Here is the latest installment of the Positivity Podcast.

This is a great compilation of top 40, which has become 125-130 blends of hiphop and dance music. Artists like Pitbull and Lil’Jon have found a way to use this cookie-cutter style of creating songs, while still pleasing the crowds.
This is a top40/dance mixtape, with new hiphop on the tail end.
Tik Tok is still my favorite track in the mix, but Shut It Down by Boston’s own Clinton Sparks is also in the mix!

I have been an iPhone user for about 2 and a half years now, and spend at least 2 hours a day using this device to play music. Up until now, I have been using the suggested iPhone Earbuds from Apple.
I used these for two reasons:

1. They contain a built-in microphone which made for a seamless audio to phone-call transition.
2. Apple said so.

Having purchased 4 pairs of these headphones from Apple, and received one pair in the mail after a pair exploded from static electricity, I found myself questioning the worth of these earbuds.  I am a very big fan of listening to a manufacturer about pairing products, as they understand the engineering logic of pairing two products together. Unfortunatly Apple does not have the techincal sophistication to make earbuds with the same quality of their higher end products, like phones and laptops.

I decided to replace my earbud of choice with the Skull Candy InkD earbuds.  I purchased these for two reasons.

1. The fact that they received over 500 Amazon Reviews.
2. They were cheap.

I spent $30 today on three pair of these headphones, which is the equivalent of 1 pair of the Apple iPhone Earbuds. I am very satisfied with these earbuds after one day of usage. While the 11mm driver is quite tiny, it will keep me satisfied during my daily commute, as well as other listening adventure.  I chose with the smallest of the three enclosed rubber mounts, that fit easily onto the earbuds.  I do have big ears, but it seems that the smallest mount does in fact fit best.

For $9.99 each, these were an amazing buy(all three pair).

The DramaSquad DJ’s hosted an event with Jersey Shore’s Pauly D. Spinning House, Club Anthems, HipHop and even Rock, the club was like something out of Hollywood.
What would you expect when 10 DJ’s get together before the club while the famous one sends a fax at Kinko’s, and the girl behind the counter freaks out when she see’s Pauly D.

The Best Kept Secret, or as he is known, The Notorious B.K.S., seemed to just come out of no where, but his roots are based inBoston Massachusetts.  Growing up in Salem MA, The B.K.S. found a love for music at a very early age, always the avid performer, the B.K.S. would bring his pause mixtapes out on his porch for all in the neighborhood to hear, (whether they wanted to or not!).

Growing up in Hip Hop’s “Golden Era” The B.K.S. was like a musical sponge, soaking up not just the music, but the inspiration behind it.  Once he saved up enough money to buy his first set of decks, he hit the ground running.  Leaving Boston behind for college in PIttsburgh PA, The B.K.S. was able to bring his passion for music and hip hop to his fellow students.  There was nothing he would not do, Frat Parties, Bars, Lounges, The B.K.S. was making moves without even being able to legally buy a drink.  After graduation, he made his way home to Boston, with a chip on his shoulder and a truckload of records, it was time to grind.  Hustling his way into a local club, he befriended a local legend, DJ Gee-Spin.  Gee put him onto becoming a professional DJ, helping to mold and hone his skills.  After that the sky was the limit, after touring and doing show after show, The B.K.S. still brings it with every set, the prowess of a veteran, and the prowess of a virtuoso.

The B.K.S. brings intense bass drops along with unheard of precision in his scratching creating a truly unique sound all his own.  Combined with the energy and enthusiasm of a club goer instead of a dj, B.K.S.’s performance is an energy packed dance floor adventure.   From Hip-Hop to Rock, Electro to Top 40’s there is no genre of music that is safe from The B.K.S.’s needles. A specialist of live show Mash-Ups He has established himself as one of Boston’s premiere dj’s. Performing at such venues as Shrine @ The MGM Grand, The Roxy, CBS Scene, and many other venues in the NorthEast. The B.K.S. can be found rocking the house almost every night of the week in the hottest city on the planet!

Usually when you ‘take it back to the oldschool’, you are listening to RunDMC and LL Cool J. Tonight you will be listening to some 90’s freestyle and dance music from the days of Roller Kingdom, The Palace, and the superclubs from 20 years ago.
