iDownload... The Foreign Exchange - Maybe She'll Dream of Me

Amazing brand new music from The Foreign Exchange. 'Maybe She'll Dream of Me' is the first single off of their forthcoming third album 'Authenticity'. Cannot wait for this album but I was just thinking while I was playing this that Phonte is one of the best emcees out there (if you argue against this, you'll die honestly) & his singing is quite up there, quite high up there even (as far as Rapper/Singer type artists go) BUT still doesn't get enough shine outside hip-hop circles. It's a right shambles... Anyway get your download on right below!

iSingle... Nocturnal vs. I Am One Project - The Movement

"I Am One Project announces the release of an exclusive single created by urban producer Nocturnal through the PC game APB: All Points Bulletin. This is the first time a song has been produced using a PC game and released commercially worldwide. The single, titled ‘The Movement’, has been produced using APB’s in-game music production tool and will be available on iTunes from 13th September 2010. ‘The Movement’ by Nocturnal vs I Am One Project was produced using APB’s music editor. The editor allows players to create either full tracks or 5 second themes. Full tracks can be played in the sandbox world to accompany game play, while a shorter composition will appear as a ‘death theme’ when your character kills another in San Paro." - Press Release

These fellas Nocturnal & I Am One Project made this record using a PC game! Granted I'm not a 'PC game' person & I don't know a thing about APB BUT nothing else can be said about this move. It's ingenious to say the very least and add that to the fact that it's not been done before! Do you know what the trip is? The record sound really good as well! Oli Rose gets me every time with his great and hauntingly unique voice. Make sure you support 'The Movement' when it's released in a couple weeks.

Until the Next Time...

iMixtape... FIZZIE - FIZZICAL EDUCATION FOR DUMMIES

I was listening to this last night and it is actually very dope. It's got the essential mixtape vibe to it so don't expect anything else (there's a lot of song sampling or covers shall I say of your favourite songs). 'Fizzical Education for Dummies' does extremely well to show Fizzie in his element. The wordplay and flow are on point but the punch lines are what gets me hitting the rewind button over again on tracks like 'Light Up the Sky' where he goes '... So I do me like I can't get pussy' or on 'So Hard' where he says rather bashfully 'I'm so hard... Peggy Mitchell of the Yard'. What am I saying? Get to downloading, you'll enjoy this

iMusic... Rob Carvalho - Loving You

"Reggae, Latin, jazz, soul: the eclectic sound of multi-talented musician and singer/songwriter Carvalho evokes them all with his captivating melodies. He started performing as a teenager, composing poems and tunes which later became reflective songs about love, society, passion and pride. His musical influences are equally diverse – think Bob Marley, Stevie Wonder and Meshell Ndegeocello to name just a few" - Rob Carvalho

New music for you to vibe with courtesy this Emerging Birmingham-born Singer/Songwriter Rob Carvalho and I'm feeling this one. It's got a Reggae (slash) Grown-up feel to it and I ain't mad at that at all. I generally just like the vibe on this record. Hope you like it too.

Until the Next Time...

iRemix... RADIOHEAD - RECKONER (ERROR OPERATOR REMIX)

"ERROR OPERATOR is an electronica/experimental/downtempo alter ego for a renowned House/Electro DJ & Producer from London who remains anonymous" - Error Operator

Sometime in June or thereabouts, I started receiving email newsletters from some anonymous UK-based producer called Error Operator and I found it quite bizzare, well extremely bizzare to be honest but oh well that's neither here nor there. What's here and what's there is I'll be sharing some of the contents of those emails and subsequent emails, well only content that I like ofcourse... So enjoy this one (got into my inbox July 30th)

I love the original Radiohead Reckoner and I loved what US Hip-Hop producer Remot did with it HERE but I liked this, what about you?

iNaija... AT - LIGHT UP (FREESTYLE)

"AT, born Atuora Erokoro (1990) is a Nigerian rapper from Cross River State. AT got into music at an early age, listening to various artists from TLC to Elvis. She graduated from Loyola Jesuit College, Abuja in 2006 and is currently attending college in Baltimore, Maryland. AT is set to drop “The Climb”, her first mixtape, summer 2010. She worked with the talented DJ Babus on the project" - AT

'My style is indelible, you're a fad. You come & go! Dunno what I mean? You can read a book darling!' - AT

'They wanna put me in a box but I never mess with squares...' - AT

I LIKE THIS & because I'm in such a commenting mood today, let's run the commentary below!

#DearAT you need to make 'When the Money Goes' longer! Thank you! #FYI I almost wasn't gonna put this up. You gotta come with a far better picture than that (gimme edgy but more importantly gimme professionalism)

#DearFemaleNigerianEmcees I guess y'all should pay attention, get off your bums & drop a verse, drop a 16, drop anything that's remotely on point because you've got artists like this knocking on the door. Granted her flow & her lyrics aren't aeons out there BUT they trump what's out there right now! #theend

#PPS #DearArtists If you're trying to get attention by doing freestyles over popular music, do it over music that people like ok! I read this homegirl's email & I wasn't really interested and then I saw the MP3 attachments, I just had to listen to what she'd done over 'When the Money Goes' & 'Light Up'... I just had to! Aight I'm done talking lol!
