Interview: Miss Special x Kev Choice



Not too long ago, I interviewed Oakland native, pianist and emcee Kev Choice. We spoke about the origin of his name, his previous projects, his new album "The Power Of Choice"; as far as the idea behind the title, the features and where to get it. He also talked about the next single off the album "Are You Impressed", the video for it, his favorite musicians to back and what's next for him.

What I'm Watching: ELZHI "It Aint Hard To Tell"



I know I can't be the only one still listening to ELZHI's ELmatic. While in a sleepy haze from working four 2am-10:30am shifts in a row, I stumbled onto the new vid from ELZHI for "It Ain't Hard to Tell." Will Sessions on the track and Michael Castelaz behind the lens. Dope video. Enjoy.

What I'm Watching: RoQ'y TyRaiD "Break Shit"



The calmest part of the song is in the first 38 seconds, after that you're ready (and encouraged) to break shit. After a brief hiatus following the completion of his dope and sometimes controversial The Podium Series, he returns in a major way with the Derrick Reed of Spicy Fud directed video."Break Shit" is a solid track and the visuals are just as fresh. Enjoy. Chea!

Hip-Hop Breakfast Ep 57


You're probably looking at the tracks like "damn Q, you on some emo shit". At a second glance you're like, "damn, someone broke this negro's heart over the weekend and now he's pouring it out on a Monday morning." Ha! None of the above folks. While looking through my itunes creating this ep, these joints kinda put themselves together. After listening to Jinesis featuring ArinMaya throughout the weekend, the playlist was built from there. At one point, I was gonna switch up after the Estelle track but I started listening to Break You Off and decided to sneak that in. Then that bought me to Cee-Lo's track from his Stray Bullets mixtape, which then made me think of the Cookin Soul x Chuuwee track. That led me to Frank Ocean and after the visuals Tyler, The Creator dropped, She was the perfect follow up to Love Crimes. Then I thought, why not end it all with a track from D. Julien's Ready for Tomorrow project. Just vibe with a brother this morning and enjoy. Chea!

01. Jinesis feat. ArinMaya - Love Hangover
02. Estelle feat. Rick Ross - Break My Heart
03. The Roots - Break You Off
04. Cee Lo Green feat. ME & Lonan the Destroyer - I'll Kill Her
05. Cookin Soul x Chuuwee - So In Love
06. Frank Ocean - Love Crimes
07. Tyler, The Creator feat. Frank Ocean - She
08. D. Julien feat. Tolu - Over You

What EMS Is Watching ... @SidSriram - "We All Try" (originally by Frank Ocean)


Well, folks... this is one of those times when I can't offer a full blown analysis about an artist or the song he sings. This is just something that you'll have to listen to and experience. I haven't been speechless in a long time. "Talented" doesn't quite cover it.

Shouts out to OC and Britt Bratt for this one. Enjoy.
