My Last Days: Meet Zach Sobiech


*This isn't our typical post, but I can assure you that it is one of the most inspiring things you will ever watch in your life*

A couple days ago, I came across this incredibly inspiring story about an 18 year old boy whom was dying from osteosarcoma. Zach's story is truly amazing, and really changes your entire outlook on life. When I first started to watch this video, I thought it was just going to be a story about childhood cancer and how to help cure the disease, but it was so much more. This video takes you through Zach's last days on this earth, and shows you how he decided to live them. This story will deffinitely make you think twice about how you live in the future, and will probably leave you speechless. RIP Zach Sobiech.



Macklemore x Ryan Lewis - Can't Hold Us (ft. Ray Dalton) [Major Lazer Remix]



It's often said don't try to remix (mainly rap remix) a song of Macklemore's by many people in the music industry. But this upbeat remix to Macklemore x Ryan Lewis' hit single, Can't Hold Us, by Major Lazer is epic. My hat goes off to Major Lazer for killing this remix. I was semi-iffy (rarely iffy on Major's work) but this is golden, anything with Ray Dalton's vocals is beautiful, in my mind.

UGK - Int'l Players Anthem (ft. Outkast) (Anthony Stewart Remix)



First off, happy birthday to Anthony Stewart, whom we introduced you to about a month ago on his debut single with G-Eazy. Anthony is from Portland, Oregon and currently living in New Orleans, he proved in his last song that he had an amazing voice and could produce some great music. Now, Anthony gives us a remix to a classic from some of the games greatest. This is perfect to unwind down on a Thursday night and get ready for the long weekend ahead. Be sure to wish Ant a happy birthday as well!

Machine Gun Kelly - Peso (feat. Pusha T & Meek Mill)



Machine Gun Kelly just dropped a brand new track featuring Pusha T and Meek Mill, titled Peso. I have heard some talk about this track, but didn't expect anything like this. This is a crazy track with killer verses from all three emcees. King Push, Meek, and Kells all wreck this track, plus the classic Aloe Blacc sample always adds to the fullness of the song. I'm not 100% sure if this will be on Machine Gun Kelly's upcoming mixtape, Black Flag, but I'm pretty sure it will be. Check out the track and be on the lookout for Black Flag, which is coming soon!

Cam Meekins - Lamp City (Album)



Earlier today, Cam Meekins dropped his highly anticipated album Lamp City on iTunes. I've been following Cam since he put out his first ever project, Dancing With The Stars. I think it's safe to say that Cam has evolved a lot as a person and as an artist since he released that mixtape. Over the course of the past few months, Cam has put together a strong team of artists and entrepreneurs alike, making one of the most solid crews in the hip hop game. This album is a great reflection of Cam's hard work and determination, and definitely deserves the #2 spot on the Hip Hop charts that it's currently at. Plus, check out the new music video for Truckers below!

Lupe Fiasco - Animal Pharm


A brand new track from the infamous Lupe Fiasco, "Animal Pharm" incorporates at least 25 animals (that I could count). As always though his clever word play is a piece of a bigger picture being painted. Despite how you may feel about his latest releases, I still think it's next to impossible to argue Lupe is anything less then a lyrical genius.


Clinton Sparks - Gold Rush (ft. Macklemore, 2 Chainz & D.A.)



Clinton Sparks recently signed to Def Jam Recording and this is his debut song with Def Jam that was premiered on JAM'N 94.5 in Boston. Featuring D.A. (of Chester French), 2 Chainz and Macklemore for an epic debut single. This track will be released digitally on June 4th. Both 2 Chainz and Macklemore destroy their parts, woah. Wasn't sure how I'd feel about this track but I'm loving it, excited for the whole album from Clinton. 2 Chainz on the first verse, Macklemore on the second, D.A. on the hook and Clinton with the beat.
