Raekwon & El Michels Affair - "PJ's" (audio)
I hesitate to tag this Pete Rock cover as 'new music' as I'm sure I saw this on a bunch of blogs months ago, no? From the Fallin' Off the Reel Vol. 2, compilation by Truth & Soul Records.

Video: Kanye West - "Stronger/Hey Mama" (Live at the Grammys)
Visually amazing but middling frankly, even his touching tribute to his late mom. Best performance of the night was the Herbie Hancock duet with homeboy doing Gershwin's "Rhapsody in Blue." Props to Kanye and Amy Winehouse on their multiple award wins and to my dude, Mark Ronson on his Producer of the Year win. Amazing! More clips as they surface online....

The Sharon Jones & the Dap-Kings album is out!
This is something I'd usually put on my other site, The In Crowd (and I did) but this project deserves more attention than that. The 100 Days, 100 Nights album's been out for a minute but it's a travesty that's its being largely ignored when it's clear the market is open to checking out vintage soul sounds as evidenced by the amazing sales success of the Amy Winehouse album this past year. I won't speculate on why that is (!), just check it out:

This stuff is so dope - DON'T SLEEP, go check it out. You'll thank me later 'cos you can't go around talking about how 'soulful' sounding the new Jay album is and then not listen to this. Seriously....

Amy Winehouse feat. Pharoahe Monch & Jay-Z "ReHab (Urban Legendz Escobar RMX)"
Amy Winehouse live at the Highline Ballroom in NYC (image courtesy aphrodite-in-nyc)
More Pharoahe Monch along with Jay-Z doing his best impersonation of Rick Ross' flow yet again on a brand new remix of Amy Winehouse's "Rehab" by (?) or at least sent to me by DJ Tone Capone:
- Amy Winehouse feat. Pharoahe Monch & Jay-Z
BTW: Thanks to my dude Shawn at Universal Music, I caught Amy live last week with the Dap Kings at the new Highline Ballroom venue. It was definitely a solid show and she sounded good although she never really "took it to church" the way Keke Wyatt and Teedra Moses did at a really good TVT Records soul music showcase I was at a couple days later. And I swear to God, homegirl was so drunk and slurrring her words in between songs that I could not understand a friggin' word she said and I'm actually from England! I also wish she'd done "In My Bed" and maybe had Ghostface there to do "You Know I'm No Good" but I figure if he's even done it one of the now many times she's played NYC, that's probably it. Check out some live video clips here.

New Amy Winehouse: "Rehab (Desert Eagle Mix)"
I know I've done a bunch of posts recently mentioning this chick Amy Winehouse and she's already on the verge of being overexposed in the blog world (and beyond) like Lily Allen, but she actually deserves her hype. Her Back to Black
album, which finally hits stores in the US next Tuesday (March 13), is gonna probably be one of the best of the year. Here's a remix by Desert Eagle of one of the singles, "Rehab," from the album:Listen: "Rehab (Desert Eagle Mix)" [MP3 | Windows | Real | Quicktime]

The Return of Soulsville, USA!
This probably fits better on my other site but, since I update it so infrequently and this is culurally MAJOR news, I'm posting it here instead. The legendary Stax records, unquestionably one of the greatest record labels of all time, is back to celebrate its 50th anniversary:

Semi-Related: Amy Winehouse "Love is a Losing Game" - along with the return of Stax, if this song doesn't evoke a 60's world of sleek E-type Jags, all-nighters in Soho basement clubs and Gitane cigarettes for you I don't know what to say. An amazing song from her about to be released Back to Black, an overhyped album that actually deserves its hype.
