It is quite clear that niggaz dont dance no more, & along with that comes not purchasing albums anymore either. The day of running out to get your hands on the first copy of your favorite group or artists new album are done. If its available online… and for FREE.99 ?? Then what do YOU think is gonna happen. Dont answer that… it’s rhetorical… besides… HELLO!? wtf u think this site does? We are part of the problem too.

Anyways… with that being said, Radiohead changed the game recently with “In_Rainbows” having their fans pay what they felt to obtain a copy, making it the biggest selling album without a label backing it up, before a major stepped in & started manufacturing mass quantities to be sold @ a Wal- Mart or Best Buy… which brings me to this… iTUNES!!

Its no surprise that the majority of us use iTUNES to hear our schitt, but did you know that these muthafuckaz are #2 in album sales?

Peep. 

You KNOW I had to post this one since everyone I know EXCEPT for me was in it and schitt…shouts to Estelle, Naledge and Double O, B. Hines, Donnis, JL and of course Mr. West. Put me in the next video please! $

Sorry I took so long, this month has been crazy!! This year thus far… CRAZY!!!

So I went a lil crazy on this months edition of NKD, Just a tad… & I also included the Track Listing for all my Music Snobs out there, I had to upload these batchez on sendspace because they are both over the 100MB limit. So please jump on them while they are available. Gracias!

Disc One [SENDSPACE]

Disc Two [SENDSPACE]

Enjoy!

This month is pretty f&#kin’ hot! Considering the fact that I’m an Aquarius baby, it’s Black History Month, Valentine’s Day goes down, and it’s DEAD in the middle of winter here in Chicago, you know I had to heat it up. This month’s mix should keep you guys good until the weather breaks a bit and we get some of these springtime relases (you know that new Franchise Boyz comes out soon, lol). So enough talk…..grab this shit!

…and just because I’d been reminiscing alot this month about good music that EVERYBODY might not know about (music snobs, please stay away from my genitals, THANKS), I decided to include this lil’ bonus jawn of just goos music to have readily available for those car trips. Partake!

Love!

cuz i dont know how i missed this!! lmmfao@that reporter!!

Partizzake…

But…..where’s Honey?

hehehehe…

Enjoy! 

Muhsinah’s “Day.Break 2.0″ dropped today, so go out to your local record store, or hit the net and COP IT!

Even the cover is dope…

An aversion of the album, “Pre.Lude,” dropped in Japan last week, so gon’ head and get that too while you’re at it.

Oh yea…

Be sure and check her site, Muhsinah.com, as well as her myspace page for updates and tracks to listen to off the new album.

Wutup fam!!
I hope this finds all of you well on your way to actualizing your greatest potential.
You have been inspirations, influences, and life support to me on my long journey with this music…i want to thank you for that
As most of you know i’ve had many chances to “make it big” by making big compromises over the years, and turned them all down, choosing the independent route instead. On that note, I’m extremely excited to announce the upcoming release of my debut solo album ShapeShifters (a lifetime in the making, coming out this May!) and the official launch of my label EMERGENCE (which i’ve signed myself to lol), and label website:
www.EMERGENCEmusic.net
Check out the site, the promo video, and download the single for FREE (those of you that already have “Sledgehammer!” and “In the Mourning” this includes a third banger called “Looongawaited”). If you like what you see and hear I’m asking for your help in making sure this reaches more than the people who already know. Please pass it on, send it to your lists, and spread the word!

in love and struggle,
invincible

CLICK the schitt in blue (WHICH WOULD BE THIS) to find out a bit more.

Enjoy!

CONTINUED…

I appreciate the love and feedback on Good Morning. When it comes to these compilations, I try to pick songs that are bit off the radar or lost in the throwback vault so you don’t get a slew of Mp3s that you already play everyday. I want it to be a grab bag of sorts, unpredictable and refreshing. Clearly I have quite the library so I hit you as I see fit from here on out! Here’s a bevy of tunes for the lover in you since it’s February. I have a soul comp en route for the end of the month with nothing but pure R&B, but I mixed this up a bit. What kind of lover are you? Street? Soul? Sultry? Bet you can’t guess mine.

*And BTW I recently discovered Apollo Nove (see “Inexplicata” in Sultry) and dammit if that doesn’t sound like love what does? Makes me want to attempt a slow samba, though I’d be so black with it. The layers of the harp, organ and background vocals are orgasmic. I can visualize myself on a cloud with a lover. I’m such a hippie.

Enjoy your Hearts Day. You could never be lonely cus Maiya Loves You!
XOXO
