LP: Coultrain – Jungle Mumbo Jumbo
Forgot to post this yesterday, but better late than never. Yesterday when I woke up, I was hella excited to see a new project from Coultrain as I felt a little teased by tracks he released earlier like “Streams & Rivers,” and the bonus track “When 2&2 Make 1.” I also was pretty anxious to [...]

MP3: Lianne La Havas – “Elusive” (fLako Remix)
After getting exposed to fLako a few years ago with his project The Meseket, which I had to review, I’ve become a consistent fan. Cut until today, I love Lianne La Havas which is common knowledge to anyone who followed my previous blog, my tweets, or my Last.FM or just conversation. This love was deeply furthered after [...]

Reads: Sheryl Sandberg ‘Lean In’ Reflection/Review #leanin #books #sherylsandberg
For months, I kept reading interviews with Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg in publications like one of my personal favorite, O Magazine. In the interview, Oprah spoke with Sandberg, who seemed to be a cool professional woman not affected by her celebrity stature—or, what I consider to be celebrity (she was in O! after all). They [...]

Album: denitia and sene – “his and hers.”
For the last few months, ever since hearing the greatness of denitia and sene individually, I’ve been a fan of them collectively. I was first introduced to Sene with his collaboration with Coss and Aloe Blacc in the form of “Only When I Dream.” The track which was from Coss’s project, introduced me to Sene [...]

Book Review: Steal Like an Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative
Austin Kleon’s book, “Steal Like An Artist: 10 Things Nobody Told You About Being Creative,” was a book that I had been dying to read since it’s release date in March of 2012. I constantly saw the book in my favorite hipster store, Urban Outfitters, however, for some reason I thought it was a fake [...]

Video: Quadron (Coco O.) – “Hey Love” (Live Acoustic Version)
I need to get back to blogging and I am starting this today. Along with millions of others, I’m a pretty big Quadron fan. Their debut LP still gets constant play from me, even their solo work — Robin Hannibal’s projects with the Bobby EP — still one of my favorites “Amends” and “Sneak Preview” to be [...]
Freddie Joachim – “Golden Temple Remix” ft. Mar
Somehow in between these last few years, it could be said that I’ve become slightly a Freddie Joachim stan. His production is soulful, but light I dunno how to describe essentially what I mean more than just to say that I love it. Today, Joachim is releasing a remix of his track “Golden Temple” which [...]

Video: 1-O.A.K – “Stay With Me”
Again for a late post. Last year, my dear friend and extremely talented musician, 1-O.A.K released his latest installment, Special Request. The LP which spoke to how talented he was — he wrote, produced and sang on the project, still gets rotation. From that project, he just released his new visuals in the form of [...]
