Erykah Badu – “Hello” feat. Andre 3000
November 27, 2015
The heat! Erykah and he ex, Andre 3K, can still bring it on a track. Exhibit A: “Hello” is embedded below. Tried to find an active link to the “But You Caint Use My Phone” mixtape on which this appears; but it has been snatched from EVERYWHERE… including iTunes for some reason. Keep an eye/ear open for it though. Worth it.
(Another ex, the “Exhibit C” emcee Jay Electronica, also features on the mixtape. Seems like they all remain cool. Good.)

Miguel – “waves” (Video)
November 17, 2015
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.

The Foreign Exchange – “Body” (Video)
November 11, 2015
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.

There it is. Chris Breeze for the ladies; dropping an unveiled, unabashed I’m-coming-to-get-you-NOW song. Fellas, you have been there; wanting to take you your lady there, but she’s gotta get up early… or worked late or…
SHHHHH… Ladies, your man is trying to hit you off in that way that GUARANTEES both of y’all DEEP sleep! Just hold on. Play this “Sex You Back To Sleep” and let Chris tell you how good it’s gonna be.
Alternative/R&B: A.Chal – “Vibe W/U” (Prod. By 11LIT3S)
November 5, 2015
Niiiice. Some mellow bop for you to vibe to. As the song suggests though, you ought to get someone you can play with like grown folks play. Sultry dance track. Get close and tell her, I’m just trying to “Vibe With You” baby.
Post Malone – “White Iverson” (Video)
November 3, 2015
I like that "White Iverson" song…was cruising from San Diego to L.A. on 1 stretch of highway & it was the perfect soundtrack @ that moment
— Jay Force (@Jayforce) October 30, 2015
I think we are definitely in the era of "Rap Singers". We used to say that back in the day but these days we're literally in it.
— Jay Force (@Jayforce) October 30, 2015
Sometimes being present at a certain place & time will make you really dig a song. I had heard the song before & didn’t know who sung it months earlier. Dope visuals too. Check the Rick Ross remix after the jump below….

There’s a feature from Chance The Rapper you can hear on the full stream available on Spotify (linked below), but check out a small sample in the stream embedded above. Link to cop on iTunes below.

The Internet – “Get Away” (Video)
October 16, 2015
Haaaa! Syd’s gonna let her ladies drive her damn crazy. Naaah, never that (hopefully); just blow smoke and chill in the cloud. Sure, but how is it that her and the band (The Internet always got each other) are in this video WILDIN’ to what seems to be a mellow trance song experience. Dunno, but the end result is pretty good. Check out the visuals above and the link to an earlier post to get hits like “Get Away” on their latest project “Ego Death” (out now).
Drake – “Hotline Bling” (Vashtie Concept Video)
October 13, 2015
Must be something about this “Hotline Bling” that Drake dropped makes folks want to do something with it, too. Erykah Badu did a li’l some’n some’n to the audio and we posted that on here. Now Vashtie steps up to video-ize the music as he visualizes it going down. Check that out above.
Vinyl Destination | “This Is Life†With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
October 13, 2015
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the fellas a half-world away. Hong Kong, hit some shops, get some sneaks, rock the spot. Then to Melbourne: Hop a plane and do it again (well, first time for Dayne Jordan but still). Yeah, just another Vinyl Destination episode.
DJ Jazzy Jeff and the Vinyl Destination crew are in Hong Kong. No visit to Hong Kong is complete without a trip to the renowned Sneaker Street. DJ Ferno and Dayne Jordan can’t believe their eyes as they peruse the shops in amazement. After the show, Dayne gets a chance to connect with fans old and new. Next up is Sydney, Australia where things get heated for Jeff at the hotel and the show. Later, Steve takes time to reflect on his experiences while roaming the streets of Melbourne.
Luxurious life of globetrotters. Oh look, hot Mickey D’s. Awesome. And hotter hotel rooms. Super awesome. These ‘awesomes’ are sarcastic… just to clarify). Still good times. Watch.

RB: SWV – “Ain’t No Man” (Video)
October 7, 2015
Proper treatment given for the visuals SWV dropped to accompany the single (which we posted earlier here). “Ain’t No Man” is good music. Good visuals. Wish it featured more of the ladies; but they are giving respect to the men in the song. Fair trade.
Hit the link for the single via earlier post.
Jared Evan – “Sadie” feat. MAX (Video)
October 7, 2015
Mr. Rap&B Jared Evan leaks this Hip-Hop lullaby to his little lady love. Warning: Cuteness overload above in the Google Hangout. I remember Jared promising to go way more low-tech with his video production going forward. Guess this visual is him making good on that promise. Upside is that the song gets front-and-center focus. Check out the vid above, and feel free to pick up the FREE download of “Sadie” (featuring MAX) linked below.
