Zikomo – “Champion Riddim”
September 12, 2014
Interesting. Soulection and Stussy ‘let their powers combine’ on this mix project.
We’ve taken dozens of tracks into consideration to curate the finest selection of progressive music from around the world to bring visibility to the future sound. Because there is so much talent out there, it was challenging to pull this compilation together to showcase a progression and cohesive flow that reflects both Stussy and Soulection cultures respectively.
This is Zikomo with “Champion Riddim” off the “The Sound of Tomorrow” – a Soulection and Stussy compilation.

Chuck Brown – “Beautiful Life” (Video)
September 11, 2014
I just need to see your smiling faces at my show… Beautiful Life.
– Chuck Brown
Didn’t know much about Go-Go legend Chuck Brown? Good time to study up. You can get the Cliff’s Notes on the man in the visuals above. This vid for “Beautiful Life” blends light and loving scenes on stage, on the street, with his people… AND a rap by his daughter KK! It’s a beautiful song; and this presentation is a beautiful tribute to Brother Brown. You can get his posthumously-released LP at iTunes now.
R&B: Joe – “If You Lose Her†(Prod. By Derek Allen x Gerald Isaac) [Video]
September 10, 2014
When she’s gone, you’ll know how much she’s worth.
– Joe
Soulful singer Joe has another masterpiece on his hands – “Bridges” – ready for you to get it into your hands (rather, iTunes library). In this new music video for “If You Loser Her†(directed by industry vet Billie Woodruff), Joe starts on stage crooning some of that grown and sexy sound to a lady alone in the venue… as a compelling story concept plays out; beginning with her man coming in late… maybe too late. Gotta watch. Single produced by Derek Allen & Gerald Isaac. Got that album link for you if after that you want to cop.

U2 – “Songs Of Innocence” (Album) [Free To The First 500 Million Downloaders] (Video)
September 10, 2014
The World’s Greatest Band putting the good rock out there for the fans to roll with… for FREE… If you are not yet a fan, get with the [free] program; and get over to iTunes for your copy of U2’s latest!
(Hopefully, ‘supplies’ have not run out.)
Above, the band took to the stage in conjunction with the U2/Apple/iTunes release announcement for “Songs of Innocence.” Hence the clip above, with Tim Cook (CEO of Apple) and Bono (U2 lead singer) making the announcement & countdown to release and a smidgen of performance footage.
“From the very beginning U2 have always wanted our music to reach as many people as possible, the clue is in our name I suppose—so today is kind of mind-blowing to us. The most personal album we’ve written could be shared with half a billion people… by hitting send. If only songwriting was that easy. It’s exciting and humbling to think that people who don’t know U2 or listen to rock music for that matter might check us out.â€
