RoQ'y TyRaiD - "Windows of Bass" - (Produced by Dn³)

New joint off the upcoming RoQ'y TyRaiD album "Project Ark of Arts" has got me impatient for Spring to arrive. This track is smooth as hell with production from Dn³ coupled with RoQy's illicit and talented flow sounds like a winner to the ears. Gotta hit play more than once on this one.

ScienZe x JohnNY U. "Mother Nature's Daughter" (Prod. Clint Partie)

Let's be real. I saw the artwork before I heard the track. I was stuck on that for a minute. Ha! But I'm also obviously digging the track too. I mean, you can't go wrong with a beautiful black woman as cover art, assisted by a ScienZe and JohnNY U track. With Clint Partie on production, this joint is fresh out of the studio and as ScienZe writes, "(we) decided to release it to show the people that we appreciate all the support and love thus far on this voyage with music." It's solid. Hit play and enjoy. Chea!

It's been a good, LONG while since I've had a chance to post up another wonderful song by most recent winner of "The Girls Got Talent" competition, Mica Parris.

It's finding rare gems like these when I'm most proud to be a blogger because then I get to share the real music with all of you.

e.d.g.e. "Syndication" (Prod. by Madden Miles)

As you may recall, not too long ago we teamed up with Wisconsin beat maker Madden Miles and released A Beat For You [The Donny Hathaway Beat Tape]. And now we're in the process of pulling together a vocal version of that project, featuring some TMB favorites to collab on the EP. Our Vancouver homie e.d.g.e. is the first out the gate with Syndication. As always, he serves up a solid cut. Look out for more from the tentatively titled Hathadays EP. Chea!

What I'm Watching: Kirby Lauryen - "Growing On Me" (A Song A Day - 19)

I've come across some great things over the past few weeks. I've just been a little slow getting them posted. Interestingly enough, a lot of them seem to be coming out of Berklee College of Music. The talent coming out of that institution is incredible. The most recent I've stumbled upon is Kirby Lauryen. Can we say, wow?! Beautiful song. And we all know how it feels to have someone gradually become apart of your life. I look forward to hearing songs from Day 1 - 18, and I also look forward to hearing everything after Day 19. With musicianship like this, the Arts will never die.

Go ahead. Click the play button. Enjoy.

Lyriciss "Big Gold Chain"

As I began to compile my own write up, I think the homie Richard over at DJBooth.net sums it up best. Definitely a dope track. Look out for The Balance EP: Money EP over at the Booth sometime today. In the meantime enjoy Big Gold Chain.

"Is it worth risking your freedom and potentially your life for a pile of cash and a "Big Gold Chain"? Crazy as the bet may seem, all-too-many inner-city youths are willing to put everything on the line for a chance to shine. On Lyriciss’ latest single, the DMV rhymesayer offers listeners a little insight into social and economic conditions that turn poverty-stricken individuals into compulsive paper-chasers, and the often dire consequences of such an addiction."
