I couldn’t really figure out the tone I wanted this volume of Rendezvous to have. So it was fitting when Noah sent me the cover artwork and it looked like braille or an encryption you have to decode.  However, after playing the songs in this one, I have to say it’s one of my favorites I’ve done in a while. Songs like “Manifestations” aren’t conventionally “sexy” but to me there’s something sultry about them. These mixes in general are like a trip inside our minds and what moves us each. Not sure why exactly, but somehow this fits nicely. Tracks/links after the jump. Enjoy.

NO KNOWS DOPE | NO KNOWS BABIES | APRIL 20XI

Last Monday, April 11th at 10:43AM, my daughter Ajané arrived into the world. It was the most beautifulest thing in the world without a doubt. Being “on call” for the whole month of March & April kinda put a roadblock in my head as to what ‘theme’ I wanted to execute for Aprils NKD & as I pondered the thoughts I lowkey was already playing the soundtrack & not even knowing it. Playing songs that I felt related to what I was going through or have gone through or what I want to achieve as a man & as a father to my children. About a week before the 15th (sorry for the delay… been busy changing diapers n schitt. pun.) I finally decided to dedicate this months NKD to the babies. The children. The kids! But no… not on some Yo Gabba Gabba or Kids Sing Along schitt… naw… on some grown folks – grown biz – type of musical growth if you will. Whether you are a mother or a father, raising your sons or daughters, this edition goes harder to marauder & slaughter any biologicals that don’t bother. I breaks water! hahaha Naw pho trill tho… I’m on Cloud 9000 & 99! Blind I For The Kids… literally.

TL & DL after…

VIDEO: ERIC ROBERSON-SHE

I appreciate Eric Roberson because he doesn’t let his music distract from his beautiful voice. He always stays true to R&B. This simple video  for “She” complements this ballad from Music Fan First perfectly.

VIDEO: ERIC ROBERSON – STILL

Erro (Eric Roberson) is one supremely talented brother! He has written & collaborated with everyone from Dwele to Musiq Soulchild to Jill Scott. He puts out timeless albums that reflect his honesty & humility within his lyrics & beautiful melodies over production that grabs you instantly. I was gettin my Twit on yesterday when I seen a twit from Erro saying he was streaming live @ the time. So I went to peep, heard a ill freestyle (he spit on 2 topics I gave him… Oscar Grant & J Dilla) & aired his video from off his last album Music Fan First (which we streamed for you when it first came out). The song is STILL & the visuals which were directed by Impakt Studio’s Chris & Blaq for it are very moving. He touches on a topic that is serious as cancer… cuz it is. Breast cancer. Every 13 minutes a life is lost to breast cancer & early detection saves lives! So in the words of Biggie… “girrlllls… rub on your titties!” & stay ready so you never have to GET ready! Jedi respecognition to Erro for not only being 110% honest & true with the music but for speaking on this subject though his video. Greatness personified @ its finest.

Shout out to Sweetlocs for the quick response & turn around on this so we could bring this to the faithfuls!
