Phonte ft Carlitta Durand - Gonna Be A Beautiful Night (Official Video)

Have to say i'm still buzzing from Phonte's performance at the the itunes festival yesterday with Robert Glasper & actually more excited my favourite cut off the album featuring Carlitta Durand has visuals to accompany it. Robert's Black Radio & Phonte's Charity Starts At Home has been my soundtrack all day. Looking forward to that new Foreign Exchange album dropping next year.

Eric Roberson - Male Ego Ft. Hezekiah (Official Video)

Official video to Male Ego featuring Hezekiah taken from Eric Roberson's 6th studio album, Mister Nice Guy released last year. Every man out there can definitely relate to this song :). The LP has been a slow burner but has been getting more love the more i listen to it. For those that haven't caught Eric Roberson live, he is one of the best entertainers out there & u need to BUY his albums if you love good music #NUFFSAID

Kaleem Taylor - True Colours

The talented soul singer Kaleem Taylor is back with a new single called True Colours & i can safely say this is probably my favourite single of his to date. This is taken from the Alone EP out this month. I for one can't wait for a full length album from Kaleem & I should point out that there's no in the country that has a voice like his #FACT. True colours is produced by the amazing INS-the man responsible for Kaleem's 2nd single, it'll get better.  Keep an eye out for Kaleem if you haven't heard of him before. He is going to be one to watch in the future.



Kaleem has got a FREE EP out there called The Smooth EP - make sure you get your copy asap & get yourself acquinted.

Choklate is 'flying' on her new Album

I've been rather very excited today when i noticed on my timeline that Choklate aka one of my favourite artists is releasing her 3rd album entitled Fly next month-16th October to be precise. I remember hearing her music for the first time on Ronnie Herel's show (1xtra) a few years ago - bought the self titled debut album and haven't looked back ever since.

Choklate's sophomore album, To Whom It May Concern still gets played to this day as well as the debut album. I'm hoping to catch her on tour next time she's in the U.K. Fingers crossed she will do more cities when she's back here -note to the promoters out there :)

I suggest you check out her previous albums if you haven't heard of her before - thank me later :).
For more information on any forthcoming gigs etc, check her brand new website choklateonline.com.

Ray Robinson - I Wanna Make Up ( Video)

For those not familiar with Canadian singer/songwriter Ray Robinson, I'll keep it simple and say go and BUY his debut album released about 8yrs ago entitled What It Is. I remember hearing one of his songs on a podcast & buying the album straight away- I wasn't disappointed as the quality of the songs were simply breathtaking. It's quite hard to pick my favourite tracks off the album but these are my notable cuts - Pleasure is pain, heaven, be the one, i'm down & gone. The LP still gets played to this day- it's that good.

I remember wondering where Ray had been for a while and found out he had a single released last year called Don't Stop which you can find in all digital outlets. Fast forward to 2012 and he's got a brand new single/video, I Wanna Make Up that came out in August. It seems like a new album is in the works & can't wait for it to drop.

Dude is mad talented - make sure you cop his new singles & get What It Is if you haven't already.
