Before we get into this, let me acknowledge all the positive feedback I got for my playlist a couple of days ago. It’s always a pleasure to put people on to the sauce down here. Today, I felt like hightlighting music that treads off the beaten R&B and hip-hop path. Nowadays, where catering to...

First of all, I could care less to know what brought about this Wiz Khalifa and AD collaboration. Secondly, I don’t really care to agonize about the project it will end up on: as of this writing it’s only available (from a verified source) on YouTube. I really don’t care because this is as...

This is undoubtedly one of my favorite playlists concepts and it’s always fun to bring in a new piece. As Valentine’s Day is approaching, I thought I’d revisit it and help some of you fellas out. So, after an evening of fine dining and an elaborate flower and sweets gift combo — don’t be...

…Because that’s the feeling I was going with. They been told me DJ Okoro, you’re all about the sweet moments and lovely times. But just in case you didn’t knew, your boy can get grimey and all that if the occasion calls for it! And this is just a little exhibit of how sick...

R&Cs: Hot Shower

I was bemused that, after all the buildup to its release, the promo push for Chance The Rapper’s debut studio album, The Big Day, was rather tame. Maybe it had to do with some of the dispiriting feedback, or the powers that be thought that the album — essentially a big celebration of love...

R&Cs: Down Bad

October 24, 2019February 13, 2020Roll and CoastersLeave a comment

It bears repeating that Dreamville’s ROTD3 compilation is absolutely jam-packed! So, it shouldn’t surprise to expect and fete a long rollout of singles. “Down Bad” picks up where the DaBaby-assisted “Under The Sun” left off. There’s NO WAY I’d have been able to sustain the frenetic pace that J. Cole and crew start us...

R&Cs: Family and Loyalty

I can’t quite describe the delight that takes hold of me whenever I hear a DJ Premier trademark production. I’m talking about the buttery soul sample chops. I’m referring to that unrelenting boom bap. Oh lest I forget those timely scratches! That leads me to Primo’s Gang Starr mate, the dearly departed Guru. With...

I might be out of my depth with this one, but I am such a big fan of Yuna and her music that I couldn’t pass this up! The Malaysian top-notch singer-songwriter has recently released her fourth (international) album, Rouge, and “(Not) The Love of My Life”, which follows the lead-off single “Blank Marquee“,...

As we waive good bye to the first half of 2019, let us look forward to the second half. Personally, I’m looking forward to doubling up on what my partners and I have been able to pull off thus far. Speaking of doubling up, I came along with more choice selections from our Ghana’s...
