W2FY Presents: Olu, a Name You Will Certainly Be Hearing in the Future

The first time I listened to Olu, his unique, flawless flow and his obvious lyrical talent immediately struck me. Olu was born in Akron, Ohio, and grew up in Strongsville, Ohio, a suburb of Cleveland.  “Because I grew up in the suburbs I always got judged and people thought I wouldn’t get anywhere with rap,” said Olu. “They had it wrong though. Living in the suburbs didn’t mean I was wealthy. My family was always broke. School was always a …

W2FY Presents: Brenton Duvall, Wiz, and T Swift; “Mean Planes and Taylor Gangs”

Brenton Rules. ‘Nuff said. Duvall’s production skills are absolutely absurd, listen to that synth, it’s the illest. Straight kids from this kid for a long, long time. Taylor should have him produce her next track.  Link to the interview after the jump! W2FY.com Presents: Mean Planes & Taylor Gangs (Wiz Khalifa and Taylor Swift) by jumbro

W2FY Introduces: Tayyib Ali

W2FY Presents: Interview with Brenton Duvall

For those of you who don’t already know, Brenton Duvall is fucking good at producing music. His new song, “That’s All,” is a completely original production that features a Gucci Mane acapella (and a filthy sample taken from Drake’s “Unforgivable). “That’s All” blew up on Hypem, and reached #2, which, for all you ignorant bitches out there, is a pretty damn big deal. Still new to the game, we can expect a lot from Brenton-his music is getting doper with …

Official Drop of Big Z’s New Album, “Slow Down”

Today, Big Z, the crazy good 16 year old producer out of Philly, is dropping his new album, “Slow Down.” I was lucky enough to get a chance to speak with the young producer about his new album, and I have to tell you guys that this album is absolutely ridiculously good. The album is dropping today on Sunset in the Rear View, but right now, it looks like we are the only site to have dropped it yet, thanks …

W2FY Presents: An interview with Hoodie Allen, the rapper you should be talking about

If you haven’t heard already, Hoodie Allen is blowing the fuck up. Like, the kid’s good. He’s putting out a new mixtape “Pep Rally” on Sept. 21 which should be mind boggling. Anyway, DPrep got a chance to talk with the 21-year old Google employee by day, rapper by night, and find some shit out. Check it. I interviewed Hoodie Allen because I believe in his music. It’s a much needed change of pace from the vast majority of bullshit …

If you’ve been wandering around campus today, maybe you’ve seen my buddy Ricky canvassing the quad and campus center with GetchaBooks.com swag.

I hope you have, but if not, fear not, because W2FY sat down with the man himself and learned all there is to …

W2FY Presents: An Interview with Upcoming Artist Charlie Brennan

I recently had the chance to talk to Charlie Brennan, a (shockingly) young new singer/songwriter. At such a young age, it’s pretty amazing what he’s been able to accomplish in terms of getting an EP, Fight!, on iTunes and receiving some amount of critical acclaim for doing it, even appearing on such webcasts as Wrecked Radio. Remember, you heard about him first on W2FY! Interview after the jump. Tell us a little about yourself, how old are you now and …

W2FY Presents: An interview with the “Western Mass / Bro-Core / Club-pop / Underground-Mainstream” sensation, All Out

Last December we put you on the trail of Tufts’ own All Out and their single Lights. It’s been awhile since we heard from them, but saw a notification in my news feed a couple days ago about their mix tape coming out today, so I figured I’d get the insight scoop from them. After the jump check out the full interview and a link to download the mix tape. Check out more All Out on Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, or …

  If you guys have been reading the site at all over the last few weeks, you’ll have noticed our Freestyle Fridays with e-dubble.
