Gaming/Relationships: Man Marries The Anime Character Of His Dreams (Video)
October 30, 2017
Hmm… file this under, “Naaaah, not crazy at all. Do you, um, player!”
Japanese adult game developer Hibiki Works recently performed a VR assisted wedding between a man and the anime character of his dreams. The wedding – which actually took place in a chapel in Tokyo – was part of Hibiki Works’ promotion of their upcoming game “Niizuma: Lovely x Cation.â€
– Vocativ
So, question: With the virtual wife concept… Would that be ‘death do them part’ after losing one life on the video game; or is this an ‘all lives matter’ situation (like, you have to stay with the new virtual spouse through all your game lives).

Sunni Colón – “Little Things” (Prod. By Kaytranada)
October 26, 2017
Dope! That boom bap slap start, with that slight dirtied-up crackle in the track… might have you ready to click off… but then you hear the jazzy vocals come in incredibly to tie the whole thing down! Nah, you aren’t going anywhere. Turns out all the elements contribute to the enjoyment of this. All those things, all those “Little Things”… matter.

Funk/Soul: Thundercat – “Show You The Way” feat. Michael McDonald x Kenny Loggins (Video)
October 16, 2017
Okay… Thundercat is OUT THERE! See, “Them Changes” was already… er, eccentric. Well, this is a sequel to that; and it is CRAY in the best way. Like features (and actual appearances) from Doobie Bro Michael McDonald and Kenny “Footloose” Loggins. REALLY the best way. Awesomeness from the ’80s travels to the future to continue our tale of the armless Samurai.
(Yeah. Just watch!)

Dope! It’s like they took a bit of the darkness out of that “Animals” video and put the energy into a new jawn (featuring TDE sexy sizzler SZA). This is the video for Maroon 5’s “What Lovers Do.”

Ari Lennox – “Night Drive” (Video)
September 28, 2017
What in “The Grudge” is going on in this “Night Drive” visual? Definitely an eerie Tim Burtony vibe to this vid. But focus maaaan! Ari Lennox is rolling with Dreamville, as in J. Cole’s crew. Nobody but the dopest can fly that flag. Plus, speaking of fly… doesn’t Ari cut quite the sexy silhouette as she is moving and cooing so silky smoothly?

Dance: Towkio – “Hot Shit” (Video)
September 5, 2017
Um, Towkio… What is the Jim Jones is this?? Hahaa! Talk about a dance trance club track. More like an on-beat track for a cult club off the beaten track. Eat your oatmeal and let’s get into this “Hot Shit” here.
Torii Wolf – “Big Big Trouble†(Prod. By DJ Premier)
August 30, 2017
Sheeezzz! The scratches and that beat come in so hard. Dope out the gate, like a DJ Premier beat is apt to be, but then Torii Wolf coumes in with that haunting airy voice… nothing like the combination. Nothing can beat it. DJ Premier and Torii Wolf in “Big Big Trouble.” Torii’s “Flow Riot” is now available for pre-order at iTunes.

Alternative: ALA.NI – “You & I” (Album)
August 27, 2017
Shout to the homie Jess! She hit us with the ALA.NI blessing. Vibe listening for your Sunday enjoyment. Thinking of filing this under Alternative Jazz, but there is something about this artist’s haunting melodies that defies categorization. Hearing a couple of songs on the “You & I” album that would have been right at home on the “Kill Bill” soundtrack though. Case in point: Listen to this “Cherry Blossom” and get a couple of Kill Bill Vol 1 & 2 scenes in your head… fits, right?

Paloma Ford – “Waves” feat. Dave East
July 12, 2017
Wowwww, Paloma Ford is really channeling Miss Jackson – mainly because she’s NASTY – on this track! And all that stuff she’s singing about doing that she’s offering to ‘make a movie’ about… Dave East (with the feature bars) seems to be volunteering to ummm… co-star with her. Ha! Check out “Waves.”
