Tank released the video to this great R&B track directed by Mike Ho. Great R&B might seem harder to find but I know I can count on Tank. This dude stays consistent. Can't wait till "This Is How I Feel" comes out.
Pale Blue Dot, produced by Stro Elliot and features Gianinna Ashe, is a track that has Mr. J. Medeiros taking a deeper look into society using his talents on the mic. Check it.
Jeff Spec just released the 3rd volume to his instrumental/beat tape series. According to Mr. Spec, the tracks are mainly rough loops and chops with raw drums, and are all ready and sequenced for use. If you decide to work with any of these, he's willing to work with you so he's asking you send him what you create with it.
"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

A new interview every day, b. EVERY DAY! Ha. Enjoy the latest from Miss Special, a convo with the multi-talented Jasmine Solano. Chea!
Friday night before her DJ set at Ambassador Lounge in San Francisco, I got to speak with DJ and rapper Jasmine Solano. We spoke about doing specialty radio, Wiz's "Deal Or No Deal" tour, the reactions she gets when she DJ's and raps. We talked about her college degree, her new merchandise including shirts, stickers and slipmats. We also spoke about her upcoming EP "RAP", not doing a video with Yelawolf, the next release from it and the feel of it.
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!
