[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.

New music from #DK11 album alum and Kitchen favorite, J. Nolan. Missed his track from the THIS ONE GOES TO ELEVEN… comp? Go HERE.

[MP3 + Music Video] Young M.A – OOOUUU

I’ll admit: I’m crazy late on this like I’m Funkmaster Flex getting roasted by Drake but I didn’t really find out what this record was until I saw this Fader FB post. I was gonna be snarky and say I’d never heard this record once when I was in Bed-Stuy for two weeks a short while back but when I played it, a light bulb went off! This was the track I’d heard on Gates Ave. but was never able to find out what it was. It’s a banger, no doubt and her social politics are great: she got the streets rockin’ to an LGBTQ anthem!

[MP3] Tory Lanez – Diamonds (prod. C-Sick)

Latest single release from Toronto rapper, Tory Lanez‘ I Told You official debut album dropping tomorrow (Aug. 19). Can’t read the buzz for this record. Feels a little muted but I’m not in the middle of the world it’s targeting, truth be told.
