Sums up why I love Brittany Bosco, really. I find very few artists as exciting as I do Bosco, there’s something very…special about her. Her voice has a sexy, husky but vunerable tone to it and her writing is really quite brilliant. Can’t wait for her new material, she sent me a couple demo’s she’s playing with – trust me, we’re all in for a treat.

Two of my favourites in one studio making good music, I’m happs. I could happily watch R-Les in the studio all day, the man is music personified. Ergh. His visuals are dope too, never a bad look. I don’t know too much about Jasmine Villegas, but she seems peng cool.

Still not loving this album, but I do like this song – a lot. I am happy to see John Legend singing this type of soul music again though. The album, I think, will grow on me.

Here is the latest RZA track that dropped as part of the new ‘WUwednesdays’ This is from RZA:

“2 Left Shoes” features R&B singer Truth Hurts and Rev. William Burk – its a demo we did this summer. I want to share with you Wu-Disciples before it gets into final form.Verse one is about fake friends who I showed love to throughout the years yet they continue to stab me in the back and take my love and kindness for a weakness. Verse 2 explains how the true and living god put love above all things for love conquers all.The hook states ” loving you is like wearing two left shoes”. I choose it because I am a man who loves unconditionally yet that love sometimes is difficult to handle or live with or simply to wear’

MY GAAAAAAAAAAARD. I was nuff excited about this project already and then this video dropped!! October marks the launch of ‘The Revivalist’ (by those G’s over at Okayplayer) which is dedicated to jazz music.

To kick off the launch, Grammy nominated vocalist Nnenna Freelon teamed up hip-hop quartet The Beast to release Freedom Suite, a homage to the paring of hip-hop and jazz. In the sprirt of projects like Guru’s Jazzmatazz series, the suite brings together some very recognizable names to the project, including Phonte, Yahzarah, Suede (of Camp Lo), Carlitta Durand, Apple Juice Kid, and host, 9th Wonder. Excited much?!

Filmed at a non-profile org named SEEDS in Durham, North Carolina which teaches young people to plant, grow, harvest and sell crops in their communities. To learn more about SEEDS, go to seedsnc.org.

Listen / Download the song (for free) via the bancamp player below…

Been hearing a lot of good things about Mark Ronson’s new album, Record Collection – specifically this tune actually. I haven’t yet checked it out – will do in a bit though. In the mean time, what do you think…?
