ALOE BLACC – I NEED A DOLLAR (LIVE STUDIO VERSION)

The good folks at Stones Throw Records dropped this live version of Aloe’s hit song featured on the HBO series How To Make It In America. Momentum is building up for the release of his next full length album Good Things out later this year.  You’ve come a long way Mr. Blacc, but I’m still hoping for another Emanon album.

VIDEO: ALOE BLACC – I NEED A DOLLAR

You know it as to intro to Poor Entourage In New York (or How To Make It In America as HBO calls it), but Aloe Blacc’s been doing his thing for a long time now. He made the smart move, however, and decided to record a video to his now-hit song, “I Need A Dollar“. I like the second song in the video more!

DJ EKOGIRL – SOULIFE

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,

Ekogirl

MY FAVORITE ALBUM THIS WEEK!

I say “this week” because lately allot of good schitt has been coming my way, but nothing like THIS WEEK! But I already spoke on Dert’s Talk Strange & he told me to stop playing it out (which is a bad habit of mine once I hear something I truly love), House Shoes’ King James Version is just fuckin insane, filled with all the great originals to Dillas most memorable (Dilla Elitists will feel this) productions, & I  just posted about Pickster’s LIVE in Paris… so since we on that Paris tip, lemme speak on this Dela kid from Paris France. I aint gonna lie, Vol.1 flew under my radar, but Vol.2? DAMN!! This schitt is fuckin beautiful! I aint felt this good about a complete hip hop album/mix/comp whatever you wanna call it , since Gemineye’s Crown Jules Mixtape.

Dela (not to be confused with De La Soul)delivers with this one! Very smooth & right up my alley (no Cubicle Gooding Jr.)!
