R&B/Alternative: Phil Beaudreau – “Raid (Enemy)”
April 22, 2013
This is a personal track for Phil Beaudreau, moved to put “Raid (Enemy)” when he heard about the recent Boston Marathon tragedy. This is another instance in which deep suffering yields meaningful art. Hell of a tradeoff. Play the track. Be strong Beantown.
“I was listening to this Madlib track that D Park told me about when I heard the news about the explosions at the finish line of the Boston Marathon. That’s my home that was attacked… I feel like it was personal. This one is for my Bostonians.”
– Phil Beaudreau

R&B/Soul: BamaLoveSoul Presents The “Ladies First” (Mixtape)
April 21, 2013
Much respect to BamaLoveSoul for the crate digging it took to put this “Ladies First” together. Ease back and relax into the grooves of this mix.
‘After much listening and selecting, we bring you a collection of tracks from a handful of ladies who have recently brought a uniqueness of soul to their chosen craft.
Some allow the power in their lilting voices to enhance the lyrics, giving them a striking depth, others eschew flamboyant vocal range in lieu of tighter production and universal feel, while a few opt for bringing both elements together to create a superior overall product. In the end, be it over a heavy produced electronic soundbed, a more traditional Soul/R&B template or with nothing more than a guitar and a microphone, each lady brings their “A Game” and has left us and many others wanting more.’

R&B: Miguel – “How Many Drinks?” feat. Kendrick Lamar (Video)
April 19, 2013
Miguel’s new joint “How Many Drinks” off of his Grammy nominated ‘Kaleidoscope Dream’ album is one of my favorite tracks off of his project. There weren’t many ways to improve on such a dope song, but adding Compton emcee Kendrick Lamar for the remix & within the new video makes it even more of a massive win. Check out the new video above & in case you missed some of the behind-the-scenes footage during the making of this visually stunning video just peep the link below….
