Szjerdene - UK Songstress On The Rise




Don't worry about how her name is pronounced. Just allow her music to carry you through a moment where soft melodies peruse your inner self, and her dainty, jazzy vocals treat your ears in a delightful way. At age 21, London's, Szjerdene is soon to be a voice most will come to love. I discovered her just recently, and after listening to the 3 songs off her Collage - The Demo, I'm telling you, she's gonna win hearts with her music. Look out for her EP, Tailored releasing in 2010, but for now enjoy the bluesy rock funk of "Blue Lullaby." Get your free download of Collage - The Demo here. Continue to support real music.

Martin Luther - The Rebel Soul Rock Star

My memories of Rebel Soul Rock Star, Martin Luther date back to early 2005 while driving back to Orlando (home at the time) from Tampa. I cruised I4 while electric rock strings coupled with straight laced soul poured from the speakers of my Honda Accord. I listened intently as  Martin's dynamic vocal styles bended perfectly to the varied production on Rebel Soul Music (2004). On gems like "Home," he delivers insight about the streets where he grew up on in San Francisco. Things gets steamy on "Truth Or Dare" as he plays an erotic game of questions with a potential conquest, and on "Muse Sick Dreamz," he speaks about his battle between the woman in his life and his pursuit to become an accomplished musician. Martin is definitely not one to sleep on! Check out two of my favorites below, and peep the video for a classic in the making, hopefully off Love Is The Hero dropping Spring 2010. Invest your hard earned dollars on a talent that truly deserves it. Support real singers and quality music.

Darien Brockington - The Cold Case Files

It's here people! After 3 years off scene, D-Brock returns with his mixtape, The Cold Case Files. It's a collection of works beginning in February 2007 and ending here in December 2009. A lot of things kept Darien from the music during his absence, but his passion for the art was well rejuvenated while touring with The Foreign Exchange back in Dec of 2008. There's a few cut's (3 total) I'm not really feeling, but the rest are all heaters and overall the mixtape is solid. Glad to hear D-Brock again. His voice and style are truly a treat to the ears. Support the mixtape! It's only $5, and be on watch for his sophomore album Affected: The Story of John Doe coming in 2010!

The Soul of Miles Bonny



Getting back into my daily after a quick, yet fun filled holiday is never easy in any regards for me. However, I have my duties of keeping my visitors up to date with the best in music beyond the radio. So, let's not waste anymore time. Prepare your ears for the soulful notes of Kansas City resident, Miles Bonny. At first glance, I'm sure you'd think he's everything opposite what a soul singer should look like. But what is the look truthfully? If it's all about name brand fashion and swag, then it's obviously not about the music. With Miles, it's all about the music. His laid back groove called "Words (I Love You)" which I came across yesterday via AJB immediately caught my attention and caused me to do some research about him. Miles has a few titles under his belt to include his solo debut: Smell Smoke (2006) & the critically acclaimed Closer Love EP (2007). Be sure to check this cat out. He'll be dropping 2 releases in 2010: Reggie B & Miles Bonny - Doing Our Thang on 1-08-10 & INcense & Wine in Feb, 2010. Support good music. Support the talents of the underground.

J*Davey - Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes


I waited up 'til 3 am Christmas morning, but Miss Jack Davey and Brook D'Leau b.k.a J*Davey, I guess were making us wait for the niceness that is Boudoir Synema: The Great Mistapes.

Carlitta Durand & Vaughn Garcia: The Doug & Patty EP


NC resident, Carlitta Durand has been a very welcomed voice in my ear since the later part of 07'. It was Little Brother's - "Life Of The Party" that kicked off my beginnings to Carlita's rich and robust vocals. I became even more enchanted with Carlitta after hearing the self-gratifying single "Her." The bass heavy track with it's sensuous lyrics won me over upon first listen. I must've played that joint back to back for like the first 4 spins. She then followed up with the rugged, E-Jones produced "What If" - a tale about a past relationship that still longs to be, but another woman has taken her place. After a plethora of features on several projects throughout 08' and 09' (BuckShot & 9th Wonder, Nicolay, Zo! and my favorite, Roddy Rod's - "This Time Around.") She released her mixtape Carltta's Way (The Prelude) earlier this year, and now she's back alongside producer Vaughn Garcia (M1 Platoon) with The Doug & Patty EP. It's and early Christmas gift people. Get it here, and hit up her twitter to tell her thanks. Enjoy! "Doug's Funny Love" is my cut. Continue to support the talents of the underground!

Escape With Sound Scapes


East London & Kent Coast UK representatives, Amede pronounced (AM-EDDIE) - the voice, and producer/engineer The Soundsmith are a deeply creative duo that's all about making good music. Together, they unite a collection of sounds stemming from soul break beats & hip hop samples, and reaching towards futuristic, ambient vibes with a lounge effect to bring their dream stage like music to the forefront. My beginings with the group are extremely new and came via Sexy Beast Vol 5 by DJ SD & Jus One. I liked what i heard, so off to their myspace I went to find out more about the group. I bought a joint off their Flat 17 - EP, and got a free download of a project entitled Sound Scapes via their website. Here's what Amede had to say about Sound Scapes:

"Sound Scapes is a 24 track album which in a nutshell, reveals all my ways of working and snippits of vocal work soon to come in 2010. The Sound Scapes touch on discrepant sampled based hip hop soul built on my mpc, sparse soulful and abstract vocals to some sonic sound studies to soak your mind in."

Give them a listen. Download the project here, and look out for new works to come in 2010. Support good music.

Ali Shaheed Muhammed & The Luv Bugz

It's been over 5 years now since Ali Shaheed Muhammed'sShaheedullah & Stereotypes (2004) hit stores. I remember driving all over Orlando to buy this cd, and finally found it at Best Buy. After popping it in the cd player and listening to the first 3 tracks, I quickly noticed a major difference in his production. Unlike the jazz influenced sound of his group A Tribe Called Quest, Ali's solo album showcased a more organic R&B/hip hop type of vibe, which proved to be more of his exclusive production style. The project also introduced me to then new artists, Kay & Sy Smithwho I'm a fan of both to this very day. Other featured artists were Chip from Fu Schnickens and Stokley Williams from Mint Condition. Not too many people I know have heard or even know about the album. In my opinion, S&S was sonically & lyrically out of the norm from what the industry was and is still putting out today. So in support of his upcoming second solo album, which the title has yet to be disclosed, I ready you with a pair of my favorite tracks off Shaheedullah and Stereotypes. Also, in the video below, peep a sample of the track "Be Like Luv Bugz" featuring The Luv Bugz from the forthcoming album. Another great year in music is ahead. Support good music as always.

Amanda Diva - I Can See

It's been over 2 years now since my introduction to the multi-talented Amanda Diva. Her first offering, a joint called "40 MC's ft. Q-tip, had me bobbing my head from the onset of the piano riddled sample. The cut was so chill, and Amanda's storytelling lyrics were right on point with the slow knock of the track. I was proud to hear a female emcee spit sex free, fashion flow-less lyrics, and instead, kept it 100% hip hop. Since then, I really haven't stayed up to date with her. I'd see her pop up from time to time again on various hip hop websites, Mtv2 and most recently on features with Q-tip, The Kid Daytona and Rob Murat. Sorry Ms. Diva. I got you from here on out. On that note, the featured track below is from the Ruby Hornet Closed Sessions project out the Chi. It's a smooth showcase of Amanda's lyrical game as well as her gift of song. Cop her FreEp, "Spandex, Rhymes & Soul via her sites, and make sure to support this talented young lady. [RH]

The Phenomenal Handclap Band


Now what's with the 8 hippie looking cats in the pic above? I thought this blog was about soul, hip-hop, jazz & alternative music not some Rotary Connection (minus 2 black members) look a likes? Well, there's where you're wrong. My mission is to put you on as well as myself to some dope music no matter who it is, and the psychedelic sounds of The Phenomenal Handclap Band is no exception. Think of The Delfonics, Pink Floyd, ABBA, Earth Wind & Fire and other greats from the 60's and 70's culture coming together to create timeless works for people to enjoy. This is what you get from TPHB. Founded  by NewYork DJs, Daniel Collas & Sean Marquand, TPHB serves up crafty pieces of funk, disco, soul and experimental vibes to keep you on the dance floor all night. I'm not going to say they won me over with the whole project, but there's a good 7 of 12 tracks that I'm digging. Check out the two below and get your spin on the rest here. Try something new, and show your support for the love of forward thinking music. Thanks Kev.

Chi Town's Secret Weapon


Before I started blogging, to keep up with the haps in music, I'd cruise through a few of my favorite sites for my regular fix of news and goods. During one of my quests, back in May, I came across an underground classic via WhenTheyReminice entitled Soon You'll Understand. Composed by Chicago native, Thaione Davis and produced entirely by the ever so slept on Rashid Hadee - Soon You'll Understand got me open from the onset of Thaione's spit game on "Still Hear." 'Ok, now situations at a stand still/ran those scheming it/like I ain't got nothing to lose/ not confused...' As I continued on through the album, I found myself nodding to every track and quite impressed by Thaione's lyrical dexterity. I was immediately brought back to the golden era of hip hop when duos like Pete Rock & C.L Smooth had you buzzing off the impeccable Mecca & The Soul Brother. Unfortunately, being signed to a small indie label (Jericho Lounge Music), one of the dopest releases in hip hop this year, flew below the radar not able to achieve its proper dues. Hopefully, he'll secure a better deal and guarantee another classic his second go round. Check out the unreleased "Notes In The Chamber" and one of my favorites off Soon You'll Understand - "Problems." Keep the art alive. Support hip hop NOT hip pop.

Full Crate & Mar - Conversations With Her


I can't remember exactly when I heard Full Crate's "She Was Fly" ft. Mar, but ever since that time, I'd been feigning for more music from them. With Mar's easy flowing vocals atop Full Crate's seamless blend of soul, house and hip hop, I get in the mood to just lounge on the couch in my robe and chill. Just yesterday, I was fortunate to have been on twitter when Full Crate tweeted "Flirtwitu" ft. Versis, and upon playing it, I shook my head. Another banger! Conversations With Her EP drops 1-15-10. I can't wait! Peep samples from the project on Amazon. "Surreal Moments" sounds like it's gonna be my track. Props to Moovmnt.

Soon the masses will come to know the soulful falsetto of singer/songwriter... Aaron Abernathy. My first introduction to the LA representative came via his feature on Fat Ray and Black Milk's - The Set Up (2008), then again on A Work in Progress (2009) with producer Daru Jones.

Nite Jewel & Dam Funk are Nite Funk

Ask me what I know about Nite Jewel, and I'll be quick to say "nothing really." However, after checking out her myspace, she seems to be on a cool type, funk vibe I can get down with. Now, Dam Funk on the other hand, dude is just fly with his style of boogie music (check previous post). Both artists rep the LA scene and are fans of each other, so XLR8R Online magazine decided to put the two somewhat similar but unique styles together and see what they come up with. I think the outcome is pretty solid. Maybe the start to something full length?

Morgan Heritage: True Rootz Music

Spanning an impressive 19 year career, reggae band Morgan Heritage has solidified their place in the continuous sound of rootz reggae & conscious vibes music. With 10 albums released to date (11th currently in the works), 5 of singer Denroy Heritage's 30 offspring have taken reggae music to the masses, achieving critically acclaimed status. Performing since their youth, Morgan Heritage - consisting of Gramps, Mr. Mojo, Una, Lukes and Jahpetes claimed my fan-ship back in 01' with their classic tune "Down By The River." The sweetness of the riddim and redemptive spiritual message caught my attention immediately, ultimately leading me to buy the worthy More Teachings album. Since then, I've been in and out of the loop with the group, but while considering my next post, they crossed my mind. Check out the video from 08's Mission In Progresspeep the exquisite "Your Best Friend" from Full Circle (2005), and keep your eye out for future group works. Solo projects by Gramps and Mr. Mojo available now, and Una soon come. Support positive music. Respect!

New Amerykah Pt 2: Return of The Ankh


I'm so amped right now! Just read an article about Eryka Badu's follow up to the incredible, New Amerykah Pt1: 4th World War (2008). New Amerykah Pt2: Return of The Ankh releases Feb 23, 2010 (finally) and will feature production by J Dilla, Madlib, James Posyer and notable others. Sounds like it's going to be another knockout for Ms. Badu. With Sade, Silhouette Brown, Jose James and others to drop, 2010 is going to be another great year in music. Read the article for yourself here. And for those of you who don't have Pt1, the track below will convince you to get it. Support the artist and mark your calendar for Return of The Ankh, 2-23-10.

Remebering The King


If you've seen This Is It, you'd know that M.J was on the verge of putting on one hell of a concert before bowing out gracefully. I'm still a bit bothered by his passing. He will forever be missed. In light of that, Questlove of The Roots twitted this earlier. Enjoy it.

Putting In Work

Reppin' SD and LA, California - DJ/producer Freddie Joachim is a class act when it comes to laying down smooth & jazzy hip hop beats to keep you in a mellow spirited mood. His skills date back to 96' as a mobile DJ and turntabilist. In 2001 he delve deeper into the music, and eventually claimed his first production and recording credits in 06'. I personally got into Freddie, last year with his debut, In With Time. Now the kid is like 4 albums deep since then, plus production for his joint venture with Lauren Santiago and a remix for Vikter Duplaix. Whew! Continue to support good music. His latest album, Study Guide with Question is available now. Enjoy the video below and the creamy vocals of Clara Hill on "Endlessly."
