MAIYA AND NO PRESENT…ALL THAT JAZZ VOL.1

The first time we decided to collaborate on a compilation it was for Grimey, which was three volumes of hardcore hip hop. And  during the process of selecting songs, we discovered that our individual musical tastes were very similar and complemented each other well. We have some dope compilation ideas for the future but for now we proudly present… All That Jazz Vol. 1. Some of the songs are strictly jazz, while others just have the smooth vibe like “Autumn’s Evening Breeze.” In the tracklist, the songs in blue were picked by Maiya and teal by NO and we alternated taking turns. It’s cold outside and the perfect time to throw this compilation on and let it ride.

MELANIE FIONA MEETS THE ILLADELPHONICS (MIXTAPE)

melanie-fiona-a-live-remix-jam-sessionMelanie Fiona is the truth. Point blank period. Her voice is dope, her mic prowess as an MC is great, and she doesn’t look half bad either. I’m being deceitful, she’s fine as hell. Throw in a great understanding of classic music and team her up with the likes of ?uestlove’s Illadelphonics for a project, and voila! You have mixtape magic. WQST Radio brings to us live sessions of the collaborations so we can indulge to our hearts’ content. So without further ado, stream wifey #14′s stylings on a cover of Sam Cooke’s “Cupid“and then partake!

The Foreign Exchange | ?uestlove | Zo! | Carlitta Durand – Take Me With You [Prince Cover]

Ahmir “?uestlove” Thompson- Drums, Samples
Nicolay- Fender Rhodes, acoustic piano
Zo!- Korg synth, additional rhodes
Phonte and Carlitta Durand- Vocals

I am blessed. Blessed to have recieved some goodness in our Blind I mailbox for YOU to peep 1st hand… In their own words…

We recorded this over a month ago specifically for a ?uestlove tribute party dedicated to The Purple One himself. Other than passing it off to a few DJ friends who vowed to keep it on some secret squirrel, “bet you aint up on THIS!” status, no one has ever heard it. In the wake of the incredible loss we suffered on June 25 however, this joint took on somewhat of a deeper meaning.

We decided to share it with our fans not only as a token of appreciation, but also as a way of paying respect to one of our last living musical geniuses.

Let’s not wait until tragedy strikes before we show love and gratitude to our heroes, people. Give them their flowers while they live.

This one’s for you, Mr. Nelson. You are loved and appreciated.

Enjoy!

One Love,
‘Tay and Nic
