R&B Fridays: Episode 135

: January 29, 2012


I wanted to open this week’s episode with a breakdown of why the number 135 was special. Turns out, nothing of any significance is tied to the number, so that’s that.

A few decent posts to recap on from the week gone by, with Ed Sheeran and Yelawolf teaming up for the first track from their upcoming EP, John Legend hooking up with Ludacris for a solid R&B jam, the excellent Elle Varner dropping off a brand new mixtape for her fans to enjoy, and finally a fantastic chillout instrumental from MeLo-X.

All caught up? Good. Feel free to resume your browsing by clicking below for this week’s instalment. There’s also a surprise new feature included in this episode that we’ve been requested to add for some time. Mysterious.

Two New Crooked I Tracks

: August 18, 2010


Couple of nice ones from Crook’s Planet C.O.B. Volume 1 project. His rhymes are never in question, so instead I’ll go with the production verdicts.

Independent comes through with an interesting hybrid production, meshing together some futuristic synths with a bounce-your-head, driving percussion to good effect. The percussion keeps a raw hip-hop vibe about it, which takes the edge off the synths appropriately.

Let Me Buy You A Drink features John Legend’s brother Vaughn Anthony on the hook, and Crook rhyming over a mellow, R&B-style beat, the likes of which I’ve not heard him on before. He certainly makes it work though, switching to a storytelling style that  works well for him.
