First song is Mos Def‘s brand new track, “Quiet Dog”. It’s the second single from his upcoming album, The Ecstatic. I really just like Mos Def’s vibe. Not only does he flow over whatever beat he’s on with ease and edge, but his lyrical abilities combined with his distinctive sounding voice really separate him from [...] Read More…

It’s a great remix… I’d [...] Read More…

First song this week is a great track from back in 2002. It’s “Cry Baby” by Spiller. The Italian producer/dj has been around since the 90’s but his music is usually more pop/electronic than hip hop/electronic like this track sounds. Spiller – Cry Baby Second song is by David Holmes and it’s off of the Ocean’s 12 soundtrack that, along [...] Read More…

First song this week is by Lewis Taylor. It’s called “Stoned Part 1? and it comes from his 2004 album of the same name. I heard this song on the radio last week and that was the first I had heard of him. He’s a very talented neo-soul musician/singer. I read a little about him and [...] Read More…
