VIDEO: MADLIB & FREDDIE GIBBS – THUGGIN

The most played song on my iTunes (I think I’m at 98 plays now…) gets visual treatment. If you haven’t already, cop up on these two artists’ joint EP here and wait impatiently for the full length project to drop hopefully sooner than later.

SONNYMOON- 2012 EP STREAMS + NEAR ME VIDEO

When our dear friends  Sonnymoon sent us their latest EP: 2012 via email, it didn’t take but a five minutes for the whole staff to stop what we were doing and listen. The five-song project sent all of us into a euphoric tailspin, as we discussed their updated sound. It’s still the same Sonnymoon we fell in love with circa Golden Age, but it seems as if they’ve turned up the voltage a bit on this one. We’re posting the link to the write up and links shortly, but for now, enjoy the streams and visuals for my favorite new track, “Near Me.” Feels like an out of-body-experience. Enjoy.

MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS-THE SOUL EDITION

The new year always brings massive periods of reflection for me. Not only do we all start a new chapter, but I have a January birthday, so I’m looking ahead and acknowledging my past simultaneously. I assess where I want to be,  areas of life to improve and lessons to keep in my back pocket.  I’ve always been an extremely deep thinker, and music significantly marks and highlights different seasons on my life.

Happy 2012 Blind I faithful! The talented Def Sound just dropped a new joint titled, “A Song Called Anything” featuring Alex Isley.  Most of us enter a new year with a reflective state of mind and a list of goals to accomplish. On the same note, the lyrics to the song are uplifting and optimistic and the message is simple: just be whatever you want to be!
