RIP Prince
BREAKING: Publicist: Pop music superstar Prince has died at his home in suburban Minneapolis.
— The Associated Press (@AP) April 21, 2016
The Rock Soul R&B Funk Pop music world was rocked to its mantle and core today as news of the passing of a legend spread: The Purple Rocker, Prince, suddenly left this earthly plane today. Details are still being revealed, and we certainly need the time to process the information and our feelings; but we have the gist. We know, sadly, the mourning can begin.
Only now can we truly know what it will be like to hear ‘that’ Prince song/album/collection, knowing that he is no longer with us. At least with Prince… He knew… he HAD to know… that he was and will forever be loved & admired by millions; and acclaimed at every strata of the industry – casual listener to sternest critic. Hit the jump to see sentiments to that effect expressed across the Interwebs honoring and bidding farewell to the 57-year-old Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame performer.
Prince Rogers Nelson of Minneapolis, Minnesota. Born to make music, make a ruckus, and make history. What a life! You did that and lived that, Sire. Thank you blessing and bringing us along all these years. And now Your Royal Badness, rest in peace.

Benny Benassi – “Paradise” feat. Chris Brown (Video)
“Paradise” is that new-new extra-danceable music. Need proof? Well, since Chris Brown is already featuring, perhaps Benny Benassi can convince him to step through a move or two in the above video.

Rihanna is that "Fun Girl" you used to kick it with. You may or may not marry her but she's always fun. That type of vibe

Some of these new pop songs are really just reggae records without the patois. Rihanna "Work… Justin Bieber – "I'm Sorry", etc etc

Dam-Funk Digs Into His Crates To Pull Off A ‘Boiler Room’ Party Mix (Video)
Funk, boogie, breaks… LPs and 45s… Dam-Funk is taking us on a near hour-and-a-half musical genre journey. With very little intro (by a cute little slimmie), we get right into the needle-dropping. What is pretty much an intimate listening party doesn’t stop until the end; only pausing for commentary or spontaneous crooning. Check out the video above. Nice!
Miguel – “waves” (Video)
We regret to inform all haters that Miguel is still hard at work; still falling through sets collecting checks, handshakes, hugs and kisses from lovelies (maybe even your misses). Why not just hop on the bandwagon and ride with the “Wildheart” on yet another jam from the LP? This visual release for “waves” would be a perfect opportunity.
DJ Yogi – “The Money Mix” (Mixtape)
Mix about records that talk about money. Listen to everyone’s different feelings…
– DJ Yogi
Mannnn, shout to the homie DJ Yogi for this “The Money Mix.” Yogi… YOU are a bad bear!! Hear and enjoy this money-themed mix in the stream below. All this money talk for the FREE. Shiiiid, y’all need to recognize a blessing when you hear it!
You’re welcome.

The Foreign Exchange – “Body” (Video)
Got the hookup. Like we needed another reason to get with that “Tales From The Land Of Milk And Honey” project by Foreign Exchange (out now). Phonte and Nicolay keep it pushing, only stopping long enough to drop a music video for their “Body†single. Watch above (the music, merged with the visual, and all that “Body†in there. Ah yes, Eye Candy)!
Here’s your hookup: Take this smoothed out jawn to your baby, and say, “Let’s forget the club this weekend and just chill… No ‘Netflix and’ nuthin’… just you and me.” Then click play on this jawn. And yooooo… you’re welcome.

I know I’m some sh!t, and I’m cool with it. You can’t tell me sh!t…

Well damn. Yeah. This is kinda dope. Gotta give Okayplayer their credit for the find. And gotta give the people what they want; what they need. And this “Ridin’ Round†jawn, refreshed by DJ Dahi, with all kinds of super-sweet, super-thick Colombian Honey in the video… we all NEED this in our lives. So, here you go.
And you’re welcome.

Justin Bieber – “What Do You Mean?” (Video)
Yep, been a minute since Justin Bieber has put out music. And “What Do You Mean?” is obviously a takeover-the-world track… the dance world, with world music. Think it’ll be a hit? If so, there’re about a hundred million video viewers who already agree with you.
I'm just hearing this Justin Bieber song "What Do You Mean" for the first time. Hate on that dude all you want but Yo that song is dope.

Elle Pierre – “Give It Up†(Prod. By GTW) [Video]
Lynwood’s (California, USA) singing/songwriting sista Elle Pierre draws from a musical background in gospel, jazz and soul… and nostalgic ’90s music… and Erykah Badu, Marsha Ambrosius, Janet Jackson, Faith Evans… Well, yeah, such musical diversity is what she is from and what she brought to New York and to her journey through the music landscape. So, now you have some insight on this Afro-House ditty “Give It Up†(produced by GTW) she has this video out for. Cool, right? Enjoy.
Aaliyah – “Rock The Boat” (TOKiMONSTA Remix)
