MUHSINAH-REDISCOVERED VIDEO


I really like the approach Muhsinah has taken to her music videos. On the vimeo page,  the tagline for this said, “Home is where the heart is. So happy to find it again. So I’m no longer stuck.” While this one is short, it can be interpreted many ways.

If you haven’t gotten The Oscillations: Triangle yet get into it!

MUHSINAH INTERVIEW

 


The fine folks at MOOVMNT shot us an interview they’ve conducted with the ever so awesome Musinah. Tell me what’s not to like about this girl? I remember my boy Tommy bringing her out one night in San Jose and meeting her for the first time. Believe me folks, she is one cool girl. Super laid back and tal-ent-ed! Hear her speak on the new album, life, and her hometown of D.C. 

Can you dig it?

The world needs to hear the little % of good music actually out here! Partake.

VIDEO: MUHSINAH – ALWAYS


One of my favorite Muhsinah tracks gets an amazing video to go along with it. Reminds me of the Lego binges my brother and I used to go on when we were lil’ tots.
