This is a side of Tyler the Creator we haven't seen before. I think it's rather brilliant. If you're not familiar with Tyler The Creator, he's the ring leader/producer for OFWGKTA, or just Odd Future for short. They are currently on tour. Any who-- this here is Tyler having his first jam session with the band Bad Bad Not Good. This sounds absolutely nothing like Odd Future, but is just too good to not share. Notice the stand up bass, thats just bad ass. You can't beat a stand up bass, phenomenal. Now this isn't what Odd Future sounds like, so don't think this is something you should be considering them. they are a rap collective from California, hell Tyler isn't even 21 yet. I just love this collaboration, the track is called, 'Fish.'

Example is fast becoming one of the world's greatest rappers (outside of the U.S.). He's from England and his latest album, 'Playing In The Shadows,' is on the edge of where hip hop is headed. His beats and production is something akin to electronic dance music, with prominent DJ's like Skream, Chase & Status, Laidback Luke, Dirty South, and for the song below, 'Stay Awake,' produced by Nero. He's bold enough to try something new, and take hip hop into a direction Americans aren't used to. It's not all about posting up against the wall and rocking your shoulders back from side to side. You can get out there, in the front row, and jump around. Get sweaty and have fun, with the music still being relative.

Orlando is always getting some of the best DJs, rock bands, hip hop acts, and pop stars on a regular basis. There are a number of reasons as to why that is. We’re a global destination with an international melting pot of visitors on par with the likes of New York City and Los Angeles. If you’re a musician, what better way to get your songs out there than come to the tourist Mecca that is the Mouse. Parents taking their families to all of the resorts and their kids too cool to be dragged around the Magic Kingdom by mom and dad.
