One of the biggest artist of the 00's, T-Pain, transformed the music industry when he released his first single back in '04/'05 titled "I'm Sprung" which was recorded completely in auto tune. At the time T-Pain came out he was the only artist using auto-tune and after his first single he became an overnight success. Like most pioneers, Pain received a lot a criticism by people and other artists because they wanted to know if he could sing without help from auto tune. A lot of old hip hop and r&b fans blame Pain for heavy auto-tune use with new artists and some artists use it as a crutch because they lack real talent. Pain is currently beefing with Kanye West and Future for inappropriate use of auto-tune. He even claims he studied auto-tune for 2 years before he even used it. This year T-pain has totally changed as an artist, he cut his dreads off and will be releasing new music in coming months. Check out this exclusive video of T-Pain singing all of his hit songs. I watched the video and could not believe that he could sang like that all this time, I don't see why he used auto-tune in the 1st place! This is def a must-see .

So New Saturday: Chi-town Rapper King Louie's New Mixtape Tony Is An Instant Classic [LISTEN HERE]
My hometown, Chicago has recently been receiving a lot of media attention not only because of its high crime rate but for it's blazin underground hip-hop scene. Chicago aka "Chiraq's" rap community basically started what is known as drill music. Rappers from the Chi have been receiving worldwide recognition with artists like Chief Keef, Lil Herb, Dreezy & more. King Louie is also one of the innovators of drill music but hasn't got much attention as his peers. King L has been featured on Kanye's album YEEZUS and has his picture on the cover of Common's new album Nobody's Smiling.

Despite all the attention and being signed to Epic Records, King Louie has yet to come out with an official album but his mixtapes never disappoint. The rapper's new mixtape Tony has been receiving a lot of love from the hip-hop community. On the mixtape are unforgettable songs like "Difference" feat Slitta , "Live and Die In Chicago" and "B.O.N". King L takes fans into the life of a Chicago drilla and has more of a grittier flow on this mixtape. I listened to the entire mixtape and it wasn't one track that I could not connect with on some level. Louie is exactly what hip-hop needs because in world so full of facades and fakery everyone is looking for that one artist who is gonna keep it real.
LISTEN TO THE TONY HERE !
