Dream Big Because Dreams Do Happen

I started this website when I was a sophomore (15) at Needham Broughton High School in Raleigh, NC. I graduated from Athens Drive High School in 2013, Go Jags! I'm now 18 and a freshman at Michigan State University, Go Green. I founded College-Of-Music or, the COM, to show people the most recent hip-hop gems. This blog is dedicated to promoting new artists as well as more known artists. Our motto is No Artist Left Behind or NALB. If you're any kind of music fan and you enjoy listening to and discovering new music, I'm you're person. My favorite artist is hands down Macklemore and since starting this website I've been able to make a friendship with him and his team. #SharkFaceGang I'm the type of person that goes against the norm. I like to be myself I don't let anything change the way I act, something I encourage everyone to do. Below is my team, without them none of this is possible we are a family, #TeamCOM.

My name is Liam McCarthy, I am 16 years of age, and from the exciting state of Connecticut. It's a cliche now a days, but music is my life. I listen to all types of music but my favorite genre is without a doubt hip-hop. Over the years, I have had the pleasure of sharing the stage as a DJ with the likes of Mike Posner, Action Bronson, Huey Mack, Cam Meekins, OCD: Moosh & Twist among others. If you want to send me some of your music, tag me in pictures of shoes, tell me about your new free iPad you just recieved in the mail, or anything along those lines. Feel free to hit me on Twitter.

Currently a junior at the University of New Haven. I work part time at FYE (yes, I feel cool I get to hold the hard copy of albums before it gets released). Since my sophomore year of high school, music has played a huge role in my life. I became the go-to guy for new music and what to listen to. Kid Cudi and Atmosphere is what got me into the hip-hop scene. You'll find me post some hip-hop and some indie here and there. I like to run and work out in my spare time and I'm always updating my workout playlist's, so expect songs that will get you fired up. Some day I would love to be on the business side of the music industry and work for a label to sign artist. Feel free to email me at: brlavigne93@gmail.com or find me on Facebook and Twitter.

I'm a junior at the greatest University known to man, UNC-Chapel Hill. In my spare time I rap, produce, and write music, you can check out my stuff here. I've been a hip-hop head ever since I made my middle school basketball team in the seventh grade. Yea, I made it, come at me. Since then I've been the kid that spends all of his time looking up new music and finding new artists. I'm always having fun and loving life. Get at me! Facebook ... Twitter

I have always loved music and I DJed all through high school. In college got into music blogs and when I thought about contributing, I turned to the COM and now I work for them. I have worked closely with Visionary Music Group and I love all types of music. I just try to stay away from the untalented bunch and hone my music listening skills. Connect with me on Twitter.

I love indie rap, and Atmosphere will always be my favorite. I'm a lyrics person, an English major and from the most beautiful place in the world, Colorado. I was always that kid at parties that payed more attention to the music then the people. If you're looking for music with substance, a message, a story, a plot, I'm your girl. I know how hard it can be to find good new music, but don't worry. We got your back. Find me on Twitter.

I'm a sophomore at Michigan State University, I love going to basketball & football games cheering on the Spartans. I love playing soccer, but my passion is writing and music. Hip-hop is my favorite genre of music and I can't get enough of it. For me independent rap has an artistic value that other types of music just don't have. Finding great new music is my favorite thing to do, especially if it's unkown. I love playing music for people and introducing them to new artists. There's no better feeling than someone popping their head in my dorm asking "what rapper is this?" or "who made this song?". I hope as I get older I will aways have the chance to write about music and for people to see it. If one person reads what I write and enjoys it, then my job is accomplished. Dream big and go green.
