Bashy | Male Pride feat. Wretch 32 & Davinche (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 30 May 2012 12:29:19 +0000

Admittedly, since his debut album Catch Me If You Can in ’09 (which is a highly recommended listen), I fell off the Bashy train and lost track of what he was up to musically. Male Pride dropped last month (yep, definitely slept on this post), and I’m diggin’ it. It’s a interesting spin on the [...]

Nas | Daughters (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 30 May 2012 11:53:57 +0000

The audio for this hit the web a few weeks ago, apparently sparking a backlash from the mother of Nas’ daughter Destiny, who claimed it mis-portrays their daughter etc etc. That aside, it’s a really nice, feel-good track. It’s always endearing to hear artists speak from the heart and the father-daughter relationship is one strikes [...]

Jay-Z & Kanye West | No Church In The Wild feat. Frank Ocean (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 30 May 2012 11:27:58 +0000

No Church In The Wild is for me one of the standout tracks on Watch The Throne album and Frank Ocean on the hook couldn’t sound closer to perfection. I’m still gassed off’ve everybody else’s gas who went to see WTT live last week so I’ll just keep imagining how epic this sounded live and in [...]

Cynikal | Breakfast (Mixtape)

allaboutgoodmusic — Tue, 29 May 2012 18:01:26 +0000

Cynikal is a name I’ve heard a few times over the years but never really got stuck into his material. The East London producer/ rapper recently dropped this free 10-track mixtape and I’ve barely glossed over it, but from the beats and bars I’ve heard it’s sounding like it might just be a winner. As well [...]

Disclosure | What’s In Your Head

allaboutgoodmusic — Sun, 27 May 2012 08:54:37 +0000

Sun, Sand and this incredible House track from Disclosure are all you’re going to need this summer. Infact I can safely say you can enjoy this one in the shade! Following up some amazing numbers such as Boiling feat. Sinead Harnett which they released earlier this month, and Flow from early February, the brothers Howard and Guy [...]

Lianne La Havas | Is Your Love Big Enough? (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Thu, 24 May 2012 17:00:46 +0000

In my eyes Lianne La Havas can do no wrong. She’s still only making a tiny splash in UK music but everything I’ve heard so far has been wonderful. She’s continuing to outpour the goodness with Is Your Love Big Enough? which is perfect for the weather we’ve had over the last few days! Her debut [...]

Virus Syndicate | Money (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Thu, 24 May 2012 16:17:07 +0000

Already receiving daytime plays from BBC 1Xtra’s Ace & Vis and heavy rotation from tastemakers including MistaJam and DJ Target, Money looks set to be a Virus Syndicate hit this summer. “A very welcome update of a Pink Floyd classic, a timely piece of social commentary delivered in the Mancunian bass music Demi-gods’ signature heavyweight style.” – MistaJam [...]

In anticipation of that they’ve just dropped a free mixtape featuring some of their favourite tunes alongside also a few cheeky snippets of tracks from their forthcoming EP. Enjoy! Download via BandCamp Tracklist 1. You [...]

Shlohmo | Gilles Peterson Mix

allaboutgoodmusic — Thu, 24 May 2012 13:42:11 +0000

Absolutely beautiful mix from the one and only Henry Laufer AKA Shlohmo, but to be honest I wouldn’t expect anything less ! The L.A native never fails to produce mind-blowing, original music, whether it’s a remix of Drake’s Marvin’s Room or a track of his own such as the psychedelic Teeth. This mix was recorded last year for Gilles [...]

Jessie Ware & Sampha | What You Won’t Do For Love

allaboutgoodmusic — Tue, 22 May 2012 23:23:57 +0000

Absolutely two of my favourite voices in UK music right now and Valentine is still one of my favourite Sampha – Ware collaborations. Ever. This cover of the Bobby Caldwell classic (as sampled alsoby Common and various others) was performed live at Boiler Room last year and was today unveiled by Jessie as a free [...]

Bo Saris | She’s On Fire (Video & Maya Jane Coles Remix)

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:40:37 +0000

I lurve me some Souly, summery, Motown vibes, and today it comes courtesy of Dutch-born, London residing Bo Saris. I came across this by accident a few weeks ago, and some visuals were released shortly after. Still on the hunt for more Bo Saris but for now this will suffice. Bo Saris | She’s On [...]

Akala | Fire In The Booth Part 2 [Charlie Sloth - BBC Radio 1] (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:15:04 +0000

This is just ridiculous – no slip-ups, no stuttering, just relentlessing kicking knowledge! Know that when you put Akala in front of a microphone, you’re going to learn something and finish up in awe of this man’s talent. As featured on Charlie Sloth‘s BBC Radio 1 Hip Hop show two days ago, and in my [...]

Labrinth | Express Yourself (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 16 May 2012 18:07:42 +0000

Another colourful and big budget music video from the Syco signee for one of my favourite tracks from the recently released debut LP, Electronic Earth. Love the concept of the video and what Labrinth has done with this, which features a sample/ interpolation of Charles Wright. Go ‘head, express yourself. K2 Co-signs RELATED POSTS: Labrinth [...]

Benin City | Baby (Video & LV Remix)

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 16 May 2012 17:40:07 +0000

Benin City have been M.I.A for a minute but they’re back, and by the sounds of this first cut, they’re back with a vengeance. If you’re unfamiliar with this London-based four piece outfit, then make it your business to get to know them! They combine Funk, Soul, Experimental and Future sounds and they do it so [...]

Mikill Pane | You Guest It (EP) & F64

allaboutgoodmusic — Sun, 29 Apr 2012 11:35:23 +0000

So, we don’t don’t usually post too much stuff on here and declare it as ‘good music’ without having actually listened to it first. I haven’t pressed play on this new Mikill Pane project as yet (internet connection is hella slow right now), but we’ve been ‘Team Pane’ for a minute now and thus far [...]

[Flashback] Aaron Soul | Ring, Ring, Ring (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 11:27:15 +0000

I won’t explain the long-winded and pointless backstory as to why I’ve posted this up, but let’s just say listening to it now, over 10 years after it’s original 2001 release, it’s still as much of a tune now as it was then! Who remembers this?! There’s so many parts in this where I keep [...]

J The Exodus | Guiding Star [Live] (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:56:51 +0000

This man is brimming with talent. Singer, rapper and unashemedly with something real to say. Without preaching, J The Exodus manages to deliver knowledge and engage you with flows, and clever wordplay that will have you re-reciting it for a long time to come. This is excellent. K2 Co-signs RELATED POSTS: J The Ex | [...]

Incisive | It’s Alright feat. Frank Blucas (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:38:30 +0000

West London rapper Incisive drops the follow up to the summer-infused This Groove with the equally as excellent It’s Alright, featuring an artist previously unknown to me, that goes by the name of Frank Blucas. Incisive is one of my favourite UK talents, for his consistently quality material and the fact that he actually has [...]

Misha B | Why Hello World (Mixtape)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sat, 28 Apr 2012 10:16:15 +0000

If you haven’t heard the name or voice of Misha B, then you musta slept through the entire third quarter of 2011, when she made her mark on the X Factor stage. If you’re from Manchester, then the name Misha Bryan is one that will be very familiar to you. Rewind back to the very [...]

Jessie Ware | 110% (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Mon, 23 Apr 2012 00:29:59 +0000

With each release, I get a little bit more excited about what this lady’s debut album is going to sound like when it drops later this year! Annie Mac played this track on her Radio 1 show last week and I very much wished I had the ability to rewind live radio at the moment [...]

Tupac (Hologram) | Performs at Coachella 2012 with Snoop Dogg (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Mon, 16 Apr 2012 22:23:20 +0000

Before today I really wished I could’ve made it over to Coachella this year. After seeing this I really, really, really wish I could’ve made it over to Coachella this year. Why? Because Tupac Shakur took to the stage (sort of) for a surprise guest performance with Snoop Dogg. A hologram of the late rapper [...]

[Review] Lauryn Hill | Live in London (14 April 2012)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sun, 15 Apr 2012 14:59:33 +0000

Last night, alongside some 1500 -ish (?) other music fans and aficionados, I spent the evening in the company of Ms Lauryn Hill at London’s indigO2. Admittedly my friends and I went to the gig somewhat apprehensive and not knowing quite what to expect (half not expecting much really) as let’s be honest – the [...]

New visuals from J Cole which features footage from his world tour last year and literally coming up off the sideline to the court off the back of his debut album which went Gold in the US. Love that. Just incase you thought you were seeing thing around the 1.10 mark – no your eyes [...]

Big up to my friend Marky Mark who tweeted about this earlier this week and got me on a brand new hype about it all over again. Hands down one of my favourite DJ mixes ever! Girl Talk aka American DJ/ Producer Gregg Gillis mixes no less than 200 tracks into this and they all [...]

Joy Denalane | Should Have Never feat. Bilal (Jake One remix)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 15:05:39 +0000

Her 2006 album Born & Raised still has some of my favourite songs ever on. If you don’t know about the German singer-songwriter, then please get to know! The last time I heard Joy Denalane and Bilal on a project together was alongside Tweet and Dwele on the Dresden Soul Symphony album (they took a [...]

KOF | An Alternative Soul (EP)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 13:59:46 +0000

A few nights back we were down at YOYO’s in Notting Hill for KOF’s EP launch party which went down a treat! He performed a few tracks from said EP but my highlight was the live performance of Need Somebody which features the amazing Terri Walker! “The EP marks a landmark moment for KOF – [...]

StarOne | Respect feat. Sarah Lillie

allaboutgoodmusic — Sun, 08 Apr 2012 13:19:56 +0000

In a relatively short space of time, StarOne have steadily been making headway in establishing themselves as a stellar Bass music production duo, both through their original material and remixes. Respect is their forthcoming single and features long-time StarOne collaborator – Sarah Lillie. At it’s core, the song is good ol’ UK garage but dressed [...]

Drake | Take Care feat. Rihanna (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sat, 07 Apr 2012 02:35:06 +0000

So finally it’s here – the long anticipated music video for Take Care. And what a brilliant piece of work it is! Directed by the very talented Yoann Lemoine (Lana Del Rey – Blue Jeans /Born To Die, Katy Perry – Teenage Dreams), it’s a far cry from your ‘typical’ rap music video and very [...]

Shakka | Somebody That I Used To Know / Climax feat. Vula (Gotye / Usher cover)

allaboutgoodmusic — Sat, 31 Mar 2012 15:15:37 +0000

So imagine if you took two of the most musically dissimilar yet equally bangin’ tracks of 2012 thus far, stripped ‘em down vocally and then mashed ‘em up into a brand new piece of music – what on earth could that possibly sound like? Luckily Shakka had a bash at just that, and with the [...]

Disclosure | Tenderly

allaboutgoodmusic — Wed, 28 Mar 2012 20:34:05 +0000

In honour of the recent run of sunny days we’ve had over hear, it’s only right that a ‘Spring has sprung’ type playlist comes into fruition. Tenderly has to be on there. I’ve been bumpin’ this hard for a minute now – but listening to it today in the sunshine, it just sounded that much better! [...]

J The Ex | Knowledge is Power ft. Mikel Ameen (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 23:19:52 +0000

The inspirational Knowledge Is Power is the latest from South London artist J The Ex and a well-fitting collaboration with Mikel Ameen. I’ve still only listened to this a handful of times but there’s no doubt that it’s a certified head-nodder. The track also features on the forthcoming short film Illegal Activity (from which the [...]

C.R.O.W.N. | The Motto (Freestyle Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:49:51 +0000

Drake’s The Motto is arguably one of the most popular tracks of 2012 thus far, and has given rise to arguably one of the most popular and frequently quoted phrases in the form of ‘YOLO (You Only Live Once)’. Manchester artist C.R.O.W.N. (Creativity.Reality.Originality.Working.Nonstop.) effortlessly goes in over it, and has his bars brought to life [...]

L Marshall | The Wait (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Tue, 27 Mar 2012 22:22:00 +0000

So if you’re new to the rising UK singer/ songwriter/ producer that is L Marshall – cast your mind back to the infectiously catchy hook from Wretch 32′s smash Traktor, which featured ‘L’. Yep, this L. Or L Marshall as he’s now known. (Much better for Googling him atleast)… The Wait has been on heavy [...]

Plan B | iLL Manors (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Thu, 15 Mar 2012 22:45:02 +0000

The first I heard of Plan B was the track Mama (Loves A Crackhead) back in 2006 off his debut release Who Needs Actions When You Got Words. I remember being impressed with the rawness of it and the fact that he rapped, sang, played the guitar and sampled Hall and Oates – I Can’t [...]

Usher | Climax (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 23:57:53 +0000

It’s been a hot minute since I actually really enjoyed a record that Usher put out. I never got the whole ‘Usher does Dance- driven RnB’ and weren’t feeling the majority of that stuff at all. This, however is something special. Climax is my jam! There was never any question about what Mr Raymond is [...]

Labrinth | Last Time (Video)

allaboutgoodmusic — Mon, 12 Mar 2012 23:17:09 +0000

I think it’s fair to say that when you’re a signee to Syco Music, there’s no expense spared when it comes to creating visuals for records; this one being no exception. It’s a barrage of extra terrestrials, colours and exotic destinations to accompany Labrinth’s Last Time. After the genius that was Earthquake, music fans waited [...]
