Groovin’ Thursday: Devin the Dude – “What We Be On”
While other rappers boast at being the hypest or the crunkest Devin the Dude, ‘aka’ Devin Copeland is more fit and satisfied for the laid back style and reference to life. Not to say he doesn’t cover the more serious topics in tunes. Living life and rougher times and coming out of Houston its surprising his style turned out as such. But, all more for us to enjoy as stoners.

Groovin’ Thursday: Splinta – Let There Be Sound
Splinta is a just a surf bum with a habit of making songs for the beach. Non-rap name is Chad Campbell hailing from the Big Island of Hawaii. Chad started making music with Arena Productions a while back. And, after he made a successful mixtape called “Kona Mash”, Pepper, who is with a label called Law Records was kind enough to produce and distribute the first Splinta record named “Aftaparty”. Since then Chad has continued to make beach rap as a solo artist, adding 4 more albums to his catalog. Melding conscious lyrics, organic beats, and Hawaii’s vibe. Splinta says he makes music for beach people and land lubbers alike.
Groovin’ Thursday: 1st Place – “Saggin Remix”
I first heard of 1st Place on a radio show called ‘Scratch and Sniff’. Its a show where they remix tunes into each other. Like an AC/DC tune into a Ludacris jam. And so on. 1st Place is one of the unsigned acts they play and also one of their favorites to throw on too it seems. Ive dug everything I’ve heard from these guys and last week when I heard this one on the radio I had to get it from the guys.
Groovin’ Thursday: Kornbred – “Struggle”
Travelle Wiggins ‘aka’ Kornbred has had a tough life. No money and bad neighborhoods throughout childhood left him wanting more. His hardships increased at the age of 16 when he had to turn to “The Covenant House” homeless shelter where he would spend the next two years bouncing in and out of. At the age of 19 he lost his mother and decided to try and start everything all over.

A friend of reform and an artist deep down you can certainly expect the best from him. Goose has also won a “Best Male Artist” and “Best Hip Hop Song” from the Marijuana Music Awards for his tune “Cali”. You’ve heard “Cali” and No Seeds” on NORML LIVE and now you get to hear “Off the Pot”.

Iration was born from a love of all types of music and a desire to create something new.
