            VS





Be fore we compare these two new kids on the block, lets learn more about them, shall we? Both proteges of very popular superstars - Kanye West and Jay-Z - these two are very different from each other.

Jcole

Born Jermaine Lamar Cole, Jcole is a lyricist of note. He is signed to his mentors record label Roc Nation (2009). He has spawned hit songs such as " Can't get enough" featuring the sexy Trey Songz, "No body's Perfect" featuring the on-point and sexy Missy Elliot and "Work it" which I found offensive at first...the track is too good to stay mad at. Cole released his debut album in 2011 " Cole World: The sideline story" referring to his long awaited jump into the industry after being signed for two years and not releasing anything. His music focuses on the story and lyrics; the beat is secondary yet carries the hook beautifully. Honestly he's my favourite.


Big Sean

Born Sean Micheal Anderson, Big is a flow-master; he has mastered the art of dance-rap. Guy is on another level with radio hits left right and center. He was 'discovered' by Kanye at a radio station in Ditroit and signed to his G.O.O.D music label in 2007. Since then he has had the forsight to build a strong following by releasing mix-tapes, three in total. The first "Finally Famous: The Mixtape" was released in 2007,  " UKNOWBIGSEAN" was released in 2009 and featured some established artists, "FInally Famous Vol3: BIG" was released in 2010 before he finally gave us a debut album " Finally famous". His album gave us hits like  " My last" featuring Chris Brown, "I do it", " Marvin Gaye and Chardonnay" featuring Kanye West and "Dance (A$$)" with Nicki Minaj. He has collaborated with one of my favrite artist from the Maybach empire Wale on a song called " Slight work".

Both artist have had many hits on the hitlist, but we find that Big Sean is leading the club scene with his beat concious music that makes you wanna move ultimately. lyrically Jcole wins this bout but Big Sean wins the swag race. What do you think?

TOYA

TOYA There are very few people in this country who have yet to hear "pump it on" , even less people know of the eccentric Ms. Buthelezi who goes by the stage name, "Toya Delazy" , the head strong songbird is the epitome of new-age pop that has some obvious hip-hop roots in terms of her styling and some of her melodies , thus making her a brand that is viable to a varied and vast market. The first time I heard her single I was watching a nondescript music show on a channel that I will never remember, when suddenly their theme song rang out and it was Toya telling me to pump it on, the following week while channel hopping I ( accidentally) came across the same show where they had her as a special guest. There I was, watching a 'uniquely' dressed individual play the piano and sing , I was bowled over with excitement ; not many of our contemporary artists show off their capabilities or musical performance range in terms of what they can do . Since the day...

my eyes and you

Praise worthy figment of this bards aspirations Potentially awesome "before" picture Dangerously perched perfection atop  pedestal Of nubian epitome. See you as I do. Feel as I feel when you smile Or speak or cry or laugh or smile or sit or sleep. Your everything, inspires admiration. Know this, know it to be true. Temple of thyself made by ancient hands and brought to life by human hearts Human loins, through whose collission came about your birth. Soulful creature, do not wonder the hills of life with sorrowful intent Do not shed a tear for anything less than an entity , a force of nature such as yourself.  Look in the mirror and be content.  For when my eyes look upon you I feel blessed, to see and know such delicate brashness and attractive "dnt care" My eyes and u have got something going on They cant stop watching and you dont mind performing. Eyes cannot comprehend the pure beauty that is you Cannot, but try to, drink you up in one glance...

You walked lightly

You Walked Lightly You walked lightly into my life Captivating and lovely to my mind, At first, I never cared who you were Now I don’t know who I am without you, You kissed me I felt my world change, You held me I heard my heart awaken, You loved me And my soul was born anew You walked lightly into my life Now my heart knows who you are And with every breath And every step I take down lonely roads, Your hand is my staff Your voice is my guide Your strength my shelter You’re passion my awakening. You walked lightly into my life, And all my pain You took as your own, And all my fears You cast into the sea, All my doubt Lost in your eyes, You walked lightly into my life And no matter if you choose to stay or go, My life is forever changed, Just because you loved me For a moment in time. And because I choose To love you For the rest of mine. - Tracey Newson -
