Tamika Love Jones - All it Was ft Rayshun Lamarr

Straight up and down, I love this song! Regardless of the message, the emotions are truly felt via the powerful vocals of Tamika Love Jones and Rayshun Lamarr. This is not my first time hearing of the Washington DC, native. I've unfortunately been sleeping on her for a few months now. Her first single "Damn, Damn, Damn" with it's catchy hook, organic guitar riff and poetic vibe easily drew comparisons to Jill Scott, but don't get it twisted, Tamika can surely hold her own. Having worked with Chucky Thompson, Faith Evans, Tanya Blount and Mya just to name a few, Tamika is well on her way to achieving the success she most certainly deserves.  With that said, enjoy the video, peep the album and support it when you can. I mos definitely will.

Yung B Da Producer - AcKnoWleGe iT

Whenever I receive an email asking me to post music/video to the blog, I'm not always quick to jump on it, especially when I get one with the title of "Yung..." in the subject line. Any rapper/emcee with a name beginning with Young/Yung, usually hits the trash bin with the quickness. Somehow this one didn't make it there, and I'm thankful for that. Hailing from New Jersey, 21 year old emcee/producer, Yung Da Producer is hip-hop remeniscent of the "Golden Era." As an emcee, Yung's flow and content kinda reminds me of a young Nas, and as a producer, influences from Buckwild, Large Pro Pete Rock and The Beatminerz can be heard. “Acknowledge It” is the first single from his upcoming debut project entitled “The Last Poet.” Press play on the joint below and let it bang. Hit up his myspace to check out more.
