September 1, 2015
On this project, Rap&B maestro J Evan is trying ‘to reflect creativity and outside of the box thinking in recent video releases.’ So, shot the visuals on a cell phone. This one was actually edited in real time on his iPhone as it was filmed. This is for “Signals” off “The Art Form Of Whatever” (out now, linked below). Download that below for FREE.

Everett Whiteside aka RunWRC – “45 Forty-Fives” (Mixtape)
August 30, 2015
Ohhhh! My bredren from waaay back! This one put me on a flashback to us chilling at the station Thursday into Friday, then riding out in The Couch (my beige beater ’85 Caprice Classic), toting crates, and him rocking gigs Friday into Saturday and beyond! Memories. Good to hear DJ Soul (ha, going with the throwback handle) still doing the damn the right damn way… just like did when he was running the WVUA-FM Wide World Of Hip-Hop back in the guts of the Golden Era. Soul sent me a CD y’all. Fortunately, he included a link to the mix online, so he went new school enough for me to share with y’all. Up with the tech, but still…
45 Forty-Five Records mixed on two turntables; No Serato and no special edition remixes; Extended version of this mix coming soon
– RunWRC
Thank you, DJ Soul (aka Everett Whiteside aka RunWRC) my University of Alabama schoolmate, for the blessing of “45 Forty-Fives.” And Happy Belated Birthday homie!!
(Click play and enjoy the stream above, and ooh’s and aah’s you get from learning where some classic Hip-Hop samples came from… and from memories of actually playing some of these jams on tapes and vinyl, if you were around back then. And keep reading for more great stuff after the jump.)

R&B: Tiara Thomas – “Mary Jane” (Prod. By Ryan Ryghteous Tedder) [Video]
August 29, 2015
Let’s review the setting for the perfect Tiara Thomas music video for “Mary Jane” (produced by Ryan Ryghteous Tedder). Hazed out cluttered up basement hangout with the gaming console and low lighting and such. Dudes goofing about ‘Half Baked’ style, about to dig in and light up… and on the tube, Tiara Thomas… infomercializing the hell out of some ‘Magic Spray’… waitwhat???
EXACTLY! Weed-head situation giving rise to a WTF moment. Setting set. Now, the video can begin! Watch above. You can cop the “Up In Smoke” EP by following the link below if you like.

R&B Legend “Marvin Gaye” Once Tried Out For The Detroit Lions (Video)
August 24, 2015
Stop us if you’ve heard this one: 1968 Detroit Lions standout (and eventual NFL Hall-Of-Famer) Lem Barney was out playing golf near R&B great Marvin Gaye’s house and was like ‘why not get his address and stop by and meet Marvin?’
No?
Well, we hadn’t heard of such either… or that Gaye (a sports fanatic as much as a Motown music phenom) had ambitions for the gridiron… until this ESPN segment. Wow! Watch above.

R&B: SWV – “Ain’t No Man”
August 10, 2015
Yep, SWV is back… thick and sexy (nice cover pic)… and soulful as ever. Smoothest of the smooth R&B over that warm deep bass. “Ain’t No Man” gives credit to that ‘good man’ out there – nothing like him.
James Fauntleroy – “Magic” (Prod. By Malay)
August 9, 2015
A unique sound to this track, produced by Malay, to say the least. Hard to put in a category. As an alternative to most of the R&B that we’ve posted for James Fauntleroy before, let’s tag it Alternative R&B and get to listening to “Magic”…’cause it has a nice sound to it.
for the cold summer.
from the upcoming motion album 1984.

Janet Jackson – “No Sleeep” feat. J. Cole (Video)
July 24, 2015
It didn’t take long for the legendary Janet Jackson to hit us with a brand new video for her new single “No Sleeep.” There’s other ladies in the game doing it big in the pop world, but you gotta make room for one of the Queen’s of this game to make her return. Great choice of artist to include on this official remix by bringing J. Cole along for the ride as well. Dope! ‘Don’t Sleeep.’
