We know you guys have been wondering, “What happened to the compilations on Blind I?” for quite some time, right? Well, no worries! We’re restructuring the site a bit and we plan to roll out some exciting new features in the near future. It’s getting chilly out and rather than spending time outside partying, more of us are bundling up with significant others. I equate fall with romance. Always have and always will. So I figured it was time for another Rendezvous. Enjoy! Let me know what you think. xx. S/O to Noah for the graphics. A beast as always. › Continue reading

MUHSINAH-HOW GREAT

We recently posted the sampler for Muhsinah’s new EP, Gone. Now, she’s released the first single, “How Great” which you can listen to and download below. Since she’s been MIA, as expressed in the blurb we posted, Muhsinah been going through changes and growing. So far, the new music seems to reflect this.

MUHSINAH-GONE EP (SAMPLER)

Muhsinah’s timing is impeccable. Just the other day, I was thinking how quiet the Golden Girl has been and wondering if she’d been cooking up anything new for her fans in the lab. The title of her new EP, Gone, explains it all.  In her own words: This EP, which I call “Gone”, speaks from a place of emotional vulnerability.  I’m happy to know that it’s helped me through my own personal changes and can help those of you dealing with a troubling time. Either way. It’s coming really soon. Thanks for sticking with me.

MUHSINAH-DEAR BLANK ALBUM SAMPLER+TRAILER

Muhsinah is in the process of recording her first studio album, “Dear ____” and she’s calling on her fans to donate to cover the studio and production costs of completing this short film.This idea is part marketing genius and part reaching in my opinion. But you can help out here if you love her like we do.

Also, check out her album sampler below!

It’s that time of the month again. She’s baaacccccckkk. I was hoping to use the artwork that was on the wall in the movie Belly (our minds work so randomly don’t they) because I thought it would be perfect. You should know the RDV compilations by now. All the goods are after the skip. Let me know what you think. Some new, some old. All sexy. Thanks to Suli and Noah for tag-teaming the graphics.
