Renee Dion & Tall Black Guy - Thriller

My girl, ReneeDion came through yesterday to bless us all with a little Halloween treat. Not that it's just for the day, and mind the fact I'm a day late, but the track was appropriately suited for the occasion. With the go ahead from Tall Black Guy, Renee lends her sultry vocals to his TBG vs Michael Jackson's Thriller remix. I've witnessed before with Eric Roberson's "Past Paradise," the unique way Renee takes a song and flips it to make it her own, and that is what she has accomplished once again with Michael Jackson's major classic "Thriller." Her last project, "The City That Sleeps" is still available for free download here. Please show your support and check her out.

Naira - inkDREAMING ft. Young Scolla & D Julien (Video)

A few months back I was sent an email introducing me to Atlanta based recording artist, Naira. I don't remember exactly what the joint was, but I don't remember being moved by it. However, this go round Naira grabs my attention with this video for her latest single "inkDREAMING" ft Young Scolla & D. Julien. "inkDREAMING" comes off the See Me, See Trouble album which I'm gonna have to give a listen to now. "inkDREAMING" is what she calls the process of being lost in the pages of your mind and the ink with which you write the story of your life in song. I'm feeling the way the three convey their stories on this joint.  Make sure to check out the album for yourself. 

Oddisee - Much Mattered ft Olivier Daysoul

What really matters in your life? Are you living to please others, spending your very last to stay in the spotlight, or are you clearly above all that? Oddisee drops his sentiments over a track that in truth wasn't meant for the Rock Creek Park album, but after looking back into his hard drive - having already completed nine songs for the project, he realized this was indeed meant for the album. Here is the vocal version featuring longtime collaborator Olivier Daysoul. Enjoy!

Kevin Sinatra - In my Soul (Video)

Va emcee, Kevin Sinatra drops his latest video for the first single, "In my Soul" off his unnamed forthcoming album. Kevin flows spirituality, self belief and black progression without coming off preachy throughout this joint, and in the video directed by Wesley Rose, he chronicles black struggle and achievement - past and present. Well done Wes! Produced by Curtis Tull (dude is ill), these two I feel will bring something very promising to hip hop when Kevin's debut drops. 

Iman Williams - Stupid Human Tricks

Yesterday, unexepectedly, Alabama native, Iman Williams released her long awaited album Stupid Human Tricks. The last time I chatted with Iman via twitter, she wasn't quite sure when the album would release - label issues was one of the circumstances I remeber holding up the release. Well, obviously things worked out for the good, and the album is well worth the wait. Stupid Human Tricks is a fusion of spacey, soul, funked-out hip hop beats in conjunction with Iman's melodic tone and harmonies carressing them. I'm definitely going to support Iman's project and I recommend you give it a listen and support it as well.
