R&B / Soul: Teedra Moses – ‘Luxurious Undergrind’ (Mixtape)
July 5, 2011
I’m glad to see Teedra Moses drop a new mixtape now that she’s officially an artist on Rick Ross’s Maybach Music Group. A talented singer & songwriter of her caliber needs to get the type of publicity & looks that she deserves more than just penning hits for big names like Mary J. Blige & Raphael Saadiq. I still find myself bumping her first album Complex Simplicity while cruising the streets especially during the summer months. Seems like the suits at MMG wanted Teedra to bring more of that feeling by dropping this mixtape yesterday. Her first full length album ‘Lioness’ on MMG will drop sometime next year but this Luxurious Undergrind mixtape should hold true fans like us over. The complete tracklisting is under the hood…..
R&B / Soul: Ishe + Hezekiah Project – ‘Pressure’
June 30, 2011
This is nice right here from Ishe + Hezekiah’s collaborative Project…..Hezekiah is the same soulful Philly emcee & producer many of you may already be familiar with who’s linked up with the San Diego songbird Ishe for this dope experimental soul album that’s out now. This is just one of the standout singles. Soulful vibes right here…..don’t succumb to the ‘Pressure’ to avoid this gem right here. Check this joint out….
Slakah The Beatchild Is Providing ‘The Cure’ With His Music (Video)
June 27, 2011
Over the weekend I discover this soulful R&B song called ‘The Cure’ from Canadian artist Slakah The Beatchild. I’m not entirely familiar with Slakah The Beatchild’s work, but after posting a video he directed called ‘When It Comes To You’ for fellow Canadian songstress Ayah I decided to do further research on the web. Of course the first thing I found was this new track called ‘The Cure’ that he just dropped on the web but I also ran across his EPK that dropped sometime last year. Listen or download the ‘The Cure’ below, but check out the video above to familiar yourself with this artist who is talented in a variety of different musical genres & mediums. Part 2 of his EPK is under the hood…..

Jill Scott is beautiful….her music is too. Jilly from Philly is riding high since the release of her new album ‘Light Of The Sun’ & the Billboard editors did her justice with this new cover. Great to see someone we respect musically on the covers of these magazines lately.

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’.  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…..

R&B / Soul: Jamiroquai – ‘Smile’
June 13, 2011
This is just what I needed today….for real for real…..Jamiroquai let loose this soulful joint that’s as beautiful as a summer day. To name it ‘Smile’ is all the more appropriate because I literally let out a slight smile when listening to this gem right here. This is a new free joint that Jay Kay & the band let loose following their Rock Dust Light Star album that dropped last year….
Marsha Ambrosius – ‘Late Nights & Early Mornings’ (Video)
June 13, 2011
Marsha Ambrosius draws from Prince for inspiration in the title track from her album ‘Late Nights & Early Mornings’, but she may have been influenced by the large number of people making bad choices when it comes to sex that could cost them their life for the actual video. Good song, great message. It’s gonna be a hot summer…..STAY STRAPPED!
Benny Tones – ‘Odyssey’ feat. LP (Kamandi Headspin Remix)
June 7, 2011
The picture has nothing to do with the song (the real artwork is under the hood if you want to see it) but this joint right here is some pretty dope future progressive soul…..Some good ambient vibe out type music….It was released as a free download but Benny Tones’s new album Chrysalis is available now on BBE where you can purchase it.

New Music: Lenny Kravitz – ‘Stand, You’re Gonna Run Again’
June 7, 2011
This past Sunday I was cruising through Atlanta listening to Lenny Kravitz’ 5 album which still gets alot of play from me on a personal level. Especially my favorite track ‘Little Girl’s Eyes’ dedicated to his daughter Zoe Kravitz who coincidentally has all grown up into a beautiful woman & did a fairly good job in the new X-Men: First Class movie. God must work in mysterious ways last Sunday because Lenny Kravitz’s camp dropped this new single ‘Stand’ the following Monday from his upcoming project Black And White America due on August 22nd.

Kryon Leslie – ‘Reverse’ (Video)
June 6, 2011
I’ve seen this particular video before but this blog wasn’t in existence around the time it was actually released for us to post it. This is the debut single from Atlanta R&B/soul artist Kryon Leslie that’s now available on itunes.
Rochelle Jordan – ‘Take Time’ (prod by Klash)
June 5, 2011
This is the second banger that I’m feeling from this Toronto vocalist….She’s been on my radar & if she keeps hitting the people with quality joints like these more people will be checking for her in no time. She’s another one of these relatively new faces in R&B who’s sound bends a little more alternative than what’s constantly on the radio all day everyday. Apparently she’s set to drop her third EP in July called ‘In Search Of….Radio’ inspired by N.E.R.D. & Radiohead. Back in May she dropped the first leak to that project with a song called ‘How To Feel’ that I thought sounded pretty good too. I don’t think we got around to posting it at the time so we included it in this post too….
