Termanology: God’s World [prod by M.Will]

by Kevin September 21, 2009 Singles

If you’ve listened to our Michael Jackson Beat It Tribute Tape, then the backdrop to this track will sound very familiar. Sampling Michael Jackson’s “Earth Song,” producer M.Will submitted this beat to our contest back in June before Termanology even hopped on it. The beat has been rearranged to allow for Term’s vocals and it [...]

by Kevin September 21, 2009 Singles

The homie Muggsy Malone stopped by to share his latest track called “Be Alright.” Produced by Timeless Beats, the song samples “There You Go” by Johnny Gill which was featured on the 1992 soundtrack form the movie Boomerang. Damn, that seems like yesterday…

Producer Spotlight: Slakah The Beatchild

by Sean Deez September 21, 2009 Interviews

If neo-soul had a grandchild, its name would be Slakah the Beatchild. I say a grandchild because, while he remembers all the core values, beliefs, and systems of the once-upon-a-time in style genre, he also takes the important elements of neo-soul and elevates it into a sound of his own. While he is compared to [...]

Method Man & Redman: How Bout That (feat Streetlife & Ready Roc)

by Justin September 20, 2009 Music Videos

Method Man & Redman give the visual treatment to “How Bout That” featuring Streetlife & Ready Roc off their Blackout! 2 album which dropped earlier this year. Check out our review of the album by Sean Deez here if you have not already. BO2 is still one of my personal favorites of this year so far, Meth & [...]

Tess Henley: Easy To Love

by eA September 20, 2009 Music Reviews

At first glance, 21-year-old Tess Henley gives off a soft-spoken and shy persona, one that may even be classified as a naive innocence, however, the release of her debut album Easy To Love proves otherwise. Tess’ remarkable writing abilities and buttery vocals put this image to rest, as she reveals a compelling story about the [...]

Soulful Sunday Bonus: The Commodores

by J. Rizzle September 20, 2009 Soulful Sundays

For the bonus post for Soulful Sunday we decided on one of the tightest funk bands of the 70′s (remember I didn’t say “the best”, but when it came to slow jams this band was the best)… The Commodores! This mix takes me back when moms use to throw on music on Saturdays when it [...]

More Dwele anyone? [view previous Soulful Sunday post] I know the homie MaG is gonna like this post, lol… If you were wondering what Dwele sounds like live, well here’s a lil taste for the earbuds. It also features one of the jazz greats Roy Hargrove… Hit it after the jump and enjoy!!!

Soulful Sunday: Marsha Ambrosius Edition

This mixtape originally dropped back on Dec. 2008, and shouts to Don Cannon for shouting us out in it, but this joint right here is the DJ-less/No Tagged version so you can enjoy the music. [...]

Don Notz feat. Ali Vegas & Torae: Lost

by Thomas September 20, 2009 Singles

Honestly, I have no clue who Don Notz is or where he comes from. I took notice of the song earlier this week because of the Ali Vegas and Torae combination. The song is dope and Ali Vegas has two stellar verses. I’ve said in the past that Ali Vegas is nice with it. I’ll [...]

Sample of the Day: DJ Clue Edition

by Thomas September 20, 2009 Sample of The Day

DJ Clue dropped his third album in December of 2006 to little promotion and fan fare. This album doesn’t live up to the previous two in the series…kinda lacked the star power of the others (no Jay, Em, Redman, Method Man, etc). Hit the cut for the samples to three of the better songs on [...]

Mobb Deep x Sade: Where Ya Heart At/Fear

by Thomas September 20, 2009 Sample of The Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-KpUPo3dKII”>video

Last one for the night! Havoc sampling Sade=one of Mobb Deep‘s best songs. I should put some time into the incomplete sets I have for Hell on Earth, Murda Muzik, Infamy, Amerikaz Nightmare & Blood Money; but I’ve been mad lazy with the sets as of late. Something to look into. Hit the cut for [...]

Jodeci x Quincy Jones: Get On Up/Velas

by Thomas September 20, 2009 Sample of The Day

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxmLaESahtM”>video

Going through some boxes of cassette tapes today I came across this gem. That’s right I said gem. These boys from North Carolina could sing! The Show, The After Party, The Hotel was released in July 1995 (one month prior to the Purple Tape) and was an instant smash with the somewhat raunchy “Freekin’ You” [...]

R.I.P. DJ Roc Raida

by Kevin September 19, 2009 News

Twitter is blowing up right now with the recent news of DJ Roc Raida passing away from apparent surgery complications. From what I understand, the X-ecutioners DJ was undergoing spinal surgery due to an accident he was in a few weeks ago. No more information is available at this time. Roc Raida was, and always [...]

Sparks just won’t quit: “Fourth leak from my Super Senior album sponsored by the fam at DJ Booth, 2DopeBoyz, and KevinNottingham (shout out to Z, Shake, and Kev)…this song is called Callin Me Featuring Tina Quallo Produced By Kurser…I’ve been recording non stop and the records are sounding dope…shooting for a late [...]

Sample of the Day: Lil Wayne x Drake

by Thomas September 19, 2009 Sample of The Day

This Wayne and Drake track dropped about 2 weeks ago I believe. I like the track…it’s along the lines of “Gossip” and “Tha Mobb” where Wayne sounds focused and sober. Maybe Drake wrote his verses? When I heard the song…I needed to know that sample. As usual the homie SoulControllah unearthed it last week on [...]
