KRLX News Update 5/9By Nami on May 9, 2012 in newsCheck out this brief but informative news update from the KRLX News Team for May 9th, 2012. Top Five Fridays: Week 6 - Top Five "Intros"By John on May 4, 2012 in main![]() Every album has a first track, an intro, which gets the listener's attention and sets the tone for the rest of the album. In this week's edition of Top-Five Fridays, we look at the top five intro tracks that are actually named "Intro". Here we go: 1. M83 - "Intro" - Hurry Up, We're Dreaming The intro on M83's latest album is incredible. The record starts off with a mind blowing buildup of harmonies and synths. Zola Jesus, as a featured artist, only adds to this track's magnitude. The rest of the album continues the extraordinary standard set by this. 2. Doomtree - "Intro (Close Your Ears)" - Doomtree The loud, rhythmic sounds on this intro set the tone perfectly for the rest of the album. You can hear the voices of every member of the Doomtree crew shout over the scratches and samples. The sample at the beginning, "now guys, close your ears, 'cause at the start it will be really loud" captures the essence of the album; this is an 'in your face' album and is an onslaught of sound. Check it out! 3. Black Star - "Intro" - Mos Def & Talib Kweli are Black Star The intro on this Black Star album aptly sets the mood for the socially conscious rap which follows. Over scratches, ominous piano sounds, and drum beats, they set up the social discourse of the album by saying things like: "We feel we have the responsibility to shine the light into the darkness". Mos and Talib are "real life documentarians", and this is a perfect intro to a solid hip-hop album. 4. Gucci Mane - "Intro (Classical)" - The State vs. Radric Davis This intro captures the southern trap rapper's persona and his music. I love when the opera singers sing, "gucci, gucci, nothings goin to stop my reign". I don't know if I will ever be able to take Gucci's music seriously, as it is so over the top, but I dig this intro. 5. Big Boi - "Intro (Feel Me)" - Sir Lucious Leftfoot: The Son of Chico Dusty The intro off of Big Boi's summer 2010 album is a groovy, goofy track which provides a great transition into "Daddy Fat Sax" and the rest of this superb album. It's pretty ridiculous, but that's the spirit of the album. Listen here! Honorable Mention: Handsome Boy Modeling School - "Intro" - White People Ludacris - "Southern Fried Intro" - Chicken-n-Beer This Carleton Life: Married @ CarletonBy Rachel on May 3, 2012 in productionSomething old, something new, something borrowed and something maize and blue.
