[MP3] BROOKZILL! – Saudade Songbook Feat. Count Bass D

Excited by the first new De La Soul album in 11 years that just dropped last Friday? Then ICYMI, FYI: the co-architect of that group’s seminal debut album 3 Feet High and Rising, Prince Paul has just dropped his first new music in a while, “Saudade Songbook”, the lead-off single from the Throwback to the Future, an album by BROOKZILL!, a hip-hop/Brazilian concept supergroup featuring Paul, Ladybug Mecca of Digable Planets, Don Newkirk and Gorila Urbano.

[MP3] Harrison – Vertigo Feat. Allie

Something to get your Saturday kicked off right! GREAT new from local alt. soul singer Allie with also local, buzz producer/artist, Harrison. Puts me in the mind of Tasty era Kelis which long-time readers know was a major favorite of mine back when it came out. Also, ICYMI, hit the jump for another ‘recent’ joint by Allie, “Move Like A Mystic” produced by 2nd Son and The Kount.

[MP3] Stwo – Fill the Void Feat. Amir Obe & Daniel Caesar

More of that ‘New Toronto sound.’ Except Stwo is from France and Amir Obe from Detroit & Brooklyn (I believe). Still this is RIYL Drake, Weeknd, Partynextdoor, Tory Lanez, Daniel Caesar, Jazz Cartier, Roy Wood, Majid Jordan, DVSN etc. Man, WATTBA in the 6!

[MP3] De La Soul – Drawn Feat. Little Dragon

Latest single by Long Island Golden Era legends, De La Soul with indie alternative darlings, Little Dragon. Brilliant. Looking forward to hearing their new The Anonymous Nobody album dropping August 26 that it comes from. It’ll be De La’s first album since Grind Date to be released for digital and streaming. Only thing sadder than the fact that the core catalog one of the greatest groups in all, not just hip-hop, music is inaccessible is knowing that the release of this new album means summer is really drawing to a close already!
