The Renaissance
Video: Q-Tip Accepts His Worldwide Award
Most of y’all know that I think that Gilles Peterson is the best radio programmer of all time (who else drops Lil Wayne AND jazz legend Freddie Hubbard in the same hour?), and his Worldwide awards highlight the best in urban alternative music throughout the world. The ultimate winner of the 2008 prize is Q-Tip [...]
Review: Q-Tip The Renaissance
Q-Tip
The Renaissance
The Renaissance is a solid effort from the leader of one of the most renowned- groups of hip-hop’s timeline, historically known as the Native Tongues era. Q-Tip’s greatest feat may have been the fact that he successfully pushed the boundaries of boom-bap, which often times can get protected and stagnated by it’s own pioneering [...]

Q-Tip Feat Eve – Gettin’ Up Remix
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
So I initially dismissed this track as one of those fake remixes where some rapper phones in a verse at the beginning of the track. (We all know what I’m talking about) I’m shocked to hear that this is a proper remix, with [...]

Wow….this song is HOT! The Video is so-so. I can’t wait until The Renaissance drops in November!

Video: Q-Tip Speaks on The Renaissance at Commonwealth DC
I’m really pissed that nobody called me about this. I was a 7 minute drive away sittn’ on my ass playing Xbox when this all went down. Butta and her crew did get the call though, and got some great footage of Q-Tip performing songs from his long awaited album The Renaissance which drops on [...]

Q-Tip ft. D’Angelo – I Believe
[Audio clip: view full post to listen]
Even though we must cherish the time when D’Angelo shows up on any form of recorded audio, I can’t really get into this Q-Tip track. As a grown and sexy dance floor filler, it serves its purpose, but when compared to the “Gettin’ Up,” [...]

Review: Gorillaz – Plastic Beach
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
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
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”
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 [...]
