Nikki Jean feat Oddisee – Tell The Truth

Most of y’all might know Nikki Jean as the hook girl from Lupe Fiasco’s Hip-Hop Saved My Life track last year. However, the Philly (via MPLS) singer was also the frontwoman for the experimental roots side project Nouveau Riche (who performed at our Banned in DC show a few years ago), and from her amazing music that she posted to her MySpace page. Oh, and did I mention that she is beautiful as well? I wish Nikki all the best with her new found contract, and I hope to God they don’t pull a J*Davey on her.

Nikki’s track on DC rapper Oddisee’s mixtape is insane! This track is definately one of my favorite of the year.

Reviews

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach

4.0/5

If it takes us a few listens to really get into the Gorillaz newest album. Can we blame ourselves?
We are forced fed music that is derivative of another. Pop music all sounds the same, with each artist essentially sounding like the one who came 3 months before them. When we hear something as creative and [...]

ALBUM REVIEW: Outputmessage – Autonomous

4.5/5

Washington, DC by way of Queens, NY electronic dance music producer Outputmessage is likely one of the more underrated EDM artists in the genre. The eight year veteran has received terrific acclaim both stateside and abroad for his musically dense but pop trending melodies awakening a sense of early 80s synth pop sounds. However, with [...]

Album Review: Sade – Soldier of Love

4.0/5

While not a masterpiece, in an era where the market has been deluged by a new female soul vanguard that angles increasingly towards pop, Sade remains regal, calm, collected and steadfast, and merely releases the standard bearer album to define the female expression in R & B for 2010.
Sade’s musical legacy lies in her ability [...]

ALBUM REVIEW:Massive Attack “Heligoland”

4.5/5

Massive Attack – Paradise Circus
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Tomorrow marks the official release date (U.S. and Canada) for Heligoland, the 5th proper studio album by Massive Attack.
Whereas the 2003 release 100th Window glistened with mechanical accuracy and disciplined minimal techno, Heligoland finds the Bristol duo returning to the dirtier, dubbed out sound of [...]
