Starchild "Cold Turkey Leftovers"


After supporting TMB for a minute, making his first appearance on the site is Starchild with some pretty solid beats. Spread love, it's the Brooklyn way ...
The end of an era, 15 beats and skits from the last 2 years - my cold turkey leftovers. The album is free if you want it but if you do pay for it, HALF of the money you spend will go to Cancer Research. A worthy charity and one that means a lot to me.

Thanks to everyone who has supported over the past couple of years. If you want to use these beats for anything, please email me at luke@starcrazy.org. If you choose to use them without letting me know or giving me credit, I can't REALLY stop you but you'll be a bit of a douche and I'll probably find out eventually.

What I'm Listening To: @AntoineDunn - "Miss My Love"

Photo Courtesy of Danielle Andes

I have a million and five Pandora channels and today I decided to listen to the Neo-Soul station named after Maxwell's Urban Hang Suite. After hearing several of my favorite songs, this soulful and sultry tune playing from an artist I'd never heard of grabbed my attention. His name... Antoine Dunn.

As I often tend to do, I like to share what I'm listening to on Facebook and Twitter. Sometimes it can drum simple conversation or an in depth discussion about how amazing an artist is. This was no different when I decided to press the 'share' button and tweet out Pandora's great song choice. Lo and behold, Antoine mentions me on Twitter to say thank you for tweeting the song out.

Then, I was able to chop it up with him on Facebook discussing some of his performance dates and how he got started in the music industry. Born and raised in Cleveland, Dunn first began his music career as a songwriter, then became a church choir director and finally shifted his focus to singing. And trust me when I say, that was a great shift of focus.

"Miss My Love" is a classic R&B jawn with a sprinkle of gospel spice. His voice melts effortlessly over the second release from his upcoming debut project Truth of the Matter. If you're wondering where the real music is, it's right here. Check out Antoine Dunn's song below and make sure you keep up with his musical journey on Twitter. Enjoy.

What I'm Watching: @RebelDiaz - "Soy Rebelde"


Rebel Diaz comes through speaking about the hardships and odds that are stacked against us nowadays. From NATO to the 1% to the law enforcement and so on, Rebel Diaz touches on those subjects with a presence that is difficult to ignore. Real strong message in this joint, peep it.

In the midst of a midwest tour with a heavy presence in Chicago's May Day and NATO protest actions, Rebel Diaz releases the street single "Soy Rebelde" off their long anticipated debut album Radical Dilemma.

True to the group's bilingual form, the song samples a late 60s spanish pop ballad, "Soy Rebelde, porque el mundo me hecho asi.." (I'm a Rebel, because the world has made me this way..."). Produced by G1 of Rebel Diaz. Performed by G1 and RodStarz of Rebel Diaz.
