yU - I Believe ft Duff

"Today's a special day in remembrance of a man that resembled the spirit of a leader at a time where many just followed suit & went with the tide. Another example of how powerful the spoken word can be, changing the lives of many by something as simple as a thought; amplified by the tone of his voice. When I'm onstage, sometimes I think of Martin & Malcolm. I think of how they fueled their supporters with inspiration to push forward. I wrote "I Believe" at a time when I myself was going thru a lot, and was trying to fine tune my focus. Somehow after talking to my creator, & Charlie Ross (who lived in Okinawa, Japan at the time), I was given the music & this is what came from it." - yU 

"I Believe" comes from 2011's, The Earn. An album highly worthy of your support. Available here.

Oddisee - Still Doing It ft yU

Since his move to Brooklyn, NY last year October, Washington, DC native - emcee/producer, Oddisee spent his summer being very productive.  Inspired by the city and it's many parks as well as the classic Blackbirds original, Oddisee was reminded of his hometown park, Rock Creek Park and the many memories shared there. The 10 track album is a collection of instrumentals all with a story to tell, and from the songs I've streamed thus far, it's a must cop! Really feeling "Scenic Route to You". Peep below the only vocal track featuring his DC brethren yU. Love how he incorporated the Bob James - Nautilus sample.
