LMFAO Live Set & ‘Sorry For Party Rocking’ Discussion

LMFAO perform on Walmart Soundcheck

LMFAO performed for a crowd of fans at Ruby Skye in San Francisco for Walmart Soundcheck. The live set includes performances of ‘Sorry for Party Rocking’, ‘I’m In Miami’, ‘Sexy and I Know It’, ‘One Day’, ‘La La La’ and ‘Party Rock Anthem’.

During an interview, Redfoo and SkyBlu talked about their “Sorry for party rocking” saying, being okay with Flo Rida passing on ‘Sexy and I Know It’, not catching the love on radio before getting a Grammy nomination, how ‘Party Rock’ was an experiment messing around in the kitchen, while the new album ‘Sorry for Party Rocking’ is “hot dishes that we know tastes good”, and more.

“To us life is a party. In the studio just to us it depends. Sometimes we have that vibe where we wanna go out but we have to work, so let’s just bring the party to the studio,” Redfoo explained. “So you do your vocals and people are just right there, partying up… That’s actually one of my funnest ways to do it. You get inspired by the nice lookin’ ladies coming over, then you play the song, and then they’re dancing. So you see this is what it’s gonna be like. If you play it and you think it’s really great and they don’t dance, then maybe there’s something the matter with that and then you put in this sound…”

The concert and interview can be viewed at soundcheck.walmart.com. Check out additional pictures from the appearance after the cut. (more…)

The Away Team ‘Scars & Stripes’ Album Cover And Track Listing

The Away Team 'Scars and Stripes'

The Away Team (Emcee Sean Boog and producer Khrysis) are set to release their new album ‘Scars & Stripes’ on October 11th through Jamla / It’s A Wonderful World Music Group / Duck Down Music.

The cover of the album depicts a photo from the 1965 Watts Riot, a large-scale riot which lasted 6 days in the Watts neighborhood of Los Angeles, California.

The Away Team feel that “during the Watts riots of 1965, racial tension was at an all-time high, due to Desegregation and Police Brutality. The riots were a direct reflection of an angered society. This, however, placed a ‘Scar’ on American history. The riots, although violent and fatal, was a necessary turn of events in order to get where we are as a society today. We observe those monumental events in our country’s history and relate them to hip hop and the changes it has made worldwide. Through our music, we use our own ‘scars’ we’ve endured as a group, and as individuals, to show our growth and transformation, and how we’ve earned our ‘Stripes’.”

‘Scars & Stripes’ Album Track Listing:
1) Intro
2) Bad News feat. King Mez & Blue Raspberry
3) Scars & Stripes
4) 4 The People
5) Cheers (f/ Heather Victoria)
6) What Is This (f/ Evidence)
7) The Road To Redemption
8) Drift
9) Set It Off feat. Talib Kweli & Rapsody
10) Happenin’ Today
11) Hot Potato feat. Halo & Sundown (of Actual Proof)
12) I Ain’t Mad (f/ Jay Rush)
13) Paid feat. Laws & Big Remo
14) Proceed feat. Enigma (of Actual Proof)
15) Get Down feat. GQ
16) Picture This feat. Kelsy Lu
17) See U Later feat. Phonte
