The Jay Dee Pause Remix Suite (Mixtape)


From the good folks over at BamaLoveSoul:

“Jay Dee’s Welcome 2 Detroit was released almost ten years ago to this day! BBE says the album was an inspired work that reflected Dilla’s varied influences which ranged from The Carpenters to Sergio Mendes. Now, a decade later, BamaLoveSoul releases The Pause Remix Suite: a compilation of remixes that honor Jay Dee’s influence on Hip Hop and the musical world at large. We like to think of The Remix Suite in the words of Frank (of Frank N Dank) as, “Brand New Sh!t With a Blend!” Just like Dilla’s influences when crafting Welcome 2 Detroit, this compilation presents many different perspectives to the originally gritty Pause for your listening pleasure. Enjoy!”

New Music: Dillon – ‘Stop’ (prod by Supa Dave West)


To many heads in Atlanta’s underground hip hop scene, this track from Dillon is not exactly new but in this fast paced internet world it could be to many outside of Atlanta. This particular joint appeared on Dillon’s ‘Southern Scramble Dos’ mixtape album that dropped mid December. I had the homie Dillon on the show a few weeks ago along with producer Batsauce & Lady Daisey so if you haven’t heard the interview make sure you check it out HERE. This blog wasn’t in existence in December & I simply I don’t want this quality gem to get overlooked amongst the massive amounts of music out there today. The link to the mixtape is under the hood & I also posted the clean version for hip hop radio DJs that need it as well.

Frank Ocean – Nostalgia, Ultra (Album)


Frank Ocean is a part of the Odd Future collective that’s been getting plenty of attention as of late. I haven’t been too familiar with Odd Future‘s work to begin with so when a new project dropped by one of its members by the name of Frank Ocean I felt like I’d “eventually” get to it.  Didn’t really feel an urgency to check it out right away since I was already not familiar with the collective group’s catalog & it just seemed like unfamiliar fans were about to be bombarded with new material.  When a female friend of mine raved that I should check out Frank Ocean’s new mixtape/street album I decided to give it a spin while doing chores around the crib. I’m glad she put me on to this project because IT IS very good. The problem with the current R&B climate these days is there’s no vulnerability or truthfulness in the music & more often than not doesn’t take any chances.  The lack of genuine feeling in the music could be due to many R&B artists not penning & orchestrating the direction of their own songs.

Frank Ocean’s work feels very personal for it not to be his own heart & soul leaking from his pen. Frank Ocean’s ‘Nostalgia, Ultra’ does what traditional R&B is supposed to do & takes it a step further with some experimentation & genre bending that actually works although he’s at times rocking over a few readily familiar music beds. I believe that was a part of the concept in the first place based on the name of the project.  I’ve included a few tracks for you to check out & you can download the whole project from the main link below. Listen to this project & tell me I’m wrong.  There’s 14 tracks but 4 of them are interludes that connect to the next song.  If you love good music it will grab you right away….

New Music: FEEV – ‘El Pollo Loco’ (Drugs In The Chicken) (Video)

This is dope! One of the key songs from FEEV’s latest project ‘More Forx Than Food’ project that’s out now. This particular song is something to really think about with the foods we could or can only afford to eat. Especially as much as I love chicken. That’s why I shop at places where my chickens aren’t pumped with drugs when I can afford it. Flavor Flav & KFC may have ‘beef’ with this video…haha.

Hometown Hero: The Best Of Big K.R.I.T. Mixtape


The big homie Justin over at Kevinnottingham.com send me this compilation he put together highlighting the best of Mississippi artist & Def Jam signee Big K.R.I.T..  Honestly I’ve never been that familiar with Big K.R.I.T.‘s entire catalog although there have been a few songs here & there that I managed to catch that I thought were cool & some I’ve even played on my radio show like the ‘Hold You Down’ remix he appeared on with Laws & Emilio Rojas. I also dug the ‘Can’t Be All’ joint inspired by Outkast’s earlier sound.  I know Big K.R.I.T. had a lot of buzz prior to signing with Def Jam so this compilation Justin put together should be quite helpful. Admittedly this will help me get up to speed & really dig into what the buzz is really about.  I’ll willingly take a late pass on a good artist then fake the funk on something that was manufactured hype.  The complete tracklisting for the compilation is under the hood. So if your in the same boat as me with trying to catch up then go ahead check it out for yourself & leave your opinions in the comment section…..

Focus… – The Avant Garde Project Special Edition Mixtape

My homie ‘Focus…’ dropped his album ‘The Avant Garde Project’ in May of last year. Recently he dropped this ‘Special Edition’ Mixtape, but I’m not exactly sure what changes if any were made to it. Either way its still a dope ass project. My personal favorite song from this album is ‘The Vow’ on that R&B soul vibe. An extremely talented individual, Focus is arguably one of the illest producers that I know in the game. This project fully illustrates that ‘Focus…’ is more than just a hip hop producer having crafted soundscapes in a wide variety of musical genres. The Avant Garde Project touches upon his ability to weave in & out of those genres rather seamlessly. Some producers just make beats, but ‘Focus’ can do it all from pop, rock, country, soul, & even latin. As a matter of fact Focus has won a Grammy in the Latin category. To preview, listen, or download the mixtape make sure you click on the artwork or the link below! Keep it bangin!
