A Yellow Man – “3000 Miles Of Youth” (Video)
May 7, 2012
I was put up on this group called “A Yellow Man” by producer Tall Black Guy’s manager Chaka. It’s always dope when good people put you up on new music you never heard before. After peeping this new video I started to do more research of this group with the native tongues type of vibe, jazzy production, & cool message that flows in tandem with their distinctly european dialects. Check out more from this group under the hood…

R&B/Soul: Freddie Joachim — “Keep Lovin’ feat. Carlitta Durand
May 7, 2012
Hip Hop, Soul, & Jazz producer Freddie Joachim does it again with another quality soulful R&B banger. I’m lovin’ this new track featuring North Carolina songstress Carlitta Durand called “Keep Lovin'” that will appear on Freddie Joachim’s new project “Fiberglass Kisses” dropping later this month. There’s also a cool remix to this joint produced by Eric Lau that just hit on itunes as well. Based off of this dope single & the soulful Eric Lau remix I heard I know I’ll be in line for when the album drops.

R&B: Quincy – “Stay Awhile” feat. Kendre (Video)
May 7, 2012
While finishing up two of my R&B mixtapes I’ve been working on I ran across this song that I had on repeat several times because it sounded that good. I was surprised to find out that this new artist Quincy is in fact the biological son of Al B. Sure & his mother is former model Kim Porter. Quincy credited Sean “Diddy” Combs as being his real father figure in previous interviews, but it appears he’s off to a very good start in making some quality music. I’m pleasantly surprised that this song is that dope especially considering I didn’t even know who the artist was until after the fact. Overall the song has a timeless R&B feel musically that anyone of any age could appreciate. Now that’s quality… @Quincy

Thee Tom Hardy – “Show Me Your Hands” (Prod. By Jaisu)
May 7, 2012
One of my favorite newcomers from North Carolina Thee Tom Hardy drops this new joint instructing fans to “Show Me Your Hands” like a stick up kid. The song is slated to appear on his upcoming project “Guerilla Broadcast” that’s due to drop independently sometime this month. Supposedly Thee Tom Hardy is no longer down with 9th Wonder’s Jamla label, but his talent is far too superior to be denied in my opinion. As long as he keeps choosing the right beats, keep the truth & honestly in his music, & doesn’t dumb down the lyricism then he’ll be perfectly fine.

Atlanta based emcee Adrift Da Belle leaks a new track called “What Do I Want” from her upcoming mixtape with the Street Execs titled “Drift Chronicles”. After appearing on the Beatz & Lyrics Show with us last night she made it clear that this particular project will be more personal as she’s had a lot to speak about within the past year. This was definitely one of the key songs I’ve been digging from the ‘Drift Chronicles’ project that officially drops on May 8th.
