Jackson Conti's.... Sujihno




Madlib AKA Jackson Conti, is at it again. While the last stop on the Madlib train was a tour around India, he has trekked to a different part of the globe to bring us his latest, Sujihno. As many of us know, all producers who create albums and tracks at Conti's rate have one thing in common, they dig. Not only do they dig but also they dig with such a passion that they are able to conjure legends, and this is exactly what was done in Sujihno. Conti, partners with Brasilian percussionist, Mamao, from the legendary band Azymuth to combine, Brasilian Jazz and Samba, with just a twist of hip-hop to create bass laden rhythms that effortlessly stir the soul. Mamao's production roster includes artist such as Roberto Carlos, Marcos Valle, Maria Bethania, Hyldon, Edu Lobo, Chico Buarque, and Gal Costa among many others. This dynamic collaboration is certainly a summer must have. For more information visit Mochilla. Enjoy!

That's right, life as we once new it in America is changing and it will never be the same.This video made me cry the first time I saw it.Oprah is truly speaking from her heart.You can see the sorrow in Kanye's eyes because his mother could not be here to experience this. Mary is cool as always and Forrest feels empowered as a black man in this country....yes...the tides are shifting....thank GOD!

Let's Groove

Is it just me or does Philly just happen to have an overwhelming amount of GOOD ASS MUSIC! Perhaps I'm miss my former home but i just cant seem to get away from it. It first started several months ago with my RECESS RADIO dedication to Phyllis Hyman (resting in peace eternally). Then my ongoing house obsession inevitably led me to about everything Gamble and Huff produced, particulary the O'jays.I could go on for days about the talent from Illadelphia but most recently Archie Bell and the Drell's have been stirring up my soul. It always amazes me when I hear a song and all I want to do is smile, nothing else matters cause all it's about is the groove.
