Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio, Vol. 15: It's A New Year Baby!

It's been a while but Gangstas Use Emoticons Radio is back right in time for the new year! To celebrate 2012 AND the 6 Month Anniversary of the site, I decided to put straight party tracks on this mix.  If you're looking for more indie tracks, check out the other editions!

Thank you all for all of your support since I launched the site.  This has been a huge learning experience and I'm still not close to bringing Gangstas Use Emoticons to its peak.  I appreciate all you gangstas for riding with me through all the music, mixes, videos (and typos), and I'd love to hear any feedback that you have!

Enjoy! Tracks from Nas, Ludacris, Wale, 50 Cent, Jay-Z & Kanye West, Young Jeezy, B.o.B, Andre 3000, Rihanna, Kendrick Lamar, and more!!

Next Up: J*Davey

Good morning, gangstas! I've heard about the Los Angeles duo J*Davey for a while now, but I finally took the time to explore and stop sleeping on them.  After one listen to their new single "Queen of Wonderland," I was thankful that I did!  Check it out below, and make sure you cop it on iTunes to support the "funk/soul/electronic/pop" twosome.



"Queen of Wonderland" is one of the many tracks that will be released on their debut full-length album New Designer Drug, set to hit iTunes on November 22nd for only $2.99.  Included will be an extensive set of liner notes, which will include lyrics, exclusive photos, and a detailed story behind Jack Davey & Brook D'Leau's creation of NDD.  If you're not completely sold yet, hit the jump for the visuals to "Whatchalookin@" and "Kill 4 Fun!"
