December 30, 2011
Noel Gourdin talks about his rise in the music industry and highlights the efforts of the team around him for most of his success.

Fat Joe – “Another Round” feat. Chris Brown (Video)
December 26, 2011
Fat Joe drops the official video to his collaborative track with Chris Brown called “Another Round”. I’ve dug this song ever since I first heard it. It’s a bonafide hit & now they have a good video to accompany this joint….Word to Troop
Rashad feat. Styles P – “The Life”
December 23, 2011
Check out this dope joint from Ohio producer & singer Rashad featuring Styles P called “The Life” off of his upcoming “Museum” album that’s about to drop in 2012. Shout out to his manager & my good homie Supa Mariooo who gave me an advance listen of the quality project. Rashad has largely been the background crafting joints for many R&B & hip hop artists over the years, but with his new label Elev8torMusic I’m positive many people will be pleasantly surprised at this “Musuem” album when it drops. Most of us already in the know about how talented Rashad is won’t be surprised at all. ***Paul Wall voice*** “Allllready”

R&B: Rochelle Jordan – Here I Go
December 23, 2011
Now this is a dope song from Toronto’s finest Rochelle Jordan who’s been serving up some impressive work of the last year . Her first free album R O J O was very good & this new jawn called “Here I Go” will be the first single to her next project simply titled R O J O II produced by her go-to producer & collaborator KLASH.

Robin Thicke on Chelsea Lately (Video)
December 23, 2011
Robin Thicke may have been just clowin’ around, but he seemed like he was drunk or high in this interview with Chelsea Lately. Robin Thicke’s new album “Love After War” is out now & it’s pretty good…
R&B/Alternative: Tawiah – Run (EP)
December 19, 2011
British soul singer Tawiah has been the background for many other names in the business for some time now, but she’s slowly creeping out & getting her just due recognition for her talent. The young singer spent a significant time touring the world working as a background vocalist in Mark Ronson’s band in addition to delivering background vocals for Corinne Bailey Rae & sometimes filling in for the late great Amy Winehouse. Having gained significant cosigns & recognition for her voice from artists such as Cee-Lo Green, Mary J. Blige, & Lily Allen, it wasn’t long before she signed a new deal with Warner Bros records. Tawiah is undoubtedly stepping out from the background with her new 5 song EP entitled “Run” that serves up as an appetizer before her first full length project is to drop sometime in 2012. This new EP is her second self-financed project since the one she dropped in February of last year called “In Jodi’s Bedroom”. Check out the title track from the EP below plus one of my favorite joints from her which is a remix to “Breakaway” off of her soundcloud page. Check out her new video for “Little Drummer Boy” that also appears on the new EP under the hood….

R&B/Jazz: Freddie Joachim – Patiently EP
December 15, 2011
I’ve been letting this new Freddie Joachim EP “Patiently” run a few times today while working. It’s a dope 5 song EP of soulful & jazzy instrumentals that serve as a nice appetizer to his next project “Fiberglass Kisses” due early 2012 on Mellow Orange Music. Freddie Joachim released this project late November & is donating proceeds from the sale of the EP to charity for the holidays. Check out some snippets from the project below or just go on ahead & download the full songs from his page. No singers or rap artists needed for this joint right here. Trust me you won’t be disappointed. I’ll be giving this EP significant spins until his next project drops. Until then we’ll be “Patiently” waiting for it…
R&B/Soul: Ishe’ – “Genesis” (Prod. By Hassaan Mackey)
December 15, 2011
Nice Herbie Hancock inspired & almost off beat/on beat joint produced by Rochester New York producer & emcee Hassaan Mackey. When he’s not out on tour with Maryland producer Kev Brown or crafting joints with his Detroit partner Apollo Brown as 1/2 of Daily Bread, he’s creating joints like these off of a brand new MPC he says he recently purchased. To make this jawn complete he reached out to San Diego’s own Ishe’ via twitter to bless the track vocally. It’s dope how social media can afford artists to collaborate with each other significantly easier…

R&B/Alternative: The Internet – “Cocaine (Little Dragon Remix)”

R&B/Soul: Dezaray Dawn – “B-Tween The Lines”
December 6, 2011
Futuristic soul artist & Atlanta resident Dezaray Dawn’s music often feels like you’re traveling the world without physically moving anywhere. This may have been a subconscious effort in crafting her own sonic DNA since she was born in Germany & has lived in a multitude of cities in the U.S. & around the world before eventually settling here in Atlanta at the age of 16. Her musical roots apparently run even deeper as she is also the cousin of soul singer Anthony David, Shawn Stockman of Boyz II Men, & Tiny who is the current wife of rap artist T.I. & former singer with the all girl group Xscape. Dezaray’s time as a DJ in a few clubs spinning progressive soul & other influences may have also helped shape her sound as well. Dezaray let loose this joint “B-Tween The Lines” for the fans, but those of you trying to catch up to her talents should peep her Deep EP produced by Marc Mac. The joint “Sail Away” is a joint I’ve had on repeat several times too…

R&B: CJ Hilton – “Cold Summer” (Video)
December 6, 2011
Baltimore singer & songwriter CJ Hilton has been doing his thing with several of the the R&B joints he’s dropped over the past few months. This joint right here I’ve even played on my hip hop show a few times because it’s just that dope. This joint produced by Salaam Remi has been a favorite in my itunes too since it dropped last month…
Stacy Barthe – “Never Did” (Video)
December 6, 2011
Songwriter Stacy Barthe is largely known behind the scenes for penning some great songs for Rihanna & numerous artists in the music business. Not surprisingly the songs she wrote for Rihanna were the only one’s I dug from Rihanna the most. Now Stacy Barthe is stepping out from behind the scenes of her Surf Club writing team to focus on her own singing talents in releasing this new video for “Never Did” off of her “Sincerely Yours, Stacy Barthe” EP. Personally I would like to see her have a creative video for “Without You” featuring Frank Ocean or “The Only One” which are my personal favorites from her EP. But after watching this video she maybe doing just that in setting up all the songs in parts like a short film of sorts…
Anthony Hamilton – “Woo” (Video)
December 1, 2011
North Carolina’s most soulful singer Anthony Hamilton hits us with the new video his new single “Woo” off of his forthcoming album “Back To Love” dropping on December 13th. Although his signature is not readily recognizable in the song compared to others he’s crafted, Babyface produced this new single for Anthony Hamilton. Cool video & the sexy female detective in the clip is like “Wooooo”…(Warren G in “Regulate” voice at 3:10 mark)
R&B: Michael Francis – Make Love
December 1, 2011
New Jersey singer & songwriter Michael Francis is batting a 1,000 with the R&B joints I’ve heard him drop so far. One of his previously released songs entitled “Woman” has been getting alot of play from me on the ipod. Michael Francis was supposed to have dropped a full length project called “Cold Heart Chronicles” that I believe may been delayed at this point, but with good R&B joints like these I’m not mad at the kid. He’s offering advance copies of his full length project over at his website.
Ryan Leslie – “Beautiful Lie” (Video)
November 30, 2011
R&B artist Ryan Leslie took it to Paris for the first single off of his “Les Is More” visual album. He’s poised to drop a total of ten videos for the project in its entirety. After watching this joint, which I do dig from a visual & musical perspective, I almost didn’t notice that he’s doing more rapping than singing on this jawn….
R&B/Soul: Raheem DeVaughn – “Lotus Flower Bomb”
November 29, 2011
Raheem DeVaughn is one of the few R&B/Soul dudes in the game that can take a hot record & make it his own. Wale’s “Lotus Flower Bomb” joint featuring Miguel is quality record that sometimes I wished was just an R&B joint. Have no fear as Wale’s fellow D.C. native Raheem DeVaughn didn’t waste any time to crank back up his “Jackin’ For Beats” mixtape series with his take on Wale’s hit record…
