NO KNOWS DOPE | JUNE 20X

Let’s see… We started out w/ str8 up heat to kick start it all, then Dilla, then Beats, then Love , last month was Stereolab & this month is no surprise to the faithfuls that respecognize that P up there on the cover. For those not in the know… That “P” is for Portishead. Geoff Barrow, Beth Gibbons, and Adrian Utley gave us a unique new sound back in 1994 & since then have only released 3 albums with their last one being in 2008. Like Sade, D’Angelo & Dr.Dre (Detox anyone?), Portishead is one of those groups that doesn’t need to come out every month with a new record because their music & legacy alone stand the test of time. I ain’t gonna lie tho… I wish they wouldn’t take so damn long in between albums &  or tour if they were, but I guess we gotta take what we can get, till we get what we want. I for one couldn’t wait so I decided to make this month all about the P. It is filled to the brim of rarities, remixes, covers, tributes, unreleased & of course my faves from the albums they DID release. A definite MUST HAVE for any true P fan or Blind I faithful for that matter. & As always… thank you for your continuous support in making these NKD‘s a part of your life. I do it for you!

ERYKAH BADU-CHOPPED/SCREWED MIXTAPE

I couldn’t get any Badu chopped/screwed in time for  Organized Confusion. But alas, via DJ Rico Sparks I found this mixtape,  PURCHASED just for you, and couldn’t wait to share. It sounds as great as I imagined it to before I knew it existed. Go buy her new album and hit the skip for the remixed goods. Also, check out Rico–he’s chopped up Sade too. Good stuff.

Doesn’t it feel like all the dope singers are dropping albums this year? We’ve already gotten Sade and Erykah Badu, and now we can look forward to Dwele and Jilly from Philly.

SADE VIDEO-MAKING OF THE ALBUM

Sade’s  highly anticipated album Soldier of Love is in stores next week. Many songs/leaks are floating around the net but that won’t stop me from getting the CD. This video shows behind the scenes footage of the songstress and her band hard at work.  This will add so much more context when you sit down to listen.

DJ EKOGIRL – SOULIFE

My homie DJ EkoGirl made a nice mix of soulful goodness that y’all need to DL. In her own words…

Soulife is the nuSoul sound I’m most well-known for at a residency called Kiss.?some well-known heavy hitters in there with new tracks: Alicia, Sade ~ some really fly remixes: Stardust, Erykah+Bisope, Bugz ~ some super amazing new music from: Electric Wire Hustle, Fat Freddy’s drop ~ and then a lot of unfamiliar staples that have been in my soul crates for a few years to round it out.it definitely could use some woofer-love for the low end on the dubstep at the front.I hope you like it too.. but really.. I do. and that’s why I do it. It’s SUCH a pleasure to share it with you.

love,

Ekogirl
