J.Rawls and John Robinson – It’s Jay Are
Two of hip-hop’s finest, and most under-exposed (in my opinion) collaborate on this track which has a real nice dusty jazz vibe. John Robinson is on the vocals and J Rawls taking care of production.This is taken from their album The 1960’s Jazz Revolution Again… which I believe is a Japan-only release. Do some homework […]

Credit to Illmami @ Soulbounce for posting this. I was huge fan of GB’s Soundtrack For Sunrise album waaay back in 2004 but hadn’t heard much from GB since. Not sure if that’s because he wasn’t up to much, or I just wasn’t up on it. Either way I was excited to see that this […]

B. Bravo – Midnite
Sometimes you just hear a track and love it practically from note 1. This is one such track. B. Bravo is my new obsession. He makes some soulful, bumpin’ future soulistic type beats – as if J. Dilla and Prefuse 73 had a musical lovechild. His label, Fritenite describe his sounds as “popping analog synth […]
