DWELE-WHAT’S NOT TO LOVE

Doesn’t it feel like all the dope singers are dropping albums this year? We’ve already gotten Sade and Erykah Badu, and now we can look forward to Dwele and Jilly from Philly. It’s going to be a lovely summer, and the prime time for the Detroit native to drop his new album W.W.W. (W.ants W.orld W.omen), which is slated for a June release. Here’s his first single, “What’s Not to Love.” Partake and let us know what you think.

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
