MAIYA PRESENTS…RENDEZVOUS VOL.13

Mndsgn-Hernumerxledge

I can’t believe I have done 13 of these compilations already! 13 is actually my lucky number, so it makes sense that this one is one of my favorites among the recent volumes I’ve put together.  Let’s get lucky together. All you have to do is give it a gander and let me know what you think! P.S., whenever I check the download count for these and see hundreds and hundreds, it really makes me smile. I’m glad you appreciate my musical aesthetic.  Tracks and links next door. Enjoy. Give me a shout and let me know what you think!

Blu and Miss Jack DaVeY are currently on the road for their NewWorldCulture tour. The rapper just released the first single, “Everything’s OK” featuring the J*DaVeY songstress and produced by Flying Lotus.

His upcoming album is titled  No York, and will will include a heavy roster of producers: Flying Lotus,  Madlib, Daedalus, Shafiq Husayn,   Knxwledge, Bilal and others.  Check out their tour dates here and we’ll keep the music coming.

JOSE JAMES-VICADIN (PROD. BY FLYING LOTUS)

When singer Jose James and Flying Lotus collaborate they have such a great chemistry. This new track, “Vicadin” puts you in the mind of a lonely, heartbroken, James waxing poetic over an errily Flylo beat. After such a critically acclaimed debut, I’m curious to see what Jose James’ new material will bring.
