New Music - Janelle Monae ft. Jidenna "Yoga"

Newly minted record executive, Janelle Monae has finally released some new music. It has a bit of Beyonce's recent foray into a more hip-hop sound feel to it. Definitely not what I was expecting to hear. Jidenna is one of the artists on her Wondaland label. Check out his single "Classic Man" here.

Local Flavor - Crue "Free Fall(ing)"

I'm always surprised when people don't realize how diverse and talented the DC music scene is. Crue represents that portion of the scene that doesn't fall neatly into one label. Her alternative R&B/Soul reminds me of Erykah Badu, Little Dragon, and Lylit at times. Did I mention she plays the violin, piano, and guitar. AND she writes, composes, and produces.
Check out her DA CAPO EP and the rest of her stuff here.

Foreign Friday - Kent "999"

Origin: Sweden
Genre: Alternative

Foreign Friday - MoBlow ft. May D "Wiggle"

origin: Nigeria
This is not a cover of Jason Derulo's "Wiggle," just in case you were wondering, haha.

Throwback Thursday - The Foundations "Baby, Now That I've Found You"

One of my favorite songs from the 60s. Cliche, but they just don't make em like they used to.

Throwback Thursday - Gorillaz "Clint Eastwood"

Classic. I can't wait to hear what the new stuff is going to sound like.

New Music Video - Jill Scott "You Don't Know"

This about to be every scorned woman's anthem. Jill Scott is slept on. And somewhat rightfully so, because she doesn't put herself out there the way other artists do. She got involved in the Cosby scandal recently, but other than that you don't really hear about her. I appreciate that.
