iVideo... THE DREAM - YAMAHA + NIKKI PART 2 + ABYSS (TRILOGY)

The Dream unleashes a 3-in-1 video for three records, 'Yamaha', 'Nikki Part 2' & 'Abyss', off of his third studio album, 'Love King' that was released yesterday, 29th June... I've already hit play and I'm well into the second record but yeah you should check it out...

I really like the concept and from the reviews I've read so far, he does good on the album so I reckon you should check it out, Love King is out now on Itunes!

Until the Next Time...

iVideo... KEITH SWEAT + JOE - TEST DRIVE

Remember we shared this song, the first single off of Keith Sweat's forthcoming album, with you on here a few months ago, well the video for it just hit the web so it's only right that we share it with you too...

What can I say? I love the record! The video isn't saying much but I guess it's your typical Male R&B Type video formula... Loads of pretty women & I cannot be mad at that at all!

What do you think though?

iMusic... The Dean's List - Repeat

"P&P has posted these guys before and since then I’ve been hearing the Boston crew’s name pop up all over the place for getting some major downloads and killing college campuses. It’s the kind of hip-hop that seems to be carving out it’s own niche lately. It’s hard to describe, but you know it when you hear it. It’s the kind of hip-hop that’s better paired with a keg party and a game of cornhole than a late night in a dark club with flashy lights. With Summer 2010 in full swing, I’m all for it. The Dean’s List is on their way." - Confusion

JUST peeped this over at Pigeons & Planes and I just had to share it... I quite like the record but you tell me what you think! They're from Boston, the same town as #wpgm alumni Notoreity Music and I spotted a similarity OR maybe I made that up because they're from the same town???

Anyway ENJOY the Music yeah!

Download: The Dean's List - Repeat

#SideNote: So I went HERE (you can go there and get your download on) and listened to a few more records by The Dean's Letter and they really are good... I like em anyway! Thanks to Confusion for putting us on!

I really LIKE This ONE as well...

Until the Next Time...

"Poejazzi, as part of its Year of the Poet season, triumphantly returns to the E4 Udderbelly; this time featuring Yungun - the internationally-acclaimed wordsmith praised by Zane Lowe and Mark Ronson, and who has supported Slum Village and De La Soul – with a live band and his brilliant upcoming album, “Middleman”; fast-rising band Benin City, whose Outkast-meets-James Brown sound is highly-rated by Xfm, BBC6 Music, SoccerAM and Reuters - and Inua Ellams, whose stellar one-man poetry show recently completed ten dates at The National Theatre.

WOW!!! London + This Summer 2010 is shaping up to be a great mix for live showcases, coming off of an EPIC night at Rhythm Factory last week Thursday, courtesy of Remedy Live, in which Ash Remedies proudly & rightly said to me "That! That is how you do it Ayo! The whole scene needs to bring it like that!"... Thing is, he was speaking the truth & it seems like the good folks over at 'A and O Music' heard the veteran's words because the line-up that they've put together is nothing SHORT of UTTER BRILLIANCE...

This one's another one NOT to be missed I tell ya! They HAD me at Louise Golbey alone but Nah, they had to add Sewuese to the mix & I am still hearing BIG things about how Shakka tore up the stage while supporting Eric Robertson earlier in the year at Groove Gumbo + I just randomly found his blog & iRemember seeing him on stage for Ed Sheeran's lil freestyle session last week Thursday...

The original record can be found on the 2006 epic debut album of Legendary UK Producer, Emmanuel aka C-Swing the Black Einstein, 'D'Illusions of Grandeur'...

"The remix is an unreleased one I did when the label was planning to release the single, as I remember I didn't get it finished in time as the horn players didn't turn up the day they were supposed to, so it just never got released." - Savvy

iReally LIKE this Remix!!! Check it right below...

I have to give it up for these fellas right here.
