Despite the fact that most of the country is still dressed in boots and coats, spring has arrived. It’s a time for physical, mental and audible rejuvenation.  These songs make me feel like I’m inhaling a breath of fresh air, so I decided to share them with you.  You have no idea how much I enjoy putting these together each month. Blind I faithfuls keep us going. Enjoy.

Dj Merlin Presents… The MySpace Soul Collection

 

We here at Blind I take pride in bringing you the freshest shit on the planet. If it aint dope it aint fresh and if it aint fresh it aint us. Well I just happened to put together a lil collection that brings you the freshest Soul music that I found on MySpace. By no means is this the “best of” nor a definitive collection but it fa sho knocks. The collection contains a couple tracks from artists that I think should get some knock. I have been playing it non stop for the past couple weeks and let me tell ya it dont get old and you wont skip any tracks. Keep in mind that some artists post rough versions of their songs on their myspace so these songs may not be in their final stage and my not sound like this if and when it gets released. Some of these artists are not signed yet and some have just been signed. When you hear their music you’ll know why as it speaks for itself. This just goes to show how Da Undaground is alive and well.. All of these artists have star power and if I can bring them to the bay to do a show for us I think that’ll be too fresh. Please show your support on their respective myspace pages and/or commenting here.
FOR PROMOTIONAL USE ONLY. SO LETS GET TO IT!!

Jayms Madison – http://www.myspace.com/jaymsmadison
This sexy young lady here got it goin on. Her single “Room Service” made a little noise but I don’t think the right people heard it. And after watching her live Im sold, and I think you will be too.

Kai Holmes – http://www.myspace.com/kaiholmes
From Boston this guy has the sound for the town. Personally If I was Diddy I would sign this guy on the spot. I think this is the sound he wanted for Donnie J. but just didn’t get there.. (Sorry Donnie maybe if you had lil bit more soul)

Zshatwa (Pronounced Sha-Twah) – http://www.myspace.com/zshatwa
Not only can the skater chick from LA sang but she can dance too. Possible triple threat in the making? You be the judge.

Drake – http://www.myspace.com/thisisdrake
From Toronto Canada this cat is makin moves. He’s already got a single with Trey Songs and another with Lil Wayne. Look out Omarion and Bow Wow cuz this is Drake and hes comin fo yo asses.

Choklate – http://www.myspace.com/listen2chok
This soul sista from Seattle, by way of LA, definitely has it goin on.

Michal Moore – http://www.myspace.com/michalmoore
I first heard of her on youtube actually as she keeps video blogs of her music life there. Then I checked out her myspace for more tracks, Then I knew she was something spectacular. She just got signed so look for her in stores soon.

ENJOY!
