Mattress by Micah B.

Mattress by Micah B.

Hip hop artist Micah B. released his first official single “Mattress” along with a music video. One listen to his flow and you’ll be thinking why haven’t I heard of this 19 year old Filipino-Hawaiian from Seattle. His individualistic nature is best reflected in his personal belief that he wants to be original and remain obscure, which is expressed in his multi-layered style that refuses to be easily defined. He’s twisting up flavor, soul, and witty delivery in his music.

In this video he’s killing it from his mattress. Perhaps a dream in a dream. It’s a slightly creepy video just in time to spook you for Halloween. You can get his single on Mattress - Mattress - Single.

Keep your eyes out for more Micah B. coming soon.

The True Origins of Pizza

The True Origins of Pizza
Korean pizza chain “Mr. Pizza” created a mockumentary about the “True Origins of Pizza”. From Brooklyn to Seoul, Gum Shoe Pictures left no stone unturned as they searched for an answer to the age-old question — Was pizza really invented in Korea? The video offers a compelling argument about how Marco Polo stole pizza from Korea. Pretty funny and bizarre stuff from the CEO of Mr. Pizza, Woo-Hyun Jung.

Missed Opportunity by Alfa Garcia

Lyrics to Missed Opportunity by Alfa

Don’t make me do the things / that you want me to do
Like going out dancing / and listening to
all your songs / about somebody new.

A crossword game you play / while you’re shuffling names
but I’m the answer to questions / you’re wanting to say
8 letters across / for true love.

CHORUS:
Don’t wanna be the girl on the side / waiting for her goodbye
holding out hope / that you’ll finally find
I’m the one that you need / but until you see
I won’t wait / til you fall for me
So call me a missed opportunity.

Our friendship to the test / a broken ego at best
but I’d rather hang on / to whatever is left
of my pride / if it means goodbye.

You know I can’t refuse / things you want me to do
oh, I’d be hangin’ on by a string if I could
so i’ll walk away / til some other day.

CHORUS

Bridge:
It’ll break my heart for sure
‘Cause I’m supposed to be yours
I saw it / in a dream / last night

We Can Be Anything by Apl.de.ap

We Can Be Anything by Apl.de.ap

With Black Eyed Peas on hiatus, band member Apl.de.ap is spending time supporting education in the Philippines. In his song “We Can Be Anything,” the singer inspires kids to become what they dream to be. Although the song is for the Philippines, it applies to education aroudn the world.

From his own experience, apl.de.ap (a.k.a. Allan Pineda) knew that, for many Filipinos mired in poverty or other difficult circumstances, education is the only long-term ticket to a better life. Unfortunately, millions among the youth are deprived of this ticket to opportunity or drop out of school for a variety of reasons. One basic obstacle is the severe shortage of public school classrooms; the Department of Education estimates the backlog at 66,800 classrooms as of schoolyear 2010-2011, Another factor is the barren environment for learning in many parts of the country due to scarce resources with which to set up libraries and similar facilities.

Several organizations have launched programs to address these and many other problems besetting the Philippine educational system. Through his foundation, apl.de.ap wants to be able to help some of these programs.

On a personal level, he simply wants to tell young Filipinos that he was able to go so far in life because he got an education. To deliver this message, he has composed the song, “We Can Be Anything”, around which a campaign could be built. Through the WeCanBeAnything campaign, apl.de.ap lends his celebrity, music and personal network to rally massive support for key education initiatives, while reinforcing the broader message on the importance of education.

Apl.de.ap has been helping the Philippines with his celebrity status. Listen to his songs for We Be Workin’, Mama Filipina, U Can Dream, and Take U to the Phillipines.
