Theophilus London – “Rio” feat. The Menahan Street Band
April 11, 2013
When I saw that Theophilus London had a new song called “Rio” I knew it had to be something good. Brazil is one of my favorite places to visit on the planet so I’m not surprised many artists are inspired by the country & the city of Rio De Janiero to touch upon it in their music….
‘“Rio” was written about my trip to Brazil in 2010. i never forgot the memories. felt like i had to dedicate a song to keep that memory alive.’

Fabolous – ‘Ready’ ft. Chris Brown (Video)
April 11, 2013
The Brooklyn emcee Fabolous takes it back to his Dominican roots by shooting his latest video “Ready” in the Dominican Republic. The premise of the clip featuring Chris Brown reminds me of a few people I know personally who’ve married a few ladies from that beautiful country. Kinda of like a Cinderella story if you will. Be on the lookout for Fab’s next project “Loso’s Way 2: Rise To Power” dropping June 18th…

R&B/Alternative: The Supremes – “Stop! In The Name Of Love” (Yoroku Saki Remix)
April 9, 2013
Okay, so take the Supreme’s joint and slow it down to a moan. Then simplify and air out the track with synth and chimes. That’ll work.
‘Here’s a gift from me to you! Enjoy!’ – Yoroku Saki
So… what do you think? Not much on Saki on the interwebs yet. Peeped the Facebook page About section and got ‘I manipulate air particles.’ Oookay. Interesting sounds on his ‘Cloud though.
