ADELE

So im sittin at home, scannin the net tryna find some music i missed out on from 2008
[HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL, btw]

and i've got a bunch of hip hop albums i missed out on, so i decided to look for new r&b stuff.


and i came upon this woman with a GREAT voice. Adele, based outta London. she's got a classic soul sounding voice, and it has got me stuck on this album, 19. She calls her music Heartbroken Soul...how dope is that?!
i'm prolly mad late on this joint, cuz apparently she's had a single out for a minute, but i never pursued it. Chasing Pavements anybody?
she's nice.
heres a few of her videos.

Friday

Of Gods & Girls

Aiiight ladies n gents, time to get my first official post in here...

so i'm finally done with finals. happy as hell about that. Break has begun and i'll post a lil more often now...oh yeah shout outs to Stacey aka S.Dot aka The Rock's Finest lmfao

so as i was studying, i was throwing on some older tracks I was jammin to freshman year and came across Mr. J. Medeiros.




So, for those who ain't familiar with dude, he was part of the group, The Procussions, who've dropped 3 albums, one of which is pretty dope, called 5 Sparrows for Two Cents in 2006.



So in '07 J decided drop a solo joint called Of Gods and Girls which was freakin crazy in my eyes. That album is sooo ill! and those beats are fire! There's a lil jazzy feel to it, like Constance which is the true story about a 13 year old Filipino girl who's a victim to human trafficking and rape...serious ass story there. but some joints, like Keep Pace just go hard as hell in regards to the beat. He's what most hip hop heads would prolly call a backpacker and a conscious cat.





He sounds like Zack De La Rocha of the infamous rock group Rage Against the Machine... and matter fact, the first time i heard his voice, I actually thought my boy Zack was back in the game and rappin. I was wrong. but I was pleasantly surprised to hear Medeiros' music. Shit was like a breath of fresh air. Still is, too. This albums definitely back in my rotation.

Here are two of his videos, coincidentally, for Keep Pace and Constance...

Keep Pace




Constance


I'm big on conscious rap. I'ma post a lot of shit tho. everything.
If you wanna hear some more of his shit, hit me up...

Enjoy
