TiDUS – Soon You’ll Understand EP (+Download)
It has been a couple of years since Tidus dropped his last project, New Age, which included note-worthy songs like Delancey, Without a Care, and Apocalypse. He released this prodigious follow up titled Soon You’ll Understand. The EP comes to us via his unique label For The Future, and marks what I feel is the beginning of a authentic movement within music.

Fresh Produce – Duce
Duce is the latest musical offering from lyricist/producer duo DJ Red-I and Playne Jayne. These artists hit even harder than with their profound introduction, We Are Fresh Produce.

With rhymes like these, which instantly grab attention and will have your mind vivid with imagery, the entire album only reiterates how special and relevant this group is to Hip-Hop. Dj Red-I’s beats are something fresh while embodying the golden era. My current favorites are Black Brittany, Duce Is The Crew, Hit Him Up, Gold Pieces, They Left Me, and 2000 Years.

Knowledge To Wisdom Mix (+Download)
This mix happened while I was making a playlist inspired by the recently deceased Maurice White, of Earth Wind And Fire. I will forever remember the wonderful vibrations felt when I listen to that band. It’s so uplifting and timeless. Naturally, the playlist lead me into a new mix that is different than the usual r&b influencees I feature here, on the Frolic. Old school soul and funky rhythm and blues is one of the styles I heard around me, growing up, and I fall more in love with it all as I age. All but one of these songs were released between the late 60’s and 70s. I hope…
