Freestyle Friday: Why Didn’t I Think of That?
E-Dubble was one of many talented artists that was quite literally dumped in my lap many months ago while sifting through recent sign-ups on Grooveshark Artists. I remember listening to the entirety of “Hip-Hop is Good” in one sitting and really loving the title track; but lacking confidence in my knowledge of hip-hop to really tell anyone: “This is good fucking music” like I can with other artists.
Well: A few months later, somewhere around four albums worth of material, a hot second on the Popular page @Hype Machine (for “Palm Trees”), and a permanent resting spot within Hype Machine for his daily blog love - I felt affirmed. E-dubble is making some incredible music, and best of all - this guy knows what he’s doing. E-dubble has managed to navigate his way through the vastness of artist and fan centric social media - living in Grooveshark, Myspace, Twitter, Facebook, Soundcloud, Reverb Nation - straight into the hearts of bloggers and fans alike.
For the past 46 weeks (including this week), independent Baltimore-based E-dubble has been releasing a “Freestyle Friday” track every Friday for free - mixing, mashing, rapping, producing, recording and releasing completely solo. Even his outros are charming (“What is this, an afterschool special?”). Happy Friday, enjoy his latest Freestyle Friday on his Myspace.
