BETVGO: MEET THE METERMAIDS
Every once and awhile you stumble upon a true gem who would think this would happen getting a ticket. These NY MC's are reminiscent of a Gym Class Heroes. The sound contains a mix of altrock production and heart felt hip hop lyrics. Bands like P.O.D. and Linkin Park made this style popular but this rap duo are doing the best that I've heard in awhile. So check out their video for "Matchbook" and some tracks off the free EP Smash Smash Bag.

BETVGO: SHUT UP AND LISTEN
Pac Div and The Cool Kids are the new breed of hip hop group, following in the traditions of EPMD, The Beastie Boys, and RUN DMC. They've already between them had amazing successes with their previous releases. Now they are finally working together and this is the result. "Shut Up" see's Mickey Rocks and Chuck English on the hook and The L.A. Pac killin the verses with deadly lyrics, "Bendin them corners to the curb kiss the tires" enough said.
Shut up!
