All About You – Chad Hatcher (Ft. Classified)
Hey guys, I just want to share with you a little gem I found the other day. It’s been around for the while but that doesn’t diminish the value of the song. I won’t say much except that l really like the direction Chad Hatcher is taking with his music. It’s got a very laid back feel yet you can hear influences from pop, folk, rock, hip hop, reggae and indie. Just give it a listen – for me, it’s pretty reminiscent of this summer.

Guest Post: Sam Adams Gets a Spot on Conan?
We’ve got a special guest poster today, Ryan Murray, and he’s here to put his two cents in on Sammy Adams getting a spot on Conan. Follow him on twitter @murrmaidman.
The Autotune Whore Himself
Maybe it was a lapse of sanity, or a producers whim, or a favor for a fellow Boston-area “artist”. Whatever the case, Conan O’Brien, star of TBS’ CONAN, has allowed “rapper” Sam Adams to (hold your breath) grace us with his music on his show January 18th.
We all know Sam Adams isn’t a favorite of the YGM crew, but good lord CONAN, this is prime-time TV. You can’t have some untalented frat rapper parading around stage, rapping into his auto tune about getting shitty with his friends for 50 bars. I Hate College was a great party track two years ago, and Blow Up had me going for about 5 minutes. But come on Sammy, its time to let go of the act.
I encourage you to tune in. See for yourself the difference between the real new-comers; Logic, Childish Gambino, Mac Miller, Chiddy Bang, or even Chris Webby; and Sam. Lyrically there is no comparison, he is trash. He just covers it up with catchy production.

YGM, thank you for allowing me to post, it’s been real.
P.S. Conan… Where’s the love for Don Sheen?
Let me clear some things up, I don’t dislike the rapper personally at all. I just don’t think he deserves the spotlight with all of these much more talented rappers trying to make it in the game right now. You can’t tell me Sammy Adams is any different than a large amount of college rappers. I saw a comment mention how he “invented” electro-rap, if that was the case I invented techno. Electro-rap is just the act of a rapper dropping lazy bars (in Sammy’s case) over a great EDM production. As much as I may like the beat, I do not enjoy seeing weak verses spit over some of my favorite tunes. So, getting back to my main point, I am not just trying to hate on Sammy. I am just trying to make a point about the music industry’s current place through this guest written post. Thank you Ryan for writing this post last week when we heard the news about the Conan spot and thank you for your time.
This post will be updated with the video of his performance soon.Check his TV debut below.-Raffi (creator of YGM)

Kaskade & Deadmau5 – Move For Me (Sex Ray Vision Remix)
We were supposed to post this a few days ago but we have been pretty busy of late. However, this is a solid remix provided by the dynamic Stanford duo, Sex Ray Vision. I’ve been following them for quite some time now and they always come through with solid remixes and catchy original tunes such as “My Beach House” and “How Bad Do You Want It Now.” I actually got to see them live at Vanderbilt during school and they were awesome. Ravi and Brian really know how to put on a show and they were both extremely energetic during their performance. Give this remix a listen, it’s definitely worth your time!
