Star Song : Young Johnnie Handsome – Cold Mayne

Another PHAT tune from rapper YOUNG JOHNNIE HANDSOME. This super easy-cruising track is the second release from his EP, Born II Win. If you’re really feeling this song, maybe you should listen to his first release, Sucka MCs right here. Man, there’s no two ways about: this guy is definitely born to win!

Star Song: JproD – Trill Shit, I Really Mean That

I’m really digging this track! Today’s star song is from super cool rapper JproD (pronounced Jeopardy). The New Yorker released his seriously laid back track, Trill Shit, I Really Mean That on SoundCloud –  take time out and listen to the track and  just hear the way he raps effortlessly across the spaced out, head nodding production. It’s absolutely wicked!

Although he has all the right indigents to become a successful mainstream hip-hop artist, JproD is not your typical rapper – so you won’t be seeing this guy making a music video in a club full of honeys! Instead he lets his lyrics, which are fuelled with life experiences, do the work and hopes everyone can relate to it. Aspiring to be a role model, he wants people to feel they can achieve their dream and to be comfortable with who they are – and not be afraid to be different. I like this guy already!

This is just the beginning of JproD, as there’s an album in the pipeline…so keep your eyes peeled on the reviews section!

So go on, have a listen to the track.  If, like me, you’re digging this tune, head over to SoundCloud and listen to JproD’s other release A Million Feelings.

I’m totally in love with: Remember – Simon Pereira

Remember this name – SIMON PEREIRA – because I have a sneaky feeling that this guy will be very popular!

The British R&B singer has just uploaded his song, Remember on SoundCloud a day ago (21 June) –and the response across the net has been crazy! Not a bad response for a first single!

Remember possess the West Londoner’s signature sound which is a rather unique blend of R&B, soul and indie – and I have to say it’s just the perfect introduction to this talented artist. Remember is a laid back, dreamy, production that will get you in the mood (if you know what I mean!) PEREIRA‘s vocals may not be strongest, but it very pure, angelic and best of all timeless. It just goes to show that a singer doesn’t need a powerful voice to make a hit song!

 Have a listen to Remember and tell me your thoughts on this song – answers below please!

I’m REALLY Loving: Loudery – Getting Away With It

This is one badass track produced by Marc Green who goes the name of Loudery. The Bahamas-born DJ/producer put a 70’s disco spin on, Getting Away With It by 80’s supergroup Electronics (remember them -Bernard Summer, Johnny Marr and Neil Tennant from Pet Shop Boys?). Although I always love the original version, this remix blows it out of the park!!! Have a listen. This funky piece is released by Nang Records. Vocals: Tahamene Park.

So you can compare, here’s the original. Which one do you prefer? Answers below please!!!
