Unorthdox Jukebox Bruno Mars

Ever since popped into the scene in 2009 co singing “Nothing On you” by B.o.B, Bruno Mars has been all over the charts. But there are a couple of fun facts about Bruno Mars that a lot of people do not know, for example that his government name is actually Peter Gene Hernandez. Bruno was raised in Honolulu, Hawaii, and he isn’t the only one with talent in his family, Bruno comes from a very musical family. After high school he moved to Los Angeles to make his dream of being a song writer/singer come true.
            Since then he as co-wrote many songs that have sky rocketed to number one on the charts. Such as “Right round” by FloRida . In the year 2010 Bruno’s debut album “Doo-Wops and Hooligans” released. The album held suture number ones like “Just the way you are” and “Grenade”. The album peaked to number three in the billboard 200, and Bruno Mars was nominated for seven Grammy s, and won Best Male Pop Vocal Performance for “Just the Way you are.”
            His latest album “Unorthodox Jukebox” was released December 11, 2012. The album holds some number ones such as “Locked out of Heaven” and the newest single “If I was your Man”. But I have been nonstop with this album, to me this is one of his greatest albums. The songs are filled with emotion (nothing new for Bruno). I honestly love all the tracks, and everyone should buy this album, and I haven’t bought an album since Breaking Dawn.

MY NAME IS KENDRICK LAMAR

My Name is Kendrick Lamar


Young Rapper Straight out of Compton only 23 and considered one of the greatest rappers to appear in our generation. He consider himself comparable to Tupac, not exactly in their upbringing, but there music an message. Both of them rapping about evolution and revolution. They sometimes share the title "The Tortured Poet". Kendrick was the quiet misunderstood kid in school who got good grades, but went back home to a life and house of drug and money. 

The Source Magazine named Kendrick Lamar Rookie of the Year. He does not want to be considered the next in line for the crown of Rap King, but the a legend in the Hip-Hop Empire and still selling records when he is 45.

Kendrick Lamar is one of my personal favorite artist and has brought a whole new level to the music industry. He is a perfect blend of today ignorance and 90's revolutionary music. If you havent already, be sure to listen to his album "Good Kid, M.A.A.D" thoroughly
