Erykah Badu – “Hotline Bling” (But U Caint Use My Phone Remix)
October 3, 2015
Too dope! This is Erykah “She Ill” Badu doing her damn thing retouching the Drake jawn and making it her own. Check out Badu’s “But U Caint Use My Phone” remix to “Hotline Bling” – off the forthcoming mixtape “But U Caint Use My Phone.”
(And she credited 7 Benjamin – Badu’s and Andre 3000‘s son – as a cowriter…aaawwww.)

NPR: “Tiny Desk Concerts†Series Welcomes “The Internet” (Video)
September 30, 2015
Straight outta Los Angeles, and Odd Future, The Internet – featuring founding members Syd The Kid (vocals/production) and Matt Martians (keys/ production), as well as Pat Paige (bass), Jameel Bruner (keys) and Chris Smith (drums) – falls through NPR to do a “Tiny Desk Concert.†The kind of Alternative that The Internet brings to your ears… well… it’s hard to describe. Good thing you have the above video to watch (and the “Ego Death” album link, via earlier post on here, to listen to).
Here’s an attempt at description: Think R&B’d out Hip-Hop swagger meeting homegrown Neo-Soul with a 21st century twist.
Yep. That’s the best description for it. And nope, that doesn’t quite cover it. But yep, you will enjoy it… perhaps enough to cop the album here.

Miguel Gives A Mini-Concert To Raise Awareness And Help Poor Working Class Families (Video)
September 29, 2015
This is what art is for: touching the lives of people where they live. Miguel, doing so sharing his music and a personal backstory to connect, gave a private mini-concert in partnership with the Make Room group (www.MakeRoomUSA.org). About 35 lives will never be the same. People packed into a small home outside Detroit (Michigan, USA), singing, clapping and getting a little chocked up; while Miguel uses his gift and platform as a performing artist to raise awareness of working single parents struggling to keep roofs over their families’ heads.
Start watching above as Miguel does “Coffee.” Then check out “What’s Normal Anyway” and “Adorn” after the jump to round out the set.

Grammy Winner D’Angelo Talks With Tavis Smiley About “Black Messiah” And More (Video)
September 25, 2015
Come to think of it: Was there ‘Neo-Soul’Â music before D’Angelo? Not much, if any. He was a founding father of the genre, so to speak. From the son of a Baptist preacher, heavily influenced by church music, to making that funky stuff that grew from steeping in all that Stevie Wonder, George Clinton, James Brown, and Prince growing up. Then he got ‘extra-grown’ for the ladies with that “Untitled (How Does It Feel)” song and video. That earned him a Grammy (Best Male R&B Vocal Performance).
And then…nothing…for like over 10 years.
Now D’Angelo is back with his latest project, “Black Messiah.” And here he is talking to Tavis about it and more. Hey, it took two episodes to convey the convo. Keep watching after the jump.

Kriswontwo – “Elevations” feat. Georgia Anne Muldrow x Oh No x El Da Sensei / “Life Force” feat. Stacy Epps
September 19, 2015
So…Copenhagen (Denmark) produced this baby boy who would grow to be a dope producer Kriswontwo would drop a double-single bundle, featuring some of our fav artists, along with a full-length album “Ceremoni” this week.
Okay, we skipped a bunch of steps.
But check out his double-single bundle and album. For the Hip-Hop heads, there’s “Elevations”… Neo Soul/R&B enthusiasts should listen to “Life Force” ASAP. Make no mistake though, both of these tracks are tight.

GoldLink – “Dance On Me” (Video)
September 16, 2015
Heard GoldLink toned down his “Dance On Me” video to PG because his mom liked the song, but felt it was too raunchy. Awwww…
(And by awww, we mean ‘damn, think of how this video could have turned out’ hahaaa!)
It’s cool though. Great concept we can all get into. And yeah, next day he’d probably get fired… but if you can’t beat ’em… join their dope party! Plus… the girl was hella cute. Party on, Gold. Single out now (linked below)

My favorite song from the young L.A. singer Tinashe gets a video. Dope. “Bet” on it. Also get a bonus vid from the album “Aquarius” – “Feels Like Vegas” – in there.
CeeLo Green – “Sign Of The Times” (Video)
September 1, 2015
I swear sometimes I hear a ghost in the radio… I’m not crazy…
– CeeLo Green
Short song with a nice easy listening vibe. Excellent use of the old school ‘Taxi’ TV show theme (“Angela” by Bob James). It’ll take several listens to pull the full meaning of what CeeLo is trying to tell us in this one; but sometimes music that makes us stop and take stock is more than good enough. Plus, there is more on the way…
“Sign of the Times” is off of CeeLo’s new album “Heart Blanche†– arriving worldwide on Friday, November 13th
– CeeLo Green
The YouTube embedded audio is ready for playing above, and you can follow the link below to cop this single already.
