FOOTAGE: MATHIEN PERFORMING “LITTLE RICHARD”

I love clever ass songs, and this joint “Little Richard” from my homie Mathien is funny as hell while still maintaining musical integrity. I’ve been working a lot lately with this guy and he & his band (aptly titled Mathien) are very dope and genre-bending. Enjoy the footage and the song!

CLASSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY: JERU THE DAMAJA-ME OR THE PAPES

Three years ago, this was the FIRST thing I ever posted on Blind I. Dope song and clever video. Always a classic in my book.

“Cause ain’t no fiends coming in between me and my dreams, see what I mean black?!”

Here’s a new mix from L.A. producer Dam Funk for BBC Radio’s Mary Anne Hobbs. The Future Sound of Modern Funk contains exclusives and gems from artists and producers like Devonwho Electric Wire Hustle, Teeko, B. Bravo and of course, Dam Funk.  Unfortunately, the mix was too big to stream here, but trust our judgment. We’re Blind I! Link and tracks after the jump.

VIDEO: CEE-LO-WHAT PART OF FOREVER

When you look at the transformation of Cee-Lo’s music, you almost have to do a double take to make sure you’re looking at the same artist. He’s always been on his own program, but from the gritty Dungeon Family “Cell Therapy” days to wandering in the woods is quite a leap. However, the video is peaceful and seems consistent with his recent shtick [see:No One's Gonna Love You]. This was co-written by Cee-Lo Green and Oh, Hush! & Rob Kleiner for the Twilight soundtrack.

GOAPELE DISCUSSES MILK & HONEY

With all of this new music going around, I’m glad Goapele’s got a new album Milk & Honey and a new look to go with it. I would love to go to a show with her Dwele and Amel Larrieux.  My girl Goapele has been puttin’ it down for a while. If you’re in the Bay Area, and you’ve caught one of her shows,  then you know what I’m talking about.   Some of the credits on the new album are looking nice too.  Songs to look forward to are “The Drumma Boy”  (Young Jeezy, TI, Rick Ross, Gucci Mane) produced track “Right Here,” the Bobby Ozuna (Raphael Saadiq, D’Angelo, Anthony Hamilton) produced track “Tears on my Pillow” and the title track “Milk & Honey” produced by Bedrock (B-Legit, Clyde Carson, Jacka). Heat and fire up in there so should be tight. I CAN’T WAIT!

CLASSIC VIDEO OF THE DAY: JAMIROQUAI – SPACE COWBOY

Man I used to watch this video obsessively. Like to the point where I used to reenact his dance moves and everything. Stop laughing.
