Free Friday Ear Food...Sam Adams

Sammy Adams came out of no where and climbed to the number one most downloaded album on i-tunes in less than a month. This white, college kid from Boston is living the college dream. He’s rolling through the college circuit banging all the hot chics, meanwhile he probably hasn’t been in a college classroom in over a year.

Sam Adams is smart in the fact that he doesn't think that rap albums are only about rap. Rap albums these days are about good production, catchy hooks, a good chorus, and relating to the masses. That’s just what Sammy does on his first EP “Boston’s Boy.”

The most played song on the EP is “Driving Me Crazy” where Adams combines everything that is clutch for making a pop/rap song, including making the song particularly appealing to females. Another big hit on the release is a remix called “I Hate College,” which is basically an anthem to all college kids everywhere and is one of my favorite songs of his.

Now Sam Adams has released a ‘Mix Tape’ titled “Party Records” that you can listen to and download here.

For those of you that haven’t been keeping up with the rap game, it is changing. Mixed tapes are the new way to promote yourself. Basically it is an album that is thrown together and pumped out. The focus of these albums is mainly to promote the rapper, rather than being a carefully constructed album that was thought through and combed over. You’ll hear more samples from other songs than a typical rap album, since the mixed tapes are done so quickly and are usually free.

If we were still in college this is the shit we would be hearing everywhere.
