D’ANGELO AND THE TESTIMONY LIVE IN PARIS (AUDIO)

Any D’Angelo fan who remembers when Brown Sugar was released,  considers Voodoo an R&B classic or simply digs his music has had an exciting week. We’ve all pondered whether he’d make a legitimate comeback and finally record some new material for over a decade now. Fortunately, this Europe tour has eliminated doubts and reignited his fan base. He’s back! And not only is there amazing footage of  the shows popping up all over the internet, but now we have a full recording of the show for our listening pleasure.  It’s a pretty hefty download (and has some folks talking here and there) but it’s worth the wait. I’m streaming a few songs here, but the full tracklisting can be found after the page jump. I hope you all enjoy it as much as I am. It’s like memory lane sprinkled with the future. Shout out to Okayplayer for posting this.

J. COLE LIVE @ THE LOFT (ATLANTA)

Suuuuuuupppperrrr late pass on this one (partially because this fool neglected to tell me when he finished editing the video…but that’s neither hither nor tither), but here’s footage of Roc Nation artist J. Cole performing at The Loft in Atlanta a few weeks ago. Filmed and edited by good buddy Patrick for Deli Fresh (check his YouTube channel here). Definitely a dope performance and some equally dope footy to go along with it.
