Well I'm a big fan of these guys. I made a big ol post in dedicated to those guys and their live band "Restoring Poetry In Music" (Pyramid In Moscow). So I'm totally pumped about this album. I'll hit ya'll with their new single, "Voyagers"...

This joint is mean. I love the build that beat gets as the verse progresses and Royce increase his intensity with the build. I can't wait till Street Hop comes out....

Spotlight Albums: Tommorrow Already/Picture This.../WLIB AM: King Of The Wigflip

Now On - Tommorrow Already

Many of you have seen me sing the praise of Now On. But with their newest album I think they have surpassed my expections. Tommorrow Already is a collection soulful and lyrical music. Not just talking about bling or how they hate those with bling. Now On makes creativity music like the kind their parents listened to. See many don't recoginize that the bitching about how dead hip hop is just isnt cool. Make some good hip hop music and prove it is. Well Now On doesn't even touch the subject but they prove that it isn't dead. Well as always when Haircut blesses us with his creativity sounds we must point out just how talent he is. Well through out this record Haircut stays consistent with the majority of songs he produced. Also featured on this album is Jake One & Atsronote. Arguably one of the best producers out period....Now On lyrically keep it on point. I was totally satisfied after listening to this album but pen point to certain tracks it hard so I just leave up to you....cop Tommorrow Already nuff said...

The Answer

DJ KO - Picture This...

Now I was impressed by the line-up on S1's album or Jake One but the lineup on DJ KO's album has to be the sickest. Would you ever think you'd see Torae & O.C. on one track over some Ayatollah production? The album opens up with one of my favorite rappers Silent Knight and underrated East spitting some dope shit over 9th Wonder's thumping drums. The album has the best of the best MCs over the best of the best producers. But the are standouts are Silent Knight who destroyed ever track he was on while Emilio Rojas (Raks-One) freely unleashes vicious multis and metaphors. Then after the killer Elzhi/Royce/Supastition track you hear one of the dopest samples then some "loud drums and crazy loops" courtesy of Illmind. Analogic is perhaps the most impressive artist to touch this album. Seriously don't sleep on Analogic..But special thanks to DJ KO for putting together such a great album.

Get 'Em f/ Silent Knight, Skyzoo & Emilio Rojas (Produced by ILLmind)

Mind of a Genius f/ Chaundon, Shabaam Sahdeeq, Finale & Sean Boog (Produced by Analogic)

Madlib - WLIB AM: King Of The Wigflip

Its Madlib. He's great. This album is great. Following suit of Jackson Conti's Sujinho, Beat Konducta Volume 5 and Madvillany 2 remixes. The production on this album is epic. I was reading on Stone Throws board and people were down this album. Some people are just too nic picky and only song with subpar production was Murs joint..which sorry Lib, sounds like some simple FL Studio drum pattern but besides that. This album is crazy. Guilty Simpson killed his two joints. Go! is heavy well Blow The Horn On Em is Guilty beasting...I like the interludes and the instrumentals sprinkled over the album. Madlib even pulls out the rhyme book on a few joints. So stop all the downing of Madlib just cop the album...

Got Me Stuck In The Friend Zone

So more and more I've been feeling TiRon. A while back I posted his mixtape " Handshakes & Pounds" but ever since he dropped that he seems to be on a constant grind. I too sure if he dropping a new tape, EP or album but the recent tracks he's leaked are dope as hell. I can easily relate to his music as I've used a wingman, threw my money and been stuck in the "Friend" zone. So I feel his song usually quoting him atleast for a hour while at work to pass the time. He's got a real laid back flow and unlike others TiRon probably live his muss so you can sense the passion in the lyrics..and to top off the desert of great music, he got some great production to flow over...

It's Sunday....

So as I take a break from watching football and doing my homework. I search for what albums I should buy with my upcoming paycheck. So I already ordered Blu & Mainframe's Johnson&Jonson LP from iTunes and DJ KO's Picture This from UGHH.com... so I decide to download Killah Priest And Chief Kamachi's Beautiful Minds...talking about straight fire...I'm definitely copping that one...also I listened to Rapheal Saadiq's new album "The Way I See It". That now that guy has some serious talent. I remember Mos Def shouting and praising him on Hi-Teknology 2....so Imma drop two songs from each my two personal favorites and suggest you cop these two albums...

All Hail

Illest feat. Planet Asia & DJ Rhettimatic

Lets Take A Walk

Big Easy

I think Blu's new album is a definitely contender for best lyricism of the year...

and next week is gonna be banging...Murs, T.I., Madlib, Term and Heltah Skeltah....can't wait to cop...I can't feel that Hundred already out my pocket for those...

and look out for a massive review post from DJ KO, J&J, Madlib & Now On..possibly more..

Che you got alot of talent share it with the world.....

Che Grand - I Know You Still Want Me

Don't Sleep On David Orpheus

That Anita Baker sample is dope as hell

Dude is nice!

"How Y'all Doing Tonight?"

Sometimes hearing an artist perform live really conveys the emotion and vibe of a song,But to me it gives much more then that it gives you a feel for the artist themselves.



Hailed as the price of Neo-Soul,D'Angelo has been making songs that have enough soul and honest feeling that they can be played 50 years from now and still have the same impact. If you haven't heard Brown Sugar,Do so...NOW!, Then come back and finish reading this.

Live at the Jazz Cafe, London is a small delight being only 38:56 long all together but don't let that fool you,It's a fantastic CD.

Rather hard to find CD being a Japan Import only, If you come across this, do not hesitate to pick it.

Fun Fact:Angie Stone is singing background vocals.

Tracklisting:

1. Me and Those Dreamin' Eyes of Mine

2. Can't Hide Love
3. Cruisin'
4. Shit, Damn, Motherfucker

5. Lady
6. Brown Sugar

7. Heaven Must Be Like This
