It’s coming. The Essence Music Fest in New Orleans is happening July 1-4, 2011. Some artist performing include Charlie Wilson, Miguel, Fantasia and Jennifer Hudson. So all I have is one question: Will you be there?
Been missing for awhile but we back in effect and bringing you some dopeness from non other than Erykah Badu. Watch and enjoy!!!!
Curren$y is back with the “Covert Coup” EP, the prequel to the heavily anticipated Muscle Car Chronicles album/film that has been pushed back once already. This 10-Track Ep is produced entirely by The Alchemist, and if you know anything about him you know that this Ep is going to be quality. Click the Pic to download the link.
Frank Ocean, OFWGKTA affiliate, singer/songwriter, The shit!!!! If you haven’t had a chance to check out this album……. You need to. Right Now!!!!! It’s probably the best R&B mixtape this year. Sorry Chris Brown and Trey Songz, but y’all ain’t got sit on this.
Know I’m late to post this but you need to download that YFOIFI but Rocky Knuckles. #STL is steady bringin the heat and muthafuckas need to wake up and pay attention!! Come aboard the #BulletTrain!!! Click pic to download.
Just got hip to Rapsody. She’s the shit #NuffSaid and 9th Wonder backs her so she must be dope. The mixtape “Return of the B-Girl” is definitely a must listen. Click the pic to download.
My friend sent me a message a few minutes ago when I was telling them about the interviews today and all they replied with was “Lucky Bum”. And it got me thinking about how fortunate I really am about doing the Essence Of Fresh radio show and getting to meet and interview the people that I do. Like how often do people get to say “Hey, I do a radio show and I get to interview some of the hottest artist on the local music scene and beyond.” Like that is really some humbling sh*t when it is all boiled down. I am truly lucky and thankful that I get to talk to and meet wonderful and creative human beings like Tef Poe and Indiana Rome. It’s really just a blessing! :-) That’s all I wanted to say. Now I’m out my feelings! Peace and Love.

Good day people.
A lot has happened for Big K.R.I.T. since I listed him in the my top 10 albums/mitapes of the summer. He got that XXL Mag cover for the freshman top 10 in 11’, showcases at SXSW, and features out the ass!!!! And now after it being pushed backed from the 22nd, Return Of 4Eva is finally here!!!! You can click the pic for the download. Enjoy!!!!
So basically the power went out on us at the studio so we couldn’t do the Tef Poe interview this week. No worries though because March 30th we will have both the Tef Poe interview and a call in from the homie Dj Trackstar who’s over in L.A. now doing big things!!!! So make sure you guys check back in with us and listen to the show Wednesdays at 10pm. Holla!!!!
