The homie J57 dropped off a solid track from Soul Khan. "Soulstice III" is dope. Soul Khan is definitely that dude and his music always impresses. The latest continues the trend. Hit play and enjoy the hell out of this shit. Chea!
Word Harder? The homie e.d.g.e. couldn't possibly work any harder. Ha! He's definitely one of the hardest working guys I know but he keeps pushing. Joined by shinobistalin with Reeplay on the beat, e.d.g.e. delivers up another solid track. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
Produced by Jonesy with a guest feature from Graysum, ScholarMan drops off another powerful joint in "Control the Madness" off of his upcoming The Surface Under EP due out August 2011. Solid cut. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!
This post is LONG overdue and I totally apologize!
I got hit up with this several months ago and this is one of my favorite curve balls I'm giving you guys this month. There's not much I can tell you about LehtMoJoe except for I think he's a dope producer. He released this latest project in April of this year and every time I hear it, all I can do is groove. This sophomore album inspires me to throw the biggest house party I can imagine, which is awesome, especially since I don't throw house parties.
To find out more about LehtMoJoe and his unique sound, check out his website at www.lehtmojoe.com.

Natasha Ramos is working hard! She is cranking this music out and I'm loving it. A TMB favorite, Ms. Ramos hit us with a new video that's been making it's way around the circuit in the blogosphere. What I love most about "Walk Away" is its simplicity and elegance. A beautifully done video by a talented and dedicated artist. As I've always said in my blog posts about Natasha, if you don't know her, get familiar. You'll thank me later.
This lady here. Okay, I'm going to tell you all right now, it's just amazing to hear. I might have missed going to school with her by a year or two, but Ms. Rolynne' Anderson is a gift to the world of music. I remember when I first heard her down in the computer lab of Presser Hall late one evening; I've got on headphones and I couldn't help but take them off just to listen to her sing and play around with lyrics and notes.
One thing I can say about Agnes Scott, is that they are masters at producing talented musicians. Kudos to the music department!
While Rolynne' has a myriad of other YouTube videos that you can check out here, "Stone" is her most recent composition that is beautiful, original and uniquely melodic in it's own right. She created her own instrumental, wrote her own song, and recorded it in her own home studio. True musicianship. I have no doubt that Rolynne' will be one of the ones to help us get back to what music should have never strayed from. Authenticity.
When you think Caribbean music, usually Soca, Dancehall, and Reggae come to mind. Kayo, from St. Lucia chose a different path, he discusses in our interview why Hip-Hop appeals to him as a form of expression, why he moved to Canada, and how he got signed to Classified’s Half-life record label. Kayo is definitely an artist on “The Come Up” and someone to look out for.
Man, I've been sitting on this artist spotlight for some time now. Blame it on the lack of time on my part and definitely not on the lack of talent on Lyric Jones' part. I first stumbled on her music when I asked folks to name some dope female emcees. Lyric's name came up a dozen times. So, I found myself checking out some of her music and was impressed with the emcee who now calls ATL home. I dig her style and sound. It's behind that generic Hip-Hop. Check out her latest video and get to know Lyric Jones after the jump.
Yesterday, just after 8pm, L.A. released on DJBooth.net the latest from her upcoming The L.A. Riots. I had the privilege of writing about "I'm Alive" in it's world premier over at the Booth. This track is filthy. And by filthy I mean extremely dope. Like I said over at the Booth, there’s a hunger in the Brooklyn newcomer’s voice and she lays it all on the line in "I’m Alive." But that hunger, confidence, passion and raw emotion is all over her latest project. I'm honored enough to be one of the folks in L.A.'s circle with whom she's shared music from the new project and "I'm Alive" and "Spitting Out Blood" (the last single) are just the tip of the iceberg. Out to prove so much after her debut project The Presentation, the Cali production duo Hippie Sabotage help L.A. tell her story by creating some heat bombs for her to flow over effortlessly. Look out for more soon but in the meantime, enjoy "I'm Alive". Chea!
A lot of folks will jump on a popular current hit and follow the trend everyone else is following (see Marvin's Room). Few dare to reach back. And that's why I dig Elle Maxwell, because she remains bold. She returns with the latest in her RUSHOUR series by attacking The Cranberries' "Dreams." Fresh. I definitely dig what she did here. Enjoy. Chea!
Latest from a newcomer to the site, J. Craig releases this video of a track that's off his upcoming mixtape titled "No Managers No Problem." The way the industry is nowadays, I would think that's the way to do it. But what do I know? Haha. Check it.
The cloaked ones are back. Matter Ov Fact and EP release their latest off of "Lone Sharks". These guys been getting some praises by other dope MCs. Definitely check it out and make sure you get the album. Good music.
