Following on from the superb DJ Premier and Berklee Symphony Orchestra track from a few days ago, the second track from the ReGeneration concept brings together a fantastic range of artists to infuse the wonderful New Orleans jazz style with a little hip-hop and soul.
Badu sounds as interested as I’ve heard her in a long time, as she comes through with a phenomenally addictive performance from start to finish, with vocals full of vibrancy and bounce that spans the range of genres to anchor them together in a cohesively funky sound. Zigaboo is relentless on the drums as he drives the track along, whilst Trombone Shorty provides energetic bursts of his horn that blend with the instrumentation brought by the Dap Kings to create a lovely feelgood vibe, with the overall combination proving a genuinely exceptional backdrop to Erykah’s vocals.
Another absolutely fantastic track from the ReGeneration project, and I hope this inspires more to try these styles out. In a music scene increasingly devoid of true character and worth to the music, the passion and purity of the music here makes for a brilliantly refreshing listen.

Probably the last leak we’ll post from Teflon Don (unless Ricky leaks the Jay-Z collaboration himself). This is quite simply a great collaboration, has that epic feel to it that Justice League are renowned for producing. Surprisingly Rick Ross’ verse steals the show on this one. Go grab it below.

This video is nothing short of magnificent. Must-watch for everyone.
I’ve been liking this song for some time, as it’s so chilled out and mellow it’s practically perfect to listen to any time. If you’re seeing this after a heavy night, watch this and you’ll find it really easygoing.
The video is utterly brilliant. I won’t ruin it, but it’s such a departure from what I expected from the audio and is possibly a contender for video of the year so far. It’s so, so simple which leaves it wonderously open to interpretation. Great job that will inevitably be hugely underrated.

Visuals for Badu’s single from her upcoming album. Haven’t checked them out yet, but I expect them to be pretty interesting based on the track.

Very unexpected collabo. Apparently, there are 9-10 other version with different rappers in place of Lil’ Wayne that may surface: please, please let that be true.
The track is decent, although it is a bit mainstreamy compared to a lot of Erykah’s material. It’s not too bad though, and I’d much rather have Erykah and Bilal in the mainstream than most other people.
