Caz Gardiner - Yes I Do [Review] May 31, 2017 by Yung Miss in Music, Reggae Though I enjoy the chill vibe of this track it’s a little too lackluster for my liking. Vocalist is great tho. Would love to see this performed live — Yung Miss (LA On Lock Blogger)

Èpique - Coachella / The Lobby [Review] May 31, 2017 by Yung Miss in Music, Rap, Autotune Rating: 4 out of 5 Love the vibe of this. Found myself bobbing my head to it.

Would love for him to find something to make him stick out as an individual more. 4/5 — Yung Miss (LA On Lock Blogger)
Hans Glader - Live Like This (feat. Salem Davern & Matt Giella) [Review] May 31, 2017 by Yung Miss in Music, Funk, Soul Rating: 4 out of 5 I usually don’t accept two tracks by an artist in the same sitting but Hans Glader just totally surprised me by going from reggae to funky soul “Live Like This”. What a talented drummer/producer! 4/5 — Yung Miss (LA On Lock Blogger)
Hans Glader - Starting Anew (feat. General Steel) [Review] May 31, 2017 by Yung Miss in Music, Reggae Rating: 4 out of 5 We don’t get too many reggae music submissions here at LAONLOCK so “Starting Anew” by Hans Glader is definitely a breathe of fresh air! 4/5 — Yung Miss (LA On Lock Blogger)
Radio Base - '5 Album' [Review] May 22, 2017 by Yung Miss in Music, Rap Rating: 4 out of 5 Its been awhile since I’ve had a chance to review an album by artist Radio Base but nice to be back! Here we go; The album starts with “That Yack”, a track introducing new listeners and welcoming back old supporters to the digital party Radio Base has been throwing for years. Liquor. Women. and That bounce!Next we have “Water” & we’re back to the party! The concept is perfect for what’s popular now but Radio has always been a trendsetter from what I’ve seen .. Even listening to this track reminds me of a dance I’ve seen him and members of his entourage do during love performances! ”A Whole Lot Of It” is solid. There’s something about Radio’s lyrics that I love. Genius without being extra and hippity hoppy about it. I think people might be sleeping on his lyrical ability because of the type of music he creates!A skit follows that remind me of concepts in Radio’s older mixtapes but let’s get back to the music.On “Don’t Matter” Radio Base gives the first verse torch to artist King Tyfollows hing I’ve noticed that Radio Base does is periodically feature New artist on his popular records introducing them to his core fan base. I can salute that. But sidenote. I woulda faded that track out in the end. Outro too long! Now “Chase the Cat”?! Yea.. Definitely love this concept and the beat is knocking!! * turns record up* Yup! Classic Radio Base! Straight like that... Why must I chase the cat?!”Back Up” brings that bounce back! Definitely something you can play at any party on the West Coast. Nice to hear the Stevianna collab too!”Big Worm” changes the tempo of things providing a laid back sound track for listeners who might not necessarily feel like turning up too much before the function!. Back to the party tracks ..”Nothing Major” & “Magic” follow adding to the collection of new tracks for house party DJsThere is a certain bounce to his music that reminds me of the Bay and the hyphy music but with that New West feel to it. With that being said “ Name On It” doesn’t differ to much from that description and definitely showcases Radio’s rap style and cadence. Ending the song off is “Karaoke” ...Got that Justin Bieber instrumental for it. Nice vibe. Dope skit. From there comes “OTW”, a bass and kick heavy track that keeps the tempo slower, something a little surprising since I’m used to Radio Base coming with uptempo bangers back to back. This change is nice tho! Shows diversity! Oh and word to the producer!”Serious” speeds things up again but honestly reminds me of a handful of tracks I’ve already heard on the album! ”Hair Tie” has a dope concept. Nothing on but a hair tie?! Okay! Definitely something different from Radio Base.. Tryna get the vocals popping huh? Lol I think the engineer coulda hit him with that autotune a lil bit more. But the track is clean. Next is “OhGod”, but that was his single and you already know it slaps!The album ends with “Again”, a track definitely left of the rest of the album. Sounds experimental for Radio Base. But still highlights his ability to do something different. Like pop music? LolOverall,5 is another solid Radio Base project! He has a little something for everyone! The party tracks for the party throwers and goers. Some slower tracks for the ladies. I like the diversity he tried to try while keeping his “sound” prevalent. I would like to see him experiment even more. Maybe even touch on the old school West Coast reminiscent of the sound of his mentor Too Short. If I had to point out a negative I would say that sometimes I feel like even though he is giving new artist a chance, the skill level of his collabs becomes somewhat of a seesaw of talent. I would like to see him work with people who are more on his level. Regardless, I enjoyed the project. Definitely have a couple favorites I’ll be adding to playlist I roll around too and I also have some tracks I’ll be adding to the list of tracks I play when I DJ lil shindigs! I look forward to seeing more visuals for this project and seeing what Radio Base will do next! — Yung Miss (LA On Lock Blogger)
