Last week I had to give the guys from Tokyo Dawn Records some due props. I had not always been very impressed with their label, but in the last few years they’ve honestly become one of my favorite independent labels. Their new “The Heart” Vol. 2 compilation is yet again filled with scrumptious new music from all over the globe. Whether it be Kan Sano from Japan, Reggie B from the States or Häzel from France…this one is global. Heavy hitting comp if you ask me with loads of music worth spending your money on. So get your ass over to TDR webshop and BUY it digitally! CD’s are dropping next month.

The “En Kärlekshistoria” EP is the result of two guys from Crenshaw and Slauson coolin’ out in Stockholm for twelve days. TiRon & Ayomari decided to release this Swedish love story, produced by the Sum Comfort Food duo. So appropriately (on Midsummer’s Eve) we bring you this EP as a Moovmnt exclusive.

Miss Jill Scott has returned with her new “The Light of The Sun” album. Don’t know what to think about it really, but I might be biased. My expectations are pretty high when it comes to amazing Nu Soul artists miss Scott. There’s honestly one song that grabbed me and for this reason I decided to post it. Give the album a listen for yourself, because I bet there’s a lot of you who are going to love it. It’s available via .

Co$$‘ new album, “Before I Awoke”, was highly anticipated by the whole Moovmnt gang. Now that it finally dropped, I can say I’m just a little disappointed. Perhaps I was expecting a lot, but in the end only felt like I got a little. Certainly not a bad album, but it does sound kinda dated to me at times. Best productions are from Chief and Fonetik, but I also like “Pot Ash” by Exile and “Burn It Down” by Cook Classics. Check out the album out on
