Ok you already know who we are & what we do, if you dont, check us out here!!! Let's get right into it... I'm so excited right now, you dont even understand!!! We've got some real GOOD music to finally share with you guys!!! We got some new exclusive stuff and we did some 'diggin' in the crates' type shit as well but the overriding theme for this blog is... the artistes that we bring to you here, now are all new, actually strike that, they're UP & COMING... you could say 'About 2 Blow', I say THE FUTURE!!!
Right!!! So I love this song, I absolutely love this song!!! And that's kinda why it's goin on first lol!!! Its called 'Baby Mi' & I'd quickly like to introduce you to the voice, the heart, the soul behind this tuune! Her name is Sonia Irabor, but we call her 'La-La'!!! She says she 'lives for this' and my gosh, do we believe her!!! Because we're only here to speak about the GOOD music, lets jus listen ok...
My fav part of that song... 'I'm most comfortable with you like KINI BIG DEAL?'...
And JUS inCase you were feelin that joint (which I am so sure you were), we jus got our hands on some new & EXCLUSIVE s**t from homegirl, its called 'Lettin Go' and its produced by
RIES an upcoming producer who says he is the future of west african hip-hop so we'll have 2 look out for him... anyway check it out!!!
For the record, 'Baby Mi' is my favorite 'La-La' track but there's jus sufin bout this one, maybe its the bounce to it, the feistyness in the lyrics & yet the easy breezy tone her voice takes... I jus love it! 'Nigga please look at this face...'??? Jus love it!!! But that's only my opinion, you tell me what you think aight!
& turnin this GOOD Music thing all the way 180degrees round, we've got some of my fav kinda music in this bit!!! Oh by the way, we're at the G.O.O.D Hip-Hop section lol!
I personally have been tryna get this tune out to you guys ever since I heard it! Y'all know
D'Banj right (NO I dont have stuff from D'banj! Well not YET anyway), then you must know the colossal record 'Gbono Felli Feli'? Well in the last few months, a few 9ja emcees have gone and done freestyles on it, with M.I being the most prominent of the lot BUT when I heard that Falz aka Bahd Ghoi jumped on the 'Gbono Felli Feli' beat, I was like 'hmmmm' but then I heard this...
... and all I could say was 'WOW!!!', first off... BIG UP 2
Don Jazzy for such a ridiculous beat, hands out the sickest beat outta 9ja in the last year (don't worry Gongo Aso is up there too lol!) but alas I digress... This freestyle though!!! Ok the beat packs so much 'umph' to it & I feared that it took a certain high energy flow (that I hadn't seen Falz show in his other records, his flow was more mellow or laid back, well before now!) 2 ride that beat & oh WHAT ENERGY does the kid bring on this track!?!?! & this is me yeah 'did he jus spit in "Yoruba" right there?', it trips me how the guy mixes his vernacular wiv pidgin english & propa english language! What's more though is its a FUN track & the lyrics don't disappoint! I am very impressed with this record & that's sayin the very least!!!
'Look now I be fyne boy... No be say Na powder! No be say Na Powder!!!' lol
Obviously keepin wiv the vibe of givin y'all some new & exclusive music every chance that we get, here's the latest record from Falz aka Bahd Ghoi (lol). This one's produced by
David Evans from The Priority Club UK. RWD Magazine says Mr. Evans is the 'future of UK R&B'!!! (OK QUICK EDIT Y'ALL THIS ONE'S PRODUCED BY A BROVA FROM CANADA CALLED 'JEGEDE JACKSON'! APPARENTLY DAVID EVAN'S STUDIO IS WHERE THE TRACK WAS LACED & MASTERED!!!). Me personally, I dunno yet! The production on 'Doin It' (that's the name of the new Falz record btw lol) is alright, its catchy & it's got that bounce to it... why don't I jus let you hear the track yourselves???
SO don't hoard your comments, let us know what you're thinkin! I like this one but I've heard Falz better... At first listen I thought production on this was just adequate but after a few more listens, I definitely like the bounce on it! I'd love 2 hear your take on that too! Essentially though, I like it but I'm not bowled over (AM I EVER LOL???)
Forget everything else you've heard about it cos 2009 is definitely the YEAR of
REMOT. Goin thru his discography, its hard to believe its been lil over a year since he started puttin his music out there for y'all (it was exclusively for us elitist b4 then lol!!!). But I'll give a run thru... you know that Jay-Z/Coldplay mash-up mixtape called
Viva La Hova put together by Terry Urban & Mick Boogie? He produced a couple joints on there & HipHop DX, MTV, VH1, Coldplay & even the Jigga Man all co-signed that mixtape... & The Mick Boogie + Adele mash-up mixtape,
1988? Well he blessed that aswell!
Rolling Stones gave one of his productions, 'To Make You Feel My Love' (a remix of Adele's 'First Love') on that mixtape some 'shine'... Fact of the matter is, REMOT (pronounce 'remote') is really G.O.O.D Music... so let's get to the music, shall we?
'Modern Soul' is how he'd describe his sound and he calls this track 'Best AT It' & you know what's madd about it? We can SO flippin digg that!!! Check it OUt...
Damn!!! & that's all I'm saying! You say what you can lol... Naah seriously say something!!!
And to close us out, we have Remot on hand with an instrumental he used to mash-up Radiohead's 'reckoner' with Lupe Fiasco's 'superstar' for Mick Boogie & Terry Urban's
'2009: The Grammy Remix Album'... What we did so you can get a feel of how the magic happens is we've compiled the raw production with the actual song... so enjoy (hit next 2 play the next track obviously lol)!!! And before you listen... nah why don't I let you jus listen...
I bet you're thinkin 'Hmmm did he sample Lupe's 'superstar' on that track', especially after you've heard the full track wiv vocals and everything? Well NO because Radiohead's 'reckoner' is being sampled on this track! I know, I know, so uncanny lol! Lupe's vocals were sampled though and
6th Sense took the hook on that track.
OK I'm done talking, we want comments... loads of comments so bring it!!!
Until the next time...
