Rising Stars

Listed Below are three stars that are up and coming, and hopefully if my judgement serves me right will become big stars in the near future. You may have heard of them, but if you have'nt yet I suggest you check out their newest stuff, so you can tell your friends that Jason told you all about them before they became big!

1. Mike Posner (R&B, Hip Hop)
Album/Mixtape: Mike Posner and the Brain Trust

If you haven't heard Mike Posner's newest mixtape, I suggest you get it now. Hell, its free on iTunes for download!! He has a unique voice that is smooth as butter, but a trackset and lyrics that pierce your heart and eardrums like a silver arrow. I haven't heard new talent like this come out with such a solid debut mixtape in awhile. This kids only 21! He makes his own beats and has so much talent. I'm not sure if he is signed w/ Kanye's label yet but i'm sure he will be soon since his friend Big Sean has just been signed.

2. Big Sean (Rap/Hip Hop)
Album/Mixtape: Finally Famous , Unknown

Newest member to be signed to Kanye West's G.O.O.D. Music label. This guy got skills. Lyrically ill, flow is straight, and lots of potential. Similar style to Kid Cudi, who is also a rather new artist that has made his shine, but I think this kid got more potential honestly.

3. The Ting Tings
Album: We started Nothing

Ok so the Ting Tings may not be new to many of you, but im sure to a few they are. They had their U.S. debut a few months back with We Started Nothing, and slowly singles have been coming from the album. Coming from a big fan base in the UK and Europe, the Ting Tings are one of those bands with a unique flavor that any music fan will fall in love with. They kinda have that White Stripes feel, with a cheerleader type rhythm. Check it out for yourself!

God is Good

God is good, not just to me but to all of us. Interesting story for you. Last night, I was at a stoplight waiting. Then all of a sudden , boom, I get rear-ended by some kid in a hoopti. I pull over and notice that he isn't joining me. I get out of my car and yell at him to pull over, while mentally remebering his license plate number in case he tries to pull a fast one on me. He pulls over and gets out of his car apologizing. I ask him what he was thinking, as I was at the light for awhile and he obviously carelessly just hit me. He claims all fault and says that he dropped something in the car and reached down to get it and didn't brake in time.
I then go to see the damage on my car, cringing at the whole situation. But surprisingly... there was very very minimal damage. At the most small indentations from the screws of his license plate, and a few scratches. I was shocked... I already had a few scratches prior to the incident so it wasn't that much of a difference. I look up to the kid who looks like he's about to cry. He continuously apologizes to me saying that his insurance premiums are up to the roof, doesn't have much money and is very sorry. I decide to lecture him for a bit, and tell him its his lucky day. I let him go. Told him to drive more carefully being that he is in no condition to drive recklessly. Also told him that although it would probably cost me $300 to take those small scratches out, I'm going to let him go. God is good... and hopefully he is counting his blessings while he learns a lesson.

New Toys!!

So Christmas in April came a few weeks ago (IE: Tax Return season). I got a pretty generous return this year so I decided to treat myself to some new toys... Got me a sexy Nikon D40 DSLR camera with 2 lenses; a 18-55mm lens and a 55-200mm VR lens. I can't wait to use it!!


Another pretty little thing I got was this 8" dell Mini 9 that was transformed into a "mini mac." (Running off a Mac OSX operating system). Big Props to Justin for making this little beauty for me. I'll be replacing this as my on-the-go system when I'm on the road for everyday uses, and give my mom my old laptop (unit on the right). You can tell how small the mini9 is from the first and last picture, I love it!
