New D'Angelo?

I do not know what to say!!!Im amazed,if this is true...But I will keep it in some kind of reserve,'cause its just HUGEEEEEEEEE!!!
Youtube clip of song "1000deaths" is no more available,so I just gonna copy/pasty some lines about this rumours from others...

2DOPEBOYZ.OKAYPLAYER.COM:"What’s this? New D’Angelo? Yes! And although it’s an unmastered track, it still puts us in line to what’s gonna be coming with in the (hopefully) near future. Spotted at FWMJ".

MUSIC NERDERY.WORDPRESS.COM:"I should be really specific about “1000 deaths,” a track made during the recording of his new album…. that recently saw light. From what I understand, this recording was made around 2008/2009 when D was just making his way back into the studio for thefirst time in a while. This track may or may not (most likely NOT) make any album, but the point wasbasically to remind you that yes, he is working on an album, and yes… it’s coming. soon enough".

MOOVMNT:"Past Monday marked the 10th anniversary of D’Angelo’s classic “Voodoo” album. After 10 years of silence, apart from an occasional featuring here and there, one can only wonder if we’ll ever hear a full length D’Angelo album again. And while various sources reported that a lot of new material had been recorded, we hadn’t heard anything other than ?uestlove’s leak of “Really Love” a few years back. However, an unmastered version of a track called “1000 Deaths” popped up a couple of days ago. This track has been referred to as a “psychedelic-soul head trip” by ?uestlove in interviews throughout the years. Engineer & producer Russ Elevado, who worked with D’Angelo on a lot of his new material, also spoke briefly about the track in his classic Q&A’s on the Gearslutz.com forums:

the song you’re speaking of is actually called “1000 deaths”. and i don’t hear the earth, wind, fire influence. it’s more like a heavy rock/funk vibe. it would be hard for me to rate as it’s every bit of a good D’angelo song than any of his others but it’s also different. there’s some really nice guitar work from him on that song also".

?UESTLOVE:"for the record i had absolutely nothing to do with this leak. i have a version of this but this was back in 2005. this is way more developed than the version i had. so *shoulder shrug* my guess is (based on the clarity —well more clear than what i had–) this was a 2008-9 Ruff demo?”
it means that this masterpiece of a song was probably recorded even last year"!

Enough said... 


Some jointz from his two albums...

Jimetta Rose...golden!

First time I heard her on VA GAM presents...Ms.One and The Gang (2009),which came out on her SomeOthaShip.And I was very suprised with her beautiful voice.Now...she released her debut album "The barber's daughter".
You can listen snippets of album on Bandcamp.She is simply golden...

Dimlite - Roo (A Dedication)/Feedback Childred (digital single)

I do love Dimlite...simply do!And everything he dropps is in my heavy rotation!I can't wait for that release on Stones Throw records!
These two tracks were a part of Dimlite’s aborted 3rd album “Prismic Valuta Rising” and are now exclusively available for download on his Bandcamp page. Parts of named album will be released by Now-Again Records (Stones Throw) in shape of the “Prismic Tops” EP in 2010, followed by an all-new album, later that year. Also peep the video that dropped earlier this month…

"Eric Lau cemented his place as leader of the contemporary UK soul movement following his debut release, "New Territories" on Ubiquity Records. Sitting on a pile of beats in his English flat, Lau is not to be underestimated as a hip-hop producer, having already made the classic anthem, "For The D" with Guilty Simpson. Lau is currently setting his pieces for a full length hip-hop release, the final results may just put him in control of the entire market".

Erykah Badu - "New AmErykah pt.II,Return of the Ankh" preview

The QUEEN is back!!!

Okay...I hope this time fo real,'cause "New AmErykah pt.2,Return of the Ankh" was set to be release in July of 2008,just a few months after "New AmErykah pt.1,4th World War"...but it wasn't,due Erykah's pregnancy on first place.
The peeps from Showing Out were able to attend a listening session and leave w/detailed notes about the album.Go here  to to find out who's producing on the album and breakdowns of the tracks.So...MIND BLOWING...and I expect the album will be like that!!!

But,I heard that track "Jump in the air and stay there" with Lil' Wayne and I have mixed feelings about that...its damn groovy track,but I just can't swallow his voice and that!But its not sure yet that this track will be on the new album.

"Erykah Badu had a listening in NY for her next CD last night and Jump in the Air and Stay There was secretly recorded there. This joint will feature 10 MC’s. That’s right, 10. Badu’s keepin’ the full list of rappers secret for now but the first MC revealed is Lil Wayne".
