Without a Dope Beat to Step To.

I've recently been on my heavy diet of strictly Hip Hop websites and came across this group based out of ATLanta who go by the name of the Soulphonics and Ruby Velle. This incredible band of straight up incredible music is part of a movement in music happening that is very special. Almost like a "revival" type of thing with a crisp throwback sound of soul. The most interesting part of the band is the lead vocalist Ruby Velle who is of South Asian descent. It's amazing how music has the ability to transcend barriers and touch people all around the world. Check it out down below. Shoutout to 2dopeboyz.com for putting me and my homies on.

INTRODUCTION

Today, I'd like to take a moment and introduce a very special person to this particular blogosphere. One night on my way to Brooklyn I had the K.R.I.T. Wuz Here joint knockin in my girls' whip. I came to find out one of my favorite tracks on KRIT's project was sampled from this songstress by the name of Adele. So I started to get familiar. Yesterday I was fully introduced to this joint that was completely moving. Her New project entitled "21" is soon coming. Major props to 2DB for puttin us on.

It's another sunday in the hometown marinatin' on my wintertime jawn, while I think about all the things that need to be done, and the resources that need to be pulled as I gear up for the next project I'm about to drop entitled "Midnight Autumn Dreams."
Now its 2011. The stakes only got higher. So as I walk through the valley of the shadow of FRESH, I got this in my touch for all you sucka-ass haterade drinkin no timers. Get Familiar.

A NEW DAY.

It's really saddening to witness the police abuse their positions of power and know that the police are just at the bottom of the ladder. Imagine what the feds can do to you. SMDH. I caught this atrocious video today on worldstarhiphop and had to put it up due to the magnitude of civil rights that were violated. The police departments locally, regionally, nationally and internationally need to get their shit together because even if there are good cops out there, its the ones like in this video that got me and my peoples saying "FUCK THE POLICE."

Nuff Said.

SONG OF THE DAY

Heavy Rotation. Kanye is Taking this culture to a whole new place.

I was at the bar last night with a couple of the homies watching the NBA season opener. After seeing that the Boston C's are still in the mix to take it all the way back to the chip, I overheard this joint and was diggin' it from the jump. I don't think i have ever heard this ever before up until last night but it's been stuck in my head. Props to all the 80's babies dream chasing.
