Some unreleased Lauryn Hill. All I have to say is WOW, where did this come from??? She's really missed in r&b and hip hop.

Rahsaan Patterson "April's Kiss"

My admiration for Rahsaan Patterson's music continues to grow. I recently had a chance to listen to his third album, 2004's "After Hours" and came away very impressed; the man has soul! Besides his amazing voice, I found him to be very versatile as he ventured between neo-soul and traditional r&b. Here are two selections that stood out to me on the album, and I hope you enjoy them also. Special thanks to Lucille from Mack Avenue Records!
