SoulChildsSounds

Soo, a good man under the name Marlon Hall asked me to do an underground soul artist mix. It took me a few days to weed through the unexpected pitfalls, shortcomings, and surprises, but here is the first 15 or so minutes there of. So I had to actually compile this one, I wanted to "Mix/Dj" more, but with this... This calls for fades, and minimal showmanship which is contrary to how I operate on the regular. So apologies and thanks, for the following SoulPleasingA/CMusicalSounds.

The Keeper = Bonobo feat Andreya Triana
Love Like = Zaki Ibrahim
Different = Goapele feat Mos D
Hallucination = Cilla K
All My Days = Yazarah feat. Darien Brockington

Under Under

Who Do You Believe Inn.

Soo, I had this thought like in 2005 to come up with a themed mix all about religion it would feature artist of a not so obvious stereotype of their religion such as Brother Ali, Tupac, & Matisyahu and such. It would be religion reference heavy. It would also be strong and moving. I had always cradled the idea, Until Today. Since I had this ill dream, simply put it was snowing in August, I flew from the porch in my mothers backyard to the trees at the gate over her big plot of grass, then there was some weird effects going on in the sky but at the same time it was snowing in August. When I got to her, she exclaimed something to the issue of "its the end of the world". Then my pseudo-dumbass says: "Thats why I've been going to church", then fly off. WEIRD. All dreams aside this is not of the same technicality that I have aforementioned. It is of the same thematic nature... Just me in my current state of affairs, especially within the past few days have only now begun to understand a few things. I read something yesterday that flipped a few things, ish was deep too. Not philosophical at all, but better than some of these half-ass twitter and facebook status's I've been reading. Still it struck a nerve. So I leave you with that statement: Don't be afraid of death. Be afraid you're life won't start.

Let Us Pray

Before Wayne and Jay-Z there was A Man. . .

Soo, I can fondly remember being a kid in '93 at a private school on the West Side of Cleveland, Oh. Where there, there was this kid(of course white), he was named Eric. One of those not necessarily trying to "act" of a different nature, but rather was just bad and a product of his environment. Anyway, we were in gym class, and it was like one of the last days of school, you know the half-ass ones where you don't even change out of uniform. So, Eric is telling me about this tape he took from his brother, he pulls it out and low and behold. Its Tupac's second album, Strictly 4 My N.I.G.G.A.Z. Which by the way, I never understood what it stood for? Even before that I remember seeing a short cameo from when he was a member of Digital Underground, in the mover Nothing But Trouble. Then to only go a few years later and drop a Grammy nominated Album supllied by A Grammy nominated Single. Then to further that. . . You know what this man has accomplished. Then only to fall from Grace, then be resurrected numerous occasions through music, ink, and fine arts. If you are unfamiliar, please do your work on his WikiPedia Page. Without further adieu; All Eyez On Makaveli Against The World *This is a culmination of the final three official solely dedicated albums*

Me & My Sunday

Ahhh Sunday, the wackness of what has been your week is gone by. DONE / OVER / FINITO / FIN! Chances are you have put your sunday sleep in jeopardy with a late night of vices and sins, but hey, I hope you put your heart in it. Now, all you want to do is (according to the weather); drink lemonade and chill out & maybe (go) get something to eat OR, Sleep, wake up, eat, repeat. At least thats kind of how my sunday would go in my ideal world. Speaking of my ideal world, every great character needs music, not necessarily theme music per se, but some good background music. So I think if I could score my sunday in under 15 minutes, this is roughly the score to my ideal sunday. Soo, Ladies, more Ladies, and Gentlemen; My Ideal Sunday Score (as broken down by times not song numbers):

11:00am / Groove = Bobby Lyle
2:00pm / Harlem River Drive = Eddie Palmieri
6:00pm / As = Gene Harris ant The Three Sounds
9:00pm / Lush Life = Nancy Wilson

Get With It

The Modern Grown Folk

Sooo, back in the gap they had some good solid bands ranging from Maze feat. Frankie Beverly to Pink Floyd, even out to Abba, The Sex Pistols, & The Gap Band were all great bands. Some still touring today, either that or getting fat off publishing checks. Which now leads to today to some of these old birds to have saying "You don't know nothing about that there", or "Thats before your time", and my favorite "OHHH. Thats grown folks music". Which lead me to put together a reflection of some artist (*SOME ARTIST*) who would be considered as "Grown Folks Music" for some modern adults. These are just some of the ever widening artist who produce good music, both Independent and Commercially. Very seldom on the commercial tip, but still. SO PLEASE support these artist. None the less, I have selected a few; and one artist on this selection will be performing at Our Image Film Festival, today here in Houston, Tx at Cafe 4212. Located at 4212 Almeda. His name is Bel_Ami, the man is uber-talented. Please once again show your support.
1) Mmm Hmm - Erykah Badu
2) Run Away - Georgia Anne Muldrow
3) Many People - Amir Bel.Ami

Start/Relive The Week

I was deemed an "Out Cast"

Soo, today I quickly delve into the world of the greatest duo of all time, arguably across the board but definitely in Rap AND Hip-Hop (YES THERE IS A DIFFERENCE): the certified diamond selling, 5 mics(when it ment something) world renowned Outkast! ! ! In this mix I tried to stay away from guest appearances, but if you know Outkasts story than you know there was the influence of Erykah Badu who is I believe the only actual noteable guest, outside of that that straight Kast folk. Which I must say I or one could not compile an essential Outkast mix, which this is not, in the span of 15 minutes. This is simply what I felt when I stepped to my turntables this morning. Sure its all above the 105 BPM mark, but still... SO! Ladies, More Ladies & Gentlemen I present Dat Kast; Outkast. Oh yeah, hey! They even had their own clothing line
1/Wheelz Of Steel - Outkast

THE BEYONCE KILLER (based on the general publics opinion)

MILF. So she is "supposedly" 51. . . Whatevah. This woman is killing Beyonce. Lady GaGa. Halle Berry. (Your Name Here). (Any woman you ever thought was attractive) Any woman who has ever _________ in they life. ENOUGH. You get my point. Anyways. LETS START THE SHOW.

MONUMENTAL

Daddy! What was his name again? ? ?

Sooo. If God has ever done a collaboration with him self(hey! he's omnipresent as well as the trinity[to some]) then I believe this might be Gods collaboration of James Brown x Huey Newton x David Bowie x Moses x Sade x & Hennessey(yea I said it SUCKA). WALAH! Birth of Gil Scott-Heron! This man is uber talented, Poet, Revolutionary, Musician, & quite possibly the only man who could back hand Filmore Slim & Samuel L. Jackson and walk off with out second guessing. The man is so cold he hasn't made a complete studio album in like roughly twenty to thirty(20-30) years, then comes at our brains heavy like he ain't went nowhere(yep and I stand by my grammar). Here it is well overdue the new release from Gil Scott-Heron off the album I'm New Here - Me and The Devil:
