Kirby Lauryen's A Song A Day: Day 59

"Today's a little different. I wrote to a track instead of piano. I have had this instrumentation for a while but had a great opportunity today so I decided to write to it , and share it with you all. I just used my Mic/ Logic/ and a little EQ and here you are. I hope you guys like it! See you tomorrow, I'll be back on the piano." -KL

What I'm Watching: Sene "brooklyknight"

This joint reminds me of Clint Eastwood's Half Time in America ad during the Super Bowl. It's like the native son returns to champion the cause for Hip-Hop. Brooklyn's Sene is preparing to drop his new project brooklyknight, due out April 24th. The album will feature Blu, Co$$, Scienze, Jay Jennings and others, with production from J57, Fonetik Simbol, No Games and more. The video provides the backdrop and inspiration for the new project. Can't wait. It's half time in Hip-Hop. Are you ready for the next half? Chea!

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.
