  • Tony J Is Bringing Romance Back To R&B

    Moe Arora
    20 Oct 2009 | 4:53 pm
    I wanted to let you guys know about a new R&B artist/producer I’ve recently began working with, Tony J.He’s been making a name for himself in his hometown of Houston, and today, we’re releasing his new single, “U Need A Man”.Here’s a quick bio rundown:“With the new generation of R&B artists singing tales of promiscuous lifestyles, today’s R&B music has lost its connection with love and romance. Houston native, Tony J, wants to change that.Having been raised in Houston (a primarily hip-hop market), Tony’s musical influences range from…

    One of the biggest problems with the music business (or any business, for that matter) is that you’re never quite sure who you can trust. People talk a lot; the difference is some can back up their talk, while others simply can’t.And other times, not only can they not back it up – they go to the extreme to create an entire façade.Fakes.Frauds.One of those frauds is Antoine Keane a.k.a “Dominic Edmonds”.I got contacted by this guy a couple months ago about doing some consultation work for his independent label, SRB/WongGee Records.

  • Adriana Evans - Nomadic CD

    Who is Adriana Evans? Her self titled debut from the spring of 1997, alongside Erykah Badu's "Baduizm", helped usher in what would later be dubbed the "Neo-Soul" movement. No longer signed to a label, her second album "Nomadic" was previously only available for sale at her shows or her website. It is a departure from her first album in that it draws its inspiration from many genres of music, including samba, reggae, rock, hip-hop, and jazz, but all VERY soulfully composed. An extremely unique sound that defies description, it can only be truly understood when you give it a listen.

  • Georgia Anne Muldrow - Early CD

    These are Georgia Anne Muldrow's "Early" recordings. She wrote, produced and recorded this lean, ten track album entirely by herself, but the sound of its backdrop and the maturity of the themes that accompany it showcase an intimate knowledge of rhythm and syncopation well beyond her years. Seventeen years young with an old soul, Georgia managed to blend the composing acumen of Roy Ayers and J Dilla with the vocal stylings of Billie Holiday and Lauryn Hill. The results are both hot and cool, bitter and sweet, inside the lines and outside the box. Not nearly as experimental as her previous…

We are told that Spin Doctor will donate his proceeds to the Yancey family and Lupus UK. Spin Doctor avoids a lot of familiar Dilla produced tracks to offer up remixes, original breaks and lesser known material. The Dilla instrumentals and original sources all meld together, including Tribe, De La, Common, Slum Village, Jaylib, The…

  • 50 Cent Blames Record Label For Low Sales Projections, 'It's They Fault'

    20 Nov 2009 | 5:28 am
    In an interview with Funkamster Flex last night (November 20), 50 Cent gave his opinion on the low sales projection of his latest album Before I Self Destruct. As reported earlier, the album is projected to only sell around 160,000 copies by next week and will most likely miss the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200. 50 Cent believes that the low sales were caused by the album's leak and the inability of his record label to take action. "With the actual outcome of the project, once the record leaks from the international plant, what more can I do," 50 explained. "I can't, I held the record long…

She rambled on about Shawne Merriman, pranced around naked, and after all that… had the nerve to complain about being labeled an attention whore.

    There is no doubt that Hurricane Katrina was a storm of colossal proportions, a rarity even in the current climate of super-charged storm fronts, but it is the ruling of a judge that has given a target for all of those effected by the damage left in its wake. In a monumental ruling, U.S. District Judge Stanwood R.

  • Video: N.A.S.A. "Spacious Thoughts" feat. Tom Waits & Kool Keith

    I didn't think there were any songs left off of N.A.S.A.'s debut album, Spirit of Apollo, that didn't get the video treatment. Apparently there are a few left (and I'm not complaining). Here's the latest, "Spacious Thoughts," featuring Tom Waits & Kool Keith. This very well may be my favorite vid from the project so far, very crisp animation as always. Video directed by Fluorescent Hill and animation by Mark Lomond, Johanne Ste-Marie, &a [...]

    20 Nov 2009 | 12:51 pm
    Since he stole the show on Dr. Dre's genre-defining masterpiece The Chronic, Snoop Dogg's laconic, rubbery flow and goofy gangsta persona has been a hip-hop institution. His Doggystyle (1993) became the first debut album to hit the charts at No. 1. After a rancorous split with Death Row Records, Snoop moved to Master P's No Limit label. In the late '90s, he began working with Dre again, resulting in standout tracks like "Bitch Please," "Still D.R.E." and "The Next Episode." Not content with simply rapping, Snoop has appeared in such feature films as Training Day and The Wash and put in work…

    Amongst the most commercially successful female groups in the music industry, Destiny's Child has been cranking out multi-platinum crossover R&B for many years. Founded in Houston, Texas in 1990, they were originally put together by Mathew Knowles (Beyonce's dad) when the members were still in their preteens. They paid dues performing on Star Search (rapping, not singing) in the early nineties and eventually went on the road, touring as an opening act for Dru Hill and SWV among others. Their first official release came about in 1997, with the song "Killing Time" off the soundtrack for Will…

  • New Boyz

    20 Nov 2009 | 12:50 pm
    Whether you think the New Boyz encapsulate a vibrant new culture or the death of hip-hop probably depends a lot on your age. But the Boyz do have a lot of energy, and they have managed to stitch together a style -- sonically and aesthetically -- that is distinctive. Their fashion sense (tight jeans, retro concert tees, derby hats) is firmly urban hipster, while their productions recalls the skeletal retro hip-hop of the Cool Kids. Their video for "You're a Jerk" was one of the biggest YouTube hits of 2009 and inspired a dance that involves a lot of knee bends and sudden drops. - Sam Chennault

  • Wyclef Jean

    20 Nov 2009 | 12:50 pm
    More Bob Marley than Bambaataa, Haitian emcee/producer Wyclef Jean is hip-hop's most globally minded star. Jean shot to stardom in the mid-'90s as a key member of the immensely popular Fugees. Though that group only released two proper albums, and disbanded before following up the multi-platinum The Score, their footprint remains heavy on everything from boho rap to mainstream hip-hop. After their tumultuous dissolution, Wyclef released his solo debut The Carnival in 1997. Whether experimenting with Caribbean rhythms ("Guantanamera") or pop ballads ("Gone 'Till November"), the album was a…

  • Sean Paul

    20 Nov 2009 | 12:50 pm
    Hip-hop has always taken inspiration from Dancehall -- thanks to New York's sizeable Jamaican population -- and collaborations between the two communities have been increasing. But it took Dancehall newcomer Sean Paul to finally close the gap. After a series of collaborations with such artists as Jay-Z and DMX, Paul's long-awaited sophomore album Dutty Rock burned up clubs all over the world with its stellar combination of grit, glitz and girl-talk. Culturally mongrel, Paul is something of an anomaly in the Dancehall world: he's the well-educated son of a Portuguese-Jamaican father and a…

    19 Nov 2009 | 2:31 am
    Though 50 Cent recorded Before I Self Destruct before Curtis, the former was briefly canned while he engaged in a SoundScan showdown with Kanye West. With that feud behind him, Before finally gets to see the light of day. Sadly, 50 never really managed to shake off some of the dust this album gathered while it was sitting on the shelf.

  • Beanie Sigel "Goes Off" on Jay-Z

    16 Nov 2009 | 3:25 am
    Barely a week after signing with G-Unit, former Roc-A-Fella MC Beanie Sigel has unleashed a Jay-Z diss titled "I Go Off." Actually, Beans keeps the insult subliminal, while 50 Cent boldly rips into Jay at the end of the track. Sigel is still as raw as ever, but 50's lame hook renders "I Go Off" nearly unlistenable. I'll be surprised if Jay takes the bait and gives Beans the attention he so desperately seeks. Beanie Sigel (Featuring 50 Cent) - I Go Off Beanie Sigel "Goes Off" on Jay-Z originally appeared on About.com Rap / Hip-Hop on Monday, November 16th, 2009 at 11:25:29.Permalink | Comment…
