A rewind back to February 2011 with a jazzy Hip-Hop joint taken from Saturdays Meltdown show tracklist. The son of Jazz Legend and Pioneer Hilton C. Felton Jr continues in his fathers legacy of making musical footprints instead of stepping into the shoes of conformity.
A rare joint recorded at XM Radio’s early days from a project called “Art! Hurts Project Zero”. Im a real lover of all the Jazz pioneers that came before us and “Queezy” has the ingredients i like in a HipHop track. Lifted from the album The Vault: Postcards from The Edge and Other Things which includes a collection of W. Ellington Felton’s music from the years of 1999 – 2008.

Produced by Darek Dar-o Tomczyk (Poland) + London-based Ghanaian singer/songwriter + MC M3NSA (pronounced Mensa) “Fanti Love Song” Remix features guest UK Soul singer Terri Walker. Already a long-time admirer of the classically trained Walker, M3NSA recalls bumping into her on the odd occasion before they formally met while being cast for the Africa Express 2011 line-up.
The two wrote a couple of songs together for that event and knew from then on there had to be another opportunity to work in the studio together. M3NSA recalls luring her with the promise of Jollof rice and she caught the bait! Twenty minutes into the session for the remix it was already magical! The track glides along nicely on a dope mid-tempo bounce, and repartees in pidgin to Walker’s seductive beckoning, while he massages it into a sensual groove which anyone who has felt love’s aches and yearnings will totally understand. Pick up the track digitally HERE

IAm Jones is the first artist of his kind. First and foremost, he is defined as an Entertainer and not just a vocalist, not just a dancer and poet. He is the beginning of a new generation of solo artists that hip hip and neo-soul is missing today. As a writer of all original music and lyrics, IAm stands out from the rest in many ways. Musically, lyrically, and vocally there is no artist that IAm can be directly compared to. This seriously hot new joint entitled “She” features Mothers Favourite Child who’s also a big favourite here too! Pick up your copy of “SHE” HERE

Virginia U.S producer Rasheen is back after four years with his third album “Rules of Acquisition” due out via Bandcamp on January 18th. If you’re a fan of his previous work Abstract Art Vol.1 & Vol.2 you’ll be pleased with his new offering. The first single “Rule #8″ is a steal pan driven dancer and one of the more uptempo tracks from the upcoming album. Similar to his previous releases “Rules of Acquisition” is an instrumental journey through acoustic sounds, percussion, beats and baselines with a similar Acid Jazz feel to his previous albums..

Few jazz artists have managed to straddle the world of hip hop, soul & jazz as well as Robert Glasper. A phenomenal piano player in his own right he has taken his skills from the acoustic jazz albums of “In My Element” to the more experimental “Double Booked” to this album with a host of guests like- Erykah Badu, Mos Def, Bilal, Lalah Hathaway, lupe Fiasco, Meshell Ndegeocello who bring powerful hip hop & soulful elements to accompany Glaspers playing which has always borrowed heavily on these styles. His Glasper Experiment tours feel like watching Herbie Hancock during his Thrust period and he has recently toured with Q Tip & Maxwell. The new album “Black Radio” hits stores Febuary 28th!
