I remember a few years ago I heard this RoddyRod song and eversince it has been labeled as ‘untitled’ on my HD. I knew Finale and Muhsinah where on there, but now I finally know the title of this track…“Keep Transit”. Low Budget Crew member RoddyRod is releasing his “Oakwood Grain II” album next year on Nature Sounds in physical form while it’s already available in digital form as of today on as well as on Bandcamp. An oldie, but goodie made available for free download by the homie Kenny from FRSH SLCTS.

A lot of you heads will already know all about W. Ellington Felton‘s “Postcards From The Edge” album from 2006, but for those that haven’t heard this one yet…enjoy. We never actually slept on this one…the blog just didn’t exist back then. Make the most of your Sunday and be sure to purchase this one if you already haven’t done so.

We met with miss Muhsinah earlier this year in Rotterdam and shot some footage at her hotel. When we picked her up from the airport I asked her about her “The Oscillations: Triangle” album. We decided to get the forgotten footage out and piece together a short video especially for our Moovmnt visitors. Hope ya’ll like it and appreciate the effort we put into this.
Camera and editing by Joao Costa, to whom goes massive respect! We recently got together with Ty in Amsterdam and shot a very interesting interview. If everything goes according to plan this video will be online before the holidays. Shout out to RBMA for picking this up!
There has been heavily blogged about “The Oscillations: Triangle” on all the blogs lately, but we did not want to withhold one of the best songs from the album from you.

We told you bout Nicholas Ryan Gant a long time ago and now he’s back with a sick ass album “Border Breaker” which dropped on iTunes today! Come get it while it’s hot and enjoy these two wonderful new joints we got for you. See it as a taste and trust me…I just skimmed through the album and I can tell you it’s well worth your money. It has some bangin’ remixes on it by Slimkat78, 00Genesis and Mabanau. Also a dope DC backup team consisting of no other than Muhsinah and Bilal Salaam. Much love and respect to Ghetto Falsetto for hitting us up and we hope this one takes off like a rocket! Support artists like this and BUY their music..

Ever since “The Oscillations: Sine” it’s been a bit quiet around DC’s hottest female vocalist. Muhsinah explained us that this is an oldie and nothing ever actually happened with “Plan B”. We thought this Kev Brown Mix was way too nice to just remain on the shelves for an eternity. Bilal Salaam supposedly did a remix too, but we haven’t heard that one yet. Mad shout outs to Rehes and Muhsinah for this one. Don’t forget to buy miss Sinah’s music HERE!

You must have recently read about the Diamond District album and rapper yU will be releasing his album “Before Taxes” in the form of a free download at Kenny’s Fresh Selects. The album will include production from yU, Slimkat78, Oddisee, Kev Brown and Bilal Salaam. Thanks to Okayplayer for the better audio…the version we had sounded a little shittier. Peep this tasty preview featuring Grap Luva, Finale & OP Swamp 81 (Bilal Salaam & Danedra & Slimkat 78) and be on the look out for the album.

Nicholas Ryan Gant sang as backup vocalist for Bilal Salaam (and vice versa)and was a student in the same HU music department that brought us Muhsinah. Big things are bound to happen for both these DC artists. Check out Nicholas’ Myspace for more music. He did a song with Jesse Boykins III and also a very vocal song with Muhsinah.
The first joint Before The Fall was written by Bilal Salaam and has Nicholas Ryan Gant on the lead and Bilal on the background vocals. Slimkat78 produced it by the way. The second song Mystery was produced by Mabanua. Last, but not least it’s Muhsinah on the production of My Melody and Bilal Salaam on the background vocals again. Enjoy and spread the love!
