Island/Def Jam recording artist John West keeps it all the way DefJam by linking Big Sean to this new record. Thoughts?

Jersey’s Joe Budden has a new out of nowhere group on deck and here’s what they came up with. Damn, Joe B singing…not a bad joint. Thoughts?

Ok so let me give you guys the back story on “SLV.” SLV stands for Summer Leather Vests…and is compromised of a bunch of people on Paradise Records. Paradise Records doesn’t actually exist, and 90% of the group aren’t musically inclined at all…but it still works. LOL! We formed the group over the summer while always playing around with music at Joe’s house (aka “Paradise”, hence “Paradise Records,”) and decided it would be fun if we made some odd singing group, a la Cocaine 80′s, that never really made appearances but would just be some fun for the internet. Thus, SLV was born. Joe and singer Emanny are the main (and usually only) vocalists on the songs, while Dub B, Parks and Caron made all the beats from scratch (with live instruments!). Yaris did one bar one time. LOL and the rest of us did nothing but sit in on sessions. “Unison” was the first song recorded and to think of Joe singing, you’d think it sounds crazy but it’s really good! Listen below and share your thoughts.
