This dude called Fuze the MC

The best part of social media is the ability to be social. Everywhere. At all times. To everywhere in the world.

I just discovered a new artist today.  His name is Lance Carlton Deandre Coleman, but you might know him better as Fuze the MC of the Noble Black Society.  He's 21, attending Howard University, and has been called the "dopest nigga of the year" by Big Boi of Outcast (in case you don't know, that is a pretty big statement).

Sure, he's not big.  It's called underground for a reason.  But XXL and MTVu have taken notice, and I for one think that he deserves a lot more credit than he's given (refer to Big Boi's quote).  I just listened to the first five results on a YouTube search for "Fuze the MC" and had to go back and listen a second time.  Immediately followed that up with a Google search.  This resulted in his website http://fuzethemc.com/ which has a download available straight from the homepage.  Sincerely blown away and I had no knowledge of this artist until 11:00am today.  Roughly its 11:30am as I type this right now.

This brings me back to my first point. Social Media.  I wouldn't ever have thought to search for this artist.  My current tastes include vast ranges of EDM with artists that are associated with EDM acts such as Foreign Beggars, Example, Ellie Goulding, etc.  The hip-hop I'm interested in is normally more mainstream than underground with focuses on Jay-z, Kayne West, and Andre 3000 (when he's not on multi-year hiatus's).  Only very recently have I delved back into the underground (or probably more appropriate "semi-underground") with artists such as Tyler the Creator and OFWGKTA, and Hopsin.

For whatever reason, Fuze the MC decided to follow me on Twitter.  I was geeked.  Like catholic schoolgirl excited (not really but whatever). Anyway, seeing the blue checkmark next to the name (for those of you who don't tweet, it means that it is a "Verified" account) indicating it was the real deal.  So beyond the fact that I got a new follower, beyond the fact I got a new download for you today (and sorry for the absence, I've been hella extra busy lately), the reason I post this is because I discovered new music today.  And for that, I am thankful.  Enjoy!
