DJ Rahdu - The Next Movement: Robert Glasper Mix

BamaLoveSoul.com founder and Soulition member DJ Rahdu has compiled 17 tracks by jazzman du jour Robert Glasper to bring newcomers up to speed on the keyboardist’s repertoire before his fifth album, Black Radio, is released at the end of next month. In addition to tracks from the previous 4 albums, Rahdu weaves live performances and Glasper appearances as a “sideman” on other artist’s releases into The Next Movement.  Glasper is the perfect bridge for any soulhead who happens to also love Jazz and Hip Hop or however you want to arrange it. Glasper, being the hybrid he is, represents the new vanguard that will usher in the new sounds and styles or The Next Movement as it were. -bls

Black Spade X Knxwledge "Spand"

I got somethin pretty dope in my email earlier this week and it was an early draft of the new joint by Black Spade and Knxwledge. "Spand" finds Spade soulfully singing (say that 5 times fast) in the front of the song and by the end he's spitting his signature, social-commentative lyrics over Knxwledge's fittingly soulful beat. Hopefully this is just the beginning of many more collabs to come from the two artists!

Family Affair "Code"

QB & Rep of Family Affair start the new year off proper with a new joint reminiscent of the dopeness that came from early 90s Hip Hop. Complete with spare horns, crispy drums and their signature liquid flow, Family Affair's "Code" is true school Hip Hop at it's core.

Blu "The Clean Hand" prod by Pete Rock

I've said it before and I'll say it again (well, write it anyway)...HIP HOP IS ALIVE AND WELL. Blu definitely sees to this statement remaining true as he "sets it on a Pete beat" with "The Clean Hand".

Georgia Anne Muldrow & Madlib "Seeds"

Fresh for 2012, two GB faves drop a soulful jewel to set the year off right! The lovely and maaad talented Georgia Anne Muldrow continues to amaze soul-heads with her voice and production, however, it's only her voice to her credit on "Seeds". The production is handled by none other than Madlib! Could there be any more proof that God exists??? *Seeds, the full-length album, will be available March 27th.

Jill Scott "A Long Walk" Madlib remix

Shout out to the homie Rahdu of BamaLoveSoul for unearthing this previously unreleased piece of musical beauty. Jill's classic slow groover gets revisited by one of (if not) the best producers on the planet. Madlib goes in with chords and percussion to give Ms. Scott's words an even more lavish sound-scape.
