Music

I’m always on the lookout for new music and bands that I hadn’t heard of before. There are many places to find new tunes on the net, but what I value most is a playlist of music from a like minded individual. Recently my girlfriend told me about a site she found called 8tracks (not to be confused with eight-track) and it’s brought me to a whole new realm of music discovery.

8tracks is an online music platform that allows users to create their own internet radio mixes and share them with the world. This isn’t exactly a unique concept, with many other sites doing something similar – such as Grooveshark – but what I like about 8tracks is the simple interface, and the surprising amount of high quality mixes.

Only a few weeks ago, he had the privilege of being the open act for my absolute favorite rap group, Bone-Thugs-N-Harmony. Terell had the opportunity to travel on a 13 date tour across Canada with the Bone Thugs crew from BC all the way to Nova Scotia. Upon completion of the tour, he collaborated with ‘Young Kidd’ on a track called Jackpot.
