VIDEO: FATIMA – WARM EYES

What’s universal about music is that it can be understood from coast-to-coast, or in this case continent to continent. L.A. funkster Dam-Funk produced a track for London/Stockholm singer Fatima off her E.P. Mindtravelin that was released earlier this year on Eglo Records. This video is the PERFECT close to the summer. And she ain’t that bad either. From the warm rhythms and her gentle groove, this song has nothing but quality in it!

BLIND I SAYS GO! JUNE 2010

What can I say, I was anxious to drop this one. A truckload of heat was made readily available this last week, and therefore I HAD to incorporate it all into this month’s Blind I Says GO! The motivation behind this one was fresh & new, meaning the wardrobe has been flipped, the summer is here, and it’s time to work hard and play hard. We’re talking new joints from Kid Cudi, Drake, Black Milk, Vic Spencer and I, Gil Scott-Heron, Kanye West, Phil Adé, Francis and the Lights, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Sean Price, Black Sheep, Mark Ronson, Janelle Monaé, Alicia Keys, Hollyweerd, Dirty Money, and Dam Funk. Whoa. Time to indulge….
