the 'itis' ..... JBiii

New video from jesse boykins iii taken from the beauty created. Cop the record if you haven't.

Tre Williams is a true revelation

Bumped into the revelations featuring tre williams when i was checking out some new records :). This is real soul music at it's best. The debut LP entitled the bleeding edge is reminiscent of the stax and motown era of the 70's. The bleeding edge is an album worth checking out if you're tired of all that commercial ish out there. I have been a bit late discovering these cats, but it's been worth the delay.

A must purchase :)

on some reminisce ish

Jaheim's debut album ghetto love was released in 2001(divine records - Kaygee of Naughty by Nature). Have to say ghetto love and still ghetto are me favourite jah albums. His fifth studio album(Atlantic records) is due out next February. It features the new single ain't leaving without u.

I'd do it all again is taken from corinne bailey rae's new record the sea out in february.
