Jazz "Perfect Picture"


A few days ago after reaching out to us via twitter, I received some music from Jazz, an NJ emcee. I'll be honest, and I've said it before, we receive more music than we can possibly find the time to listen to but for whatever reason I hit play on the four tracks Jazz sent over. You could definitely hear the talent. I felt Perfect Picture was the strongest of the group she sent and so I'll share that cut with you.  If you dig it, you can hear more over at soundcloud.com/rookieofthey3ar. Look out for her project Grand Entrance coming this year. In the meantime, enjoy Perfect Picture.

What I'm Watching: Kirby Lauryen - "That Should Be Me" (A Song A Day - 44)



A few weeks ago, I came across Kirby Lauryen and her "A Song A Day" challenge. Although I'm still getting to know her music, I can definitively say she's quickly becoming one of my favorites this year. Her voice is beautiful, mellifluous and her lyrics are raw and honest. Check out one of her latest, "That Should Be Me."

Enjoy.
