[MP3] Listen to the new Rochelle Jordan – Pressure album in FULL (stream)

New soul talent coming out of the T.dot. Don’t sleep ‘cos you don’t know the name (yet!). This is hot, in the realm (roughly) of The Weeknd, Frank Ocean and Miguel to use some reference points of some like-minded (and sounding) artists that might get your attention. Seriously, check this out. And if you dig, go check out some of her prior releases on her Bandcamp.

[MP3] Listen to the new KJ – Water Album in FULL (Stream)

Despite being a longtime supporter of this dude, I had to find out about this album, which just dropped, from a friend. Why do some indie artists in T.dot seemingly not want to make the effort to you know, like actually promote their albums at all?? Check this out though: album features friend of The Kitchen, Brendan Philip and T.dot buzz artist du jour, Shi Wisdom.

Upcoming event from the homie (and excellent hip-hop artist), Modulok featuring recent Kitchen post subject, Wordburglar. Here’s the plug:

The Takaba Revue is pleased to announce the 4th installment this Thurs Aug 2 featuring none other than Toronto via Halifax nerd-rap kingpin WORDBURGLAR alongside hometown hip-hop hero MORE OR LES. These guys put on an incredible live show, not to be missed! Plus our resident DJs the mighty K ZAR and DJ SESSION with all their dirty vinyl goodness.

PWYC but, as usual, all proceeds go to support Antifa.ru, anti-fascist activists in Russia facing political persecution for their courage to stand up against the current climate of neo-fascist anti-immigrant bullsh*t.
