R&B: Poo Bear (MDMA) – “#Beats2BreakUp2” (EP)
May 19, 2012
Jason Boyd, also known as Poo Bear (MDMA), has been in the music business behind the scenes as a singer, songwriter, & producer crafting joints for artists such as Chris Brown, Lupe Fiasco, Wiz Khalifa, Fat Joe, Usher, Kelly Rowland, Redman, Jill Scott, 112, & too many others to name in this post. Wearing many behind the scenes hats, I’m not surprised to find out “MDMA” stands for “Most Devoted Musician Alive”. We’re in a very interesting period of music today as we’re seeing more & more of the creative people who may have been content to just work behind the scenes in the past now stepping out into the forefront as artists. This Las Vegas native just debuted his first official free EP via his website called “#Beats2BreakUp2” featuring 7 tracks of original R&B music including a pretty dope cover of Lauryn Hill’s classic “Sweetest Thing”. I’ve had this EP run a few times since I downloaded it from his website. Check out the tracklisting below, listen to a few key tracks we put up & download the full project below…..
“MOTIONS”
“HOLDING ON TO NOTHING”
“ALONE”

R&B/Soul: Raheem DeVaughn – “Freedom Fighter” (Mixtape)
November 1, 2011
Soul singer Raheem DeVaughn taps into the consciousness of what’s going on around the country & the world with his new mixtape “Freedom Fighter”. This socially conscious project finds Raheem following in almost the same path as fellow D.C. native Marvin Gaye’s socially relevant athems like “What’s Going On?” & “Mercy Me (The Ecology).” Perhaps this particular project was inspired by Raheem DeVaughn’s recent arrest in D.C. during the Occupy D.C. movement alongside Dr. Cornel West who also appears on the mixtape. Additional features include Chrisette Michele, Damian Marley, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jill Scott, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Anthony Hamilton, & many others. Check out the complete tracklisting under the hood…
