Beautiful soulful jazz instrumental. If you dig stuff like Bob James or the CTI records jazz catalogue this will be right up your alley. Amazingly cool throwback video too!

Poe Picasso’s Exhibit B: Manifest Destiny is out now!

I’ve supported this dude’s music before. His latest full-length project, Exhibit B: Manifest Destiny finally dropped on Halloween.

I checked it out over the weekend and thought it was really good but when you check it out, listen carefully and answer this question: is Exhibit B: Manifest Destiny a stealth Christian hip hop album? I mean never mind the artwork on the cover and the teaser flyer, I caught a couple references here and there throughout the album that really had me wondering and by time I heard “Mark of the Beast” I was like, this dude is either a full-on Christian or deeply fascinated with the Christan/Bible culture while the “Human” track sounded like a defense of Creationism! Nothing wrong with that (well, except if you really think evolution is a myth and dinosaurs coexisted with humans or any other such nonsense, that is), but I hit Poe about it and he said this on the issue:

“I just wanted to make a real, honest album with no restrictions, my references to the bible are just used to make a more compelling case for what i’m saying, i am not a very religious person beleive it or not, i am deeply spiritual though…”

So there it is! Check it out for yourself and tell me what you think though:

[Audio] Memory Man Presents Raekwon – Cuban Revolution Mixtape

This is an adapted version of a post on the original Kitchen blog inspired by seeing Memory Man‘s name on twitter earlier today [6.12.12] and realizing he put this mixtape on bandcamp. This was an amazing mixtape that dropped in advance of the long-awaited, highly-anticipated and actually-met-they-hype Cuban Linx sequel, OB4CL2 and still stands up to repeat listen today…

From Alex at Killer Beez promo:

“In anticipation of Raekwon‘s new album, Only Built 4 Cuban Linx 2, here is a brand new mixtape titled Cuban Revolution… Note: NONE of these songs are part of OB4CL2.”
