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.

One of the hardest working producers/musicians in hip-hop right now has to be Daru. Apart from drumming for Talib Kweli, Black Milk, Slum Village and others he also finds time to work on his own projects. He has released a handful of projects this year alone, one of which was the great “A Work In Progress” collaboration with AB. His latest project is his third sampler called “Spirit & Soul-Hop”, which features artists such as Muhsinah, Kissey Asplund and Monica Blaire. The best part? It’s a FREE download, so head over to Daru’s Bandcamp and get your copy!

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..

AFTA-1 did it again. For GAS’D he put together a mix full of ▲❍▼❏ and you’re a fool if you don’t download this beautiful collection of moments right now. Nice to see that unreleased Muhsinah track produced by Flying Lotus on “Love Is Real Vol. 4: Vessels Behind A Moment”. We simply love the first draft of “7th Sun”, which is sounding off the chain! I heard we can expect more melodic goodness from AFTA-1 soon..
The months following the release of Love is Real Vol. 3 have again affirmed everything that GAS’D, myself and everyone else in the universe living for Love, truly believe in. We are all vessels, placed on this planet to create. Blessed with the freedom to choose our medium, true fulfillment lies in carrying out our calling to its fullest extent. Which is ultimately done, one moment at a time. One Now at a time.
We must choose to act in the present without limiting ourselves by the thought of tomorrow. Give our today our everything. Create at our peak for the only time that matters, NOW. Fulfilling our divine calling while fulfilling our life through love.
This is a collection of moments. Every one of these tracks has been the soundtrack to my life in many key moments throughout my journey. Including very recent ones. As this mix itself was created in a moment. One sleep-free night, three days ago while simultaneously finalizing it’s closing track. “7th Sun,” a rough draft of the most recent work for my upcoming album. So it’s only right that we also drop this mix at a moment’s notice.
Without further a do, Enjoy this collection of Love sounds old, new, and in-between from some past LIR favorites, some good friends, & hopefully some artists you may not have heard before. And of course, you know how we set the vibe…Dim the lights, light one up and float.

Some fresh beats for ya’ll to chill to and the project goes by the name of “Soundfreakers Vol #1″. Now what could be greater than a FREE download?!?! Enjoy this one and thanks to Slim & BamaLoveSoul..

With the release of “The Oscillations: Square” as an Artist Direct {Digital Exclusive}, avant mod indie label, Rxlngr has taken some unprecidented steps in releasing the compiled works from 2003-2008 of it 1st and arguably most promising artist, Muhsinah. The new installment comes amidst the overwhelming anticipation of the 3rd installment, “The Oscillations: Triangle” (which is still being recorded).
In a nutshell… 7/20 is Muhsinah’s birthday and “The Oscillations: Square” is in a sense, The Golden Girl’s gift to the fans. 13 tracks that would surely be lost to time if not for this release. “Gems” if you will, polished to be shared. Hopefully this will hold you all over until The Oscillations: Triangle is complete. This digital exclusive can be bought via 21bizarre. Oh and happy Birthday to miss Sinah of course!
Muhsinah – More

Here we are again on this crazy, lazy sunday afternoon with a giganticly slept on joint for you to spark. This week it was our buddies from BamaLoveSoul that made us realize we’ve been sleeping on – ex-Jamiroquai bassist Stuart Zender‘s side project - AZUR (pronounced Az U R) like sleeping beauty. The project was to show off the men’s writing skills and Stu’s own producing talents on the Virgin Records label. The group was to feature a horn section from Cuba, Pino Palladino, and D’Angelo. A single was planned (major worldwide release) for Spring 2000. So what went wrong? It seems Tyrese did. Virgin’s decision to release and promote the Tyrese album seemed to upset Stu. I don’t know why or how fully this is true but we know the result. Virgin Records kept sending money to Stuart & Donny for the AZUR project, but AZUR kept sending back no word. Virgin decided to call it quits and so the album disappeared.
“Love is So Cold” (featuring D’Angelo) was originally slated as “My Baby’s Eyes” for D’Angelo’s Voodoo album, but I guess he cut it. Smooth delivery, subtle bassline and light percussion. I didn’t realize before, but this is on Yoda II release too. So I guess I overslept on this one right here…
The track was also brilliantly sampled by Exile on his latest “Radio” album…Stay Tunes (Stay Here).

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!

The Adroit Adventures EP is the first official release of 23 year old beat navigator Paul Movahedi, also known as The Clonious. The EP includes a version of “Fogged Spacesuit”, available only on this release, and an exclusive Dorian Concept remix or “Emora”. Our favorite track of this EP is “One At A Time” blessed by the lovely voice of Muhsinah. The EP will be released on Ubiquity Records on June 9th. Big up to DJ Brainchild and HZA
