On Tuesday, October 12th, Von Pea (of Tanya Morgan) will release his debut solo album and celebrate with a release party at SOB's. If you haven't heard it, check out "The Yorker", the lead single off the album, Pea's Gotta Have It at www.tanyamorgan.net. Also performing on the show, and showing their support of Von Pea, are J-Live, Homeboy Sandman, Kooley High and Tanya Morgan's crew, The Lessondary.
Jass Bianchi is one of the four acts that will be featured at the October 14th Independent's Day Showcase presented by iHeartDilla.com and The Mad Bloggers. Jass is a dope emcee who just happens to be female. I've had to pleasure of seeing rock live and she puts on a good show. Plus she makes fresh music. Check out her latest video, "Late Bloomer" off of her upcoming H.E.R. project due to drop March 2011.
Come check out Jass at Southpaw in Brooklyn, NY. Doors 7:30. We'll be rocking from 8-11. $10 cover.
Check out new music from emcee/producer Haz Solo. And yes, the track is called, "Swag Angel." Ha! It's pretty dope. Enjoy.
"Swag Angel comes from a beat I produced for Tay Butler for our project Silkies And House Shoes. In his words, “this ain’t it”… In Kanye’s words, “Common passed on this beat, I made it to a jam”…I usually come up with titles for my beats by the first feeling I get from it. “Swag Angel” happened to be this tracks character. So I was in the studio clowning and pulled up the beat and just started to record what came to mind."
Sadat X and Will Tell, plus a bottle of Absolut and the basement and you get the same comedy of True Wine Connoisseurs, without the wine. Enjoy the new ep.
You'd probably think that me and Sauce Fonda are in a secret conspiracy to bring you new and remixed music nightly. We aren't. That dude is just having a good music making weekend. Check out this latest remix to Cobra Starship's "Good Girls Gone Bad." The dude tries his hand at a different genre and does his damn thing. Oh and his beats are STILL for sale. Enjoy.
I've been trying to write this post for 3 weeks now, but between working, trying to find work and sitting on my behind after getting off from work, I get slackerish. But I'm back and I have someone to introduce to you. Meet Ricky Raw. This dope cat hails out of Decatur, GA and let me tell you, he's a hustler when it comes to music. I've probably been following Ricky Raw's career for a good 6 to 7 years. We lost contact after awhile, but the dude is still dope from the first time I spoke to him. He has produced several albums, a few being White 'N Nerdy, The Green Album, and The Good Fight, all of which can be found on iTunes and Bandcamp.
Two of my favorite songs from Ricky Raw are "It's True" and "East Atlanta Love." What's so great about "East Atlanta Love" is that it uses Pac's "California Love," and is done well. So few artist can take an old track and remake it to fit them. So that in and of itself is dope. If you're from Atlanta, or have visited long enough, you'll definitely get a kick out of this track. "It's True" off of White 'N Nerdy is particularly one of my favorites because of the style of the track. It's laid back and it makes you just wanna nod your head. You know what I'm talking about too! His flow is nice and he's not gimmicky. I hate gimmicks, ie thugs, barbies, idiots, etc... With Ricky Raw, that's the last thing you'll find here. Just hot, southern Atlanta music to keep you rocking.
I got a chance to get a preview of Ricky Raw's latest album, Mighty High Coup, which is set to drop this coming Tuesday, October 12th. The intro is absolutely hilarious. They took it back to those BB King days. Be sure to look out for "To The Stage" featuring DJ Scizzahandz and "Here Forever" featuring Wes Green (which you'll be able to to get a little taste of today before MHC drops). I haven't gotten a chance to get through all of Mighty High Coup but it's definitely awesome so far. And "Here Forever" is definitely on repeat.
For those who are in the Atlanta area, feel free to stop by the East Side Lounge to attend the listening party. ESL is located at 485 Flat Shoals Rd, Atlanta, GA 30316. They make a mean Long Island too!
Last night I gave your some of Sauce Fonda's beats for sale and tonight, I give you his remix to Janelle Monae's "Tightrope." Yeah, Sauce definitely does his thing on this track. Check it out.
