Zip K: Clouded Judgment [What I've been listening to]


This was something I did with my other blog which was reviewing music, fashion, and art and I might pick it back up with this one. Anyway, this is a new mixtape by an artist named Zip Kennedy or Zip K which is on the cover and the mixtape is called Clouded Judgement Click Here to listen to it. This has been on replay for the past week now and I have to say this exceeded my expectations. I was a fan ever since his Jukeboxx days and when he was featured on F.L.Y. and Band Geakz mixtapes back in 2010 I believe. This was a great summer for mixtapes and music in general in my opinion. The two tracks that stood out to me were Show Love and Chevy Hump. Chevy Hump is and has the potential to be a club banger and I also love the part where he added that Sisqo sample he put in the hook to add flavor to the song. And Show Love has a crazy bass line and if you have good speakers, man..., they will hear you knocking coming down the street. Zip is on the "come up", this is what most people say when someone is going to have huge exposure in the music industry. Plus he made a video for the song Chevy Hump and it is already getting some play on such programs like MTV Jams. You can look at the video at the bottom of this post. Overall the mixtape, or cd, is good. Clouded Judgement is great, it has a different feel to it. He has put a collection of different songs and switches up his style so every song is unique which makes it easier for the listener because hearing the same thing over and over again will make anyone lose interest. So listen to it when you have a chance and enjoy:

Video of the Day

I love this song and I also love the artwork as well. I would love to learn how to do this one day. I think it is fun to know how to use Photoshop, Illustrator, Dreamweaver, Flash, and other software like this. Hopefully I can learn how to use these programs one day, plus I am saving up for a drawing tablet so I can further enhance my digital artwork. The video is great so much detail on the helmets it is crazy how they made it look so realistic. The artist name is TalaMonse look at his YouTube page when you have a chance, he hasn't uploaded many videos but the ones he does are great. I've been looking at different drawings on YouTube and Tumblr in order to keep my eyes fresh and to see what others are doing in order to improve my work. Also if you're wondering the song is called Instant Crush by Daft Punk, so check the video out and enjoy:
