to realize the artists that paved ways to make all this possible. Today's SOTD is from an artist that's been through a lot the past few years, a very familiar face Kanye West and his new single "Power". Hiphop isn't dead it's alive! Enjoy!

Song Of The Day

The song of the day is provided by the group "Earthtone". This is a cover of the song Billionaire by Gym Class Heroes front man Travis McCoy. The Chorus of the original song features vocals by Bruno Mars who is known for his recent work with B.O.B. on the hit single "Nothin On You". We've enjoyed the original song and happened to come across many groups doing covers on youtube. This happened to be the best in our opinion. The main detail that caught us about this cover was that the group used their own rap lyrics as opposed to recycling Travis McCoy's verse and they had a more soulful approach to the concept of the song. We think many would agree this version is better than the original. But We'll let you decide. Enjoy! @NVSJONES

Song Of The Day

So the NeverStale team had a chance to sit down and listen to Drake's "Thank Me Later" album. We will still be supporting him by purchasing copies, when it drops on June 15th. We've been Drake supporters from day one, just putting that out there.

Drake does it all, not many artists have his talent and abilities- able to spit bars and then turn around and make a sick hook to go with his music. Shoutout to Drake and we look forward to hearing a lot more in the near future."The Resistance" is a hit, and we felt him on every word of this.

What To Expect From NeverStale?

Here at NeverStale, we aim to be the best at everything we do. You can expect to see things being handled differently. We're very diverse meaning- we'll have something for everyone, not targeting one group or type of people. Our Spring 2010 run will be in soon, and to those who have been both eager and patient the time is near. With the blog being 90% done, you'll see more on Events - Charity - Interviews - Fashion - Music - Cars - Politics - Graffiti - Art, and anything we feel is NeverStale. Also we will make sure we keep you up to date on the team and the progress and difference we're making here in NYC. Stay tuned!

Song Of The Day

VADO "LARGE ON THE STREETS" MUSIC VIDEO DIRECTED BY ARM & WILL PU from FM15 FILMS on Vimeo.

We're not like everyone else. Music makes the world go around. A quote we here at Neverstale believe in 100%. We will have a song of the day everyday from now on. Trust- it wouldn't be anything whack, or bad to the ears, only heat.

There has been a lot of controversy about Vado from day one. To each his own when it comes to opinions. He's been putting out nothing but heat. Cam'ron really did find gold in Harlem. Wordplay is sick. Metaphors are crazy. His flow and delivery are always on point. Vado also has the meanest Polo collection to date haha. Check out his latest video "Large On The Streets". We feel this should be a single. It's too tough! Big shoutout to all our people in Harlem, nothing but love for y'all.

Sunglasses At Night Event

Come join NeverStale @ Webster Hall June 5th, 2010. We're supporting our good friend @deadstockric (http://deadstockric.wordpress.com/) and his artist Yonas. Dj Fat Fingas & Willgates. A time to network, party, and well- just have fun. See you there!

40oz Bounce

So the team decided to head uptown to the 40oz bounce event, held at 158th street and Riverside Drive. Women, food, drinks, and cheeba. It was a very social and live event. A lot of old and new faces were around to network with. Unfortunately the NYPD hated and shut the show down, due to the blocking of the bike path(it was PACKED). We had the chance of talking to Van, he runs the event. There will be one next month, expect to find us there. Pics of the event below.
