Brand new video of FlyLo‘s “Cosmogramma” album featuring Stephen ‘Thundercat’ Bruner. The video was directed by team ‘Special Problems’ and is cosmicly soothing if you ask me. ”Mmmhmm” happens to be my fav and so I’m happy they picked this song for the video. Big ups to HipHopDX for yet another one. Album still available through Rush Hour on CD or vinyl or go for digital at iTunes
Good news for everyone! The Red Bull Music Academy is dropping the “Various Assets London 2010″ compilation album on July 19th. If you don’t know the deal yet, check out this previous post and educate yourself. We remember this year’s Academy as if it was yesterday and we’d like to give a big fat shout out to all the participants we met, hung out with and befriended. Can’t stress enough what a fantastic project this is and topping it off with a compilation album is the right way to do it. We were given the honour of bringing you this exclusive track by TOKiMONSTA featuring Andreya Triana, Oddisee and the homie Tranqill entitled “Jackin4beats Pt. 4″. Without a doubt one of our favourite tunes on the compilation.

Bravo, Myele Manzanza, Ad Bourke, Swede:art and a whole lot more on there, you know it gotsta be funky. Reserve some space on your harddrive for this FREE high bitrate (320) release.

This is what everybody’s been waiting for all year. Sexy soulstress Erykah Badu is back with a brand new album entitled “New Amerykah pt. 2: Return of the Ankh” and it’s hella good. She really got us worried when that joint with Lil Wayne leaked, but thank god that isn’t on the album. When “Window Seat” leaked I knew this was going to be like old times. Probably the best Nu-Soul album I’ve heard in a while and even if she did cover Sylvia Striplin‘s “You Can’t Turn Me Away”…it’s all good. Miss Erykah can get away with stuff like that, because she drops songs like “Love” and “Fall In Love” on Return of the Ankh. Been a long time since I’ve bought an album, but this is a birthday present I wouldn’t mind getting. Is there anyone who’s still looking to buy me a gift? It was my birthday yesterday and I am quite a nice guy. I suggest you start supporting wonderful music like this and BUY yourself a copy whether it be on CD, vinyl or Erykah Badu – Love

Prime Numbers are back with “E11″, the latest in their signature EP series. I like the entire EP, but must honestly tell you that Mr. Scruff & kaidi Tatham come like no other on this release. This massively dope “Fresh Noodles” song is nothing short from a gigantic soulful jazz-house production, which soothes the ears and gets you in to the groove. Kaidi has been one of our favorite UK producers for many years now and a musical genius in our opinion. The way this track is built up with warm keys and flirting flutes is simply amazing! Motor City Drum Ensemble drops a pretty basic house joint that kinda reminds me of some old Striclty Rhythm release I used to hear over at Rhythm Import. Andres finally seems to blend some classic Loose Ends/P.Y.T. (Michael Jackson) sounds with electro hip hop, but with a funky house bassline. Both not bad, but my vote goes to the first track on the EP. Definitaly worth a listen and if you ask me well worth buying too, because of that Kaidi track! Head on over to Rushhour to get that vinyl or for your digital needs vitis Fatcity Recordings.
