KeithCharles Spacebar "00 /≠"


Emcee/Producer KeithCharles Spacebar definitely delivers up a very unique sound on this cut off of his upcoming project. He calls Keep[COUNT] "an Acid-Jazz journey to the center of your mind, filled with 808's synth and FX which he weaved seamlessly; telling an account of over-confidence, foresight and a mantra of Fuck Bitches, Get Money." Should be interesting. In the meantime, hit play and enjoy 00 /≠.

TMB Presents: DeVin Maze "H.O.E. (Boomerang)"


DeVin just do your thang ...

After dropping the JohnNY U assisted How We Livin', DeVin Maze unleashes the new single H.O.E (Boomerang), with Jay Denson on the beat, off of his upcoming TMB presented Second Hand Smoke. The kid is dope. Check out his intro to the track below and turn your speakers up a notch and enjoy this one. Chea!

"History Over Everything. Probably one of the more telling singles I've written to date. On my journey to achieve all the knowledge of the world, I've come to learn that you can have whoever and whatever you want if you can give them an incentive. Produced by the homie Jay Denson, History Over Everything is a track dedicated to the women who choose that incentive over their own instincts. Their knowledge, their past....in short, their history. It's history over everything, that is/should be the deciding factor. Forgive, never forget." -DeVin Maze

Summer Stage 6/17/2012: Rahzel, Questlove, Black Thought, and Groove Theory



Every summer, NYC's City Parks Foundation has FREE concerts in various parks in New York City and the surrounding areas. Yesterday, Rahzel, Questlove, Black Thought, and Groove Theory performed at Central Park. Questlove did a DJ set, while Black Thought and Rahzel performed a few songs over various instrumentals.  Below is The Roots "The Fire" over the Otis beat (WTT). Rahzel backs him up with a bit of beat boxing.
 

Apparently this was the FIRST Groove Theory performance in 16 years. Amel brought her beautiful daughter Sky (who is also her background singer) and she sounds amazing! Like a younger version of Amel, still raw but powerful. The video below is of Amel performing D'Angelo's "Lady" and then going  into Faith Evan's "You Use to Love Me."
