Sunni Colón – “Little Things” (Prod. By Kaytranada)
October 26, 2017
Dope! That boom bap slap start, with that slight dirtied-up crackle in the track… might have you ready to click off… but then you hear the jazzy vocals come in incredibly to tie the whole thing down! Nah, you aren’t going anywhere. Turns out all the elements contribute to the enjoyment of this. All those things, all those “Little Things”… matter.

Dope! It’s like they took a bit of the darkness out of that “Animals” video and put the energy into a new jawn (featuring TDE sexy sizzler SZA). This is the video for Maroon 5’s “What Lovers Do.”
(And SZA in that naughty nurse getup through… HAPPY HALLOWEEN!)
Jorja Smith – “On My Mind” (Prod. By Preditah) [Video]
September 12, 2017
Jorja Smith & Preditah with some UK club jamming dance tunes. Jorja’s gotta tell you about what’s “On My Mind” (um… her mind). Letting it ooze out over the Preditah-produced groove, with soul, and some bop. Nice stuff.
But let her friends tell it: It’s a bit too singy. *Sigh* Haters. Baahahaaa!
Dance: Towkio – “Hot Shit” (Video)
September 5, 2017
Um, Towkio… What is the Jim Jones is this?? Hahaa! Talk about a dance trance club track. More like an on-beat track for a cult club off the beaten track. Eat your oatmeal and let’s get into this “Hot Shit” here.

World Music/R&B: Switt – “Aléa Mba” (Video)
August 29, 2017
Oh, say “Aléa Mba” like ‘Ollie-Um-Bye-Yay.’ So much flavor put down by Switt in his official video for the single off his “Pieces Of Me” project (out now).
“Aléa Mba” depicts a young man who happily ends up proposing to his longtime girlfriend. On this one, Switt uses his soulful voice to tackle the issue of commitment in our modern day relationships.
– Stunnas Group
Learn more about Switt after the jump; after you click play a few times. Great stuff!
(Oh, and a quick Google of the phrase “Alea Mba” revealed a translation: “Hold me down.” Now, click play again.)
Dance: Niteshifters – “Huge Disco” (Album)
August 23, 2017
It pays to clean out the ol’ inbox… noted. Found email about this funky disco disc (okay, digital album) from Niteshifters in there. It’s called “Huge Disco”… kinda straight forwarded but hella good. I got that Daft Punk “Lose Yourself To Dance” feel from it. See what you feel about it. Listen to the sampler below.
DJ Rasta Root – “One Musicfest 2017 Official Mix” (Mixtape)
August 21, 2017
The homie Rasta Roooot! Dude went across the spectrum, up & down the music levels, and swept the corners out the club for this mix! J.I.D. to Jill Scott… with some Thundercat, Kaytranada, Syd, Tank And The Bangas, Too $hort, and even Migos in here. Definitely a trip. A hip trip cued up for you to enjoy.

Score for this one! If you were alive when the “House Party” movie came out, you KNOW that “I smell… I SMELL… PU**Y” line. Classic cinema right there. Check out the cats that made it [in]famous speaking on it today.

August 14, 2017
Just being creative and decided to do something the ladies might enjoy.
Reeeespect to Lex Boogie From The Bronx for always keeping up looped in with exclusives like this. Nice airy chant style music to this RiRi mix. Vibe, dance, whatever to this.

R&B: Ne-Yo – “Another Love Song†(Video)
August 4, 2017
Dope visuals for that single “Another Love Song†from Ne-Yo that we posted a while back. Incredible Eye Candies and dance moves in this. Cameo or two. Fun to watch.
(His date plays the ‘pretty AND petty’ perfectly in this, too. Did you take one of my berries? Hahaaa!)
Ish Sankara – “Eddie Murphy” (Video)
July 29, 2017
I CANNOT BELIEVE IT! It is YOU!
Yeah, an alt #ComingToAmerica vibe for certain. And Ish Sankara is going Prince Hakeem on us in this video. Haha! This “Eddie Murphy” is pretty cool. And while iTunes categorizes it as ‘rap’ music. Get into more of a ‘world music’ state of mind to really enjoy this jawn. Then press play above.

Up And Coming Dancer/Choreographer ShirJuanda ‘Bounce’ Woodson Debuts Her HoverKicks Ad (Video)
July 18, 2017
Wow! Have you been keeping up with ShirJuanda ‘Bounce’ Woodson? So beautiful. So talented. And her grind… how can someone start from the bottom, get it out the mud, and look so clean every step of the way? I will post a couple more vids (including a behind-the-scenes for the one above) after the jump to initiate those who don’t know and allow those who do to celebrate. Watch and realize that HoverKicks is just now recognizing what many already know… Bounce is the BUSINESS!
After creating her viral ’90s video to Boyz 2 Men’s hit “Motown Philly,” Bounce was discovered by Hoverkicks and asked to create their newest commercial for their famous light-up shoes line!!!
– HoverKicks
I feel very fortunate to have gotten in on her ‘friend wave’ before she can accept no more. We’ll hear more from Bounce to be sure. But for now, let’s salute to her success for just a sec.
(Time’s up! Bounce is already on the move to the next project. Trust.)

June 29, 2017
So, Calvin Harris enlisted Pharrell ‘Maker Of Happy’ Williams, Katy ‘Always Happy’ Perry, and Big ‘Happiest Emcee From Detroit’ Sean to give us the “Feels”… or in the case of the clip embedded above… a preview of the song. Technically, it’s a preview of an album preview of the “Funk Wav Bounces Vol. 1” (out on iTunes tomorrow).

DeJ Loaf – “No Fear”
June 27, 2017
Really feeling this. Nice bop to it making it a dance track for those who got moves for the groove, but it also sounds good for a sunny day ride out. Just in time for summer, Dej Loaf is saying ‘Try Me’ once again… but a bit softer. Have “No Fear” though, because the edgy sensuality vibe you dig is still there. And the single is out there now; on iTunes.
(Plus that pic is kinda cute.)
Washed Out – “Hard To Say Goodbye”
June 19, 2017
Washed Out. I love their music & their sound! Great to see new music from them because I’ve been playing “Feel It All Around” a lot lately as if it had just come out. You can pre-order the album (“Mister Mellow”) that will be coming out with this “Hard To Say Goodbye” song on it before the June 30th release via the link.

French Montana – “Unforgettable” feat. Swae Lee (Video)
June 15, 2017
French Montana is like a new schooler who reaches back to get it “All The Way Up” with Golden Era greats like Fat Joe and Nas, and do some joints with other new schoolers that might be palatable to 90’s heads (so we can nod to some of the music the kids like today). That “Lockjaw” gave me a look at Kodak Black I might not otherwise have taken. This “Unforgettable”… Okay, Swae Lee. I see you. Might go try some more of your Rae Sremmurd music on the strength of this. Respect.
Good on you, Montana. Trying to keep the generations of the Hip-Hop Nation connected. Like LinkedIn for rappers or something. Ha!
Also, the feel is similar to “Lockjaw”… that ‘the hood is the hood wherever you live’ worldwide feel.
