Aloe Blacc – Together Is Better [Video]

“I believe in a simple idea: we grow more as individuals when we agree to help each other grow together. It is this simple idea that has served as the foundation of all my work…even how I try to live my life. In my songs I sing of optimism…positivity…and cooperation. So when I head Simon Sinek wrote a book called Together Is Better, I dusted off a little song I had written a few years earlier with the same title and offered it to him to help him spread his message. This is that song. My hope, like Simon’s book, is that it serves as a little reminder to all of us to take care of each other…to grow together. I also hope it makes you smile. And if it does, please pass it on to someone you want to inspire or to say thank you to someone who inspires you.” – Aloe Blacc

Aloe Blacc & DJ Rhettmatic – Blaccmatic (Unreleased 2004) [Album]

DJ Rhettmatic and Aloe Blacc liberate a previously-unreleased project from 2004, titled “Blaccmatic”. Says Rhettmatic: How this project came about is basically, both Aloe & myself were at some type of crossroad in terms of what we wanted to do as artists, individually. Aloe was taking a break from Emanon in terms of exploring, recording solo projects & working with different artists….Exile was in the process of becoming the producer he is known today by working on his own solo projects as well as crafting an album with a young, talented MC by the name of “Blu”. As for me, I was also trying to expand my horizons as a producer. Everyone knows me mostly for being a DJ/Turntablist from the Beat Junkies & the only production work that I did that people are aware of is with the Visionaries. I wanted to branch out & work with different artists as well to see what else I can do that I can’t normally do with my own group. I was luckily enough to have Aloe open to the idea in working with me. Around this time period, I was solely using the Akai MPC2000 for my main production equipment, & made a few beats on EMU SP1200 Drum Machine Sample (Listen to the album & guess which machine I used). We recorded 14 songs but had really 11 strong songs. I just remember listening to our project & saying “Wow…Aloe is incredible!”. The plan was to shop the project but
