Let’s Get Lost With Jason Mraz

Posted on 04-Sep-09 11:45

Music Genre: Alternative-Soul

Jason Mraz came on stage with Two Spot Gobi at Brighton Concorde 2 a few years back for the performance of track title “Let’s Get Lost”, which happened to be recorded live. So who’s Two Spot Gobi? They have been supporting Mraz in select markets along his European tour, plus all three Greek Theater venues in Cali, as well as being invited to perform at Leeza Gibbons Oscar Night After Party this past February. The band is truly emerging, on stage as well as online. They also just got done recording at Mraz’ home studio for their sophomore record with super producer Niko Bolas (Fiona Apple, Herbie Hancock, John Mayer, Neil Young, Norah Jones, etc).

So, how did the band get linked up with Mraz … that’s another story. But what I will say is that Mraz got on the mic to sing along with the band and spit a freestyle at the end of “Let’s Get Lost”, where you can now check out and download. It’s a must have for both Mraz and Two Spot fans.

The Element of Lost Angeles

Posted on 18-Aug-09 15:54

Music Genre:Hip-Hop

The L.A. hip-hop scene always has its ups and downs from what I recall, especially after the loss of Unity event promoter Bigga B who passed away in May of 1999, leaving behind a legacy that could not be copied. Flooded with candy rappers, it’s refreshing to hear tunes coming from cats who understand the roots and cross-over music that has inspired real hip-hop to this day. Take Element of Custom Made for example who’s a conscious emcee that took flight into a solo mix tape project titled “Great Expectations”. This project contains a multitude of styles where Element shows off his skills, prepping for his new release “Long Story Short” in 2010. The track we chose here is a clean version of “I’m Sorry” that consciously speaks on the disrespect towards woman. The soulful track is also available as a dirty version upon request. Enjoy!
