Just want to make a post all about Alejandra Deleon from Rock The Basement and ARTic on Drakoloid.
Alejandra Deleon born December 12, 1999 she is currently doing youtube videos constantly one of the best new/small youtubers. Alejandra is a very comedic talented young lady many say she may be "The Face of Drakoloid" for the next few years. I think her and Hazel Woodley will rule together in my opinion.
In Rock The Basement she is the host and main act for all the episodes so its a one woman show just like how it was in Diaries Of Alice's Bedroom. She is following Sarah Kellysen's roots and maybe this time she will become even bigger now that Drake Vegas has a structure within his shows.
Then in ARTic, while Pat Kizer was out for a while she substituted as Samantha Vegas, as well as guest starred on other episodes as different characters in the show. It proved big time in this show her comedic timing is phenomenal. I hope she appears more often and do more guest work in the future. She seems to have been becoming loved within the community, Just in the past few weeks.
Happy Birthday Alejandra Deleon you are a personal and fan favourite of mine and I hope your day is blessed with the best. :) We love you #Lions

Drakoloid Reviews: ARTic "Samantha's Big Carwash Scam" & High Schooled "The Troll"
Hey everybody,
Retrograv here reviewing two Drakoloid shows from a Frakoloid line up for ARTic and High Schooled.
Anyways lets start..
Tonights ARTic was titled Samantha's Big Carwash Scam this episode I assumed was a big Samantha one. This episode was about how Samantha started a car washing business but Jennifer finds out she is just doing as a scam to ride in peoples cars. Jennifer and Samantha end up getting stuck in the car which they call for Bradley to save them. Sooner or later Bradley saves them but Samantha backs up and the car is backed into the garage, which then they all leave with raccoons eating everything in the garage. 😂
In my opinion I thought this episode was the best and most normal episode of season three so far. It had a few main character missing but it was very simple and funny. The car wash music dancing and the physical comedy elements really complimented the episode. Alejandra Deleon really knows how to play Samantha Vegas very well.
Overall I would give Samantha's Big Carwash Scam a rating of 8.5/10 it was honestly the best episode with physical comedy in the series or one of the best.
The other Drakoloid show I am reviewing is High Schooled with the short called The Troll. In this episode Derek posts a video of him and Ryan rapping which goes viral then someone is trolling the comment sections. Derek believes it is Amanda, but when someone else keeps typing when Ryan and Derek are confronting her it proves she didn't do it. Plot twist, at the end Amanda's friend was doing it. 😈
So this short episode was really funny and just a nice bit of what were going to get in the series while we wait for The Cult (Part 2). I really love the use of Amanda in the show she is a really funny character on the side that we see. Sometimes we see Sean and then other times Amanda. This was released before The premiere episode on Comedy Cubed channel, came out it was a good preview.
Overall The Troll is pretty solid and simply so I would give it a 8/10 especially with the way things were done. Good job to all!

Drakoloid Review: Nov 18th ARTic & High Schooled - Procrastination & Cults
Hey everybody,
Retrograv here reviewing tonights Frakoloid/Drakoloid line up so just wanted to say that tonights Frakoloid line up was changed bit because Viral Jenneration moved to the 8pm slot and ARTic is now 815pm. I don't know if thats going to be pushed further when High Schooled and Rock The Basement have more episodes? Its interesting how things are changing with the structure of Drakoloid.
Anyways lets start..
Tonights ARTic was titled Kicked Out For Procrastination now the title suggest that this is about Procrastination, which it is. This episode was about how Amy didn't want to work on her project in reality but in the dream when everyone slacks off, everyone gets kicked out of the school. Amy then realizes the consequences when you don't do your homework or when you leave projects for the last minute or never hand them in. Which every student went on academic probation by the end. Luckily it was all just a dream.
Now I understand what Drake was trying to aim for with it being a fantasy but I feel it wasn't fantasy enough. I felt like they should of made more subtle it made look ridiculous, like some type of ARTic alternate world parody. It was hard to follow and didn't make much sense but then again it was just a dream at the end, so it kind of fits all the chaos.
I have to say Elly Chan who played Amy (while Leila is gone) tonight did a really good job and gives Amy new more innocent light. Elly has been improving each and every episode. She is progressing well as an actress and youtuber. Maybe I will review her channel or a specific video of hers next.
I don't know why during this episode for Rhys Clarke who is the strongest in this show right now. I honestly want to see him in a movie or something. Like a James Bond movie. Maybe its accent thats giving me that vibe ?
Something that I noticed tonight was the new opening credits. They shortened the theme song to 40 seconds. But congratulations to the Willy family which is Kyle Willy portrayed by Remy Esposi and Principal Willy portrayed by Paul Petroskey also famously known as WeirdPaul. Huge fan of both of them so it makes me excited to see them in the opening credits for every episode. ☺
Overall I would give Kicked Out For Procrastination a rating of 5/10 or 6/10 it was honestly a mediocre dream episode that could of been taken further. But it still had its moments.
The other Drakoloid premiere tonight was High Schooled with the new episode called The Cult (Part 1). In this episode Derek and Ryan plan a sleepover which Sean intrudes and brings over his friends. His friends are part of this video game club called "The Hunters". Derek is trying to eagerly get in while Ryan wants nothing to do with it. When Derek tries to play the first day in the club Sean has to explain the rules. Then it fades out to be continued.
So this episode was well written, the acting is getting better and the production overall is amazing. Many compared this episode to early ARTic episodes where they get vibes of that. I also found the ongoing joke about how Ryan's middle name is "Leslie" hilarious because as someone who has done research on this show I found out that Ryan was originally going to be named Leslie.
Now I am just going to make a speculation on what will happen in The Cult (Part 2). I think Sean and the hunters will trap or abandon Derek and lock him out of his own house. Something along those lines seem to fit and the idea is for them to get back in. As well Ryan gets locked out too without realizing it. The hunters seem shady just because Sean knows them maybe?
Hopefully the second part comes out within the next month. I am going to tempt myself to wait and not watch it on Comedy Cubed as a loyal Drakoloid fan.
Overall The Cult (Part 1) is pretty solid and I would give it a 8/10 especially with the way things were excuted. Good job to Derek De Jong, Nicholas Merchant, Paul Ingersoll, Rhys Lewis and Lee Friedman.

Drakoloid Review: October 28th ARTic & Viral Jenneration - The End & Beginning of a New Era
Hello internet,
Retrograv here with my first review in a long time, My Drakoloid reviews always get the most views so I thought I would do one tonight on Drakoloid's/Frakoloid supposed "Night Of Terror".
First Drakoloid finally premiered the new season of ARTic which is also the final season. Now many were pretty hyped up for months but it finally came out. As someone who watched ARTic since it first came out many things have changed with the show. In tonights episode "The Phantom Funhouse" Samantha gets a job at a Phantom Funhouse where she wants Jennifer, Amy, Bradley and Blake to make a prop for it.
When they place it in the funhouse they get lost and all hell breaks lose. Got to say the visuals in this were amazing reminds me of Sarah Kellysen's Psychedelic music videos as like a promotion, don't know if that was the intention. But I have to say Sarah Kellysen/Jennifer Clotz seemed very tired and very off in this she didn't seem like her usual. Starting with that gap sweater she was wearing it didn't make sense with her character. Its like a cross breed of Jennifer/Alice. Maybe Sarah is just tired now and her time is up as Queen of Drakoloid? Its strange how this episode is airing on this night and we notice this now.
I wasn't the only one who thought this many on twitter were discussing Sarah's spark/magic in her acting is gone. Also Jack Kelly who plays Blake Columbus he looked really good in this episode I wonder if he goes to the gym because it looks like he has a six pack, kind of how Drake Vegas always pictured Blake. He did a good job with acting and his scenery was the best.
Alejandra Deleon replacing Pat Kizer for Samantha Vegas I think because Pat has been busy and hasn't done youtube videos in a while. Alejandra does a really good job at Samantha because she's played villains on Rock The Basement and now ARTic. She could be in the rein for new Drakoloid Queen and possibly youtube queen. That make up and outfit was on point perfect and made Samantha look like a sexy slaying witch. Guess that works for halloween? ;)
As for Bradley Berkowitz, Rhys Clarke gets better and better every time he looked really good in this episode and those echo effects on his voice brought a haunting vibe to the whole episode. Elly Chan who plays Amy did decent herself and is getting better as time goes. Overall, The Phantom Funhouse is a strange season premiere, a fun one yet very bizarre and different. Not my favourite episode ever but its pretty average or above it so I would give either a 6.5/10 or 7/10.
The long anticipating Viral Jenneration has finally premiered tonight. This show stars Hazel Woodley, Shripunzel Jr, R.H.V., Cameron Watson and Michaela Chandler. It is based off the story of Jenna Rose the girl who got internet famous for being a young overly autotuned singer. In this case Jenna Martinez who plays Woodley has the same situation and its a view of how Jenna Rose's real life the day after she became Viral. The way its portrayed and written is really well excuted in my opinion. Hazel Woodley nails from bad to good really well in her acting, theres in more in-depth here then in her Teenhood performance, Maybe its because she's older here. I felt the same way about Cameron Watson who plays Ryder Thompson in this. In Long Lost he did a great job, but in this even better because he's older and has gotten more acting experience. Cameron also has great whitty comedic timing and charm that just works. As for Shripunzel and R.H.V. who play Sage and Leo they fit their part of being strong in a small world for being the small ones who were bullied on. They are great in tonights episode but you can see their is work needed but I think like other Drakoloid actors they will improve. Then there is the two twin villains done by one actor Michaela Chandler. She is a brilliant actress for playing two parts one looks bi polar and the other is completely dazed. Beautiful job on the role and nailed it.
Overall, Viral Jenneration truly is the new ARTic by the looks of it to lead the new generation of Drakoloid into a new direction. Its fresh, relatable to kids these days because anyone can become viral easily and it has a message about bullying and cyber bullying. Not to mention Hazel Woodley breaking out as her own type of artist and not being like the typical pop artists that work on Drakoloid. Hazel Woodley is the new queen/princess of Drakoloid and I hope we see her on more shows and Cameron Watson is the new king of Drakoloid and I hope we see him in more too. As well as Alejandra Deleon, Derek De Jong, Nicholas Merchant, Rhys Clarke and Pat Kizer as being legends too.
Tonight was the night where we can see the end of the last era and now were starting the new era of Drakoloid now.

#MOJO2016 Single Review
Hello blog readers,
RetroGrav here with a review on the upcoming project single review on the album "#MOJO2016" from the group MOJO. This is a hip-hop rap group from Houston, Texas that is debuting there album #MOJO2016 this year. Currently there are two singles out which I am about to review.
The first single is titled "Co-Sign" is an aggressive rap hip-hop track that screams epic. The lyrics are very honest and open "Ain't Got No Time For These Bitches" is a true statement. This is the type of song that the mainstream rap industry needs and brings rap back to what its been missing for years. My rating for this track is 9 out of 10.
And then there is the second single "Wait For It" another song that has a fairy tale story telling type of dark rap beat. In my opinion I would prefer this as a B-Side single to Co-Sign because it is perfect as an album track because it is transitional and feels like a filler song but in a good way. But maybe this will be on the album as a track I might just got to "Wait For It". ;) My Rating for this song is 7 out of 10.
Overall, this is a pretty good start for MOJO I think he could go very far if Co-Sign is promoted heavy it is a really good rap song as a lead song. This is just a sneak preview of what I think #MOJO2016 is all about and there probably is something even more exciting on this project to come. We just have to wait for it!
Thank you for reading!
Feel free to request a review on music or if you want me to talk about something else I am open to ideas.

Better Than Basic Review
Hello my fellow readers,
RetroGrav here with a review on the highly underrated album CD "Better Than Basic" from the group Eli$ha & JpJiggs. Eli$ha is also known as Elias Ellis who is the star of Teenhood as Alex Simpson and Youtuber. This hip-hop rap album was released in April of 2016.
 |
| Better Than Basic 2016 Itunes Album Cover. |
The first track is titled "Rich and Dangerous" It is kind of hip-hop trap song that is a slow jam opening to the album and has Eli$has vocals unedited it seems like and very raw. The opening version on Track one is decent however when another artist "Jewelslaya" joins in the song is improved. I think its a pretty decent opening track for the album with the short version however the duet version is way better. My rating for this song is 6 out of 10.
On the second track on the album titled "Better Than Basic" this is the anthem and theme song to the album in my opinion. The beat and groove of this song is one of the best beats ever it is some analog dub-synth type of trap beat. The lyrics for this song are sassy, confident and straight up in your face and I love it. When I first listened to this album this easily became my favourite track and gives a first good impression on Elias Ellis if you want to be left with a positive feeling, it sticks in your head, it truly defines music of this decade and will never be forgotten. My rating for this song is a 10 out of 10.
In the third track on the album titled "Wannabe" had a hip hop street music vibe being more quick and snappy with his lyrics. I believe this song was a single or a promotional single before the album came out something like that, it has many remixes I suggest the Rich Rich remix. If he was to make a music video out of this song I would pick that remix. My rating for this song is a 7 out of 10.
Then in the fourth track on the album titled "Do It Right" an intimidating trap rap song that gives you this "I am the best don't fuck with me" type of vibe. This is probably my favourite song on the album because it is so well composed and I could listen to this over and over again 100 times. The beat in the chorus is perfect with the lyrics and fast paced. I feel this should be in a rap musical or something. If anything I hope he would make this song a single and make a music video for this. I get an Iggy Azalea or Lady Gaga vocal influence from this track. My rating for this song is a 10 out of 10. Perfection. "Your A Mess Loser Compressed!
Another duet pops up on the album which is with "Jewelslaya" with her very raspy vocals performed in the fifth track "Ratchets Walk My Way". The song starts off with her rapping with Eli$ha then there is the chorus where it is a cute fast lullaby type of chorus "All The Ratchets Walk My Way". While it is cute and friendly it does get a bit irritating after a while where its a song that becomes too much. This is probably my least favourite song off the album. My rating for this song is a 3 out of 10.
The seventh track on the album "This Is Trap" is a very experimental song where you could tell Eli$ha wanted to just have some fun and rap his heart out. It is a very short track I don't know if I consider this an album track or interlude it sounds more something that is to transition the album into another part. My rating for this song is a 4 out of 10 as an album track, but 6 out of 10 if its an interlude.

My rating for this song is a 4 out of 10 as an album track, but 6 out of 10 if its an interlude.
On the eighth track on the album "Pay For This" is a street type hip-hop trap song and this is where the album becomes more versatile. All the tracks prior were about "being sassy" and "giving attitude to 'Basics'" by this point it becomes more connected with reality wether then social media and teen slang. Pay For This a very universal song that everyone can relate too and probably a stand out track from this album. My rating for this song is a 9 out of 10.
Then we have the ninth track "Attitude" a club dance hip-hop rap track where it is kind of to a funky beat reminds me of a Daft Punk meets Iggy Azelea. Attitude is bringing the sassy back however in a different style which doesn't get as repetitive musical wise, lyric wise maybe but this album is called "Better Than Basic" after all. My rating for this song is 8 out of 10.
Next track is the tenth one which is "Teach" where orchestral synthesizers get used within the album. This is the perfect closing song on the standard edition to this album because lyric wise it is saying "I am the master so you learned" type of message I get from this song. It is quite brilliant. My rating for this song is 8 out of 10.
Now onto the bonus tracks the 11th track "Overrated" where it becomes more intense and more experimental. This song makes me feel like I am in some trance or crazy dream and its perfect for a bad dream sequence on a show or something for a character to be running through a nightmare. This song is amazing it could be a single in my opinion too. Everything about this track is perfection in my opinion. Pure Perfection! For a track that is titled "Overrated" it is definitely underrated. My rating for this song is 10 out of 10.
And finally the 12th and final track on the album "Frosted" a fun chilled out upbeat rap song which is the perfection closing for deluxe. It is about Eli$ha and JpJiggs finding a new friend to hangout with who fits into his "league" which is the perfect close to the album. It is a type of track that is like "you finished the mission with success". My rating for this song is 7 out of 10.
Overall, to sum up the album it honestly is a pretty decent/average hip-hop rap album. I give it a 6 or 7 out of 10 in general. It is the start of Elias Ellis music career which I feel this was a sneak preview to something even better from humours I heard of Paradox coming out soon which we are all excited for just from the fabulous "Loving Me". I don't know the whole background behind this album but I heard this was released as a joke in my opinion it can be entertaining with the way Elias raps and what he's rapping about, but the music is really good and its cool that Elias Ellis is very diverse with his music. I think with his diversity he will go far to continue to regenerate himself after every album and name he goes through. Just like how other Drakoloid stars have developed musically. Another thing to note is I like how this rap album didn't have explicit lyrics and was friendly it is good for the younger audience at Drakoloid to listen. I highly suggest anyone who likes friendly fun comedic hip-hop and rap music to get this album.
Hope you bloggers enjoyed reading my second retro music review and please spread the word about my blog.
Sincerely,
RetroGrav

Drakoloid Psychedelic Smoking Vape Commericial Banned 2011 Vintage
Hello fellow Festivians,
Retrograv here today writing about something I managed to dig up especially since I have a large Drakoloid following on social media. The other day I found through another site a few unreleased Drakoloid commercials and one of them I found fascinating because it was advertising "electronic cigarette shop". Now Drakoloid is a kids/teen internet network that has kids and teen programming. This commercial was apparently made in a time when Drakoloid was going to be a teen based network I guess?
As I did my research on Drakoloid's extensive past, it is hard to find information on things that happened 5 years ago or longer because Drakoloid always changes and what they were in the past isn't what they are now. The shows were very different then such as Ride Roader being Drakoloid's most controversial show ever with many parent demanded fans wanting censors on the program when streamed. In 2011 in Drake Vegas mind seemed to be a fun colourful teen show that was experimental in so many ways. However it was also very vulgar with cartoon violence, coarse language that contained many innuendoes, even nudity at one point was shown on the show. A critically controversial episode was "Ride Explores The Inside" that was banned to be shown on Drakoloid by late 2012. It was an episode that was originally a dedication to The Beatles. Due to the very graphic scenery being based with Barry inside an rabbits body where Barry is in several X Rated areas, Not just that but getting high within the body as if he was on an acid trip, which lead to the music of "I Am The Walrus". This was a normal thing for Drakoloid to go through in its early years.
Now that Drakoloid is doing Psychedelic Summer, it still isn't as risque as some of there earlier content. The only content that gets controversy ever is ARTic, Rock The Basement and Teenhood with innuendoes in lines. Getting back to my point is that Drakoloid use to be a network where "anything goes and its ok for your kids to see that". I think releasing this commercial back then would of really proven that point further. It surprises me Drake Vegas is advertising a vape shop that is not for minors however I know many people who smoke who are a minor and always trying to get E-Cigarettes so maybe thats why this came about.. maybe Drake Vegas loves him some E-Cigarette himself (I mean look at Ride Roader it seemed like he was on something when making that show with Kemp Easton) maybe Drake wanted to try something different? who knows?
Retrograv here today writing about something I managed to dig up especially since I have a large Drakoloid following on social media. The other day I found through another site a few unreleased Drakoloid commercials and one of them I found fascinating because it was advertising "electronic cigarette shop". Now Drakoloid is a kids/teen internet network that has kids and teen programming. This commercial was apparently made in a time when Drakoloid was going to be a teen based network I guess?

Drakoloid stars of the future...
Hello my fellow followers,
Retrograv here, writing a blog all about what the future holds for Drakoloid. As I watching Drakoloid on the livestream tonight I noticed there has been so much change to come with a bunch of new shows I.E. Rock The Basement, High Schooled. While were still in the midst of Sarah Kellysen and Maria Mercado mania, I believe that were coming to a closure soon within the next year or two with both those actresses. There runs will soon be over like many other past Drakoloid stars I.E. Matt Parker, Trina White. They will soon be replaced by these upcoming new people.
One of the first new people who have been noted very well in the Drakoloid community to become known as the next "Sarah Kellysen/Maria Mercado" type (from what most people say) is Hazel Woodley. Hazel is a 17 year old girl from Seattle currently in her senior year of high school. She is an actress and singer. She currently stars in the Drakoloid continuing high school soap Teenhood as Stacey Martinez. Soon she will be the star of her own show Viral Jenneration which has been heavily advertised as ARTic 2.0. Drake Vegas seems to have high hopes for Hazel judging by twitter posts, blogs and much more. What makes Hazel likeable is that she is genuine, beautiful and organically talented. In my opinion Hazel is going to be her own type of person within the Drakoloid community and not a replica of the past. I hope she makes a music career with many albums that I would love to review out of Drakoloid along with Viral Jenneration Soundtracks from what has been said around. In a few years Hazel Woodley may become the most popular Drakoloid star of all time.
Another new person who has been highly noticed recently in the Drakoloid world is Elias Ellis. Elias is from Canada that same place where Drake Vegas is located. He is a singer-song-writer, actor and I believe producer who is currently one of the big stars in the Drakoloid continuing high school drama Teenhood as Alex Simpson. Now the Drakoloid community hasn't developed much on its male dominate shows or stars I.E. House Of Adopted Adam, Long Lost. Drake Vegas seems to really enjoy Elias on Teenhood from what I know and from what I have heard. I wonder if in the future he will get a show where he is the complete lead star. I think Elias has such a great work ethic and drive when it comes to doing Teenhood, the videos on his youtube channel and his music. There seems to be passion within his work which makes it enjoyable.
Alejandra Deleon is a Drakoloid star who just recently appeared on the scene and seems to becoming very popular. She has a charm, Witt and attitude in all her characters that she plays that is just really hilarious especially with that beautiful to the bone accent. The show she currently is on is Rock The Basement where she is a true scene stealer for sure. She also guest starred on ARTic recently as a drunk girl and as a nice girl playing two roles in one? Drake Vegas must think she is talented then. Alejandra is a youtuber who has these amazing videos that I love watching she is sweet, genuine and funny which I think will take her everywhere. I hope one day Alejandra is the complete lead star of a Drakoloid Show.
Aidan Brown is one of the younger Drakoloid stars who is only 13 years old. He already is in two Drakoloid shows one is Teenhood as the little younger brother of Miranda "Simon Thomas". He also portrays Austin Harrison in the comedy show House Of Adopted Adam. It is amazing at his age that he already has two shows where he is a main role. I wonder if one day he will get his own show where he is the lead star. When someone is talented at a young age they end up becoming superstars later on. Drakoloid never had someone as young as him on any of his shows.
Madison Desiato plays one of Drakoloid's most known villains Britney McQueen on the jaw dropping teen soap Teenhood. I think Madi has insane talent that it gives me feels every time I watch an episode of Teenhood with her in it. She pulls a wicked Britney into the light in this show. Drake Vegas definitely agrees with us fans on this. I feel she will get her own show one day from Drake Vegas because talent like that doesn't come up everyday. As well Madi knows how to sing her covers on youtube are stunning. Madi is from Australia which makes her cooler then a koala.
Nicholas Merchant is one creative and talented person that is bringing more creativity and diversity to Drakoloid especially with his new show High Schooled. While Rock The Basement pretty much is a sketch show made on the spot and is one of the first Drakoloid variety shows. High Schooled is a show that is scripted just like ARTic, House Of Adopted Adam but it has the actors all acting in the scene. This hasn't been done since Diaries Of Alice's Bedroom early seasons or shows like After School, The Western Cave from the early Drakoloid days. Nicholas Merchant may be a talent that is kept with Drakoloid for a long time to produce content and to act in roles on other Drakoloid shows.

These are just my own predictions on who the next big Drakoloid stars will be.. I could be completely wrong on this but I think that most of these people are who Drake Vegas see's to have a future with his company in a big way. I already think Rock The Basement is a fabulous show hopefully I will feel the same about Viral Jenneration, High Schooled, Discovery Of Down Under.
I will be trying to write more blogs soon I am choosing to do another album review this time either on Maria Mercado's Princess or Elias Ellis Better Than Basic?
