Finally, we get the self titled debut from Brooklyn’s Ikebe Shakedown that I’ve been telling you about since April 2010 (read). Ikebe ( pronounced “ee-KAY-bay”) Shakedown, named after a favorite Nigerian boogie record, plays with elements of Cinematic Soul, Afro-funk, Deep Disco, and Boogaloo. I’m really loving the afro boogie vibe of Tujunga AND you’ve gtta peep No Name Bar as well, just good stuff all around! Get it HERE

This isn’t one of those projects where an artist steals a producer’s beat and flows over it. Bobby Blunt (US) connects with the phenomenal producer
Here’s a classic that I used to love spinning back in the day, the 2 step/Garage classic, Gabrielle! It still sounds good to this day; the production plus the beautiful vocals from one of the hardest working jazz/soul/house vocalist-producers, Peven Everett.
Although a classic, multi-instrumentalist Tanya Auclair saw fit to remake it in a downtempo style. Check it out HERE
Freddie Joachim is cranking out beats, remixes, and EPs like Master P back in the late 90s and the great thing is they all sound
I always love when a remix sounds as if it appeared on a cassingle w/the original. Nodzilla’s remix of Get UR Freak On sounds like that. Although, the beat feels slower it still captures the essence of the song and creates a blend that feels good, but also natural.
Nodzilla says, “Missy’s acapellas are truly a beat-maker’s playground. I’ve always dug her playful yet rhythmic approach to rhyming and I believe her style can work on just about any style of track. I hope you feel the same about this’n! Please to enjoy!”
Ive been a huge fan of Benny Sings since I first got turned on to his music. I was very surprised when I found out that he had a new album that was coming out and couldn’t wait to get it. Once this arrived in the box, I was shocked to hear the style he ran with for Art; at times it sounds like Hall & Oates or Stateless, and other times like Hall & Oates got remixed by Sa-Ra. In other words, it’s dope and you should cop it. You WILL NOT be disappointed
