Dime$ - Analyze Me

The F.A.M. ft. Lemme - Fantasy

Dis is a classic F.A.M. joint right here pimp!!! If U've been in tune wit da D.C. music scene over da last 5 years or so then U've probably already heard dis joint b4. I know Judah probably peeped dis joint was a throwback track cause he ain't wanna post it on his FTDMVO blog. He shys away from posting da same thing twice even when it's in a different format. Especially from me cause I already tricked him into doin' it once b4. Had 2 try 4 da swindles 2x if they'd let me....ya digg!!! I'm De-U.c.e. Double so it's 2nd times da charm fuck a 1st impression...lol!!! Dis song was written back when "we was outside sellin' CD's like it's crack!!! Forestville, Rivertown, U can call dat da trap!!!"...partake!!!

Kid Cudi ft. WALE - Look Up in Da Stars

I haven't heard too much from dude yet but "they say" he's somebody 2 listen out 4 so I'll keep my ears peeled. I wonder why it only seems like club songs r #1 on da charts deez days. People r quick 2 say joints like dis r wack or ain't all dat but U gotta admit dis is alot better then "Jumpin' Out Da Window"!!! No disrespect 2 Ron Brown's hustle but dat shits wack joe. It is catchy though cause everytime I hear it I wanna jump out da window my damn self...lmao!!!

D.C. Fashion Week

A lotta ya'll DMV outsiders don't really realize dat da Washington, D.C. metropolitan area has always had a rack of un-tapped original styles & swagger out da ass mo!!! Over da years we've had plenty of home grown comedians, actors, clothing, artists, musical stlyes, etc. swindled from right under our noses without even our permission. We even have several local music legends in the Rock & Roll and Gospel Hall's of Fame such as Chuck Brown & my grandma/labelmate Shirley Ables. It was announced recently that D.C. is officially now da newest fashion capitol next to Paris, & New York. My prediction 4 DMV fashion future is dat in da next 2-5 years da city of Washington, D.C. will be what ATL is right now 2 pop culture!!! Click on da highlighted words 2 find out more info about da DMV & D.C. Fashion Week...

Yung LA ft. T.I. & Young Dro - Ain't I (Remix)

I don't care if da hook is extremely simple on dis joint...it still cranks hard slim!!! If U don't agree...hey 2 each his own. If U think it's some garbage...hey U're entitled 2 U're own opinion. But in my opinion of U...U're 1 of those people Wayne talkin' bout when he say..."if we 2 simple then ya'll don't get da basics". I'm sorry dis joint cranks hard 2 me mo!!! "Da best thang smoking" on da radio right now...kill!!! Ain't it!!! Ain't it...lol!!!

Mr. 40 Watt's Grammy Re-Cap...

I didn't even get 2 see da show dis year cause I had a studio session wit E at da time. However I manage 2 keep my ears 2 da concrete 24/7 & da streets said dat it was a good show last night...lol!!! U may luv him or hate him but U gotta admit Lil' Wayne killed 2008 slim!!! I mean dude was out everywhere & featured on damn near everything. He even swooped through D.C. & hopped on dat man WALE "Nike Boots(Remix)" screamin' "Da DMV here & Lil' Weezy" all sizurpy & shit...lmao!!! Dude owned da grammys last night as well wit 8 nominations!!! Correct me if I'm wrong wit any of dis cause I re-itterarate...my sources are da asphalt...lol!!! He ended up bringin' home 50% of da 8 wit 4 grammys "in da pocket"...1 was 4 best Rap song wit "Lollipop", 2nd 1 was 4 best Rap performance wit " A Milli", 3rd 1 was 4 best Rap performance by a duo or group on "Swagger Like Us", & da 4th was 4 album of da year 4 "Tha Carter 3". If U ask me I luv da south & been luv'n it since Geto Boys!!! Wayne's been grindin' under da radar 4 a minute now & he deserved it just as much as Three 6 Mafia deserved their Oscar!!! If you don't agree...KILL ya' self!!! In D.C. Grammy news some artists from da DMV even had a couple nominations, like J. Holiday 4 best R&B LP, Wayna & Kokayi 4 best Urban/Alternative Performance, & Raheem DeVaughn 4 Best Male R&B Vocal Performance. U can check out Kokayi on a mixtape wit me called "The Mumbo Sauce Mixtape Vol.3". Sorry 2 say no local wins yet. Better luck next time, but trust me...DMV gone get, get get it...lol!!!

Meet My Future Baby Mama...

Introducing my future baby mama...lol!!! Sike naw...but seriously. She's starting 2 grow into something like da Mary J. Blidge of dis generation. Keyshia Cole is only on like her 3rd CD so far in her career but it sure don't seem like it. I'll admit she does make some simi-nigga bashin' music like "I Should've Cheated" but it's still done in her own tasteful way. Plus I give her a free pass on dat 1 cause she didn't know me yet so she damn right she should've cheated!!! She reminds of a female Neyo in how she can actually sing...lol!!! She appeals 2 da ghetto & hood folk yet still does it wit class. Plus her CD's make a good movie soundtrack while I'm film'n in da back seat of da whip...ya digg!!! If U like her music...BUY IT!!! DON'T DOWNLOAD!!! Ya'll killing da arts & crafts wit dat shit people...WAKE UP!!!

February's Diamond in the Rough

Dis is da second installment of De-U.c.e. Double's Diamond in da Rough. Dis is an on goin' monthly blog post dat will feature somethin' special from in or around da diamond district. Dis month I choose Club Pure's open mic mondays. Dis open mic night was hailed in Billboard Magazine as 1 of da premiere locations in da area 2 find quality musicians, poets, & comedians. Club Pure is a place where many local & national artists such as Raheem DeVaughn & Tabi Bonney got their start back when it was know as Bar Nun. A lotta videos have been filmed live from dis club & all around da surrounding U street corridor. If U're not from anywhere in or around our area peep out da pics above & footage below 2 get a feel 4 da average atmosphere dat's in & around open mic mondays @ Club Pure. Videos swindled courtesy of Judah's blog FTDMVO in association wit Jben.ok...enjoy!!!
