Musicians Who Need Eyes In 2017, Pt. I
Sam Gellaitry

I've been on the Soundcloud scene for a hot minute now, and there is some serious talent I've just so happen to find over the years and the people on this list have grown so much to me and I feel like they need way more attention than they have now. With their unique styles, old school sampling infused with a futuristic sound, structure, and entertaining sound design and character, they really held me down throughout the year. Pardon me if I sound like a music critic or Anthony Fantano. Enjoy.

Monte Booker/Smino:

These two have proven to be the ultimate duo by collaborating on many, many projects and monte's minimalistic, groovy style mixed with random little sounds like ice cubes shaking, car horns, and little crinkles here and there along with Smino's multiple flows and very fun voice along with his very melodic hooks really creates the perfect mixture. They really compliment each other, but even then individually they're amazing. Monte has his own works on his soundcloud and even a few works out with Smino and hopefully an upcoming project soon this year.

Whereisalex:

One of many young prodigies that's been showcasing his talent for the longest, and yet still has yet to get the recognition he clearly deserves. I don't know if this comes from a producers point of view but his song structure, sound design and selection, and overall general musical expertise really keeps me immersed in anything he makes. Even when it came to turning songs we all know well into something totally different like on one of his popular songs "drake flow.", he created such a different mood and tone to it that it felt like a completely different song. Very intelligent and very under appreciated.

J'von:

Not only one of the more lyrical candidates on this list, but quite possibly one of my all time favorite rappers. Not only does he rap, but he produces most of his own music, paints, draws, animates, and is constantly expanding his creative arsenal. His voice is presents a lighter tone than most rappers nowadays, yet when you find yourself actually listening to what he has to say and how well he presents his double entendres and every aspect of his lyrical genius, you'll understand that soon he'll be more than just a soundcloud junkie.

Sam Gellaitry:

My favorite producer right now and has been for the past year or so and honestly one of the most innovative and captivating producer I've ever listened to. Honestly has never failed to impress me and honestly makes me smile every time he comes out with something new. I can never predict whats going to happen next but his composition and wonderful song structure and synth work almost makes me want to cry, figuratively and literally, just about every time. His style is so diverse and pulls me in every single time. I'm never unimpressed nor not excited about anything he's ever put out. He's my number one inspiration when it comes to music and his musical creativity really needs to get some eyes put on him immediatetly.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.

Top 10 Reasons My School Rocks!

Why I Chose a Small School Over a Big University.

I was asked so many times why I wanted to go to a small school when a big university is so much better. Don't get me wrong, I'm sure a big university is great but I absolutely love going to a small school. I know that I miss out on big sporting events and having people actually know where it is. I can't even count how many times I've been asked where it is and I know they won't know so I just say "somewhere in the middle of Wisconsin." But, I get to know most people at my school and I know my professors very well. Not to mention, being able to walk to the other side of campus in 5 minutes at a casual walking pace. I am so happy I made the decision to go to school where I did. I love my school and these are just a few reasons why.
