5/14/2009 Cleveland native Kid Cudi doesn’t stand still on stage for long. That’s an understatement if I ever heard one. Closing the Thursday-night festivities off with a bang, Cudi made the Newport Music Hall bounce.
Snob Scrilla – Day One
May 6, 2009 by Keith
Filed under Album Reviews
Aussie / American MC Snob Scrilla certainly knows how to throw down…that’s one of the themes in his newest release Day One. With outer space ideas running rampant through the release, Scrilla throws plenty of killer verses at the listener.
Snob Scrilla is one of those artists that blends so many genres into one, yet he keeps it so groovy and upbeat. Never clashing, always pumping. Not explicit, yet making a statement. With styles similar to The Roots, Outkast, and Jurassic 5 touched off with glimpses of electro vibes, this is an album for anyone looking to “get down”.
The single “There You Go Again” has been floating all over the net for months now and it has that rolling rhythm that’s all over the rest of the album. Other faves include “Alienation”, “It’s on You”, and “Spaceship”. Regardless of your pick, this album blows the roof off and will get you moving in no time.
Is it an album setting the world ablaze, no…but nonetheless, you’ll be hearing these tracks on the dancefloor and movin’ it nonstop!

Looking for some groove…meet K’naan
Hailing from Mogadishu, Somalia, K’naan certainly knows how to work the mic.
His 2009 release Troubadour is a real gem of a record. The single ABC’s has been getting some airtime on MTV and really shines. Featuring Chubb Rock, its something to replay for sure.
