Vintage Tux – “Piece of Mind” (Video)
February 28, 2012
Peep the new jam “Piece of Mind” from my brethren from Tallahassee, FL featuring local songstress Socorro.The group Vintage Tux consists of emcee/producer M.E.R.C, dj/producer Seven Cypher,dj/producer Ish, deejay AtotheL, and distant relative deejay Maniac Magee. The concept behind the group is to bring a new refreshing sound to hip hop but with a vintage feel to it. This video, also directed by Vintage Tux, addresses what many of us face in this country when money is low,work is scarce, bills got to get paid, and thoughts of getting on your grizzly comes to mind. Be on the look for more dopeness from this sunshine state group.Enjoy

Tabernacle Mcz – “Silly” (Produced by Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra CreativePartners) [Video]
February 28, 2012
Now this jam “Silly” from midwest duo Tabernacle MCz is a hilarious joint that I know most of us can definitely relate to when “chasing the cat”. In the spirit of Slick Rick the duo trade tales of trying win the affection and hearts of different harlots from their past over this banger produced by Shafiq Husayn of Sa-Ra Creative Partners. I always love when artists take a break from being super hard, super thugs (word to Noreaga), and take a more lighthearted approach to making music, especially when it comes to the opposite sex. Enjoy

Esperanza Spalding feat. Algebra Blessett – “Black Gold” (Video)
February 28, 2012
If you need a little uplifting in the mist of your daily trials, this joint “Black Gold” by the beautiful,regal,talented virtuoso jazz bassist/singer Esperanza Spalding featuring the equally beautiful and talented Atlanta native soul singer Algebra Blessett will provide that. The video is awesome in depicting a father taking the time to teach his sons about their proud African heritage then taking them to a local block party to enjoy some good tunes. As corny as it may seem to some, we need more positive songs and images for the youth to see and digest. Esperanza Spalding’s new album Radio Music Society releases March 20th, be sure to cop that when it drops….

Georgia Anne Muldrow – “Seeds” (Video)
February 28, 2012
Here are thee first visuals from Georgia Anne Muldrow’s upcoming album Seeds that is entirely produced by Madlib. The part time emcee/producer/soul singer has always been pretty abstract when it came to her visual representations & this latest one manifests a 70’s Grace Jones type of feel to it.Georgia Anne and Madlib happen to be 2 of my favorite artists, so I am looking forward to what they chef’d up in the lab for this project. The album drops for your audio pleasure March 27th.

Rashad – “The Return” (Video)
February 27, 2012
If you follow me on the radio pretty closely you may have remembered me playing this song from Rashad called “The Return”. My homie Supa Mariooo who represents Rashad gave me an advance copy of the very dope “Museum” album from the singer, writer, & producer & “The Return” was one of the standout tracks I told them they should make a single. I ran several dope tracks on the radio with their permission & I’m glad to see they appreciated my input. The video was shot in one take, in Columbus Ohio & represents a return to real music & a golden age that has been long forgotten. Can’t wait for y’all to hear the rest of this very dope album….
