Check It ... Dirty Hank X Danny Drive Thru - "Overslept f/ Reason (Danny Drive Thru RMX)"

Enjoy, folks.

Forget about Kanye's "Power" remix. This winter, it's all about Dirty Hank. The emcee/polygamist has teamed up with almost legendary producer Danny Drive Thru to remix "Overslept,"a joint that was originally produced by Falside.

Danny provides his twist with a tune that sounds like it was recorded straight from a college football haltime show. Reason of Poorly Drawn People makes a guest appearance on this one. The two are working on a project at the moment entitled "The Monty Brogan EP" which will be available at the beginning of the year. The original version of "Overslept" appears on Henry's earlier EP "Dirty Hank's Guide To Giving Up."

Hank has some new projects on the way and they will be available soon.

The marching band, however, has been killed.

Sit tight.

Happy Holidays, Hams!

EMS Album Review of @ChrisetteM's "Let Freedom Reign"

So I got some good news today and decided to treat myself. Tooling around in the store, I saw Chrisette Michele's latest album Let Freedom Reign. To be honest, I didn't realize this was her third album, but from what I've heard so far, I'm loving it.

Let Freedom Reign is actually structured as an album. Each track flows into the next effortlessly. We get to see a new side of Chrisette with her latest album. She adds some pop elements into her music, specifically in "So Cool," that provides us with a moderately upbeat tempo. You will not hear the typical R&B tracks that you're used to getting from Chrisette on the majority of the album, but I can definitely appreciate the new sound. I think that those who are die hard fans may not like the album, BUT if you can appreciate different types of music, I think the listener will be pleased. I've always been a huge fan of Chrisette Michele and have felt like she is one of the most underrated female ARTISTS on the market. Chrisette is so far from being cookie cutter, I suppose that's why we don't hear her tracks in the mainstream as often as I think we should. With that being said, that just means those who appreciate real, quality music and fully enjoy what she has to offer.

A few of my favorite songs are "So In Love" featuring Rick Ross (I know... surprised the hell out of me too, since I'm not a big fan of Ricky), "I'm A Star," "Let Freedom Reign" featuring Talib Kweli and Black Thought (DEFINITELY check out this track), and last but not least "If Nobody Sang Along." I know that was probably half of the album that I just named, but it's more than worth a listen.

For the sake of the blog, I won't post any snippets of the album, however, I'll link you up to several places where you can purchase the album.

Over at Amazon.com and BestBuy.com you'll be able to hear snippets of each track. The album is also available on iTunes.

Listen. Absorb it. Enjoy.
