Bilal – Airtight’s Revenge (Snippets) by VerseCity
So I caught this over at SoulBounce…check out the album snippets from Bilal new album.
Long Beach, CA songstress Ca’Laura (aka LaLa) teams up with Jus Wait Entertainment to bring us her latest mixtape Intro To The Jetsons. Ca’Laura has been blessing our ears with her vocals since the tender age of 4. “I remember being little writing my own stories, poems and songs, and the confidence I got from my family motivated me to get better, I love my tool, I love expressing life’s issues on paper or within a melody.” LaLa stays versatile with the many talents of songwriting, dancing as well as acting. For more info, hit her up on twitter @CALAURA or visit her myspace page www.myspace.com/calaurastar.

Chicago’s Nikki Lynette dropped this yesterday
Free the Robots is Chris Alfaro. The genre-defying artist pulls together heavy doses of traditional jazz, psych, electronic and hip-hop, with progressive melodies and devastating drums into a rich pot of sound. His techniques create harmony between genres with the blending of obscure samples with analog and digital compositions. He’s also shared the stage with the always sick likes of Glitch Mob, Prefuse 73, and even Afrika Bambaataa.

So Snewty gets a late pass with this one. I just checked out the Ep finally today, despite it being out since January. Needless to say its dope.. Here check the preview out yourself from their bandcamp site, then check out the video for the track “I said”, the instrumentation on it is crazy. These cats are from Amsterdam and I definitely think you’ll like em…real chill grown folks music. They definitely got the cosign from Eric Robertson, who laid his vocals on the “She Was Fly” track.

Man I Love Erykah Badu and I been waiting on this album but I support her music, so I will not leak it to the internet. Instead I’m going to let you guys listen to two tracks off the album. I feel in love with this song so much I felt compelled to post it. It’s called “Out my Mind, Just in Time”, it’s like the Green eyes pt 2. Overall the album is very funky, definitely Madlib and Dilla influenced. Also check the album cover ..Snewty edition !!
Out My Mind, Just in Time

So I’ll be the first to admit that I’m not that knowledgeable of Country Music but this group caught my ear with their lead single off there album “Need You Now”. After hearing that single I went and downloaded the album, which is in stores now and must say that I am definitely a fan of these guys now. The album is eleven tracks and I must say that some of the songs ooze that heart felt soulful story telling. I’m going to bless you guys with my favorite tracks and hope you like them just as much as I do.
Need You Now
When You Got a Good Thing
If I knew Then

There are some artist who need to grace our ears with new music every six months or risk becoming irrelevant in the spectrum of things. These artist are never far from within the publics line of vision. And then there are those artist who will release an album and appear to drop off the face of the earth. Years and months go by and yet and still these artist manage to remain a main-staple in the minds and hearts of people, of their fans. They remain relevant to the time despite the day, as singles of past years projects maintain regular radio rotation. These artist don’t buckle under pressure nor do they falter to the threat of the hour-glass. They dwell in the realm of creation until their vision aligns with the product they have produced. It is then they grant themselves access to be reintroduced to the industry. It is then that they offer to the world, what they have held so near and dear to their hearts, seeking a new impression, hoping to incite the legions of fans who await their reemergence. Sade is one such artist and the album Soldier of Love is a perfect example of timeless talent. This album offers a ten track discourse in the pains and pleasures associated with love. It also showcases pure talent, as it pairs Sade’s signature voice with pure musicianship. Overall I wasn’t disappointed. Check out a few of the tracks off the album below. Be sure to purchase the album in stores Feb 8th.

“Omarion hits the scene with his third studio album, Ollusion. Throughout each record on the forthcoming release, Omarion showcases his growth as an artist and entertainer [pause]. Omarion is back with an updated sound and truly consistent album that proves he has grown up, as his fans have. The triple threat known for his vocal, dancing and acting abilities [HA!], penned and co-produced all of the songs on Ollusion. Producers who collaborated on the album include Tank, King, Detail and 253, among others; along with guest appearances by Gucci Mane and Fabolous.”
It’s not that bad tho…
So starting this week everyday if possible I’ll up my pick for the top ten albums of the year. After an extensive listening of most (if not all) the major releases for this year (and only albums and EPs count), I ranked them based off how well the albums sounded to me in certain areas. These areas are: production, lyricism, flow, content, and replay value. From there this list was born…so enjoy what I came up with…
Lets start with pick 10
10. Redman and Method Man-Blackout 2Notable Production: Pete Rock, Eric Sermon, Havoc, and Redman
Guest Stars: Keith Murray, Eric Sermon, Bun B
Why its Number 10: Lets get one thing clear here, Redman and Method Man are what people would consider “old-school” hip-hop (its crazy to hear myself say that about Meth and Red), so to many of you these guys are probably conceived as being dated and not making whats hot. Well with the
Blackout 2, they reminded the naysayers that not only are Meth and Red relevant but that gritty, lyrics driven hip-hop is far from dead. Backed by some of the hottest producers in hardcore hip-hop, Meth and Red manage to entertain, while at the same time never sacrificing any of their creativity or lyricism for commercial success. Songs like “I’m Dope Nigga” is straight street music for those of us who are tired of weak ad-libs (AYE!) and straight tomfoolery in our music. While “Errybody Scream” (featuring Keith Murray) is a flurry of punchlines and wit that will definitely have to be replayed to catch them all. The energy they share is uncanny, and when you pair them with someone like Bun B for “City Lights”, you realize that these guys are still some of the sharpest spitters around.
Notable Tracks: City Lights,
I’m Dope Nigga,
A-Yo,
Four Minutes to Lockdown,
and Mrs. International...
Snewty believes in equal opportunity. I don’t have anything against Gucci Mane. He serves his purpose..and he’s actually okay in small amounts, as long as I have good music to balance me out. So since Snewty believes in Balance ,and I think this site does a pretty good job in bringing you music from all walks of life and genres..why should we leave Gucci Mane out. So here are a few tracks from his album dropping this month. Enjoy, wild out, get wasted to them.. then make sure you repent immediately and go play some Foreign Exchange.
Classical- (my fav track by far off the album…Gucci has his name chanted in an opera voice)
Volume- (I’d be lying if I said I won’t be bumping this shit extra hard)
