Tip Of My Tongue

i'll put the money where my blog is and say Jagged Edge will make some of the best rhythm and blues music in 2010.

MP3: Jagged Edge - Tip Of My Tongue (Ft. Trina & Gucci Mane)

They were so relevant when I was at senior school.

dreaming

MP3: Alicia Keys - Dreaming

damn you swizz beatz.

Share My Bed

You know, I almost certainly wouldn't have listened to this had it not got JRocc's name on it.

basically, all remixer/deejay characters please please don't step up your (already frequent) blend game on my inbox...

Unless you've got credentials like the man in question of course

so much spirit and soul in this.

some form of mixtape is forthcoming. enjoy this slice in the meanwhile

MP3: J Dilla / Michael Jackson - Player Has Butterflies

No Robin. . . not like that. .

Rihanna on Robin Thickes lap by the looks of things.

for lack of a decent press shot.

you may have been exposed to a new Robin Thicke track - Meiple (with the e acute) , featuring jigga.

of course, the collaboration had me interested - I even wanted some context about the title,

but on listening I was nothing short of appalled.  considering some of the things we know robin can do with his voice, this is just not a credible end product. I'm sorry.

And jay, next time you should probably consider leaving this slot to gucci or another garbler.

horror show over -  I had to go straight back to some of his previous tracks to ensure my respect for him remained intact.

MP3: Robin Thicke - Sex Therapy

It does. I sure hope the album is more like this than like that.

why I wear a wifebeater

MP3: Sean Garrett - Up In Your Heart (Ft. Gucci Mane)

more offcentre r&b from bangladesh, who, when he's not rehashing the A Millie beat, seems to have developed a talent for making average artists sound like r&b gods.

And of course it wouldn't be complete without some garbling from gucci.

And of course I wouldn't be posting it if I didn't think it was big.

Transform Ya

the return of the repentant Chris Brown. move along if you can't forgive. .

some more commercially facing r&b that will cause all kinds of problems if played to the right dance.

Swizz Beatz & Lil Wayne supporting. & another song that will force me to leave my seat when I visit some more pants 'student culture' university nights. Spare a thought. . .

Your not my girl.

eventually ryan leslie's gonna run out of cliche romantic episodes to write about

but on current, previous and future form, he could write about the price of semi skimmed and i'd still bump it relentlessly.

MP3: Ryan Leslie - Your Not My Girl

Don't I lace you with the Gucci?

Mario can't believe why she'd leave him when he's providing all those names.

Gucciman drops a ' x bus come at once ' metaphore that tails off into noise.

Bangladesh takes a load of parts that shouldn't really fit together, has a play, and makes a hit. Possibly another of the pioneers of sparse next generation r&b.

Something That I Like.

video a day.

NEW ryan leslie. the beat gets inside you after about six listens.

4:15

best unsigned?

MP3: Ayah - Might Not Be

There is something between a mixtape and an album coming today. 15th. Ayahmusic.com .

Believe me, I've been following her since before Problem Woman Mixtape . Whatever it is, It'l be dope.

take you out to eat , never fed your mind

1 in 5 songs i've listened to today have featured this man.

There aren't really many of these r & b singers who I can really relate to these days, and there certainly aren't really any of these r & b singers who know how to get behind the boards. Ryan Leslie achieves both. With aplomb.

If your lucky enough to own some of his instrumentals you'l know what I'm meaning.

MP3: Ryan Leslie - One In A Million

Especially for carmen who says i don't listen to commercial no-more!

Watermelon

Peter Hadar & Nicolay. Remember the vocalist, You already know the producer.

Doing a lot for the ladies - I'm sure.

MP3: Peter Hadar - Watermelon (Prod. Nicolay)
(Zshare)

Cool

Some serious label cleansing on Anthony, ready for the album coming November 18th.

The Point Of It All

still killing them though, but why is David Banner on this? Why sit at the table if you aint bringing anything to it?

P.Y.T

I guess every one got one. . (at the risk of sounding like your local FM sweet talking disc jockey).

Seriously good album for the groovers. . could post a number of tracks. shades of Anthony Hamilton but more accessible to the money market. 

MP3: Noel Gourdin - PYT

When We Dance

maybe a slightly feminine picture to pick?

but wait till you hear. the. instrumental. 

MP3: Ryan Leslie - When We Dance

The Hunger

Love & Life coming on the 9/9/08

MP3:Eric Benet - Hunger

Green Light Video

infectious.

Green Light

We brought you the snippet.

Now we bring you (very belatedly) the full version. . . Easily playable, Easily listenable and easily sellable..

Haven't listened fully yet to andre. . . Lets count the gags.

MP3: John Legend - Green Light (Ft. Andre 3000)

R & B Midweek Sixes

Back again.

MP3: Ryan Leslie - Just Right
on his every word at the moment. . This is taken from his 2005 album. Crazy production - anyone holding an instru? Album sooon.

MP3: Dwele - I'm Cheatin'
brannnnd new music from dwele. Admittedly not on the level of some previous material but who cares. . It's a start. Album coming sooon too.

MP3: Sy Smith - The Art Of You
Soul new for '08. . . Taken from her (do the research) third album . Very very highly recommended . Thankyou thankyou Susan.

MP3: Q- Tip - I Believe (Ft. D'Angelo)
possibly the greatest find from the recent digging i've been doing. . days after a fellow on Okayplayer said he had finally tracked down d'angelo in a US jazz bar. . I find this. the two knocked up the track stupidly quickly, but it doesn't show. Heres to a d'angelo comeback, and to me finding the actual mixtape this came from. Honestly, i could sing the praises for this alllll day.

MP3: Steph Jones - LaLa Means Love
get over the knucklehead promo-ing his mixtape at the start, and its onto a winner. Will try to find a CDQ, but bump this until then.

Honestly. . some real brilliance here - download them all. Let me know if i've missed anything, and get digging yourselves. .

Yeah. .

On an R&B thing at the moment...

Tomorow will feature tracks from Steph Jones (MAN!), NE-Yo and possibly New Dwele. . . . Mmmmmmm.

This aint a joke either. Thanks to Ronnie Herel & Dj B for showing me that good stuff again.
