Love That Girl
First track to leak from his new 1960's motown inspired album.. 'The Way i See It' . .
Sounding so good. Really captured the mood with this one.
MP3: Raphael Saadiq - Love That Girl
Jay-Z on JR
As everyone has been saying - he comes across real well.
Not gonna bother posting up all the glastonbury videos. Its plastered across the bbc website - if you can't see it you dont deserve it

American Boy
London bridges are falling down
Not bridges, but britches when Jigga's in town
Ladies show me your knickers
I might let you take it if you don't tell the Mrs.
Quick, run 'fore the tabloids come
Hide from the night 'fore we end up in THE SUN
I'm just takin' the piss...unless you gone DO IT!

fear & loathing in New Orleans
'carve up the streets like a thanksgiving turkey'
Its easy to get lost in the sea of entourages and weedcarriers, and I'm sure a lot of them do. . Hell a lot of them are churning out mixtapes almost quarterly. . but there aint no quality control and often I find millions of guest spots from their own weedcarriers. And so on. Everyone wants to be a rappper. .
By chance I checked out this curren$y joint that eskay (nahright) recently posted. . mainly cause I hadn't heard the pun beat its on ina minute.
And what would you know. . . it's actually sounding pretty fresh.
His recent mixtape 'Fear & Loathing in New Orleans' has also just been released. . I've had a scan listen and theres definitely promise - although I always struggle to grasp the ideas in these mixtapes, too cut and paste. Make up your own mind cause nahright are on this too.
oH yeah, this song aint on the mixtape. . And for those that don't know curren$y is from the cash money stable. . in other words. . one of weezy's crew.
MP3: Curren$y - Jets
Isn't it so hiphop having $ in your name?
mMMM
. . . possibly we're looking at July 29th for an official Elzhi release.
'The Preface'
will be checking the source and finding some more details before we allstart drooling.
War Music
Famlay's back with a crazyyyy (afro)beat.
but whats the sample. . ? Hoping some brownswood fella's might know.
MP3: Famlay - War Music
spotted on tss.

On-Point TV : Jose James Interview

Anyway. . glad I checked back now. . real nice interview with our favourite, Jose James.
Interviews with Ben Westbeech and Flying Lotus (and others..) are up at the site now. . Haven't time to check them now but will be doing so tomorow. . and almost definitely posting.
Kidulthood to Adulthood
ADULTHOOD MUSIC VIDEO
Well Bashy got the lead single for 'Adulthood' - the follow up to 'Kidulthood' (check your dvd rental spots) . . and trust me, he comes hard.
Maniacs gritty production perfectly matches the flow and in turn, the track fits the mood of the film like a glove.
hustler that he is, bashy also supervised the films entire soundtrack. .
Films hitting screens 20th June. With Kidulthood to Adulthood (and the rest of the soundtrack?) coming ten days later on the 30th.

Soul Motive 001
A. Joker - Snake Eater
AA. TRG - Move Dis
Label: Soul Motive
As debuts go this is pretty huge...
TRG continues the come up with a fine drop of 2step, possibly his most impressive track to date? Got to commend the mans workrate - i'm catching new pieces from him every time I hit the boomkat mainpage.
But as good as the double A is, all the talks going to be about Joker's 'Snake Eater'. . First time I heard this I was sure it was the return of Low Deep. . (heads will know!). . Sure to be a mainstay in DJ's boxes over the summer.
Available @ boomkat.

Jay Electronica returns to myspace. .
Jay Electronica's finally got another myspace after the last one got hacked.
1 new tune on the player too.
C3
Just finished my second listen of weezy's carter 3. Obviously too early to comment just yet but I'l be going back for a third listen so the signs are good.
Every blog from here to New Orleans has put tracks up, I wanted to throw up the Robin Thicke joint 'tie my hands' , but i'd just be wasting yousendit server space.
Why kanye in the picture too? Because he freshened it all up again with the production.
More thoughts will follow.

big room music
Manuel Tur is top of his league at the moment. . I'm still playing Deviate/Mild Pitch but the balance may have changed now that I've had the pleasure of hearing his work on the remix to Milton Jackson & Sei's Jinzou (recently out on Urbantorque). . . Sublime deep house.
Check it out at Junodownload. and expect me to bang on about him for the forseeable future if he continues his good form. . Not everday I blog about 'house music', so you know it gotta be special?
