Robert Glasper Experiment feat. Erykah Badu – “Afro Blue”
January 5, 2012
Robert Glasper connects with everyone’s favorite Dallas Cowgirl with soul, Erykah Badu, for this jazzy track called “Afro Blue.” It’s the first jawn off of the upcoming “Black Radio” project from the Robert Glasper Experiment. In true step with his concept of what ideally “Black Radio” should be, the album which will be released on Blue Note records on February 28th will cross various boundaries in black music from hip hop, jazz, blues, R&B, & rock. This joint right here is really chill….

R&B/Jazz: Freddie Joachim – Patiently EP
December 15, 2011
I’ve been letting this new Freddie Joachim EP “Patiently” run a few times today while working. It’s a dope 5 song EP of soulful & jazzy instrumentals that serve as a nice appetizer to his next project “Fiberglass Kisses” due early 2012 on Mellow Orange Music. Freddie Joachim released this project late November & is donating proceeds from the sale of the EP to charity for the holidays. Check out some snippets from the project below or just go on ahead & download the full songs from his page. No singers or rap artists needed for this joint right here. Trust me you won’t be disappointed. I’ll be giving this EP significant spins until his next project drops. Until then we’ll be “Patiently” waiting for it…

Pharrell – Frontin’ (Buzz T Remix)
October 2, 2011
This is just some Sunday hotness right here! This is a nice jazzy Bossanova remix that immediately fills my mind with images of Brazilian beaches, great food, & beautiful women. This remix to Pharrell’s hit record Frontin’ was remixed by Buzz T featuring the Menahan Street Band. If you dig this joint make sure you check out more DJ Buzz T remixes from his soundcloud page.

Freddie Joachim – ‘Waves’
July 8, 2011
Now this is just what I needed right now. Some dope jazzy soulful instrumental vibes with no emcee talking all over the track. This is just some great new cool out music right here from the Cali based DJ & producer Freddie Joachim (pronounced JO-AH-KIM). These tracks makes me feel like taking a flight to back to Brazil or something. Makes me want fly out to Costa Rica, Jamaica, Dominican Republic, or Puerto Rico & hit the ‘Waves’. I’m gonna need to go back & load Freddie’s entire instrumental catalog into my itunes. For now we’re just gonna have this baby on repeat. But don’t thank me….Thank Freddie on twitter.

Louis Jordan – ‘Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens’ (DJ Premier RMX)
May 9, 2011
I remember driving in the car checking out DJ Premier’s ‘LiveFromHeadquarterz’ Sirius XM radio show & he was clowning with his friends in the studio about the phrase ‘Ain’t Nobody Here But Us Chickens Boss!’ I was laughing my ass off but I had no idea DJ Premier had planned to do a remix of this classic late 1940s joint by jazz musician Louis Jordan. DJ Premier’s remix is a part of an upcoming project called ‘L.A. Noire’ put together by Verve Records & Rockstar Games. Check out artwork after the jump…..
