MY MIC SOUNDS NICE: A TRUTH ABOUT WOMEN IN HIP-HOP

A couple weeks ago, I attended a screening for BET’s first ever original music documentary, “My Mic Sounds Nice: A Truth About Women In Hip-Hop“. Directed by Ava DuVernay, the film takes a loving, yet critical look at the history of sisters in Rap music. It is equal parts celebration of pioneers and those carrying the torch and lamentation over the lack of estrogen in today’s Hip-Hop spaces.

Take a peek at the trailer:

Commentary is provided primarily by woman rappers, including MC Lyte, YoYo, Trina, Salt n’ Pepa, The Lady of Rage, Diamond, Eve, Missy, etc. Other heads weighing in include Kevin Lyles, Joan Morgan, Questlove, Glennisha Morgan of The Fembassy and Russell Simmons. I was really excited to hear the thoughts Jean Grae, Tiye Pheonix and a few other female rappers who aren’t as familiar to the BET audience (there is a great independent artist roll-call at the end as well).

ANOTHER PART OF MJ: MICHAEL JACKSON REMAKES, REMIXES & RE-EDITS VOL 1 & 2 [REPOST]

In celebration of the birthday of Michael Jackson , I decided to repost this .. don’t sleep!!
Our Peoples over at illvibe are always keeping it fresh. Dj lil’ Dave is really putting it down with the BEST MICHAEL JACKSON TRIBUTE MIX HANDS DOWN…Yeah i said it! I’ve heard a lot of MJ mixes and i like “Another part of MJ: Michael Jackson Remakes, Remixes & Re-Edits ” the most. What’s fresh about it is that instead of playing all the obvious classics we all know and love, he pulled together all the remixes, remakes, re-redits, b-sides, and demos he could find. The result is a mix of hiphop, reggae, house, samba, boogie, and of course some soul.

I was juiced in search of the track listing to find out there was another mix he put out in the anniversary of the Late Great King!
Lil’ Dave presents “Another Part Of MJ Vol.2:

THE FOREIGN EXCHANGE REVEALS NEW COVER AND TRACKLISTING

Yeah, I’m totally geekin’ off this news. Since we are diehard Foreign Exchange fans here at the Blind-I offices, this is BIG news. The subtlety of the cover suggest things are going to be all right after the band told us to “leave it all behind…”. Autumn brings newness and clarity, and anything Phonte and Nicolay has for us will be taken up with open arms.

Peep the tracklist after the drop and the official press release from the group. And stay tuned to further news folks!

GROOVE THEORY – TELL ME REMIX BY GEORGE FITZGERALD

A little bootleg/experimentation remix from of Groove Theory’s Tell Me by George Fitzgerald. A beautiful remix of a classic tune that I’m sure everyone one here knows and loves. George Fitzgerald takes Amel Larrieux‘s unforgettable vocal and re-energizes the tune with his signature groove and bassline. Hopefully, we can get this as an official release… hopefully.
