One of the best things I like to do is take a super long drive at night listening to some dope music. I have found the soundtrack for your next drive. Jimmy Whoo, the talented French producer, gets the help of Mamen Loubensky and Sabrina Bellaouel on this new electro 80s tinged single. The eerie synthed laced track with Sabrina’s vocals sets the perfect mood for you to cruise around the city. Check it out!
Let’s continue on the UK music tip, the super talented Jay Prince just dropped a new free EP BeFor Our Time on his soundcloud page. I have heard a few releases from Jay Prince and this release is probably his best to date, don’t get me wrong his previous releases are dope but this EP is more refined and highlights his smooth flows with some jazzy and soulful production. Don’t waste anytime and cop this EP!
There is something great about hearing jazz on sundays, the lazy day fits perfectly with the chilled out horns. The eighteen year old beatmaker Sinh from the Netherlands is a real jazz digger, his jazz selections are chopped up and laced with some dope vocal cuts. Sinh’s productions are perfect for Sundays, and in fact any mellow late nights. Go check out his Soundcloud page!
2015 is starting strong with UK Soul starting off where it left off in 2014 with some smooth and mellow Rnb. Emmavie Mbongo or Emmavie for short just dropped a new single I Hope We Never Break Up. She is something super special, not only is she a vocalist but she is a super talented producer. It is a rare to find a combination of both, where they excel in both disciplines. The new single features Ego Ella May, and the mellow vibes just oozes out, it is perfect for starting your Saturday night. Emmavie is the going to making some noise in 2015, check her out!
Let’s just get to the chase, The Monophonics just dropped a new single Promises from their highly anticipated upcoming album Sound of Sinning. These guys bring pure funk and soul to every release, and Promises is no joke. I can’t wait for the full length album, but in the meantime check out the new single as well as L’Oncle Ben Soul’s album Coup De Reves, they were the backing band. Highly Recommended!
It has been a minute since my last post, I hope you all had a great christmas filled with joy, family, and great food. I had a great holiday, but no time wastin, let’s get to the music. The talented Amerigo Gazaway steps his game up by releasing a remastered version of his groundbreaking 2011 album Fela Soul. He doesn’t just stop there, as a token of his appreciation, he also releases a brand new single called Still Ego Trippin. The timing of the release on New Year’s Eve is perfect, the funky production with the on point rhymes of De La Soul will for sure get your night started. Don’t sleep and download this single. Have a great New Year!
Tuxedo, the super group consisting of Mayer Hawthorne and Jake One, are in getting into the Christmas spirit of giving. The group released a special christmas track. They flip the classic track Simply Having A Wonderful Christmas Time and add some pure funk, maybe it can be a new tradition of Funking up Christmas. I like Christmas music during the season, but with this track, I could love Christmas music year round. Check out this track and look for their full length album in the New Year
It is a rare that an artist can continually top their previous releases, but with each release, Little Simz is solidifying her place as a top emcee.The UK emcee has some real talent, her ability to flow over such a wide variety of rhythms and beats is unbelievable. It is hard to describe her sound, she even said herself “I don’t have a sound”. There are elements of rnb, mixed with some real bass, topped up with some dope flows. On the new release DROP 3000, IAMNOBODI provides the production on a couple of tracks. I think that collaboration is perfect, IAMNOBODI’s bangin drums over Little Simz rapid fire flow.They really need to do a full length album, in the meantime go download the album from her bandcamp page.
It’s official, Christmas came early. The King of Neo-Soul, the one and only D’Angelo dropped a single in over 15 years. It has a been a long journey for D’Angelo, he has had some ups and downs throughout his career, but no one ever questions his talent and voice. Again, he doesn’t miss a step on the new single Sugah Daddy, the production has a funky sound that gets your head boppin while D’Angelo’s smooth but raw voice floats over. There has been talk about the Black Messiah album dropping, but I didn’t want to get played, but there is a concrete sign that the album will be dropping the near future. Check out the new single!
I know we are in the thick of the Christmas season, don’t let the stress get to you. Step back and relax, just have a coffee and listen to some great music. Well just go grab the coffee, DJM Trio has given you the great music. The live band just dropped their new album Cave Art. The talented band has recreated and reinterpreted some classic hiphop jams, the covers range from Pete Rock’s T.R.O.Y. to Jurassic 5’s Great expectations and there are many more gems. The live instrumentation brings the sound and rhythms to a whole new level, the trio’s layering and fills of the tracks almost create completely new songs. I listened to the first track and then immediately bought the album. Don’t sleep on this album!
