Raphael Saadiq – Come On Home.

(image source) I’m one of those who can only enjoy R&B if it’s 30 years old, but I make an exception for Raphael Saadiq, whose album The Way I See It is a great throwback to the Motown/Stax era. “Come On Home” is the UK bonus track. Check it out..

Raphael Saadiq – 100 Yard Dash (Live on Dancing with the Stars).

Damn, I need to start watching Dancing with the Stars. Raphael Saadiq opened the show with a killer performance complete with energetic back up singers and dancers. Saadiq has excellent showmanship. Have you ever seen a rapper give that kind of performance? Mr. World Premier via The Young Kingz Daily..

Busta Rhymes – Decision (ft. Jamie Foxx, Mary J. Blige, John Legend, Common) (produced by Mr. Porter).

(image source) I was bumping this a lot when an early version, which I’ve included, leaked back in January. Busta Rhymes and company sign a heartfelt song about being there for your friends and Mr. Porter provides an appropriately clean and classy beat. Am I the only one who thinks..

Hip-Hop Indie R&B Rock Video WTF

Black Lips – The Drop I Hold (Remix ft.GZA).

Via Exclaim! Okay, this is a few days old, but it’s worth hearing. Not as surprising of a combo as you might expect. GZA made a few appearances on the Atlanta garage rock band’s SXSW tour, and seem to have become fast friends. As for the track itself, it’s…interesting. The..

Lil Kim – Download, Video.

Like I mentioned before, I rarely post videos..but I had to chirp in about this video, just because of the WTF values of the song/video. This song itself is like as if Lil Kim was itching to make an anthem dedicated to Motorola 2 Way pagers, but didn’t have time..

Slakah the Beatchild – Enjoy Ya Self V2 (ft. Drake).

I just came back from an unventilated apartment full of drunk chicks and douchebag guys bellowing Bruce Springsteen. This track by singer/producer Slakah the Beatchild is exactly what I needed: an easygoing, relaxing neo-soul jam. Slakah’s album Soul Movement Vol. 1 is a great way to dead all your stress..

Chrisette Michele – Epiphany, Video.

File under: R&B we fuck with. Chrisette’s last album was a bit uneven, mostly because of the cruddy production. But I dig this a lot. Girl’s got an amazing voice and a lot of character in her singing. Cameo by Drake. According to 2dbz, Her new album comes out on..
