Jive Talkin....'
Something for everyone? Raheem DeVaughn & Too $hort: the Young Turk of Soul and the OG of the Pimp Slanguistics.
New sh-t from the Blow The Whistle album! Too $hort feat. Rick Ross & Pimp C "Money Maker" - WTF, how did this get out? No-one at the label even has this track except the A&R!
Another great Too $hort podcast interview via Mp3.com.
And it's like this dude is everywhere now: peep him on the new Shawnna feat. Too $hort, Ludacris, Lil Wayne & Pharrell "Gettin' Some (remix)" - video coming soon.
Raheem DeVaughn's brand new "You" video (Hi | Med | Lo) - look for this dude to invade NYC in May and June with a series of live shows across the city.
My Latinos represent with the new "Reggae & Reggaeton" mixtape by DJ Furious and the Party Patrol's infamous "Puerto Rico" Rob.
BTW: not Jive-related per se (other than the Clipse seem to be focus of the debate about what actually constitutes the demarcation of the "two" sounds) but The South vs. East Coast/NY hip hop debate continues.
Meanwhile beyond West 25th street:
Large Professor has a solid-sounding new instrumental album called Beatz Vol 1 - but does anybody care?
Dr. Dre's rapping daughter??!!
And finally, should I be admitting to kinda diggin' that new Rihanna single "SOS" (mostly because of the Soft Cell "Tainted Love" sample though)?
