Hip-Hop sensation, Fashawn, snags another interview with highly acclaimed Los Angeles’s radio station, Power 106.  If you haven’t seen Fash (what I like to call him) perform live at venues all over the world, I highly suggest you grab a copy of his latest album, Boy Meets World (which debuted at number 5 on iTunes Hip-Hop list).  My fave track?  ”Life as a Shorty” Frrrshrrr.

I have got to say though, one of the things that makes Fashawn so great is his crew.  Travelling all around with his multi-talented manager, Hecktik, director  Punit, producer Exile, and much more keeps Fash’s head strong for whats up in the near future.  Since I am already name dropping, this twenty-one year old straight out of Fresno, California has also graced the stage and studio with artists like, Evidence and The Alchemist of Dilated Peoples, Ghostface Killah of WuTang (who wasn’t very nice to me. Bad move, dude!), Talib Kweli, and DJ Khalil to name a few.

In other words, this is one rapper you want to check out.  I promise, no mainstream bull will ever be posted on NoneeKay.com.  Creativity adores creativity.

Noisetrade.com is a website where artists and fans can trade music for free.  It’s changing the way we appreciate and listen to what artists have to say.  Musicians can now personally connect with their fans and gain support by giving them high-quality, studio-edited tracks.  With a variety of genres from great artists, you are given two ways to download such art:  1) pay whatever amount you wish in support of the artist or 2)  email FIVE friends about an artist for a FREE download off their album.

Derek Webb (Founder of NoiseTrade.com) says it best, “Who needs peer-to-peer when you can have artist-to-fan? If artists and fans realized how they could help each other and started making direct connections, without a middleman, the whole industry would change overnight. It would start a revolution.”

This would definitely make it easier for musicians to stick to their craft, rather than altering their talents to fit the needs of the record label.  Great site, great insight.

Welcome to 2010.
