Anna Wise – BitchSlut Visual
My ears first heard the wonderful jam that is BitchSlut, back at Anna Wise’s first solo performance at Low End Theory club, late last year. I brought a friend along who had not heard her group Sonnymoon‘s music before, and this friend easily fell in love with the vibes that were provided that night. I also anticipated the moment that would allow me access to this particular song, whenever, especially before a night out with my crew. It is fun way to present such a perspective. The second single from the songstress’ upcoming project now has an official music video, which was shot on an iPhone 6. The pool scenes…

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. It would be hard to listen and not be inspired by the originality of this sound. Tidus lyrically looms from his peers, not only through his these dreamy beats produced by Villabeatz and Ed Weathers of Fast Life Society, but also his spiritual perspective. The way he uses…

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. I always enjoy their storytelling style. 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.

FemaLe IntuiTion is sO NeXt LeveL Mix 2
My second Female Intuition Is So Next Level mix is truly special. I played this one a lot over the past weekend and each time, it listed my spirits much higher than they were. In the same mindset of last year, I am featuring art which channels certain highs and lows many women tend to experience in life. It features new/revamped versions of classic, meaningful jams by Lauryn Hill, Queen Latifah, Erykah Badu, and Jill Scott, as well as some wonderful new-generation voices I recently came upon. This year, I have come into a deeper realm of understanding of what it is to not only be a woman in this…

Teedra Moses – ClairVoyant the mixtape (+Download)
One of the greatest modern r&b soul singers released a new mixtape called ClairVoyant the mixtape. Teedra Moses dropped the new slice of heaven on the night of her birthday, giving her long-time fans a gift for the holidays. Personally, coming across this when I did, completely changed my mood. Divine timing is real. Not only was I excited to listen to new sounds from the Young Lioness, so soon after she released her album Cognac & Conversations, but I had also been wavering on a low frequency mindset that was changed by connection felt through these songs. The beautiful power of music works through moments like that, when it…

Clayt – New Paint EP (+Download)
The New Paint EP was seeded a couple of years ago, when Clayt worked on staff in Timbaland’s home studio, in Virginia. It was the critique from an engineer who was impressed by his lyricism, but felt he needed a sound of his own before being presented to Timbaland, which served as motivation for Clayt to develop his unique approach to music. Working hard on his craft ever since then has allowed him to reemerge with new purpose and a new portrait of his visions. As previously mentioned in this post about the visual for the lead single, Third Eye, that purpose also includes establishing a pure art culture in…

Clayt – Third Eye Visual
Clayt is a Virginia native who was inclined to sports growing up, then fell in love with the art of words and rhyme. As he discovered his ability to write his own lyrics telling his perspective, he realized and made his mission to spread positive messages through his lyrical gift. He hopes to “inspire others to believe in themselves, and focus on the highs rather than the lows.” Making it clear that he’s more than a rapper, he want to help establish art culture in Virginia that he felt was missing in his youth. You can feel the strength of his passion with one listen to his single Third Eye,…
