iSingle... Barry Southgate - Don't You Think?

Lemme draw your ears to the recently released first single from emerging Australian singer/songwriter Barry Southgate titled 'Don't You Think?' off of his forthcoming EP 'Epitome' to be released this quarter. This has been sitting in my inbox all year for some stupid reason but alas I came back to my senses after Barry sent me a reminder email the other day. Check it out,, why don't you?

I'll hold off on the comparisons this early in Barry's career. He's doing his own thing and his voice sounds amazing + this song is a really good pop song with a little reggae sprinkling that just works and if you like it, support Barry Southgate and purchase his single right below...

iMusic... Phishaman + Bem Iordaah - God Is On Her Remix

I never ever beg you to listen to a song BUT I'm begging you to press play on this one... This song is simply beautiful and I was sceptical at first to even listen to it BUT I'm so glad I did + the fact that this song emanates from Nigeria makes it all the more amazing! 'God Is On Her Remix' is the lead single from Nigerian-based emerging Gospel rapper Phishaman aka Mr. Phisha off of his forthcoming mixtape, 'ER Music' and it features Bem Iordaah on vocals!

I would never expect to hear something like this from Nigerian artists and that is why I'm extra impressed. Sounds like something Talib Kweli or Common would be on! Lemme know what you think though...

iDownload... Star Slinger - Rogue Cho Pa (Free EP)

Star Slinger is a BEAST first and foremost & an amazing HIP-HOP producer (dead that electro box you try to put him in), let this NOT be mistaken! The UK-based beatsmith/musician/remixer just released a FREE EP of six instrumental tracks he said have just been collecting dust in his flat and these beats are simply the business. This is pure genius stuff! Prepare to hear some dope samples (vocal & instrumental) being flipped the heck out + heavy synths & percussions + all around beautiful music!

Check out my favourite CUTS from the EP and then download the whole lot before you leave... This first one is NSFW (you've been warned!)

I've only gone and posted half of the EP, I could post all the songs because they're that good! You need this in your life so get to downloading!

iMusic... Tape Deck Mountain - It Goes Down

It would be futile for me to describe what you're about to hear so I will NOT do so + it's 1am and this song is taking me on a proper trip right now so I suggest you just press PLAY. I am absolutely drawn in as soon as the guitar strums set this song on its way and by the time the hauntingly lush vocals (is it a coda?) join in with the minimalistic drum patterns, the song has taken me somewhere different AND by the time the crescendo of an instrumental chorus hits, well why don't I let you tell it? 

'It Goes Down' is the lead single from emerging San Diego-based Alternative/Indie band, Tape Deck Mountain's forthcoming 'Secret Serf' EP due out on January 11th via independent label, Lefse records

iINTRODUCE... Sammy - Oh My! + Hustler

YOU need to check out these brand NEW songs that the good folks over at M.et.al just put me on from emerging Nigerian-based Singer/Songwriter, former Choreographer and all around RISING Pop Star, Sammy who's recently signed to Bit Bender Entertainment and is ABOUT to blow the roof off of the whole African Male R&B/Pop scene... Check out Sammy's lead single right below as produced by the one they call Sleekamo, it's called 'Oh My!'

Everything from the silky smooth voice of this very promising singer Sammy down to very head-bopping Pop-esque musical backdrop provided by Sleekamo kinda works, doesn't it? At first, it kinda feels like Seeklamo's production might be too big for Sammy BUT from when you hear that first 'Oh My!', tell me you're not just hooked? 

And for the B-side, Sammy and his producer cohort Sleekamo come with an every smoother, more chilled out track titled 'Hustler' which you can listen to and download after the jump...
