Janine - "Vacation"


The soulful and sultry voice of Janine has been a favorite of mine since her "and the Mixtape" days and it's always a welcome treat when she blesses the airwaves with something new. Since liberating her debut full-length in May of this year, Janine has been putting in work on various projects outside of her vocal-based music but she returns with "Vacation" this week.

"Vacation", which flips the "Zeze" instrumental into a whole new energetic field, features a solid blend of both blatant lines and innuendos, the alluring combination resulting in a vibey and sexy R&B bop. It's a smooth and airy record that has the potential to resonate deep in the essence of Janine's listeners and will undoubtedly be a fine tune to snug up to this winter with your favorite person.

With the snow hitting hard tonight, this new record from Janine was exactly the vibe I needed to take my mind off the weather and warm up the soul a little bit.

Janine's 99 is available now on all major streaming platforms, including Apple Music, Spotify and Soundcloud.

Hit play on "Vacation" below.

Abiyah - "Champion Plaque" (feat. Ceschi) [prod. Possible Address]

Some artists are adept at creating music that blends genres, the resulting product sounding unique in its own right. Others, like Abiyah and Ceschi , transcend past the mere blending of styles to offer up sonic manifestations that manage to  defy any sort of genre all together. Despite countless journalistic attempts to compartmentalize via labels, the music stands on its own foundation, blasting through the speakers free of any label or definitive denomination. This genre-less creative approach is strikingly evident with the Cincinnati-based artist's "Champion Plaque", a new single featuring Ceschi that was first imagined in 2015. The free-flowing delivery of vivid, picturesque storytelling from both artists acknowledges the saturation of inauthentic people permeating our daily lives. Abundant in subject matter that is relatable while also forcing listeners to take an uncomfortable look in the mirror, "Champion Plaque" is a call to action, tearing away at...

On this day we become legendary...

As an avid proponent of all things Kanye West, people frequently ask me why I'm such a strong supporter of Mr. West - both the man and his music. I'm sure someday I'll share a long, wordy response...but until then, this video pretty much encapsulates how Kanye has influenced my life and why I speak so strongly in favor of the man, his beliefs and his music:

Grieves - "Beethoven"

After dropping off a visual last week, Grieves is back with yet another fresh cut in the form of "Beethoven". Grieves floats over the smooth, atmospheric production, lacing "Beethoven" with confident delivery as he demonstrates a growing sense of self-awareness. And this is saying something, as longtime listeners will recognize the already introspective nature of his extensive catalogue of music. With "Beethoven", the Seattle-based wordsmith plants his focus firmly on his own vision and craft, silencing and rising above the naysayers casting doubt on the man and his music. The record is littered with layered wordplay and substance, once again putting on display the depth of talent that exists within Grieves and the art he creates. Hopefully this string of new music is a sign that we'll be on the receiving end of a project from the Rhymesayers-representative this year, his first since the release of  Running Wild in 2017.  "Beethoven...
