I dont usually get into anything Chris Brown, but I caught this instumental of his track “She Aint You” which borrows heavily from Michael Jackson’s Human Nature & SWV‘s – Right Hear.
I Heard it while check out the dope Keepin’It Soul #1 podcast at Harlem Condo Life

Raphael Saadiq could be best described as a contemporary neo- rhythm & blues all-round artist (singer, musician, record producer). He is apparently an ancestor of original or as we say today “old school”, rhythm & blues from the 60s & 70s who retains the legacy of that musical era and is living out his own legacy today.

Saadiq is probably best known for when he was in multiplantinum renowned 80s rhythm & blues group Tony! Toni! Toné! His solo work pretty much involved the release of three solo albums plus the production of songs of award-winning artists such as D’Angelo, TLC, Mary J Blige, John Legend and Joss Stone, just to name a few. He has also collaborated with renowned artists such as Jay-Z, Stevie Wonder and Q-Tip. Perhaps he is not what the media hungers for, but he is definitely worth the recognition of the amazing work he has done. I love him!
Check out the video below for his song 100-Yard Dash, if you are a late-reaction-kind-of-person like me at times. I heard this song on Ellen. If this song doesn’t make you wanna get up and dance or at least head-bop, there’s something seriously wrong with you 😉

Having just completed his first season as a regular at We Love Space Ibiza alongside partner in crime Mr Doris, Australian funkster Dj Mo’funk (Mo Nunez) has continued on the path to a endless summer now relocating to his hometown of Sydney.
In the last few months there has been quite a few happenings; a few tours across Asia and Oz with The Cuban Brothers, some highly coveted support slots throughout the New Year period like Grandmaster Flash, Crazy P, Kenny Dope and a host of others.
There is something on the big screen to look out for in the coming months with a much talked about movie highlighting the island of Ibiza and its legendary music scene “And The Beat Goes On” is set to premiere in time for the start of the 2010 season and features a young Mo talking about his entrance onto the islands clubbing scene, where he made an immediate impact in 2008 with a much coveted role as resident for the iconic Pacha Ibiza. Since then his rise has continued on having last year kicked things off with world renowned pre-party sunset destination Cafe Mambo. 3 of the most prestigious clubbing brands on the island now call Mo their regular: Pacha, We Love Space and Cafe Mambo!
