R&B/Soul: Raheem DeVaughn – “Freedom Fighter” (Mixtape)
November 1, 2011
Soul singer Raheem DeVaughn taps into the consciousness of what’s going on around the country & the world with his new mixtape “Freedom Fighter”. This socially conscious project finds Raheem following in almost the same path as fellow D.C. native Marvin Gaye’s socially relevant athems like “What’s Going On?” & “Mercy Me (The Ecology).” Perhaps this particular project was inspired by Raheem DeVaughn’s recent arrest in D.C. during the Occupy D.C. movement alongside Dr. Cornel West who also appears on the mixtape. Additional features include Chrisette Michele, Damian Marley, DJ Jazzy Jeff, Jill Scott, Minister Louis Farrakhan, Anthony Hamilton, & many others. Check out the complete tracklisting under the hood…

Just in time for Halloween producer Tall Black Guy and singer Renee Dion remix MJ’s classic track.
Ishe + Hezekiah Speak ‘From the Soul’ On The New Content (Video)
October 30, 2011
Ishe & Hezekiah’s musical offering, The Ishe + Hezekiah Project, was a soulfully solid album that dropped last June. A key song I still keep on repeat every now & then is their joint “Pressure” that I believe was their lead single before the album was released. In this interview for The New Content they speak on how they met considering he’s also an emcee from Philly & she’s a vocalist repping for San Diego. Ishe & Hezekiah also build upon the recording process behind their debut album as a group.  If you’re running behind on this joint I suggest you go to their bandcamp page or itunes & download the album. I’ve also posted a link to the Georgia Ann Muldrow remix of “Hold On” below as well…

R&B: Michael Francis – “Woman”
October 30, 2011
Been seeing a few people talking about this new artist from California by the name of Michael Francis. Apparently he’s a singer who also happens to be a rap artist as well. Supposedly he’s only released about 4 songs that I’m currently aware of, but this is the first song I actually heard from him & I was rather impressed with this R&B joint. The lyrics to this song, if I’m hearing them correctly, seem rather interesting as well…from a guy’s perspective. I’ll definitely check to see if he has more quality joints like this one on his upcoming project “Cold Heart Chronicles” when it drops tomorrow October 31st.
Jill Scott feat. Paul Wall – So Gone (What My Mind Says) [Video]
October 29, 2011
When Jill Scott’s “Light Of The Sun” album dropped I recall my interest in hearing this track first because of the unexpected pairing of Paul Wall & Jill on a song together. It’s another one of those couplings that the average fan wouldn’t really expect that still comes off pretty good. I remember feeling the same way on the hip hop side of things when Paul Wall teamed up with another Philly artist in his “State To State” collaboration with Freeway. This joint is the second official video from Jill Scott off of the “Light Of The Sun” album that’s out now.

R&B: T-Pain – “Fantasy” feat. Dawn (Video)
October 29, 2011
New video from T-Pain featuring Dawn Robinson off the rEVOLVEr mixtape he dropped in preparation for the official rEVOLVEr album due December 6th…
Ne-Yo – “The Way You Move” feat. T-Pain & Trey Songz (Video)
October 27, 2011
I’m really diggin’ the visual aspects of this new Ne-Yo joint. All too often we see videos of artists spending money in the strip clubs, but this joint right here has a certain level of “James Bond” type of class to it. This makes every “average rapper in the strip club throwing money video” appear like a visual hole in the wall. By the interior of the building it looks like they shot this video here in Atlanta at the new Diamonds which is one of the newer strip clubs among a hundred of them around city. The video makes me dig the song even more…
R&B: Trey Songz – “Find A Place”
October 27, 2011
Nice smooth joint from Trey Songz from his upcoming free R&B mixtape “Anticipation II” dropping on November 1st. I thoroughly enjoyed Trey Songz’s first “Anticipation” mixtape that he released for free two years ago & hopefully he’ll get back to that vibe that most of us early adopters grew to like from him. This song right here is a good start, but hopefully he’ll keep the profanity to a minimum & get on some real love based themes on the final product. Call me old school but I don’t want to hear too much cursing in my R&B joints…

Coultrain – ‘Green’ (Tall Black Guy Remix)
October 21, 2011
Producer Tall Black Guy does an excellent job with this soulful remix of Coultrain’s already dope “Green” joint. I like the original version, but I LOVE this remix right here. Tall Black Guy gives it a little more bounce & sway without losing the most important & essential part of the song which is rooted in its soulfulness.
Fat Joe – ‘Another Round’ feat. Chris Brown
October 21, 2011
Fat Joe is back with a new single featuring Chris Brown that’s definitely geared to the ladies. I believe this new joint called “Another Round” is a bonafide hit record primarily because savvy music heads can pick up the subtle influence from a previous hit record. I believe many brothers may dig this joint if they’re old enough to remember the classic Troop joint I Will Always Love You. It sounds like they either sampled the Troop record or was influenced by that classic R&B record from that first dropped back in 1989.
Jhene’ Aiko – “My Mine” (Video)
October 21, 2011
Dope new video for Jhene Aiko’s song “My Mine” off of her equally as dope Sailing Soul(s) album that dropped back in March of this year. It was one of the better R&B albums released this year & it was a FREE album. I’m just surprised that this is only the second video she dropped for the project as the year draws to a close.

Rochelle Jordan – “Shot”
October 20, 2011
Toronto native Rochelle Jordan has been dropping some quality joints that have me automatically checking for her when something new drops. She consistently stays on my radar. I’m expecting nothing but great things in the future from this singer from the T.Dot. Consistent quality R&B music right here. In case you still need to get caught up I suggest you go back & download or listen to her free album “Rojo” from her website.
Jesse Boykins III – I Can’t Stay (Video)
October 20, 2011
R&B/Soul Singer Jesse Boykins III drops another video to appease fans of good soul for the single “I Can’t Stay” produced by Gold Panda off of his “Way Of A Wayfarer” EP that he released for free a few months back. Unlike many R&B artists in the game today, this Chicago kid continues to be true to himself, his sound, his style & offered this about the song….
“The more you learn who you are as an individual, the more you are able to sense who really values your love & that’s why I couldn’t stay” – Jesse Boykins III
CJ Hilton – “Cold Summer”
October 19, 2011
CJ Hilton continues to impress me with each & every joint that he drops. Not sure if many of the songs I’ve heard from the Baltimore kid are leaks or official releases of any sort, but his type of Hip Hop soul never loses its concrete grittiness while maintaining a certain integrity to the R&B genre as evident in the lyrics & vocals. This particular joint is almost reminiscent of the vibe that D’angelo used to bring in straddling that line between R&B, Soul, & Hip Hop. This joint right here was produced by Salaam Remi who has crafted many quality joints from Nas & many others in the game. Summer is over, but you’d never know that based on the amount of heat that CJ Hilton has been consistently dropping…
R&B/Soul: DJ Jazzy Jeff & Ayah – “Forgive Me Love” (Video)
October 18, 2011
New visuals from DJ Jazzy Jeff and Ayah’s Back for More project. Really dope R&B/Soul project that they released for free. If you’re behind on this quality music then you need to listen Up!!
Erykah Badu – ‘Out of My Mind, Just in Time: Movement II’ (Video)
