DJ Neil Armstrong – “Mi Cheri Amour” (Remix)
DJ Neil Armstrong putting some Hip-Hop sense and sensibility to Stevie Wonder‘s hit “My Cheri Amour.†Listen. Hear that? That’s “The Bridge” from MC Shan in there. And hear that drop in after that? That’s “Grindin†from The Clipse in there, too. With Steveland’s classic track playing all along. Blend-ing (say it like Pharrell would…no one will blame you)!
“In honor of Stevie Wonder, from the mixtape Bittersweeet.”
– DJ Neil Armstrong

R&B/Soul: Chrisette Michele – “Love In The Afternoon” featuring Nello Luchi (Produced By Musiq) [Video]
Two things we know you’ll love about this “Love In The Afternoon” video: Chrisette and more Chrisette. The Konee Rok-directed visuals have her going through some MJ-Black-Or-White type changes, getting more and more sexy and the eyes getting more ‘bedroomy’ as the song progresses. Like she sings, ‘Let her have her way’ with you in the afternoon. You won’t be disappointed. Oh yeah, Musiq is good with the track, and the flows by Nello Luchi…nice. But watch for nothing but hot Chrisette Michele; because that’s what you’ll get. The single is off the “Aubrey Hepburn: An Audiovisual Presentation” mixtape Michele has out for the FREE.99 (linked below).

CyHi The Prynce – “Is It Me” featuring Tate DuMonde and Crystal Renee [Video]
CyHi The Prynce is really pushing the “My Hystori” mixtape project. G.O.O.D. Music without a doubt, so we are always glad to post another instant classic from the man. The audio and visual delivery of “Is It Me” (featuring Tate DuMonde and Crystal Renee) are hella nice.

Cookin Soul x Nas – “Soulmatic” (Mixtape)
Cookin Soul does justice to the music it touches. But the rework of this Nas holy grail…mind-blowing!
In 2014, 20 years after its release, “Illmatic” is still considered as arguably the best hip-hop album of all times. Our intention when creating “Soulmatic” was not to just remix “Illmatic” album as such. Actually “Soulmatic” only contains 4 remixes from the original album… Also we have added a number of musical skits including comments, feelings and experiences from those who created the original album.
The Cookin Soul way to get the listener closer to that particular state of mind that led to the creation of such a classic.

Mr. Sonny James (aka DJ Statik) – “Days Of Gray” [Mixtape]
Of course, our posting something means we think it is good and/or relevant… It’s an endorsement. And we don’t endorse just anything. But this endorsement of “Days Of Gray” – a mix by Mr. Sonny James – should be taken with a bit more weight because of who else says so. Turns out that Mr. Sonny James (aka DJ Statik) is #6 on DJ Jazzy Jeff’s “Your Favorite DJ’s Favorite Deejays” list! For real. You may start partying, knowing that Jeff (and JayForce.com) approves.

CyHi The Prynce – “3:16” (Produced By M16) [Video]
“This rap bread sweeter than a honey bun… f#ck a b!tch, I’d rather see this money come.”
– CyHi The Prince
Producer M16 laying out another track on the “Black Hystori Project” mixtape for CyHi to run over. Done. This “3:16” is perfection in the form of bars… Ear candy. Visuals don’t really feature eye candy, but dope nonetheless. Check the vid and verses. A wholly unholy spiritual experience.

DJ Rahdu – “Honey Molasses: Jill Scott Remixes and Covers” (Mixtape)
A nice bunch of covers and conversions of Jill Scott jawns, curated and compiled by the soul selector DJ Rahdu. This “Honey Molasses” is ‘soundtrack of Spring’ indeed!
Jill Scott made a comment during her performance on VH1’s Storytellers about her music selection process that stuck with me – She said that even without her, the music has to have a story of it’s own for her to write to it. Apparently she picks them well; Jill has the uncanny ability to connect to numerous demographics, an uncommon skill in today’s stratified musical climate. “Honey Molasses” is a compilation of the artists that feel that Jill’s songs could somehow help tell their story.
