Lex Boogie x Goldi Gold – “Sharks In The Golden Pond” (EP)
March 26, 2013
I had dope producer Lex Boogie & the outstanding visual artist Goldi Gold to speak on their collaborative instrumental project “Sharks In The Golden Pond” last Saturday during The Beatz & Lyrics Show. We’ll have audio of that interview posted very soon, but listen, download, & check out a brief synopsis of the project below….
“Conceptually the project can best be described as a ‘visual instrumental’. Lex Boogie from the Bronx, known for his soulfully, raw, Boom bap, , drum kicks and snares hails from his name sake, the boogie down Bronx. Artist Goldi gold best known for his staple life like, one of a kind graphic illustrations hails from New Jersey. When the two got together in Atlanta they immediately saw the value in each others work and shared a similar work ethic. The project maybe the perfect instrument to take you from the freeze of this past winter to the unpredictability of the Spring. Collaboratively this project is symbolic to the drive and vision of these two talented Hip Hop heads.”

Tall Black Guy – “Make Life Better” (Night’s Over Egypt Re-Blap Up)
March 14, 2013
Detroit producer Tall Black Guy has consistently been killing it with his souful productions & bounce worthy remixes. This time around he takes The Jones Girls R&B classic “Nights Over Egypt” & chefs it up differently with his own production spices & serves the fans his very own ‘Night’s Over Egypt Re-Blap Up’ remix of sorts. Straight vibin’ to this fiyah right here. I’ve played this joint about 5 times in a row after initially hearing it. Dopeness…

Phil Beaudreau – “This Is Why” feat. Dawaun Parker
February 11, 2013
This is on some old soul and jazz with a little boom bap for the rap. Not gonna fret over what to call it as far as the genre. Phil Beaudreau’s “This Is Why” (featuring Dawaun Parker) is good music. That’s what it is. And check the lyrics:
And it’s got a message. This is why it’s dope.

R&B/Jazz: Freddie Joachim – “Morning Calm”
December 17, 2012
I’m a big fan of Freddie Joachim’s work & he consistently keeps the quality coming. I can listen to his soulful & jazzy soundscapes for months & never get tired of them. That’s the definition of timeless. His latest project “Fiberglass Kisses” is out now & my favorite song “Keep Lovin” featuring North Carolina songstress Carlitta Durand stays on repeat in my itunes. This new joint right here he released called “Morning Calm” is just that….relaxing. Had this one on repeat several times after I first listened to it & felt I’d share it with y’all below. Trust me…it’s perfect.

KIDA – “Blues 101” (Prod. By Smokey Beatz)
November 6, 2012
Deep stuff from Los Angeles emcee KIDA on “Blues 101.” The music and the message are on point with “the blues” for certain. KIDA’s story starts mellow, as he is telling his son a story. Come to find out, KIDA was telling the story was of the setup and murder of his dad… by his dad’s homie. Don’t let the smooth beat fool you. This “Blues 101” is a dark tale. Listen…again and again.

John Robinson x PVD – “Miles & Trane”
October 8, 2012
Veteran emcee John Robinson (aka Lil Sci of Scienz of Life) and beatman PVD have been rocking crowds together for years. On this track, PVD’s jazz-influenced breaks and Robinson’s intelligent wordplay combine for a sure-fire hit… and a great limited-edition 45 rpm 7″ record! “Miles & Trane” not only pays homage to two of the greats (Miles Davis and John Coltrane, pictured above), it uniquely reps real Hip-Hop in a way that is so needed right now! Enjoy.
