JEAN DAWSON – PIXEL BATH

To describe Jean Dawson’s music is combining rock with house type of beats with a little mix of grunge on the side, then BOOM you have this dope project from such an eclectic artist. With only one feature from A$AP Rocky, you find yourself very interested in finding out more about this artist.

You can literally play this project from beginning to the end without skipping a track, if this is the type of energy you search for! They. only has 3 features including my girl Tinashe, Wale, and Juicy J. With quality production and real stories to tell in a dope vibe wins every time!!

DEJ LOAF – SELL SOLE II

It’s been a awhile since we heard from Detroit’s own Dej Loaf! I admit being a newbie with a breakout hit that changed the game for her is quite overwhelming to any artist for everyone will be expecting the exact same thing when that’s not realistic! You can tell that Dej has evolved on this project, especially with sounding so transparent. I don’t even want to mention who her features are LOL I literally want yall to check her album out.

I can’t even lie…I was anxious to hear Chanel’s project! Overall I am happily surprised, and she isn’t on here trying to be the dopest lyricist ever or have a trillion Black rappers featured just to so how down she is. To be down isn’t something that can be staged, and what I am getting from this project is a piece of Chanel’s life outside of MTV’s Ridiculous. Congratulations Chanel! This project is nice, and you will be shocked to hear the tone of her voice on this project too.

I can not lie…It has been ages since I checked in out any Papoose album.

Papoose definitely reminds everyone that outside of his famous wife, he is someone to not play with.

TREY SONGZ – BACK HOME

Trey Songz never seems to let me down when it comes to his music. I mean literally since day 1! I love this albums whole cadence as well as how smoothly it moves on to the next track.

Righteous – Radios (Video) Ft. Edo G x G Dot & Born x Dominique

Righteous “The Administrator of Truth” enlists Edo. G, G Dot & Born, and Dominique Gorley for the second release (video) of his new EP entitled ‘Be Conscious Of.’

“Radios” produced by DJ Corbett exudes a classic boom-bap, head-nodding impression with a soulful chorus that amplifies the energy from Righteous, Edo. G, G Dot & Born.  The animated visuals set the tone for a chill-vibe, a feeling radios used to emanate but somehow lost that grip along the way.

During a time where the world is oversaturated with conceit, greed, killings, and lust, “Radios” transcends us back when music allowed us to unite and vibe off each other.  Press play for that experience and connect with Righteous below.

NEW MUSIC FRIDAYS

Today’s New Music Fridays will be dedicated to my aunt Debbie. She lost her fight with cancer last week #fuckcancer…..My aunt always told me to not only believe in myself, but to believe in my dreams as well. She was such a positive soul who will definitely be missed.

Welcome to the month of October new music releases:

This is a dope project! The production on this project was lit! This album keeps the energy on high, and coming out of Cleveland, Oh with a their own vibe that’s fun!

I can see him going far for the vibe Westside Gunn brings is something that’s missed!

Thutmose made sure to drop his fans an EP to keep us satisfied until he is ready to drop his album which I am hearing will be out very soon!!!

MARIAH CAREY – THE RARITIES

The Queen, The Diva, The Legend, The Voice…the LADY…Mariah Carey is back with a project filled with songs that we have never heard before. I’m talking going back to 1990 to present. Mind you it’s a fresh breath of air to listen to REAL singing coming thru your speakers. Mariah also has a new book that was just released this week as well that I do plan on reading over the weekend. As I get older, I totally appreciate seeing the evolvement of such a talented artist as time goes on.

Nam Nitty – Crack Baby LP & The Hustler’s Prayer Video

Nam Nitty releases his new album ‘Crack Baby’, produced by Nam Nitty & executively produced by Nam Nitty, John Jigg$, and MXNXPXLY Family.

Seasoned emcee, producer, videographer, fashion designer, and CEO Nam Nitty, announces the release of his highly anticipated album titled ‘Crack Baby.’ The album is available on major platforms with the deluxe edition and merchandise available at www.secretsosietyentertainment.bandcamp.com.

The 12-track album features an elite group of fellow heavy-hitters including Hollywood Peoples, Chop, Voice, Bentley, Scrooge Owens, and MXNXPXLY members John Jigg$, Rockwelz, and M.O.U.F.

The quintuplet threat transcends listeners into the realm of a “ghetto child” and allows them to experience his pain and growth.  Nitty’s cut-throat bars and lyricism throughout the entire album undoubtedly proves his reign in Hip Hop, and although the NY emcee now resides in Atlanta, he masters a piece of authentic NY Hip Hop that is sure to have turntables blaring across all five boroughs.

Put your seatbelt on and prepare for a journey through the senses of a young black man in America and get familiar with his good, bad, and ugly.  Nam Nitty’s ‘Crack Baby’ available here on preferred platforms.
