Karma Stewart – The Karma EP
Karma Stewart is from the PPP camp and appeared on the track “On A Cloud.” Her free EP download “The Karma EP” was recently made available and it showcases her strong, distinctive personality.

Stereotree Presents: Beat Heroes Collection Vol 2 By Tayreeb
Well dang, talk about coming outta nowhere. An email landed in my inbox over the holidays with a link to another free producer mixtape/compilation thingy. I dutifully downloaded it but only recently got around to listening. Well I’m glad I didn’t let this one slip through the net. Stereotree is a French blog that seems...
Download New Paul Pre Mix
Well, it’s not that new any more, but I’ve been listening to the latest mix from December by German DJ Paul Pre, and it’s sooooo good. I first heard of this fella via Moovmnt.com and after checking out this mix, I’ll definitely be raiding his online archives. He seems to specialize in beats rooted in...
Wayna – My Love – Video and Download

Firstly she released a new single on iTunes called “Don’t Be Shy”, which is signature Goapele – smooth, soulful, jazzy....
LiveSoul – The Birth Of Soul EP – Download

Colin Munroe Is The Unsung Hero
Ok so when I first heard some tracks from this mixtape I thought, dope production and guest spots (Black Milk, Wale, Mickey Factz to name a few) but not so crazy about the indie-kid vocals. Sounded like some ex-emo boy trying to jump on the mixtape bandwagon courtesy of a hot producer. BUT when I...
