Exciting news for Colin Munroe fans, he’s getting back on his grind:
“I’ve been gone for a little while, but I’m still here. There were some things that needed dealing with and that dealing is almost done. I was intentionally not releasing any new solo material during that period, but that period is about to end. The story continues and so will the music. I hope you enjoy this small taste of what is to come. Don’t look away. Don’t think less of me.”
And here is some new music from him:
Colin Munroe – I Would Die 4 U (Prince Cover)
This track is seriously in danger of being overlooked in favour of a certain Kanye/Beyonce collabo that’s just dropped, which would be a real shame. R&B/Soul singer Novel is someone I’ve only just started to hear about and what I’ve been hearing has largely been pretty fantastic, this track being the best I’ve heard from him thus far.
Collaborating once again with Joell Ortiz, who provides a soothing verse to accompany this tribute to that special someone, Novel has given us a song that you can really just sit back and relax to. With Colin Munroe assisting with his vocals, you have a winner of a track right here.

Video for that Slum Village joint Ajay posted last month.
Not sure what else to say about this so here’s keyboard cat to play you out.
Didn’t really give this song the time it deserved when it first dropped, and have to say that will be changing as it’s actually quite good.
Chilled out Statik beat, very good lyricism in Bun/Wale’s verses, and another good hook from Colin makes for a nice track. Video is a good fit for the audio, and will definitely rediscover/discover the good vibes about this one.

This should excite most of you. Underground favourites Slum Village team up with one of the better upcoming talents in Colin Munroe. Colin always delivers great hooks, which tend to seamlessly cross borders between an indie, pop and soul sound, whilst Slum Vil’s credentials need little elaboration for those of you checking this one out.
A smooth and atmospheric beat provides the perfect backdrop for these guys to lay vocals down on, with some nice flows in the verses and a great hook as previously mentioned. This track could have a lot of crossover appeal, both across hip-hop and other genres.
Slum Village-Faster ft. Colin Munroe
Absolutely superb collaboration. Colin Munroe slays this hook, and Naledge drops some dope verses. The beat is a really good one too, and the overall uplifting and motivational feel of this track is definitely a likeable one. Just Blaze is credited with a feature on this track as his ‘alter ego’ Red 5ive, although it sounds like he’s only on backing vocals. Works for me though as he’s also a co-producer on it, and having Just on production in any capacity is always a good thing.
This is an all-rounder that will definitely suit a wide variety of tastes. Could be a really big hit too, if given the right promo, and gives me high hopes for the upcoming album.

Much like the other recent Bun-B track I posted (which also happened to feature Colin Munroe) this has a stellar line up. With 88-Keys and Talib Kweli assisting, you know it’s going to be pretty decent.
Don’t Die ft. 88-Keys, Talib Kweli & Colin Munroe
New leak from Statik’s upcoming 100 Proof (The Hangover) album, judging by a previous ‘Classic Collabo’ post of mine and another recent feature heavy leak by Statik, you know this is going to be good. If that isn’t enough for you then the fact that Bun B, Wale and Colin Munroe all feature on this track should have your attention.
This track is pretty mellow which is perfect for Wale’s flow and with Colin Munroe’s hook, makes this a great track to chill to. Go get it below:
So Close, So Far ft. Bun B, Wale & Colin Munroe
As I posted earlier this week, there has been a build-up of tracks in my library that I simply haven’t had the time to post over the last 2 weeks. Well, this is the final clearout from the last 2 days, after which I’m back on sentry duty and posting it on the minute I get it. This is a pretty nice collection too, with Drake, Sadé (that’s right!), Rev Run (that’s right!), Wale and more making appearances.

Now that I’ve finally had some time, a quick glance over my inbox threw up this little gem that Mick Boogie sent across. It’s the latest project from himself and Terry Urban (from a long line of classic mixtapes, go here for some) and is a tribute to the veterans of hip-hop, De La Soul. There are some great names contributing on this, including Talib Kweli, Camp Lo, Colin Munroe and many more.
Definitely worth grabbing, and anyone who owns one of these boys’ previous projects will know that this is going to be something special.
Hit this link here for more info, the tracklisting, and of course the download link.

And the goods just keep on coming. This has got to be one of the biggest days for mainstream music in recent times. 3 new Drake tracks and 1 from Kanye after the click.

Now this is awesome. Wale and Colin Munroe hook up to take on The Verve’s classic Bittersweet Symphony and remake it into a superb track of their own. It’s not clear whether this is from the upcoming album or not, but either way don’t miss this great slice of alternative hip-hop from two of the best talents around right now.
