R&B: Usher – “Good Kisser” (Video)
May 10, 2014
Yep. Count on a video with extra Honey from Usher. Could have dubbed this an Eye Candy post. But there is the music. It’s good! Sure wish someone would toss bruh a shirt though (maybe one of the ladies…hmmm). “Good Kisser” is out on iTunes now.
Vinyl Destination | Ep. 9 ‘Kid Cudi Bath Time Music’ On Season 2 With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
May 9, 2014
“Nasty Nas Milkshake…” “…This milkshake is CRAZY!”
RESPECT to Vinyl Destination’s production crew for dropping in that “Room Test” by Dayne Jordan (fi-yah!) into this Episode 9 soundtrack right from the jump!
(Oh, and don’t think we missed Episode 8… it’s after the jump, mickey fickeys!)
DJ Jazzy Jeff, Skillz and the crew on to the next one… on to the next one… on their European tour. Manchester. Brussels. Zurich. Several destinations for this episode of Vinyl Destination. Fine and good… but this travel situation is kinda eff’d up (good shake though). Truth: Touring is not always first class travel and 5 star meals. Work life on the road. But a warm bath while listening to some Kid Cudi makes it all better, of course (wait, what?).

R&B: Raheem DeVaughn – “King Of Loveland 2” (Mixtape)
May 6, 2014
Whose ready for a revist to ‘Loveland’ (hint: you’d better be, because your girl is)? This “King Of Loveland 2” from Raheem DeVaughn has some newness (and remixes) but the proven formula is still in place. Get this and get your ‘quality together time’ in with somebody.

May 6, 2014
My homegirl Estelle speaks up about her upcoming album in the fall and the slightly more sexual lyrics from her latest EP, Love and Happiness Vol 3. As a grown woman with a diverse background, we love to see that she knows what levels to accept in the music business and the bedroom.

Mr. Sonny James (aka DJ Statik) – “Days Of Gray” [Mixtape]
April 22, 2014
Of course, our posting something means we think it is good and/or relevant… It’s an endorsement. And we don’t endorse just anything. But this endorsement of “Days Of Gray” – a mix by Mr. Sonny James – should be taken with a bit more weight because of who else says so. Turns out that Mr. Sonny James (aka DJ Statik) is #6 on DJ Jazzy Jeff’s “Your Favorite DJ’s Favorite Deejays” list! For real. You may start partying, knowing that Jeff (and JayForce.com) approves.

R&B: Jhené Aiko – “Comfort Inn Ending” (Freestyle) [Video]
April 16, 2014
“Why would you call it love when you knew it wasn’t?” – Jhené Aiko
Uh ohhh. Hell hath NO fury… like a woman scorned… or crying… or ready to scratch and scorch your sh!t. But the music and vibe for this Jhené Aiko video for “Comfort Inn Ending” (Freestyle) is still hella nice. And Aiko… still hella cute. Keep your keys in your pocket though.

R&B/Soul: Denitia x Sene – “Divided.†(Video)
April 15, 2014
Brooklyn based duo Denitia and Sene released their video for “Divided” – the soulful earful we posted on here. Visuals for “Divided” were directed by Joel Kefali, who was also responsible for Lorde’s “Tennis Courts” and “Royals” videos. Nice work.
Yasiin Gaye – “B Stands For Beef” (Soul Mates Tribute)
April 14, 2014
Word to the wise, my ‘digger’… Don’t sleep on these Yasiin Gaye releases. RIAA (you know, the Grammy folks) has been having the nice releases taken down due to ‘copyright violations.’ But if you are on top of things you’ll have scooped up hot ones (for FREE) like this before anyone could take them down anyway, right? Boooo… RIAA. Could call it hate. Not beef though.
“Beef don’t come with a radio edit.” First leak from Yasiin Gaye – The Return (Side Two).

This is another Yasiin Bey x Marvin Gaye (Yasiin Gaye) mashup from Amerigo Gazaway entitled “B Stands For Beef” (Soul Mates Tribute).

Yasiin Gaye (Yasiin Bey x Marvin Gaye) – “Ms. Fat Booty”
April 10, 2014
Already know… you heard talk of someone messing with Mos Def’s classic “Ms. Fat Booty” and went “Don’t touch our sh–!” Oh, Yasiin Bey and Marvin Gaye (conceptually collectivized as Yasiin Gaye) are taking a shot at the title? Interesting… Amerigo Gazaway is on to something: putting these ‘Soul Mates’ together, Marvin’s track fitted with Bey (then as Mos) lyrics. Nice.

Erykah Badu x Hi-Tek – “Honey” (Duncan Gerow Blend)
April 6, 2014
BamaLoveSoul gave much love and propers to Alaska-based producer, Duncan Gerow, for his latest Erykah Badu / Hi-Tek blend. We give respect to BamaLoveSoul for sharing the wealth and bringing this jewel of a joint to our attention. FREE download below!
Gerow skillfully places Badu’s vocals over one of my favorite Hi-Tek produced beats. It quickly reminded me that Erykah actually did do an official remix to Reflection Eternal‘s lead single “The Blast†but I always felt like I got robbed a little bit cause all she was relegated to were hook duties. So to hear this blend gives my imagination free license to wander/wonder a bit as to what she could have done on this track with a little more leash and leg room.

R&B/Soul: Denitia x Sene – “Divided.”
April 2, 2014
There’s a period in the title. Artists… we left it there.
New music from Denitia and Sene entitled “Divided.” Produced by Christian Rich. Good stuff as always (explore earlier posts from Denitia and Sene here).
Vinyl Destination | Ep. 6 ‘Days Off’ On Season 2 With The Magnificent DJ Jazzy Jeff (Video)
March 29, 2014
They don’t fake or front on Vinyl Destination, at all. However, DJ Jazzy Jeff’s crew don’t spend days off like the average… Then again, they kinda do. Check out Episode 6 of Season 2. You’ll get it. Let’s start in London. O2 Arena. They take in a comedy show. Russell Peters, funny dude. Do they have backstage passes? Kinda. They roll up backstage WITH Peters going to rock the Arena!
Vinyl Destination … ‘Days Off’ … Don’t hate. Enjoy!

R&B: Elle Varner – “See Me Tonightâ€
March 28, 2014
Mmm… Dammit, Elle Varner. Just take our wallets. Eye candy crooning some smooth ear candy called “See Me Tonight” – the latest from Elle’s #4LetterWord series.
Don’t let ’em see you cry, baby. But DO peep the montage Elle’s got over at Instagram though. Nice.

DJ LV, inspired by Pharrell, is ‘Happy’ to be a ‘Daddy’ (Video)
March 27, 2014
Atlanta by way of Oakland turntable master, DJ LV, got inspired by Pharrell’s popular hit ‘Happy’ & flipped it into a song & video to speak on how overjoyed the man is in being a father. I already know there are many good dads out there even amongst my immediate circle, but far too often society doesn’t celebrate these guys enough. I guess this is DJ LV’s way of doing that for what Chris Rock would describe as the ‘Father’s Day, Big Chicken eating, unsung heroes’ who love & do right by their kids.
