Well, by now everyone should know about Robert Glasper’s phenomenal album that’s dropping at the end of next month.  Black Radio is going to be one of the best albums of 2012 and will definitely set the mark for what future albums should sound like. This is no surprise, the brother is affiliated with every musician of note and is more than noteworthy himself.
To be completely honest, my first exposure to Glasper was via his 2007 In My Element album, and ever since then I’ve been a fan. This mix can serve as a retrospective of sorts, containing tracks from Mood (2003) and Canvas(2005) as well as IME and Double Booked as well as fantastic live performances. Glasper is the perfect bridge for any soulhead who happens to also love Jazz and Hip Hop or however you want to arrange it. Glasper, being the hybrid he is, represents the new vanguard who will usher in the new sounds and styles or The Next Movement as it were.
Don’t just stand there, press play and get acquainted and cop the album when it drops!

From The Square Roots to The Legendary Roots Crew, the Philadelphia hip hop band has always been well deserving of their highly respected status. When I listen to The Roots now, like most artists, their style has changed and I find myself yearning for their older Organix – Illadelph Halflife sound, y’know the soulful stuff. It was also around this time that they were cranking out remixes for others that really added to their quickly growing acclaim. Here is a quick mix I put together for the fans of The Roots who may not be aware of some of these remixes or for those who have heard that they exist but could never locate them. Enjoy!

One of the only ways to have escaped hearing of producer Tall Black Guy in 2011 is to be hidden under a massive pile of rocks! This talented producer has spent his time releasing countless original compositions and remixes that have caught the ear of numerous tastemakers including UK’s chief selector, Gilles Peterson. In September his remix of Fela Kuti’s Water No Get Enemyappeared on Peterson’s acclaimed Brownswood Bubblers compilation, which helped to truly spread his name to the far corners of the Earth.
To make sure the cave dwellers get up to speed, Tall Black Guy has decided to release some of his earlier works, remixes and lesser known tracks mixed by DJ Rahdu! Check out the mix HERE, peep more of his work HERE, and grab the download by clicking the tracklisting artwork

Last Thursday Birmingham, Al  was graced by a performance by supercrew The Foreign Exchange with DJ Rahdu on turntable duty!  I’m happy to say that the soul community showed up and supported a great band that chose to come to our city on their own dime. A good time was had by all and we hope to see you all again soon. Thanks to everyone that helped make the show a success, including the wonderful Jessica Latten (visit her site) who showed up and showed out on camera duty and for always being willing to assist!
Here’s the large portion of my set, recorded before the gain somehow got set too high and distorted the sound. Enjoy!
Note: This is not a mix of The Foreign Exchange songs, just a cool mix of soul and Hip Hop to prepare the crowd for the show

Here’s a mix that I’ve been sitting on that was supposed to be a Valentines Day release. After 3 months and several hiccups I figured I’d go ahead and drop it myself. The requirement was that it be a slower mix, and it’s a nice blend of soul and instrumentals, but I’ve been told that “you can rollerskate to this” LOL. Thanks to everyone who participated by creating great music and especially those who supplied drops.
