Yeah, well sometime I just pick bands out of thin air. Keep sending me music!
KOSHA DILLZ
koshadillzworld.com
We've mentioned Kosha Dillz a few times, and, yes, we're confused at the Jewish hip-hop thing. I'm sure there are more odd crossovers, such as Irish rap (think House of Pain?). Anyway, I got a chance to listen to his new song, "All These Years", featuring Mojo Hanna. I like the laid back music and Hanna and Kosha's vocals mixture.
The email also mentioned that there will be a paid 9-track EP for Gina and The Garage Sale, which will cost $4.99, or for the cheapskates a free 5-track version will be made available. I couldn't find any details on the freebie download, but if someone send me information, I will update this and/or put it in our "freebies" page.
Below are details of his upcoming tour:
Off topic, but isn't that Vaynerchuck guy some wine dude?
KASHA

According to the press information, Kasha is "UK's Biggest Secret on the Hip Hop Underground" scene. I did manage to check out his youtube video for "The Realism (Can I Rock)", which is a typical guy rapping and people dancing sort of video.
The thing with British rap is that they often mention things that is out of place for American audience to understand. But I'll give him props for mentioning "Fist of the North Star", I don't think I've ever heard a song mention this.
Anyway, this song is the second single from his 2009 album, Oracle. A second album is coming out this year.
Recently, just officially released on March 6th was "Blind Faith", a Chase and Status song, featuring Liam Bailey and Kasha.
KE$HA

It's hard to escape the clutches of Kesha, and although I've heard/seen her around, I never bothered to find out what she's all about. The last time I saw her, she was with Jarvis Cocker at the 2010 NME award and Jarvis actually mistakenly called her Keisha (which is understandable since I also thought she was Keisha as well). Anyroad, Kesha, boy was she upset! Like visibly WTF look.
Anyway, I did get a chance to finally hear her "Tik Tok" hit song, which I'll have to admit is very catchy. It's pretty much a party song, you don't really have to think about the lyrics too hard and you just have to accept the autotune/vocode thing (everybody in the pop music business uses autotune!)
The super popular Glee television show recently featured the "Tik Tok" song in the "Blame it on the Alcohol" episode of Season 2. Now, I don't watch Glee, I honestly try to get into the show, but it's just not a show that I can sit through. I love the music, but that's as far as it goes, I guess.
The Glee song (which is available on iTunes since February 22nd), sounds surprisingly faithful to the original song, down to the P Diddy and the laugh at the end. In fact, if you play either song, I couldn't tell the difference. Maybe less glitter throwup in the non-Kesha version ?
