Is a Artist/Producer, been in the game for a while now, venturing from his high school along with his partners. He is part of the group N.E.R.D ( No one Ever Really Dies). Along with members Chad Hugo, and Shay Haley. They were signed after performing in a talent show at their high school and released they debut album in 2001. Albums include: In Search of..., Fly or Die, and Seeing Sounds. Some songs you may know: Maybe, Everyone Nose, Spaz, Sooner or Later.
Apart from their song writing abilities, I personally like them more as producers. Having produced plenty of hit records, most of their sounds are really laid back, Funky Jazzy. Pharrell is also know for the way he dresses, Dressing in nothing but the most expensive clothing you can find. He is also a group member of CRS (Child Rebel Soldier), a rumored group consisting of Kanye West, and Lupe Fiasco.
I would recommend listening to him, if you are in a laid back mood.

Gorrilaz is one of my favorite bands, im sure you've heard plenty of their music. One of the most experimental bands ever, that range in plenty of different sounds and styles in their music. Although hiding behind their fictional animated characters they are a big mystery. The Fictional characters include: 2D, Murdoc, Russel, and Noodle. The voices we hear who do they belong to? I don't know, and I hope they stay hidden makes them who they are, Although we do know who the main singer by the alias "2D" is Damon Albarn. He started the band, and is the only Confirmed person to be in the band.
Hit songs you may have heard, "Feel Good Inc.", "El Manana", "19-2000", "Clint Eastwood", which you can find in their "Demon Days", and "Gorillaz "Album. They have worked with a variety of producers, and rappers from MF Doom, Mighty Mouse, and De La Soul. Since their last release Demon Days in 2005, they have been pretty quite, in fact that many people believed that the band was over. Albarn in late 2008 confirmed that they were getting ready for their new album. They are set to release a new Album this year.

Nujabes is a Japanese music producer. He is not yet popular in the united states, but I can see him producing for the big names soon. His style is really laid back, jazzy beats with a nice touch of piano. His name "Nujabes" is actually his name spelled backwards "Jun Seba". He has 4 albums although they are hard to find around here in America. His career began in 2003, and is finally starting to get recognized. List to his song titled "Feather" it has gotten a lot of good criticism in the underground hip hop community.

Radiohead is personally one of my favorite bands. They have been around for many years, yet they go unnoticed. They have made some hit singles such as. "Karma Police", "Creep", "15 Step". The main singer Thom Yorke make Radiohead what it is, he has a very unique voice, and style of singing. They are originally from the United Kingdom, and found their success in 1993. There hit song Creep was unsuccessful at first, but caught attention after a few months. The Band is compromised by members: Thom Yorke, Jonny Greenwood, Colin Greenwood, Ed O'Brian, Phil Selway. Their latest Cd "In Rainbows" was released via a Digital Download which was crazy at the time since they were the only Big Name band to do something like that. The Hard copy was released on January 1st, 2008. The album hit number 1 on both the U.S, and U.K billboard charts.
The thing I love most about the band, is their taste in the electronic genre, they don't over do it although they use a nice subtle amount in their music. You should DEFINITELY check them out if you haven't already.

Who is the band/group? They are a somewhat techno/electro group, just recently signed with Lupe Fiasco First and Fifteenth (FnF) Record label. Hey Champ, a Chicago based group, Composing of 3 members who are all DJ's , little is know about them at this moment, but I'll go ahead and say they'll be successful. Their first single "Cold Dust Girl" is a high temp-ode melody that grips on to you and sticks to your head very easily. Already lined with a few shows in Chi-Town, and under management by Lupe himself these guys will have there name underway to the Radio. Check out their Myspace.

Its been a while since I wrote about Lupe. Since then some things have been announced. His LupEND album, we find out that its a 3 disk set, meaning that we get 3 more albums. The "E" Stand's for Everywhere, The "N" will stand for Nowhere, and finally the "D" will stand for Down Here. In a Recent post he made, the first single will be released in March titled "Shining Down". On the side of that he will be releasing a Concert DVD set to released in March as well. In the Begining of January speculation began that Lupe was joining the band named "Japanese Cartoon". Also Rumours came up that lupe was the singer for them in the song, "Heirplanes". It definitaly sounds like something Lupe would sing, and it does sound exactly like him. Lupe on the other hand, has denied all accusation's of him being in the band. He said that he might sign them to his record label FnF.
