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.
THE YUME EXPERIMENT is the brainchild of YUME Mike. It’s a cornucopia of sounds, feelings, and colors. A collective that runs deep! Fresh off of their sold out debut performance in Toronto, Canada with Jean Grae(!!!) they are set to release their debut mixtape THE WHITE RABBIT on December 16th, 2010. Above is a stream of a track called ‘The Rabbit Hole’ by CJ Browne from said mixtape and below is their video for ‘CHiFy’s': ‘Favourite girl’ . For more info on theYUME Experiment check out their site here.

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.
Nicole Scherzinger is giving her solo-dolo career another try, this time hitting the studio with the biggest hitmaker around at the moment – RedOne. Peep her new single below. I’m not entirely feeling it, sounds a lot like Gaga and ya’ll know how I feel about her music. What you saying…?
The duo are currently planning their next EP offering titled ‘Blind Night Errand’. In the meantime we are blessed with this awesome live version of Ruby from their well received ‘Crooks and Lovers’ debut….fucking awesome pair. Their album was on serious summer rinse.
The hotly anticipated Remix album of the fantastic Swim Long-player by one of my favourite dudes of 2010…Caribou is set for release October 26th with guest features from notable acts such as Gold Panda, Nite Jewel and Junior Boys amongst others. ‘Kaili’ is available to stream below…This was one of my standout tracks from Swim and this refix doesn’t deviate too far from the original and is the kind of music my ears need right now!
For the remix album tracklist continue reading after the jump.
Here is a serious serious laid back joint produced by the god behind the boards mr 9th Wonder. The break is NASTY and Kid Daytona comes correct on this one. From his upcoming ‘The interlude’ apparently dropping November 2nd…keep your eyes peeled folks!
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?!

Taken from Amanda Diva’s ‘The Spark’. This week, Grammy Award-winning John Legend and Billy Upski Wimsatt, author of ‘Please Don’t Bomb the Suburbs’ chop it up with Amanda Diva about Obama, homophobia, John Legend for president and more! Good viewing!
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…?
