The G.O.O.D Music Listening Party!!!

Welcome back ladies & gentlemen, it's been a minute (lol)! How are you enjoying the G.O.O.D.M.U.S.I.C? So... we're gonna try & slow things all the way down for you this time around...

They say a 'diva' is the female version of a 'hustler', well then by all means, we consider our next feature a DIVA! Not only does she have the beautiful voice, the persona and the sex appeal that traditionally go with the moniker... She is seriously on her grind!!! Bred in the durty souf east of London with Nigerian origins, the very talented Ms. Elizabeth started this singing thing from an early age (while I was still playin with my action figures lol) but she hasn't sat around waitin 4 NO record deal, she's gone out & pursued her dream (this dream has taker her back & forth between New York & London), She's recorded and released her very very strong debut E.P 'Dont Say Goodbye' (which you can get from here) with the self-funded video of her first single aptly titled 'Dont Say Goodbye to go with it... THE WOMAN IS SO ON DIS THING! Off of the success of that E.P, she's now locked away in the studio recording her debut album after having been offered a record deal stateside. I know you're itchin 2 hear what all the hype is about... you'll not be disappointed truss...

This one's called 'Eternity' and I was quite suprised when I found out she recorded this song back in 2006 cos... it sounds really fresh, like new 09' music kinda fresh... like timeless kinda fresh and her voice is jus immaculate all over it! What do you reckon?

Ms. Elizabeth has been gracious enough to indulge us by blessing us with some records even in the middle of her busy schedule, what with recording the album and all... this next one we've got 4 ya is titled 'Make It Rain'. Recorded in NYC like most of her other songs, this one has that soft sensual feel to it that jus sucks me right in! Check it...

Sing it girl, jus sing it... 'Can I Put It On You Tonight?'... YES by all means Ms. E, we definitely wouldn't mind you showin us 'love' (the woman is gorgeous, c'mon!) & I doubt any brothers out there would either lol! The thing I like about this woman's voice, asides the fact that it sounds soooo good, it doesn't remind me of anyone and that's part of why we like her so much, it's certainly a different R&B vibe to what I'm used to... Yes she's still talkin about finding love, making love and losing love... cos I suppose that's what we do init BUT she still makes it feel brand new

And we were already good to go with our feature on Ms. Elizabeth when she sent us this next record and upon hearing it, we jus had 2 make room for it... I love it and its not jus her voice this time, the production (like on 'Dont Say Goodbye') doesn't take the back seat and she rides it very nicely... Well what I'm tryna say is that I like it SO you listen & you tell me whatchu think... Its called 'Only You'.

Let's talk about Ms. ELizabeth, shall we? COMMENTS please x


SO I was listenin 2 my
walkman phone the other day while thinkin of who I was gonna feature along with Ms. Elizabeth on this post & one of my favorite UK R&B records ever started sounding through my headphones and I was all there singin every word to it out loud... on the bus & all lol! I heard this song (the promo version even) 3 years ago when my cousin came round one evening with the tune blaring from his mobile, I've been hooked ever since... Funny thing though was the track didn't even have an artiste name or title, you know one of them ones lol but I remembered my cousin sayin at the time 'oh its one of my bredrins Uche (Uché) and I thought 'aww he's Nigerian? Wow not at all bad!' Anyway lemme letchu listen 2 the record first so it's not like I'm jus waffling on lol...

The track's entitled 'Is Your Love Exclusive' and it was a HUGE record back in 07', it had radio & D.Js (specialist & mainstream alike) spinning it on constant rotation making it a certified underground smash. But I heard nothing else from the dude since then so last week I decided 2 search him out and apparently Uche's been workin hard on this music thing and it's as if we hollered at jus the right time cos his newest single has jus been released & ofcourse he hooked us up... Take a listen.

FUNKY! FUNKY!! This song is heaavvyy and I smell a summer anthem but I don't wanna jinx it though. However with the huge influx of funky house tunes flooding the U.K music scene, some good & some jus awful & distasteful, I'm led to ask where the originality has gone? Why's everyone tryna jump on the badnwagon?? So I asked the man why the funky house route and he simply said to me 'As I'm from London, I'm influenced by sounds of London and I don't wanna be restrained by just R&B so If I'm feeling it, I'll do it!'... Fair enough & BOI does he do it well? Look for his debut album in the spring of 2010.

Gimme your feedback...


I know I said we were gonna slow things all the way down for you today and still keeping with that promise, however slightly though (lol), we've got some G.O.O.D soulful hip-hop for ya straight outta the UK... Like I was jus jammin with my cousin Remi last week and he flicked the TV stations to channel U & I heard this amazing voice belting it out on the chorus of this rap song, she definitely caught my attention... Her name?
Francesca Belmonte & amazing aint even the word then these two brovas, Burnz & Cash-Dro (who make up the hip-hop group D.N.A) kept my attention 2 the very end with their eloquent delivery & heart-breaking lyrics... Here's the record...

... & here's the video! Big-UPs 2 Sam Evans the director, the video is beautiful, jus beautiful! D.N.A describe their style as versatile and their sound as original... Its hip-hop but it's loads of other things aswell & that's where they get me & that's why they get the We PLug G.O.O.D Music co-sign! You can cop their 'Its A Good Look' E.P here & so you should!

The first single off the E.P is titled 'faith' and D.N.A are on some very deep s**t here... 'all this freedom of speech but we can't speak the truth'... Please listen carefully to Burnz & Dro spit that simplistic real talk!!!

& some emcees are gonna tell me that they have 2 release some any cheesy watered-down pop type record as their first single just because it's radio friendly??? OH Please don't come to me with such B.S, I don't wanna hear it!!! What I wanna hear is artistes like D.N.A staying true to their originality & the essence of hip-hop! Its DNA all day, OK!

As always our job aint complete without your inputs so do tell us who you're feeling, who you're not... what you're feeling, what you're not???

Until the Next Time...

We Plug G.O.O.D Music All Day!

  16. I personally dont think DNA are good, thier voice isnt doing it for me and the songs thier doing wouldnt sell in todays industry.

    ReplyDelete
  17. Thanks for coming thru and we appreciate the comment but I got a question though... what is today's industry? If its Plies, Souljaboy, Richboy and all that other bubble gum music out there (UK and US alike), then YES they prolly dont belong to today's industry, they transcend it BUT if you're talkin bout proper G.O.O.D hip-hop like Kano, Sway, Giggs, T.I, Blu, DOOM, Ghostface then DNA would fit right in... thats jus my opinion though, I could be wrong!

    ReplyDelete
  18. Well let's just say that,all these artists like Plies, Soujaboy, Flor---ida can not be compared to artists back in the day and they are too commercial in my eyes. G.O.O.D hiphop was way better back in the 90s. Nowdays Songs do not have real meaning like they use to, which is a shame. We are always gonna remember dem old classics!!!

    ReplyDelete
  19. I reckon you're commentin in reply to my earlier response and I hear what you are sayin totally but I beg to differ if you put DNA in that same category as plies et.al cos 1. DNA sound doesnt sound commercial at all and 2. Did you listen to faith? If that's not real meaning then I dont get what is?

    ReplyDelete
  20. What the?!
    Jand talent is on the rise!!!
    I LOVEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE the 1st DNA song!!!

    Where can I get it? Whereeee???!!!

    ReplyDelete

    ReplyDelete
