A few months ago Rick Wade release a very limited album entitled “Never Ending Reflections” on CD. Only 400 were made, so it was kinda on the downlow. Luckily I got my hands on a copy and am now sharing a snippet with you guys of one of my favorite tracks of the album. Get you soulful Sunday on with some nice Detroit deep house…no more sleeping on this one. Rush Hour is taking pre-orders for the 2xLP vinyl which will be out soon.

Shouts to Eric Lau for droppin’ another joint (a few days ago) of his upcoming “The Mission” EP. Tomorrow Today is the day it drops on Kilawatt Music, so sit tight and let “Can You Feel It” featuring Guilty Simpson & Fatima hold you down just one more day. Thought we’d provide you guys with some buy links so you know exactly where to pick this up. Digital mp3′s available over at or visit the Kilawatt Bandcamp page for the 12″ vinyl or other digital formats.

Tall Black Guy is one of the few producers that can mess with classics such as Stevie Wonder’s “Too High” and Fela Kuti’s “Water No Get Enemy”. Can’t wait to get my hands on this and his previous 7″. For more TBG tunes you can check out his Soundcloud.

Been a while since we heard of London’s Eric Lau, but after his “Quadrivium” project he’s now back with a brand new single, “The Mission”, featuring Detroit’s finest Guilty Simpson. We’ve got an early stream for you guys, but do not forget to visit the Kilawatt Bandcamp page on Friday to purchase this one! There’s also going to be a remix out from Georgia Anne Muldrow, but more on that later.

Perhaps the best MC at this point in time, Elzhi, just dropped his highly anticipated “Elmatic” project which is of course a tribute to one the best MC’s of my time..Nas. Usually I hate tribute projects, because 99 times out of 100 they’re just wack and add nothing to the original. When I heard “Detroit State of Mind” I was just blown away. Not only does Elzhi add his own twist lyrically. Production-wise The Will Sessions Band also adds their own kinda flavor to the project which makes it extra nice in my opinion. I suggest you treat your ears to some lyrical niceness and download the FREE mixtape over at XXLmag (low bitrate) or in 320 quality HERE.

“Clouds” is a 27 track instrumental project from Detroit producer Apollo Brown. While most have come to know Apollo’s production for its smash mouth, head nodding, grime, “Clouds” reveals another aspect of his production ability. “Clouds” is a 52 minute instrumental ride, the perfect backdrop for reflection. Available on Bandcamp and Itunes. MelloMusicGroup.
