JO.EY (@JaffaCakeJoey) – Anyone They See (Prod. Ogre)
Check out the island-tinged, genre-bending vibe from rising artist JO.EY. You can also check out more over at the artist’s official website, Alternative Regime:
The leading monstaaa spiraling of JO.EY’s upcoming project “Defying-Convention”. Commenting on the strains of growing up in the middle of domestic violence, as well as survival in a very low-income, crime saturated district, whilst genuinely being a kid who wants to do good. This is way more than just good enough son!
Of Mice & Men – Bones Exposed (Video)
My guilty pleasure. The latest visual from Of Mice & Men’s Restoring Force, out now….you can also check out the lyrics below.
It’s like loving a lion that cannot be tamed,
I snap at the thought or the sound of your name.
Pulling teeth from my stomach,
you’ve been eaten alive.
My blood fills your lungs,
my soul, your inside.My feet they stand on ashes,
from the fires that you’ve made.
Burning bridges,
just to save your face.If I say I wouldn’t be hostile,
could you say you would do the same?
If we’re all made just a little bit broken,
tell me who is to blame?I’m sensing a feeling picking wounds of regret,
that left alone there’s no scarring ill dig & ill dig,
scratching & itching ill keep biting my lip,
from this pain that I’m feeling,
picking wounds of regret.A cut cannot heal,
unless you leave it alone.
I’ll open mine daily,
leaving bones exposed.If I say I wouldn’t be hostile,
could you say you would do the same?
If we’re all made just a little bit broken,
tell me who is to blame?Standing on ashes from the fires you’ve made,
burning your bridges just to save your face.Wounds of regret.
If I say I wouldn’t be hostile,
could you say you would do the same?
If we’re all made just a little bit broken,
tell me who is to blame?We’re broken, imperfect,
we were all made the same.
We’re broken, imperfect,
we are all to blame.

Bill O’Reilly Blames America’s Problems On ‘Gangsta Rappers’

Bruce Springsteen Covers Lorde’s ‘Royals’ In New Zealand
Spotted on Rolling Stone:
Bruce Springsteen’s ongoing tour of Australia and New Zealand has featured some of the most surprising cover choices of his career, but he topped himself last night in Auckland, New Zealand when he walked onstage and kicked off the show with a rendition of Lorde’s “Royals.” His solo acoustic version made the song sound like it was originally cut during the Nebraska sessions, and he tweaked the lyrics slightly, singing “you can call me king bee” instead of “queen bee.”
Houston Mayor Dedicates Day To Slim Thug
