A five year interim since the first LP, but good things come to those those who wait. The production and song writing trilogy Bembe Segue, Kaidi Tatham, and Dego are joined by the unmistakable vocal sounds of Philadelphia’s Lady Alma. Alma appeared on countless club classics from Sylk130’s ‘When the Funk Hits The Fan’ to Soul Dahmma’s ‘Happy’ and 4hero’s ‘Hold it Down’. Soaring with a distinctive soulful voice from start to finish showing all her versatility and warm spirit, Alma delivers “Two” into a relaxed head-nod-soul-experience. Leaning toward a hip hop sound, ‘Get With It’ features Brand Nubian’s Sadat X under unity and progression. Dego and Kaidi push a warm sumptuous melody driven groove in a way that they only know how. Guest appearance of Musical Director Akwasi on ‘Strawberries In Vinegar’ an instant boogie anthem. Buy the new Silhouette Brown album HERE.

After having heard the first leak of Erykah Badu‘s “Jump In The Air” with Lil Wayne, I wasn’t impressed at all. After having heard the second joint called “Window Seat” I was relieved as hell. Now here’s the Badu we’ve been feenin’ for. This one was produced by Badu and James Poyser and has Questlove on drums (who else?). Really looking forward to “New Amerykah Part 2″, which supposedly drops March 30th.

You might already knew that big man Ty from London is dropping “Special Kind of Fool” on us somewhere April. It’s the tale of an artist who after ten years, three critically acclaimed albums, collaborations with the likes of Tony Allen, De La Soul, Damon Albarn and Estelle, a Mercury nomination amongst other accolades, and a worldwide army of fans, has always followed his heart. “Emotions” is the first single off the new album and there’s also going to be numerous wicked remixes of the track from 2000 Black, Daz-I-Que and Waajeed coming next month! Big ups BBE, Raj and Ty of course.

J Rocc (third member of Jaylib so to speak), put together this mixtape of Dilla, Madlib and Jaylib songs, as well as some of their sources, essentially telling the story of this group. Stones Throw had some promo copies of this CD floating around for a while that year, then took the Jaylib section and pressed it on a 45, which was released as the bonus 45 with “Champion Sound”. Both the CD and 45 are long out of stock. The photos were taken by B+ of Madlib in his studio in L.A. and Dilla in his in Detroit.
