He is Hank. She is Cupcakes. A Brooklyn based, Israeli import, Hank & Cupcakes has garnered a generous fan base thanks to their charismatic, and engaging live shows. They are a highly energetic electro/pop duo, which sounds like neither pop nor electronic music. Their songs are both minimal and fascinating (a feat not easily accomplished).

Roots “Dear God 2.0″, Ross + Minaj ” Hello Good Morning RMX”
New Roots album How I Got Over out now for 7.99 on Amazon! Feelin’ this track and vid “Dear God 2.0″ more than some of the others (even though evasive talent Blu is on “The Day”), but overall the album doesn’t disappoint.

Though Diddy doesn’t... Read More
