Equaleyes

About ten days ago we were at Jaxx in Springfield, Virginia to check out the Mac Miller show.  Unfortunately we got there a little late and missed out on Equaleyes an artist from right here in the DMV.  Well that was our mistake because the kid is dope.  Judging from the song below this is definitely an artist we will be keeping our eyes (bad pun) on.  Check out his youtube channel equaleyessound for more music.

M.i – The Jack Johnson Session

Whats up its your boy The Realness once again dropping some new music for  y’all.  Now I listen to a lot of music and a lot of mixtapes so its hard to really impress me.  Its rare that I hear something and instantly I say damn this is some hot sh*t!   Well after listening to the first song “All at Once” off of M.i’s  “The Jack Johnson Session” I was instantly sold.   You know we love themed mixtapes that should be albums over here at crabzinabarrel.com and that is exactly what this is.  The themes of “The Jack Johnson Session”  are well,  songs by folk singer Jack Johnson.

M.i (not be confused with the Nigerian rapper M.I. for those of  you who know Nigerian hip hop) uses Jack Johnson samples on 14 tracks that he wrote, produced, recorded, and mixed.  I must say he did a masterful job.   This is a must download.  The album has a very laid back vibe to it with its smooth melodies, hooks, and guitar samples.  Keep up with M.i on his myspace and  twitter pages.  We will definitely be keeping an eye out for any more new projects from him here at crabzinabarrel.com.
