R&B / Soul: Terri Walker – ‘Terri In Wonderland’ (Mixtape)

June 15, 2011

I can’t front & say that I’ve always been familiar with London born soul singer Terri Walker, but I do recall her working with Mos Def when she had an album released on Def Jam’s former Def Soul imprint. Terri has also worked with ill producer Ski Beatz in the past including putting her touch on his Camp Lo classic ‘Luchini’ production for her song ‘This Is My Time’.Â Â Terri Walker continues to work that Ski Beatz magic by dropping this new mixtape ‘Terri In Wonderland.’ The mixtape doesn’t feature any hip hop artists with the exception of D.C’s. Tabi Bonney, but don’t get it twisted into thinking that this particular project is just another R&B singer wailing over hip hop beats. This ‘Terri In Wonderland’ goes in a variety directions which showcases Terri Walker’s influences in soul & true school hip hop but it also reflects her time growing up in the UK & Germany whose audiences musical palettes tend to span over a myriad of other genres. I can do without some of the unnecessary cursing on a track or two, but there are a few joints on here I liked. I’ve included a few joints for you to listen to below, but you can check out the full artwork, tracklisting, & download link of the entire mixtape after the jump…..
