Judah: "We wanted to do something that just showed my appreciation for some of the dj's that have been instrumental in the success of my single 'Sundresses and Sandals.' I wanted something simple, yet precise in what I was trying to share."

Mike Lights Interview

From the home of the Tarheels to Chocolate City is Mike Lights, the new addition to hip-hop's latest surge of pop-friendly cool kids from the suburbs. Recently, I checked him out at a private listening party for his new mixtape dropping on August 3Oth. He looks the part, sporting a mohawk and skinny jeans with a healthy bravado. But the question remains: Can he rise as a premiere talent in the The District and ultimately the world? In my interview with Mike Lights he explains why the odds may be on his side.

Curtiss King - Jet Pack on E (mixtape)



Curtiss King caught our attention through out this year with previous projects like the TV Themes Flippes Vol. 1 and Vol. 2.
So off top we heard how dope he was as a producer. Now check him out on his own project as an MC as well.

He really does Go In on this mixtape pretty damn tough. So there's no reason to sleep on this kat right here. Check out cuts like track #9 My Wife ft. Willie B, where they refer to music being their better half.

And also, track #6 Light The Fire ft. Hardwerk, Noa James & FaimKills. The beat is tough, and Hardwerk has to be one of my favorite MC's this year... so I'm definitely feeling this one.

Janelle Monae- Cold War (video)



I feel like this video isn't going to get the Well Deserved attention that it should get. Further more, her album isn't getting the attention that it should get. I can't stress to you enough how talented & brilliant she is! We haven't had a REAL artists like this in some time, and I've seen her perform live and she gives it her all every show from what I've seen and heard. Yet audiences, even in person, still do not give her the earned undivided attention.



Anyway, for those who don't know, this is her latest single off of her recent album. The video came out recently and I haven't seen it rotated ANYWHERE as of yet. Not even on my favorite VH1 Soul.

So I wanted to post it just in case you haven't seen it as of yet.

If you yourself have listened to the album, please by all means leave me some comments and share your thoughts.

Carolyn Malachi (review) by Bobby Marvin

Lions, Fires & Squares EP (music review)



Carolyn Malachi is what I like to call a musical busy bee, constantly working on intertwining rhythm and sound until it is perfect. On her first two efforts she was able to calm the noise with her soulful freshman and sophomore albums, Revenge of the Smart Chicks and Revenge of the Smart Chicks II: Ambitious Gods, but on her Lions, Fires, & Squares EP (LFS) something different happens. For the moment the incense is blown out and the bass is turned up….ladies and gentlemen Malachi wants to party!

No surprise to fans, Malachi continues to be ambitious with her music. The fusion of
jazz and hip-hop is her signature sound. However, this time around the "District Lioness" roars with a pop sound sprinkled with soul.

Comprised of six tracks of originals and remixes, one of LFS’s highlights is "Textual" featuring South African hip-hop artist HHP. This playful party ode to non-verbal communication in the 21st century. In a telephone voice-effect, Malachi keeps it simple for loquacious men: she is press for time, so a text message will suffice champ.

Very rarely do I hear independent artists with commercial appeal and innovation but
Textual pulls it off. It's fun, club-friendly and details teenagers favorite past time. Hopefully, radio stations will pay attention.

And of course the dynamics of love is still on her mind as heard on "Orion". This track provides that easy listening that we all have grown accustom to hearing from Malachi. With a sexy and monotone flow reminiscent of Bahamadia, she takes a break from crooning and raps a verse on the bridge:
The weaknesses I carry when we shoulder to shoulder/ Strolling kosher/Love is a favored complexion-olive/A tan green I guess I’m easy to pass over/An easy rewrite/A salty evite

The "Orion Way Left Remix" by Kokayi is good with it's electro fast pace beat, but I'm partial to the original. Easily Lions, Fires, & Squares is the soundtrack for summer nights. The only truly upsetting moment about this EP is that it ends so early, but it's definitely a good prelude of what’s to come.


THE OFFICIALLY RELEASE AVAILABLE ON ITUNES JULY 30TH.
