Planet Asia- “Golden State” (Video)
February 6, 2012
I am going to go out on a limb and say Planet Asia’s upcoming album Black Belt Theatre is going to be the album of the year(remember I said it). He has been consistently dropping quality songs with creative concepts and images for the past few years now without much recognition. However, I think the stars are aligned for P. A Medallions to start getting his due as a top notch artist that he deserves.The first single “Golden State” has that “Black Dynamite”, “The Mack”, right on soul brother #1 feel to it with some throwback style visuals. If the Fresno, Cali emcee ain’t on your radar you need to put him there……

D’Angelo Performs First Live Show in 11 Years (Video)
January 27, 2012
The soulful voice behind classic albums Brown Sugar and Voodoo seems to be finally back after an 11 year hiatus. Even though D’Angelo’s absence had much more to do with personal troubles than lack of musical inspiration,it looks like the good brother is back on the right track. He was spotted at Filadelfiakyrkan in Stockholm, Sweden performing new joints along with classic joints like “Chicken Grease” and “Shit, Damn, Motherfucker” to a lively crowd, with the energy and passion that we grown accustomed to from D’Angelo. I also see the homie Kendra Foster doing her thing signing background!! No word on an album just yet, but things are looking up. We need you D!!!

New Joint: Co-Op – ‘Rap Money’ (Video)
June 13, 2011
Check out this pretty dope joint from husband(The Rapture) and wife(Money Stax) duo Co-Op. Once you get over the fact that this is not a corny husband/wife gimmick or publicity stunt, you realize that this is actually a pretty dope idea, being that both are serious emcee’s and they both are pretty vicious on the mic. Reppin Dallas and New Jersey respectively, be on the look out for more from this talented group.

South Africa’s ‘Nonku Phiri’ Is A New Artist To Watch
February 3, 2011
Last year I touched down in South Africa for the first time ever. Whenever I visit any country I always keep my eyes & ears open to new music & talent. A month or two after I had already left I heard a song from a female artist that I thought was rather dope & tried to track down more of her music to get it on my ipod. The song I had been looking for was called “Zooot” by a young female artist by the name of ‘Nonku Phiri’ who is a native of Capetown, South Africa. I could tell she has plenty of raw natural talent & I’ve even peeped some of her stuff that appeared to be freestyles of unfinished work but sounded like it was fleshing out well. She’s been writing her own songs from what I’ve learned. A few of the songs I heard sounded like freestyles over the popular UK Garageband sounds but I get the impression ‘Nonku Phiri’ has immense potential to be successful on a variety of soundscapes. Recently she linked up with DJ Rasta Root & there’s talk of them possibly doing an EP together. I’ve been telling Rasta Root I think she could make some impact beyond South Africa on an international type level. With quality production & the right songs in this internet based era she could generate more fans tracking down her work the same way I sought out this particular Hip Hop Soul joint from her called “Zooot”. Follow Nonku Phiri on twitter at @nonkulululu
