Rebel II America - Music Upcoming Female ArtistMED & TALIB KWELI - CLASSIC (free download)Copywrite - Forever & A Day (Download) In the wake of so much loss, sometimes you can find enlightenment. Somewhere between frustration and remorse, Copywrite found the words to pen "Forever and A Day". Reflecting on the recent loss of his longtime friend and collaborator, Camu Tao, the words flowed from the page to the microphone. With a song this special, Copywrite turned to his other longtime collaborator RJD2, who like Camu and Copywrite was also a founding member of the group MHz. The haunting production matches the mood of the somber lyrics of Copywrite. In order to complete the song, Middle Distance Runner, an Indie Rock Band, was brought in to add layers and sing the hook. In the end, this track speaks to anyone who has experienced loss, regret and a longing for a loved one who has passed. This track is part of Copywrite's upcoming album "The Life and Times of Peter Nelson" due out in October of 2010 on Man Bites Dog Records. "Forever And A Day": Download
Black Sheep - "Come Back Home" Feat. P&V (download) + "For The Record" Video Black Sheep Celebrates New Album With A Video And A New Single That Considers The Life Of Hip-Hop In celebration of the new album, From The Black Pool Of Genius, Black Sheep is releasing a new nostalgic single called "Come Back Home" featuring the new dynamic R&B duo P&V. The track opens with a monologue, "Oh word. Ain't seen you in a hundred. Oh, come on now, I'm chilling; you can listen to the music and tell that." The song delivers on the promise of hang-out music with a bittersweet but accepting vibe and a slow beat using a soft keyboard with reverb to spit over. But listening closely to the lyrics, it isn't just another hang-out song nor is it a song about the romance of a woman. It is really a metaphor for the desire of more significant hip-hop in contemporary culture. "'Come Back Home' is in the vein of Common's 'I Used To Love H.E.R.', and perhaps skewed a bit to my perspective," says Dres. "It speaks of the want for a more sincere meaningful hip-hop, but attests the willingness to accept what it's become and move forward." Dres of Black Sheep also celebrates with a video for the song, "For The Record" from the new album. Shot on a rooftop at sunset in New York City, it brings a sense of peacefulness over the song. Especially with a clear and pleasant piano melody on top of the beat, one would believe that it is just a quiet song with little to say. However, says Dres, "'For The Record' is a quiet song that speaks loudly and also is me giving a little backhand to the powers that be," continuing, "I don't see them moving in the best interest of the people. I'm just shining a little light on the situation." Look for the album, From The Black Pool Of Genius out today via Bum Rush Records. Listen to "Come Back Home" Feat.

MP3: Frank Nitt - "L.O.V.E." (Featuring DJ Quik & J. Black) "In a climate where many hip-hop songs take their listeners on dark journeys through street life, or playful romps through many of life's vices it's refreshing to hear an emcee brush his bravado to the side. Frank Nitt half of the celebrated duo Frank 'n Dank does just that with "L.O.V.E.". Frank tackles the subject matter with an honesty and directness that nearly betrays the feel-good subject matter the Detroit emcee typically brings to his listeners. Nitt assembled an incredible cast to help bring his amorous creation to life. The track was produced by Terrace Martin and features both legendary West Coast rapper and producer DJ Quik and crooner J. Black. "He didn't write anything down. He just went in and killed it, " Frank said of his experience with DJ Quik in the studio. The chemistry is apparent, and Nitt knocks another one out the park for the storied Delicious Vinyl label. In fact, the combination of talent proved so potent, the track found its way to a spot on The L.A. Times coveted Pop And Hiss blog."

The Forbidden Dialect - Doonies Shoes (Download) "Doonie's Shoes" from the album "More Than Your Money's Worth" Bio: The Forbidden Dialect is a Columbus, Georgia-based hip-hop collective composed of 6 artists from a diversity of backgrounds. Over 10 years ago the Dialect first impacted (or shall we say, created) the local hip-hop scene; becoming an influential act within backpacker, intellectual, b-boy, and even skater social circles. Each emcee holds his own, being a skilled lyricist in the most technical of ways. Their rich story telling, rhythmatic poetry, and urgent social commentary go hand and hand with refreshing and unique beats, influenced by bebop jazz, drum & bass, classic break beats, and Latin music. The Dialect’s sound is completed by occasional turntablism and invited live musicians, all with a deep respect for the creative and cultural of hip-hop music.

MP3: Black Sheep - "Party Tonight" Feat. Jean Grae (Download Link) Black Sheep's Dres Joins With Blacksmith's Jean Grae To Take A Fun Look At Relationship Dynamics "Party Tonight", featuring Jean Grae, is the latest single from Black Sheep's highly anticipated LP From The Black Pool Of Genius. The latest single demonstrates the long-standing power of the well-executed male/female duet. "It's a 'this feels great' jam," says Jean Grae. "You know, like a party that people actually have fun at - always needed, always timeless." And although Jean Grae says, "Of course it was an honor to record with Dres. The moment was kind of surreal for me," the feeling was mutual. "I had a lot of fun with Jean Grae in the studio," explains Dres. "She's quick-witted and pretty funny... it was nice to see her spit too. Her mechanics are tight. All the components were there from the beginning." Produced by UrbanSoul Music Group, the track comes to life with the nostalgic crackle of a spinning vinyl, a reverb injected guitar melody, and a pocket rhythm section reminiscent of the soulful '70s. Dres and Grae draw on their verbal prowess to decorate the musical fixture with potent imagery of hip-hop's illustrious party scene, all the while remaining true to the actualities of reality. With a deft and poetic cadence Dres calls, "I'm only tryin' to party tonight/ I ain't sprung/ Elated, I'm a product that be native to the tongue/ Related, I'm the object that equated to the sun/ Just trying to seize the words to the songs you ain't sung," only to meet the humorous yet pithy response of Grae, "I shake it like the bar tender making my drink/ I'm a lady though/ Think before you play me close/ Party on further than Wayne, Garth/ harder than Richards, Keith". A mellow soul banger, "Party Tonight" is yet another triumphant track coming from a freshly groomed Black Sheep. Fans can also check out Dres representing Black Sheep with the official From The Black Pool Of Genius album release party Tuesday, June 29th at Taj, where Dres will be performing tracks from the new album. Doors open for the free show at 8:00, and the concert starts at 10:00. Taj is located at 48 West 21st Street New York, NY 10010-6907 (212) 620-3033.
