There are a few reasons I decided to do this compilation. First, I lived in the 757 Virginia Beach area for half of my high school experience and I must say that the radio down there is consistently two steps ahead. Through The Neptunes, Timbaland, Missy Elliott all the way back to vets like Teddy Riley, the 757 has clearly proven to be a hotbed for musical creativity. Aside from that, during this era every artist you see in the cover artwork from our wonderful NO had a collective synergy and a distinct sound that was simply indelible. The samples used, the drum machine skills, the sound effects and the overall style has never been fully duplicated. And none of them rapped that great but somehow every song was bounce-worthy enough to overcompensate. I culled some of my favorite Tim, Missy, Ginuwine, Playa and Aaliyah joints that embodied their movement to pay homage. I had to fish some of the CDs out of my collection and convert them to MP3s (see: time consuming) so you better enjoy.

DJ EKOGIRL – SOULIFE

NO — Mon, 11 Jan 2010 01:45:57 +0000

My homie DJ EkoGirl made a nice mix of soulful goodness that y’all need to DL. In her own words…

Soulife is the nuSoul sound i’m most well-known for at a residency called Kiss.

?some well-known heavy hitters in there with new tracks: alicia, sade

?some really fly remixes: stardust, erykah+bisope, bugz

?some super amazing new music from: electric wire hustle, fat freddy’s drop

?and then a lot of unfamiliar staples that have been in my soul crates for a few years to round it out.

it definitely could use some woofer-love for the low end on the dubstep at the front.

I hope you like it too.. but really.. i do. and that’s why i do it. it’s SUCH a pleasure to share it with you.

love,

erica
