...Pursuit of Happiness (Nightmare) (featuring MGMT & Ratatat), by American rapper, singer, and producer Kid CuDi. Kid CuDi has been posted before on this vlog, but this song hasn't yet, so a brief re-hash and then the song. He is based in Brooklyn, New York and has just recently produced a new album/sequel to the album this song came off of called Man on the Moon II: The Legend of Mr. Rager (2010). This song comes off of his Man on the Moon: End of the Day album, which was released in September 2009. Blah blah blah...and now the song...
...Memories (feat. Kid CuDi), by French DJ/House Producer David Guetta. Kid CuDi (whom I have made previous new music posts about) is a U.S. rapper coming out of Chicago. David Guetta is actually the first French artist that I have posted on here (and don't discount the French, they brought us the trail-blazing group Daft Punk, and for that I will ever be grateful to the French music industry). David Guetta originally was a big-time DJ in 80's and 90's, has since co-founded label Gum Productions and has since released many albums, collaborating with heaps of big name artists, including his recent release featuring Senegalese-American rapper Akon called Sexy Bitch, which became a top 5 hit in the US, and is played literally every 5 minutes on the mainstream radio stations. Kid CuDi is a very talented young electro-rap artist, and I encourage everyone to check out the previous posts I've made of his work (and there will be future ones as well no doubt!). What it is!!
...Bonkers (with Armand Van Helden), by London, U.K. rapper Dizzee Rascal. Dizzee has partnered up with the legendary American DJ/producer Armand Van Helden on this track (which incidentally reached #1 on the U.K. singles chart in 2009). I have posted a song by "the Diz" a few weeks back, but as I said then there will be more posted by him as he is an excellent new electro-rap artist. This song is one of the three #1 hits that comes off of his Tongue N' Cheek album (released in September of 2009), along with my earlier post of the song Dance Wiv Me. The 3rd hit will be posted here at a later date, so stay tuned or just go check out the album yourself!
