It seems Barry White is the secret ingredient for bangin’ Black Moon remixes. We all know and love the I Got Cha Opin remix courtesy of Da BeatMinerz which used some help from The Maestro to lift the tune from the NY Streets. Argentina’s Luciano Sola and The Walrus of Love connect to do theContinue reading →

Orpheus BKA Jarrod Lawson returns with the 2nd project under his jazzy alias, Intergalactic Rhodemap. Jarrod writes this is “part one of a two-chapter work which continues to further explore and define this intricate, genre-bending sound which Orpheus fans have come to know and love.” I just love the bounce on Loose Pancakes. If youContinue reading →

Drummer/Composer Yussef Days is set to deliver his latest offering Black Classical Music September 8, 2023. The upcoming album’s title refers to the description some use for Jazz, which is also designated as America’s only original art form. Both of these descriptives can become subjects of debate, but its undebatable how fire the 4 releasedContinue reading →

Hard Bop Saxophonist Tyrone Washington’s Submission is the bedrock of classic tunes by A Tribe Called Quest, Pete Rock & CL Smooth, Black Moon and many others. BBE has facilitated the release of the single on 45 RPM and enlisted Kenny Dope on the edit. It’s no surprise that the horns are the star onContinue reading →

It’s always a good time to get new music from Nubya Garcia. Lean In is the most recent in a slow release of singles, but no info on an album release since 2021’s remix album, Source + We Move. Sadly, I wasn’t able to make it to the star-studded We Out Here Fest to seeContinue reading →

Large Professor has been buzzing in my cipher for the last month. He did an all 45 DJ set to celebrate Bumrush45‘s 1 year anniversary, followed by the horrible Drink Champs interview and the informative interview with Talib Kweli. Next, he DJed in Memphis this past Fri and I’m still upset I was unable toContinue reading →

Tall Black Guy adds some more life to Soul II Soul’s 1989 anthem Back to Life as the incredible, Black II Soul. Just when you thought Stro Elliot crafted the Back to Life remix to end all remixes with Soul II Stro, TBG comes through with a true heavy hitter. TBG takes disparate elements thatContinue reading →

Gotta give DJ A-L a hats off for providing the soundtrack for next week’s topless, doorless Jeep expeditions. The rains have finally stopped in Alabama and I’m gonna make my neighbors mad playing this one as loud as I can entering and exiting the neighborhood. They may actually enjoy it though as DJ A-L flipsContinue reading →

EdSoul & MoreSoul connect to bring you an ode to enduring, unconditional love. The original version is great for “getting the party started” vibes. Yet DJ Spinna sprinkles his magic, galactic dust on the remix to get you on a dance floor with a glass in your hand. Grab this and many other versions HERE Continue reading →

A Tribe Called Quest’s Beats Rhymes & Life album is largely one of the most disliked albums in their catalogue. This distinction is moreso bestowed on the Grammy nominated album because of the add-ons to the lineup than its content. It still holds up almost 30 years later and the album cuts are as strongContinue reading →

I have been supremely failing myself as a Black Star fan lately. I did not go see Yasiin Bey BKA Mos Def when he came to Birmingham with Erykah Badu last month. Additionally, I had no clue, Tribute Pt.1 (which does not appear on No Fear of Time) was released on their Bandcamp page. ThereContinue reading →

I haven’t been elated about a music release in quite some time but the news of Jose James’ Erykah Badu tribute album has me supremely ecstatic like it’s a Soulquarian release in the late 90s. Sadly, the 7 track project, On & On won’t be released until Jan 2023. However, Jose blessed us with thisContinue reading →

Opek is a German drummer who dropped the really dope, thematic album, Corners last year. He believes connections take places at corners both figuratively and literally so every track is a collaboration with someone from his community. Pretty cool, right? The album falls into the ever expanding universe I enjoy which exists where Jazz &Continue reading →

Happy New Year! It’s finally 2022 & I’m super excited about all of the new music I will hear, and get to share this year. Mecca:83 & Handbook help me set things off properly with their first offering of the year, Morning Sun. I love Jazzy Hip Hop beats and the duo provide a vibeContinue reading →

I’ve been rocking with Guillaume Metenier and his Soul Sugar crew since 2013. Their cover of James Brown’s King Heroin made me a fan and their latest collection of dubbed out covers is making sure I remain in their corner. Somehow, I missed Excursions in Soul Reggae Funk & Dub which was released earlier this yearContinue reading →

Greetings all! I really disconnected from everything this month as I began to mentally prepare for next year. There is so much Im excited about for next year but I can’t front, I’ve had a tremendous 2021! I rekindled my love for DJing this year, and I finally found a copy of MFSB’s Mysteries ofContinue reading →

The amazing, first installment of the Jazz is Dead series handily disproves its title while returning the names of many magnificent musicians back into the conversation. Surprisingly, the end of the installment is presented as if there is another series to follow. However, if this is, indeed, the swan song, Adrian Younge, Ali Shaheed MuhammadContinue reading →

Last month, the matriarch of our family, my grandma, turned 90 years old. For as long as I can remember, if you EVER asked her what she was doing, she’d reply, “Im just sittin’ on the dock of the bay!” To this day her effervescent personality belies her 9 decades. Coincidentally, I remember her showingContinue reading →

RIP to James Ambrose Johnson, Jr better known as his larger than life persona, Rick James. Some of his conduct can definitely be considered problematic, but you cannot deny the powerful music he created over the years as a solo artist, writer and producer. Many timeless anthems are apart of his repertoire and Lakim andContinue reading →

Upon his death, as usually occurs with recently deceased artists, many are returning to The Mad Villain’s catalogue to discover/uncover the gems and jewels he left us. This includes musicians as well and Melbourne’s The Pro-Teens’ have thrown their hat in the ring with a soon to be released 45RPM 7″ for KMD’s PeachFuzz andContinue reading →

During the quarantine, I began doing all vinyl Jazz sets at Twitch.TV/DJRahdu and falling more and more in love with this oft-maligned artform. Like many, I was introduced to Jazz by its offspring, Hip Hop and this mix is largely inspired by their relationship. Grab the tee, spread the word about the Twitch sets (SUNContinue reading →

I decided to pop onto Twitch and play some musica to get me outta some bad feels. Hip Hop never disappoints and by the time the set was done I was feelin’ much better. I got my wires crossed and said Dilla produced The Roots’ Double Trouble, he didn’t, he produced Dynamite, but it’s DillaContinue reading →

I was livestreaming a DJ mix and played 3 John Coltrane flips back to back and began to ponder doing a mix featuring Jazz/Hip Hop hybrids. I decided to challenge myself and only include tracks I’ve received in 2020. The result is FlyJazzSounds, the 30 minute mix you hear once you press play. Although, inspiredContinue reading →

I had a great time putting together this mix of covers to share with y’all. I’ve been told this mix has something for everyone and I’m glad it’s able to connect in that fashion! All of my favorite genres are represented and most have been flipped on their heads like Kandace Springs’ version of LaurynContinue reading →
