9.7.12 - New Music - 2AM Club, Big Sean, and Dev
2AM Club are an everything kind of group. They play a mix of about ten different genres, most prominently hip hop, pop, dance, and electro. Just hearing all those things together get me excited. I love lyrics that have a hip hop flow and a beat I can dance to.
I always knew of 2AM Club, but I never paid them any attention. There are just too many underground groups of every genre that people constantly tell me I “need” to hear, or that get a lot of buzz on the blogosphere. I am regretting not listening to them earlier though. I don’t know what their debut album ‘What Did You Think Was Going To Happen?’ sounded like, but if it was anything like the lead single from their untitled follow up (right below this), than I bet it was pretty banging. The song is a play on “There’s Something About Mary”, which seems to be a recurring theme this season (Canadian hip hop artist K’Naan’s new single has a few lines that reference the movie). I really like it, and I think this could be their big break. The band got a ton of attention (in the underground, again) before, but this may actually help them surface. Adding Big Sean and Dev helps the song and gives it some big names. People will see this and give it a listen, and hopefully that will be enough to make this happen. “Mary” isn’t available yet, but I bet it will be soon (and we’ll hear about the album any day now!). |
