Featured Mixtape: A Meazy – “The Real Ned Flanders”

A Meazy’s first solo project “The Real Ned Flanders”, has without a doubt set the bar for hip-hop album of the year in just 20 days of entering the new year. We assure you there’s no need to be skeptical as A Meazy has arguably delivered some of the best work we’ve heard come out of the CO.

In fact, this is the type of quality music Colorado’s hip-hop community should be rallying behind. Not to mention, A Meazy represents one of the many new faces in CO hip-hop that you’ll soon be getting accustomed to throughout 2015.

But enough of what we think, you be the judge…

 

Favorite Track: “Juice” / “Root of all Evil”

Featured Album: Wild High – “SDREAMS”

Wild High, one of the newest bands to hit the scene, just released their debut album “SDREAMS” and we must say it is pretty damn swanky. Cody, Clay, Pablo, and Nick managed to fuse the perfect mix of Rock and psychedelic rhythm to give us one of our favorite albums of 2014. The song writing in this album is surprisingly vivid and the vocal ranges compliment the melodies on every track in superb fashion. This is definitely one of those albums you can (and should) bring along with you on your next road trip and add to the playlist at your next shindig. If you like what you hear, show these guys some love @Wild_High.

 

Favorite track: “God in a Woman” “Tidal”

107.1 FM Changes Format Again and People are Pissed

Max Media’s latest incarnation Project 107X was just gaining momentum after launching almost a year ago when listeners woke up to a rude awakening on Christmas Eve. No more Rock, now it’s all hip-hop. Flo 107.1 (old school hip-hop and R&B ) is Max Media’s new attempt at establishing a profitable foothold in Denver’s commercial radio market. According to the Project 107X Facebook page, the change “came from the top”. The last post on the page read,

 

[vision_testimonial_set] [vision_testimonial client=”Seddy G”]”X’ers thank you for being the best damn group of listeners any station could ask for. This move was tough for everyone. The new Fly 107.1 is gonna be a good station. From the bottom of my heart I wanna thank each and every one of you. Stay in touch Xers. Love you guys. Take care of each other.”[/vision_testimonial] [/vision_testimonial_set]

 

Loyal listeners who were not aware of the coming change took the liberty of voicing their displeasure on the post. One reply that pretty much sums up everyone’s sentiment was,

 

[vision_testimonial_set] [vision_testimonial client=”Josh Meneses”]”I was completely devastated this morning on my drive to work. This really was the best station in Denver featuring the best blend of old and new (including punk) without the top 40 that everybody else overplays. Very very disappointed. Is there anything the fans can do to get this station back?” [/vision_testimonial] [/vision_testimonial_set]

 

Project 107X’s media kit boasted that they had 200,000 listeners a week, but that might have not been enough to entice advertisers. We reached out to Max Media to find out the specifics behind the change, although we have yet to hear back from them. We did, however, get a clue of what could have caused not only the most recent format change, but also the numerous format changes 107.1FM has seen in just the past few years.

 

[vision_testimonial_set] [vision_testimonial client=”Uncle Nasty”]”If you’re curious, 107X changed formats. Please no pity for me, it’s the good ones that are still left there working for a sub par radio group with incompetent leadership who needs your pity. 7 different formats, I believe, in six years. I’m sorry if you feel let down. Good luck to those who need it! Happy New Year, I’ll let you know where I land.” [/vision_testimonial] [/vision_testimonial_set]

 

Is bad leadership the cause of all this?

Discover Events in Colorado with the Denver Colorado Events App

Those of us lucky enough to live in Denver know that the Mile High City is rife with some truly amazing live shows and events, but it’s not always easy to find them. MileHI Music has dedicated itself to bringing you the latest and greatest in Denver’s budding music scene, but don’t you wish you had a way to find the hottest events right from your phone?

If you answered yes, then you’re not alone. Recent studies have shown that many of us spend 23 days a year on our phones. A blog post on AlchemyBet, owners of Pocket Fruity, has also said that many of us have used our phones in church or in a place of worship, while driving or while waiting for the bus, and some have even missed classes or important meetings from spending too much time on their phones. Because of this, some people have created apps that help all aspects of people’s lives, and Denver Colorado Events is one such app.

Created by Mark McKibben, the app seeks to make finding events in the Mile High City easier, segregating events so that users can find them based on day or week, as well as price. The only down side is that this app costs $1.29 to download, and this is a fairly steep price when you don’t know what you’re downloading or how accurate it really is. The app has, however, been updated to be compatible with iOS 8, and its creator is known for creating event guides for various cities across the US.

With a little bit of work, it may be possible for the Denver Colorado Events app to not just be another tool, but a complete necessity to those who are looking to discover the entertainment scene of Denver. Not to worry, however, because until the app is further developed, you’ve got MileHI Music to help you find the most relevant music news across the state.

Featured Album: 3hree – “The 3hree Project” (Various Artists)

One of the most notable releases of 2014 comes in the form of a collaborative album which features a few of Colorado’s upper-echelon Hip-hop and R&B artists. From top to bottom, The 3hree Project is a truly magnificent example of musical artistry. Up until now, many have said that Colorado’s urban music community lacked its own distinct sound and ultimately originality, but this album undoubtedly defies that stereotype. Instead of conforming with the status quo, it employs a new sound, a refreshing sound, a sound that is more befitting a city as gifted as Denver. While it most certainly has its gems, as is the case with any album, it has its questionable tracks as well. Yet and still, if  the world is listening, this is Denver Hip-hop.

 

Spread the word…
