Mýa – “Down” (Prod. By MyGuyMars) [Video]

Mmm mm mm! And OMG! Is Mýa just gonna stay hot and make hot music forever? Looks like it. And speaking of looks… WOW! Is Mýa actually asking if I am “Down” with visuals like this? That’s a rhetorical question, right?

DJ Yogi – A Soulful Tape (Insomniac Show #53) [Mixtape]

He’s back! Well, he never left. To be honest, I have been lax in keeping up with the output of the homie DJ Yogi (Yogi, Yogi, Yogi). My bad. But dude stays putting up dope mix shows like this on the Mixcloud. If you are on that, you should follow him there. One of the best on that platform #RESPECT #ALLCAPS #nocap

Anderson .Paak – “Come Home” feat. Andre 3000

This is the collab that will draw most heads to the “Ventura” LP. My opinion. But probably facts by now. In fact, I’m betting you are going to give this a spin just to hear 3 Stacks go in on the feature for Anderson.

Sammy Smylez – “Say I Do” (Prod. By P.S. Beats) [Video]

Sammy Smylez is back! This time he is dolo on this “Say I Do” track, but not in life. Warning: This might tug at your heartstrings; almost enough to make you wish cuffing season was a little bit longer.

Almost… Ha!

But seriously, this is a really sweet vid I think you’ll enjoy.

Lion Babe – “Western World” feat. Raekwon (Video)

Okay, Lion Babe! I see you. Have not seen anything on here since last year around this time from her… I gotta take the hit for that. Rare beauty. Rare talent. Dope on her own. But here, in “Western World,” she is also dope by association. Raekwon on the feature and cosign backs the facts!

Dawn Richard – “sauce” (Prod. By Cole M.G.N. x Hudson Mohawke) [Video] (NSFW)

Oh my damn! Dawn Richard has undergone another full transformation into a “new breed” on us. I would say this video is sexy AF but that just doesn’t do it justice. So hot I am SWEATING! The concepts and the lyrics alone would get a Not Safe For Work rating, but then add the may-as-well-be-naked visuals and wowzerrrrs!

Don’t watch this “sauce” video at your desk. You have been warned.

Check out the Editor’s Note from iTunes on Dawn’s latest album after the jump… after you watch this a couple of times!

Mýa – “With You” feat. My Guy Mars (Video)

Smooth and easy. Still hot! Like Mýa after all these years. She just doesn’t age, but the content stays ‘grown-up’ (though the feature by My Guy Mars is more like ‘what the kids are into nowadays’).

India Arie – “That Magic” (Video)

I checked: We have not posted on India Arie since 2013. Bet your bottom dollar that she’s still got “That Magic” though. Or you could just watch her latest video above. No need to guess or gamble.

(Man oh man. Whoever inspired this song is a lucky dude. India is singing life to him… to all brothers.)

Ray J Speaks On Putting ‘Old Controversy’ Behind Him And Moving On To Raycon And Family Business (Video)

Wow. Why would Ray J start by assigning a ‘side’ role to himself? At least call yourself an ‘honorable co-host.’ How about ‘business man?’

Ray J On Expanding Raycon Global, Fatherhood And Staying Drama-Free
– Breakfast Club Power 105.1 FM

Raycon, eh? Okay, Ray, get your hustle on and on to the next level. Was not aware before. Now that I am, I am not mad.

NPR’s Tiny Desk Concert Series Presents: H.E.R. (Video)

A whole lot less stand-offish and enigmatic for this Tiny Desk set, as she should be, H.E.R. treats the intimate gathering of souls to warm blend of R&B and Soul, peppered with moments of Hip-Hop adjacent styled delivery. Enjoy!

Cool shades. Cute singer 😉
