Asasson – “Writers Block (Mathematics Remix)”
Harlem native Asasson just dropped his first release in a while, entitled “Writer’s Block”; Asasson’s old school style flow and lyrics do the DJ Premier/Mos Def beat justice. This song shows serious improvement since his last release, showing that Asasson has undeniable potential. Check out the track below and hit Asasson with a like on Facebook.
Man Overboard- “Where I Left You” Music Video
“Where I Left You” is Man Overboard’s second single from their upcoming album, this time coming with a music video. This single is definitely stronger than the first single (“White Lies”) for the album. It’s hard to deny hearing the Blink influences in the beginning, but that applies to pretty much every pop-punk song. Definitely a great release by the band and this should make Man Overboard fans even more excited for Heart Attack on May 28th. Look out for The Story So Far’s cameo at the end of the video.
Drake (ft. James Fauntleroy) – “Girls Love Beyonce”
Drake released a new single from his upcoming album, entitled “Girls Love Beyonce”. The song shows Drake returning to his R&B style (unlike the first two singles), featuring James Fauntleroy on the chorus singing a variation of “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child. Check out the track below.

Interview with upcoming artist Old Best Friend
Old Best Friend performing at the Vibe Lounge in RVC
Last weekend, YGM went to see one of our favorite upcoming indie acts perform in Rockville Centre. Old Best Friend performed their first full-band set that night, and it sounded absolutely awesome (nowhere near what you would expect a bands FIRST show to sound like). There wasn’t the biggest crowd out there for him that night, but with Old Best Friend’s near flawless debut EP and memorable live show that’s sure to change very soon.
Mike Comite of Old Best Friend was nice enough to sit down with us for a interview after the show. Click ‘read more’ to read the interview and see some live footage from the show.
Vampire Weekend- “Diane Young” & “Step”

Modern Vampires Of The City will be officially released on May 7th.
