Jimetta Rose – The Light Bearer [Album Stream]

P.R. 0 Comments

Beginning her journey of maturation at the heart of the Los Angeles music tradition, Jimetta Rose tackles a need for clarity through love in her mini-LP “The Light Bearer”. Produced entirely by kindred spirit and musical titan Georgia Anne Muldrow, the whole record is a master class in the hiphop/soul backed jazz that their city is credited with perfecting. Recorded, written and produced over a two week period, the record chronicles a bond between the two under-sung innovators expressed in a raw urgency characteristic of their most introspective work present in The Light Bearer. The narrative picks up in the beginning of Jimetta Rose’s personal journey out of the nest and into the open where loving is risky and growth is demanded of you. By the end you have a confident Jimetta, cracking the shell, expanding her horizons, being welcomed to the world. “The Light Bearer” is a coming of age tale funneled through the imagination of a jazz romantic whose reality is rooted in the beat heavy soul filling the living rooms of South Central Los Angeles. In a music landscape dominated by male voices, this record promises to be one of the only testaments of truth from the two queens of LA’s allure. Through years of singing in the underground jazz, hip-hop and soul circles of Los Angeles, Jimetta has collaborated with LA illuminates like Anderson .Paak, Miguel Atwood Ferguson, Blu, Shafiq Husayn, HouseShoes, Bilal, Sa­Ra Creative Partners, Carlos Nino and many more. She is a fixture in

LoVel feat. Dave East – Me Too (Remix) [Audio]

P.R. 0 Comments ,

After making noise last year with his ‘Backseat Memories’ EP, multi-talented artist LoVel returns to one of its standout tracks, “Me Too,” for a remix featuring fellow Harlem native and rising rapper, Dave East. For those not paying attention, you should know that East has been on an absolute tear this year. In addition to making the 2016 XXL Freshmen list, he has released a string of bangers and loosies. Those perpetually dope tracks—and compelling collabos like this one—are all part of the campaign for his hopefully soon-coming ‘Kairi Chanel’ project. And on “Me Too,” East sounds right at home on the low-key, atmospheric instrumentation provided by Lee Al-Taquan. LoVel and East make for a formidable duo, not just because of their varied approaches, but because this remix will definitely take some of y’all back. Remember when R&B/Rap hybrid remixes like this would drop all the time in the mid-to-late ‘90s? Yeah, “Me Too” is right there with ‘em. LoVel’s remix of “Me Too” is now available for stream, and can be purchased for download through all major digital retailers, through his new imprint, The Legaxy Era, via EMPIRE Distribution.

LNDN DRGS (Jay Worthy & Sean House) – Burnout 2 [Video]

P.R. 0 Comments , ,

Jay Worthy and Sean House, the rapper and producer duo that make up LNDN DRGS, grabbed plenty of attention after the release of last year’s Aktive full-length. The Fool’s Gold release had the half-Vancouver, half-Los Angeles duo running through old-school beats and channeling their classic influences into the contemporary. The release of “Burnout 2” a couple weeks back felt like a step up though. The track was a genuine play for the summer, sunny as hell and aggressively laid-back. Now they’ve dropped the video, directed by Noisey’s own Justin Staple, for the track, a suitably summery three minutes of hanging out and doing fun shit.

The Game – 1992 [Album Cover]

P.R. 0 Comments

The Game reveals the artwork for his upcoming studio album “1992”. The LP is set to drop sometime later this year. “The cover art is inspired by what was going on in my life, my city & the world when I was 12 years old coming into my teenage years: The Los Angeles Riots, Michael Jordan & the Dream Team featured above on my shirt won Olympic Gold… Crips & Bloods were both pulling me in both directions & joining one of the gangs was almost a normality for a young African American male growing up in Compton & the surrounding areas of Los Angeles County….. Rodney King getting abused by the cops was an unforgettable incident & caused mass hysteria worldwide & the famous OJ Simpson car chase/trial was a huge worldwide televised situation that racially divided a country…. So these are some of the many topics based around my childhood touched on in this album that I wanted to include in the artwork.” – The Game
