MARK RONSON & THE BUSINESS INTL. – GLASS MOUNTAIN (F/ D’ANGELO)

Mark Ronson‘s stellar new project, “Mark Ronson & The Business Intl.’s Record Collection“, just keeps leaking stellar song work, with the latest being ‘Glass Mountain‘ featuring the Sasquatch/Lochness Monster that is D’Angelo. Now, most D’Angelo-philes may listen and say “Hey, that’s not the D’Angelo I know!”, but damn, Voodoo came out 10 years ago (wow), the music had to progress to a certain extent. And there’s one thing I know: Mark Ronson is a member of that elite musical circle that is currently pushing the boundaries of music. D’Angelo will be fine. So enjoy this record, cop the Record Collection album when it drops September 28th, and partake!

VIDEO: MARK RONSON & THE BUSINESS INTL – THE BIKE SONG

Mark Ronson & The Business Intl‘s new album “Record Collection” drops September 27th. In the meantime, here’s a new video for “The Bike Song” featuring Kyle Falconer and Spank Rock. Pretty effin’ cool. Mark Ronson is the man! I hope he smashes the shit he’s producing for D’Angelo’s album too….

MARK RONSON – BANG BANG BANG (F/ Q-TIP & MNDR)

Mark Ronson and Q-Tip is a match made in heaven. Off Ronson’s upcoming Record Collection project, ‘Bang Bang Bang‘ is a dope mesh of Ronson’s unique talent to create an almost anachronistic sound that could work in 1965 or 2016, and Q-Tip’s all-around cool flow. Check it out and see if you agree. This is a summer joint! Indulge.

BLIND I SAYS GO! JUNE 2010

What can I say, I was anxious to drop this one. A truckload of heat was made readily available this last week, and therefore I HAD to incorporate it all into this month’s Blind I Says GO!

We’re talking new joints from Kid Cudi, Drake, Black Milk, Vic Spencer and I, Gil Scott-Heron, Kanye West, Phil Adé, Francis and the Lights, The Roots, Talib Kweli, Sean Price, Black Sheep, Mark Ronson, Janelle Monaé, Alicia Keys, Hollyweerd, Dirty Money, and Dam Funk. Whoa. Time to indulge….

THEOPHILUS LONDON – PULL MY HEART AWAY (RMX) + SOLES ON FIRE (CHAUFFEUR)

Theophilus London has some new joints out that you might thoroughly enjoy! The first one is the Pull My Heart Away Remix which is super-dee-duper ill in my opinion, and Soles On Fire is the first joint from the newly-formed group Chauffeur which is comprised of Theophilus, Mark Ronson, and Sam Sparro. Pretty much dopeness all around. Indulge!
