BRITTANY BOSCO-TIMELESS
I had the pleasure of interviewing Brittany Bosco a while back, and this short video subtly highlights all of the things that make her such a gem. She’s authentic, talented and puts on a hell of a show. Here’s our piece on her and here’s some free music if you’re new to Bosco. She’s performing this Saturday in Atlanta! Hit the skip for deets.
JAY ELECTRONICA F/ DIDDY-THE GHOST OF CHRISTOPHER WALLACE
Oooweeeeee. Here’s some footage from Jay Electronica’s epic performance last night at Webster Hall in NYC. If you follow him on Twitter, here’s how hard he went in a nutshell:
@JayElectronica Let it be known and heard that I destroyed webster hall tonight and gave away everything from my coat to my shoes. I’m leaving barefoot!
His new song, “The Ghost of Christopher Wallace” dropped today. It was produced by Quincy Tones. Let us know what you think!

YAY OR NAY: JEANINE
Jeanine’s no newcomer to this music thing. Grammy-nominated songwriter Jeanine Smith has had her share of ups and downs since choosing to enter the music business. She got her first “break” in May of 2002 when Anthony Hamilton spotted her singing “Moody’s Mood for Love” on the pa system of a promotional truck outside of Philadelphia’s Five Spot club during the popular “Black Lily” event. Talk about right place, right time. Check out ‘Baby It Ain’t Over‘ and hit the jump to check out the video & vote YAY or NAY and catch a link to listen to her whole album!

TRAILER: RUBYHORNET’S CLOSED SESSIONS IN AUSTIN
I’m a huge fan of Ruby Hornet’s Closed Sessions undertaking. I’ve spoken with my homies Virgil, Omar, and RTC over at the RH camp on multiple occasions about their foresight to create such a great idea and execute it with professionalism. I think it’s something we’ll start to see copied more and more as the years pass, but they’ve truly started the ball rolling. Long story short, Closed Sessions Austin was spawned from the original project done at Chicago’s Soundscape Studios, only this time it was during the SXSW week, thus putting a strenuous time limit on completing the recording for the project that hadn’t previously existed when Vol. 1 was created. The adventure, seemingly well-documented and laden with names you’ll know & love, is sure to be an interesting view. This is just the trailer though.
VIDEO: GRYNCH – MY VOLVO
Seattle’s son Grynch makes an impressive video debut that takes us back to what Hip Hop is all about, fun. Instead of rapping about the usual trials and tribulations of a struggling artist Grynch keeps it light and focuses on his ride. Though full of tongue and cheek this video is a slice of real life and makes us all reminisce about our first ride and the good (and bad) times we had with it. Take this flick for what it is, good vibes. Catch some of the 206 crew on cameo duty.
DRAKE – FIND YOUR LOVE (PRODUCED BY KANYE WEST)
Drake, holler at me, let me upgrade your graphic game playboy. Anyways, here’s “Find Your Love“, the new Kanye West-produced single from Drake’s upcoming album ‘Thank Me Later‘ that’s dropping mid-June. Everyone’s interested to see if the album’ll live up to the hype that he’s built up over the past year and a half, but I suggest you go in with low-to-no expectations in order to at least get some degree of enjoyment out of the project when it drops. Singing & shit as you’ve come to expect from Drake but your girl’ll might like it, so you might as well give it a listen. I’m sure the Drake detesters will try to hate on it regardless, but indulge and let us know your thoughts if you’re a Drake fan.
