What I'm Watching: @SidSriram "We Found Love" (original by Rihanna)

I don't even know if there's much more that can be said about how talented Sid is. Here's his latest cover "We Found Love", originally done by Rhi Rhi. I think what I love most about his version is the personal culture touch he put in the song. Beautiful. With any luck, hopefully we (his fans) can convince him to do a cover of the breathtakingly wonderful "Anwar" by Javeda Zindagi soon.

Again, my hat is off to you.

TMB Presents: Madden Miles "Large Marge"

Madden Miles and I are a ridiculous duo. Let it be known, he's the talented one and I'm just going along for the ride after cooking up crazy concepts. Working on his third TMB backed project, the Wisconsin producer delivers up the title track from Large Marge Sent Me. Later for industry co-signs, Large Marge sent 'em and that shit means something bigger. Ha! Enjoy. Chea!

Kirby Lauryen's A Song A Day: Day 57 & 58

Not enough sites stand behind unsigned talented folks. That's something that we've long been committed too. In pursuit of realness, right? Right. While other sites follow, we try to lead and jump out front when we believe in someone and their music.

Kirby Lauryen has been on our radar for a little while. I thank EMS for bringing her to our pages and sharing her amazing music and beautiful voice with our readers. Yesterday Kirby dropped a wonderful EP. If you haven't, you should download that immediately. I'll wait *grabs Snickers bar*

I hope you've downloaded it by now.

Anyway, Kirby has also been putting out a video series simply titled A Song A Day, recording and releasing a song a day via her youtube channel. She's got some great songs there. So, from this moment forward, we're committed to posting those videos here on a daily basis. Her voice needs to be heard. Support independent music and talented people.

Apollo Brown & OC - "Prove Me Wrong" (Live From HeadQCourterz Radio Rip)

OC is back with his dope, lyrical, poetic, deep style of flow on a track produced by the highly talented Apollo Brown with "Prove Me Wrong" which debuted on DJ Premier's Sirius Satalite Show. OC's upcoming album will be produced by Apollo Brown so I know it's one of those "already bought" type of joints. I don't have to think twice. Check this track and listen to what I'm talking about.

What I'm Listening To: Kirby Lauryen "The Introduction"

An amazing addition was made to the world of music with the release of her much anticipated EP The Introduction. And after easily falling in love with this project, I'm already looking forward to her next release scheduled to drop in March. As said before about great artists a million times over, this talented songstress could sing the phone book and make it sound incredible.

Kirby Lauryen, you are a gem. Thank you.

Tell your mom and all of your friends that this young lady is a star. Check out her EP below.

Interview: Special Sundays x Kay Cola

Miss Special strikes again! Enjoy.

Friday night I got to speak with Grammy nominated song writer and singer Kay Cola before her show with her father, Hurbert Laws at Yoshi's in San Francisco. We spoke about her background in music, including her degree from Loyola Marymount University and if she will continue songwriting. We also spoke about her project "Love & Music", working with Skyzoo & Christian Rich and her vision for the hopefully upcoming "Home" video. We also spoke about working on the new K. Roosevelt project, I pitched the idea of her doing a duet with BJ The Chicago Kid and she talked about what's next for her.
