Preparing For Teedra's Return


Have you still got 'Complex Simiplicity' in your CD player? That shit still gets rotation from me years after its release, which is a big look these days.

Teedra has been working on her sophmore release 'The Young Lioness' for a hot minute, but now we have an indication that the wait is almost over.

'So Kool' was premiered over at ConcreteLoop and then on Teedra's Myspace and I had to rip it (sorry). Its different from the material on Teedra's 1st album but still essentially Teedra. I'm glad to hear she hasn't compromised her sound and done any foolishness like put The Dream on a track lol

Anyway, enjoy it.

Bishi Bashy Special

I'm gonna try and do this regularly but in all honesty it won't happen.

A couple of mixes for you, not so new but I don't care.

Tear Up Jeans Riddim Mix

Sexy Girl Riddim Mix

A lot of new riddims which are coming out now are just old ones tweaked a bit (martial arts riddim > self defence riddim etc..). While this was refreshing for a minute, its now becoming a bit dead and meaningless. The 85 Riddim was crafted from the 1st digitally made dancehall riddim, but all these other ones are just being made for the sake of it.

On a positive note, Ward 21 seem to be killing it with their recent sounds, they know what type of bass would really freeze a dance.

My Drive-Thru

Pharell, Santogold and Julian Casablancas. The three got together for a Converse ad campaign.

Produced By Pharrell - Santogold, Julian Casablancas, N.E.R.D.

Bang the best

There's loadsa tunes I wanna post but haven't and now its like, shame they're a bit old.

Anyway, I had the pleasure of seeing Alicia Keys live a couple of days ago and let me tell whoever's reading that it was amazing. Her set was well put together (bar a few tunes she could have left out) and she included some nice interpolations (like Get Your Freak On during Ghetto Story and Step In The Name of Love during Unbreakable..I think). But her vocals were on point, she looked good and her backing singers were fucking on point, so much so they did a few solo's when Alicia went backstage to jam.

Yeah so here's a song for you,
Busta Rhymes - I Got Bass

Bangladesh has consistantly been making supreme beats, I hope he doesn't get excited and saturate the market after the way A Milli was received.

Erm ok T.I

T.I. - Louis Bag (Feat. Swizz Beats)

So when they talk about Gucci 'rags' they're actually talking about scarfs. Is subject matter so scarce that dudes are having to talk about their handbags manbags?
Gimme Rubber Band Man anyday over this.
