Whether you’ve noticed or not, Sam Adams has a buzz that’s growing by the day. And maybe you haven’t noticed, which is understandable, because the Boston-area native is making much of his noise outside of hip-hop circles, as he’s been garnered an especially fanatical following among college and high school kids. But now’s the time to get caught up.
The recent college grad first created a stir with his “I Hate College,” a remix to Asher Roth’s “I Love College,” which currently has five million hits on YouTube. He then made more noise last March when his Boston’s Boy debuted at No. 1 on the iTunes Hip-Hop/Rap Albums chart. No Sam is getting ready to perform in Cancun with Wiz Khalifa for college spring break in the coming weeks. He’s also prepping his debut album, which he says will be released on a major (he’s been fielding offers since Boston’s Boy), likely in late summer/early fall. —Adam Fleischer

Yet again XXL has failed again. Why are you promoting pop music and not hip hop let alone even rap music? Two, Sam Adams doesn’t use any key Dubstep sounds so he is just some hip pop. Get outta here XXL!
Gotta Agree with fazetwo….this kid is not using dub step at all and he is definitely pop. Everyone in his audience was little girls cuz they think he’s hot or something. Anyway, if you want to hear some good white Rap why not Check out Yelawolf. And that new SLAUGHTERHOUSE needs more spins. That shit is tight and they will only get better……..
Sam Adams = mediocre beer and even worse wanna be hip-pop stars……….
Boom…

You sir, do not know anything.
His audience is geared toward college kids, seeing as that he blew up when he was a senior in college – and started performing solely on college campuses. His lyrics make sense, and weave a story that for once, isn’t about being ghetto or killing people.
He originally stuck with the name Wiz/Wizzy until Wiz Khalifa became huge, and then he went with Sam Adams, since he is a descendant of Sam Adams and is from the Boston area.
Maybe I would have thought you knew something if you said check out Mac Miller or Chris Webby.. but Slaughterhouse? ..
ha.. nice jokes..
Mac Miller is better than Slaughter House?!?!?!?!?! Get the F*&% outta here… You dont deserve ear drums with shit like that
uh if you’ve heard his last mixtape Party Records you would definitely know that he uses dubstep
party records was fresh, stupid wookid over everything was annoying though.. but he has definitely turned to dubstep rap. he even says “this has not been done yet.” Listen to some music before you speak
haha look at all of these kids with their ridiculous names, trying a little too hard to be cool. …… is right, check out Party Records haha. real original with the beer reference…and Sam Adams is a Brew company ya dumb f***, not a beer. If you were actually 21, i’m sure you could find one they brew that you like…if not, grow a pair and join the ranks of men.
yeah you guys are retarded, party records is ALL dub-rap. stop hating’ on sam cuz he’ll amount to more then any of you
haha you cant really base knowing his sound off that one video….and yea if you’ve actually listened to any of his other shit on his last mixtape he uses electronic beats and dubstep produced by really well known producers and djs…
this dude trys way too much to act hard
I like Sam a lot, but having said that…Party Records fucking sucked. He got too far away from what hes god at, and tried to jump into the whole dub-rap thing too hard. His new songs hes come out with are dope though, coming home and letter to the lost are both legit.
dude is garbage
Wow people’s ignorance blows my mind. They hear one song and they automatically assume thats exactly what the artist is. Hmmm not dubstep rap? like it has been said before party records was all dubstep rap. Obviously you wouldn’t know and clearly don’t know about this kid so don’t talk before you write shit. Ha just like people said about asher ohh he’s just a party college kid. i laugh at you people because you haven’t heard all of their music
