Solange is My New Homegirl

Solange - I Decided (Tittsworth Remix)*

*This remix is insane. It’s definitely on some crazy house music vibes!
Sometimes I wake up in the morning and have a song stuck in my head. At the beginning of the week it was Ike’s Rap II by Issac Hayes (for obvious reasons), but ever since Wednesday, it’s been “I [...]

Nappy Roots + Slick And Rose - Kalifornia Dreamin’

Nappy Roots feat Slick And Rose - Kalifornia Dreamin’

I just got an email from Rose of the ATL duo Slick and Rose, whom we profiled way back in 2005 about their newest collaboration. Even after they dropped the excellent Objects in the Mirror, they have still be fighting for recognition in the industry. Fortunately, they [...]

Big Boi - Something’s Gotta Give (featuring Mary J. Blige)

A very dope and overtly political song from Big Boi from his solo album, entitled Sir Luscious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty which drops this year. The track is slightly cliched’ but its good to see Mary J back in form.

Mixtape: Ayah - The Problem Woman

Ayah - The Problem Woman Mixtape (Free Download)
Most of y’all know that I generally don’t like R&B music, and let’s face it: the genre has been stagnant for years now after the death of neo soul and the introduction of pro Tools assisted divas with an absence of talent and class.
However, maybe once a year [...]

Just Added: Gnarls Barkley at 9:30 Club, Other Shows

DC is getting some fly shows lately! They’re not free like our friends in New York , but I still can’t complain.
Gnarls Barkley at 9:30 Club - August 5th
Show just added today. Gnarls is rocking 9:30 with (er, transvestite fronted) Hercules Love Affair on August 5th. I saw Gnarls at the MCI Center when they [...]

Gnarls Barkley’s The Odd Couple Out Now

Gnarls Barkley decided that rather than releasing their album April 8th, let’s release it…..um. Today! Well, more like yesterday, when the duo rushed their albums to digital and retail markets. I’ve listened to the leak, and this is a fairly solid album. And yes, this is about to be the next trend: The band [...]

Review: Erykah Badu - New Amerykah Part One (4th World War)

Erykah Badu
New Amerykah, Pt. 1: 4th World War

When I first heard the track “The Healer” on Erykah Badu’s 4th full length album, I thought that homegirl had lost it. Even though the track was set to a dope Madlib beat, and is probably the best head nodders in a long time, it sounded like [...]

New Music: Erykah Badu - The Healer

Erykah Badu - The Healer (zShare)
I heard this last week on Gilles Peterson’s Worldwide radio show but never got a chance to rip it. Fortunately someone got around to it because this is a killer track. I gotta admit, even though I loved Oh Word’s Baduizm parody, I’ve been a Badu fan since day one. [...]

Snoop Dogg - Sexual Seduction

Wow. I was not expecting this from your boy Snoop. Crazy song and dope video!

This is supposedly off of his new album Ego Trippin’ which is supposed to drop next year.

Pics: Muhsinah @ Bohemian Caverns

Much thanks to everyone who came down to Bohemian Caverns last Saturday for Muhsinah’s album release party. Lady Glock was gracious enough to take pics with her SLR (because we all know if I took them they would turn out something like this) . Anyway, as I said before, Muhsinah just dropped an album titled [...]
