Jidenna – “Classic Man” (Remix) feat. Kendrick Lamar [Video]
July 21, 2015
Ha! Get loose on ’em, Jidenna. This “Classic Man” remix – with Kendrick Lamar on it – nice. The visuals – very nice. Especially with the lovely Janelle Monae tucked in there. They’ve teamed up before (check out “Yoga”). You can catch a good amount of Jidenna’s work, including this jawn, on the “Wondaland Presents: The Eephus” EP (due out August 21, 2015).

R&B: Victoria Monet – “Backyard” (Video)
July 20, 2015
Wooooo, damn if this ain’t Hip-Hop (complete with boom bap, spray cans) smoothed out on some sexy R&B. Even though she has “Nightmares & Lullabies: Act II†out now, you’ve gotta be happy she dug back into the “Act I” to make drop a visual for this gem, “Backyard.”

Very soothing. Playing this let your mind, heart and soul go on that needed trek away from here…soaring. Maybe Major Myjah let “Trouble” go… to let you let your troubles go. For a little while. Sounds good.

Drake Speaks The Truth In His ‘Obey Your Thirst’ Documentary (Video)
June 24, 2015
I agree with Drake in many of the points he made in this new Fader mini-documentary. I’ve given advice to artists all the time about similar things as to what’s said in this interview. Most don’t listen which is probably why they aren’t as successful as they’d like to be on their OWN terms. Stay focused.
“Coming up in Toronto, people told Drake to move to New York if he was serious about making it. Instead, he stayed where he was and made history by proving that if you’re a truly multi-layered artist, you can make it from anywhere. “Do it the way I did it,” he says in the above Obey Your Thirst documentary. “Do it from where you’re at. If you have the music, that’s all it takes.”
Now, at the top of his game, Drake says he competes not with established legends or other top-sellers, but with the countless kids itching to take his spot. Now that hip-hop’s playing field is more open than ever before, Drake knows
there are countless kids itching to take his spot. Those up-and-comers are now his competition, not any established rapper. “That’s how I try to keep pushing this forward,†he says. “Just to let that kid know that I’m not done yet.â€
R&B/Soul: Bilal – “Pleasure Toy” feat. Big K.R.I.T. (Prod. By Adrian Younge)
June 24, 2015
Heat! Lyrical assist on “Pleasure Toy” (produced by Adrian Younge) provided by Big K.R.I.T. Bilal has most definitely got himself a hit track off what is sure to be an album full of them (pre-order “In Another Life” via link below). A record that holds maintains the track record, so to speak. Got a throwback feel to it; talking over the ride out portion of the track. Play it and like it.

R&B: Elle Varner feat. 50 Cent – “Birthday”
June 22, 2015
Elle Veezy and Fiddy Ferrari! Sick album cover work by the way. Fly jawn from Elle Varner with heavy vocal dosage from 50 Cent. This is a new banger leaked in advance of Elle’s “4 Letter Word” project entitled “Birthday.”
ELLE VARNER – BIRTHDAY FEAT. 50 CENT
R&B/Soul: Mélat – “Brand New Money” (Prod. By Robbie Anthem)
June 21, 2015
Folks doing good with the vocals are said to have rode, rocked, ripped, etc. a beat. Yeah, well, Mélat sorta did that to this; but it seems like she did something more to this Robbie Anthem-produced “Brand New Money” jawn. She was clutch on it. Scratch that… she body-clutched it, with full leg-and-thigh action, and ground it hard! Get it? Play it. You will. Apparently unattached music from Mélat while working on full-length project tracks.
Loosie from the Robbie “God Damn” Anthem spot!
