I've started working on my next project for 2022. I usually start by playing around in Logic Pro to get my chops back. I quickly grabbed a Luther sample and threw some drums under it to play around with new plugins I purchased and really fell in love wit the sound. Nothing special... just a nice vibe to kickoff the project.

I'm all about unique vocals in music. Swedish-born, UK-raised Shaqdi has uniqueness in spades. Looking at her I'm surprised by her voice. She another in a long line of young artists reshaping World Soul music in the 2020's.  https://youtu.be/xVKisbYFoWEhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV2ay6JhR80

Lo-fi is the bastard child of 90's Boom Bap Hip-Hop. In the age of Trap and Drill rap, it became an alternative, something that pulled the needle to the other side of the meter. It was quickly adopted by college and graduate students and cool background beats to keep you calm and help you study. For us holder heads, it became the small island of what Hip-Hop we could still appreciate. A lot of my older beats still fit into the lo-fi genre which still makes me feel like I can keep making the music I love. My 2020 release, Lo…

I've been on a Neo indie pop soul mood as of late. Khruangbin fits that mold. I found them on Youtube during a live performance and it brought back that feeling i use to get with Trip Hop bands like Portishead, Massive Attack and D-Influence.  Khruangbin (/ˈkrʌŋbɪn/ KRUNG-bin; Thai: [kʰrɯa̯ŋ˥˩.bin], เครื่องบิน) is an American musical trio from Houston, Texas. The band comprises Laura Lee on bass, Mark Speer on guitar, and Donald Ray "DJ" Johnson Jr. on drums. The band is known for blending global music influences, such as classic soul, dub, rock and psychedelia.[3][4] Their debut studio album, The Universe…

Moonchild is one of the few bands that I know will deliver awesome music. There's no need to preview anything. I automatically add it to my 'likes' playlist. And "You Got One" is no exception. Plus, add in the awesomeness of Alex Isley and you got a definite soul hit. 

I've had a weird fascination with the creative endeavors of Will Smith's kids, Willow and Jaden. The acting attempts weren't that great. But when they were allowed to explore music, they put together some great gems. Jaden's 2017 "Syre" had two of my favorite songs in recent times, Fallen and Ninety. And Wilow seemed to drop a dope single here and there at the same time, most notibly 9 and Surrender.  But Willow's 2021 rock full length, "lately I feel EVERYTHING" seemed to finally hit the mark. I'm in no way a rock music fan, but this album is so good it transcends…

Once again, we're pairing up one of my favorite emcees with one of my favorite producers out right now. This joint popped up in my Spotify playlist and has been in rotation since day one. The full album, "Blacklight" should be out soon.    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2Bk9JJmrqG0
