Song Review: Crown - Diplo

The song I have chosen to review today is called Crown by Diplo. In this song, they feature three other artists; RiFF RAFF, Boaz van de Beatz and Mike Posner. RiFF RAFF is an artist who has recently been introduced to the world of rap or hip-hop. In this song, Riff RAFF is more of the "lesser known" artists in the song. Unlike RiFF RAFF, Mike Posner (artist of "cooler than me") does the vocals in the song, with RiFF RAFF doing the smaller rap verses. And the original beat, tempo, sound, and flow of the song was created by Boaz van de Beatz. Like many others, Boaz in more of an unknown artist.

The song has an uplifting beat to it. It has main verse or chorus that says "Imma be the king soon..... I can't wait to be king!" Obviously there aren't many kings left, the song is very figurative. Most songs use metaphors as a way to send a message so that the people who hear it can make their own connections. This effect is used to sell more songs, sometimes when the song is vague, it can sell better because people connect in their own way. Although there are many songs like this, many people have never heard this kind of music, much less heard of the genre.

Sound Quality; It's Worth It

While music is a very important factor for some people, it can be very hard to find a good way of listening to your music; faulty headphones/earbuds, poor speaker quality, the list goes on. The point is, when you listen to music that you absolutely love, you probably want good sound quality. My referral would be two places.Skullcandy®, which is a store local to Park City. Skullcandy® does shipping to most international areas. They have excellent sound quality and not all their products are unreasonably priced. Their newest release is a pair of headphones called the crushers. The Crushers are featured with a bass adjusting switch to control the level of low sounds through your music. They are made to block out sounds with its noise canceling design. But quality like this always has its price; with its "best seller" and "best quality" titles, it sells at $100 (not including shipping if you're not local).My other referral would be Bose Co.®. Although I know not near as much about them as I do Skullcandy®, every product I've tried by their company has been very exceptional in their making of earbuds. This company is not limited to just headphones, earbuds, and small-size speakers. Unlike Skullcandy®, Bose makes home theater products including Bluetooth speakers. But their latest project was their very own HDTV equipped with  their SoundTouch device. If you would like to browse any of these companies I will have the links posted below

FYI/ Reviews

The song of the week is called Sluggin' by Ricky Remedy. It is a mix of dubstep and "rave" music. The idea of these kind of songs is to built energy until what they call a bass drop, which is usually a different mix of sounds or beats. They generally use this kind of music at big parties or events to build every and heighten the mood for the kind of music. There are most likely different names for this kind of music, but the official and most used name, is Tribal Trap Music. I will be posting links to other songs by the same artist and same genre of music. Tell me what you think about it and I'll try to post more like it!
I will be posting videos of the week that will usually be sports, or any other cool activity or creation. If you have any suggestions or links, look below to contact me.

As much as I love reviewing new music for you guys, I want your help. Join in with discussions, I will try to review an out-of-the-box song along with  the artist, as well as the song of the week; feel free to talk about the subject and/or comment about it. But for now I am going to start with the song of the week. I hope to see you here next time when things are a bit more developed.
