iVideo... SHATiFF - Love Bird (Remix)

The DMV stay winning in my eyes! I am yet to hear anything wack come out of that area! There must be something in the water as my homegirl Jojo would say! Anyhoo, I had this posted up on my Facebook Group like last night and iLike it! The record & the video! The culprits are DMV Native, Shatiff with production from Self-Scientific & K-Roc Productz plus amazing vocals by Gretchen Parlato. ENjoy!

Check it out right below!

"In the LoveBird SHATiFF takes his listeners on a visual ride and shares with them the beauty of life from his perspective. He sheds light upon the dark and highlights the calm in a harsh reality. Using intimate backdrops throughout the DC metropolitan area SHATiFF displays for his audience the serenity of people enthralled by life's everyday moments. He captures the essence of solitude and the simplicity of love, fleeting moments that only a well-trained eye could uncover" - Shatiff

iLike... Soul Culture TV x Melanie Fiona x Tinchy Stryder

The really good folks over at Soul Culture sent me this really dope extended footage of the amazing Ms. Melanie Fiona & UK emcee, Tinchy Stryder chopping it up in London recently! Check it out right below...

"In part two of our exclusive conversation piece with Melanie Fiona and Tinchy Stryder, the UK emcee explains how his recently confirmed new TakeOver Roc Nation deal came about and his plans to sign UK talent to the label [Stryder will continue to release his own music through Island], whilst Melanie clarifies the Roc's input in her career as co-management alongside SRC (label) and her production company, Title 9 Productions." - Soul Culture UK

"The pair also explore the importance of having people you can trust in the industry sticking behind you on your team, and Melanie specifically discusses SRC Records CEO Steve Rifkind's impact on her career. As Melanie works on her sophomore LP and Tinchy approaches his aptly titled 'Third Strike' album, they discuss solidifying your position in music after the initial debut buzz, the biggest lessons they've learned in the industry - with Melanie sharing some good advice she got from Brandy." - Soul Culture TV

I could watch and listen to Ms. Fiona all day, every day and I found it really cool how she's asking Tinchy for advice on her sophomore album... As a bonus, I thought I'd add the prequel to the footage you saw above unto here as well just incase you haven't caught it. #Shouts to Soul Culture TV

iMusic... MOXIE BLACK - SO MUCH BETTER

"'So Much Better' is a post-modern juxtaposition between anti-establishmentarianist tendencies and western eco-polity in the frame of global economics............NHHAT! Call it the summer-jam of 2010, easy to reminisce to, but so much better to make new memories with. One part indie-pop, two parts hip-hop, shake, stir, now drink it up!" - Moxie Black

After last week's leak of their debut single 'Risky Bizness' landed them a spot on Complex Magazine's 5 O'Clock Shuffle, Moxie Black are back with a brand new leak titled 'So Much Better' off of their 'How Did This Happen' album that will be available right here for free download on August 18th

iAlbum... SEA OLEENA - SEA OLEENA

"Sea Oleena is the sudden rush of inspiration. The long anticipated conclusion. The layer of dust on the bookshelf. The missed flight. The memorized view from a window. The space between. Sea Oleena is the voice of someone you used to know, in the body of someone you've yet to meet, following you through a dream." - Charlotte Oleena

So over the course of last week I found myself at Vinyl Meltdown ALOT and I was really impressed with the content they had up on their blog. One of such impressive content, was music from this Canadian-based young singer by the name of Charlotte Oleena (Sea Oleena) on her debut album titled 'Sea Oleena'. It's a 7-record L.P and it's really good... I'll share with you one of my favorite songs off of it, 'Asleep at the Wheel' & you can download the LP right below for any amount you can offer (even £0.00 but not recommended), after you've listened.
