Mike over at Gureala put me on to this a while back, for those that may not be aware, Waxpoetics has released a book full of nothing but dope album covers, selected by major collectors in the game. The only drawback of the book is that the owners of the records don’t explain their selections, that bothers me. In essence it’s a coffee table picture book. But worth the purchase, indeed.
One of my favorite soul groups of all time, Black Ivory. This is a video of the group preforming “Don’t Turn Around” live in 1970, not to mention the only video on this song, period. Me and my buddy AL love these dances, check out the steps!!! And look at the kung-fu robes!!! Dope.
Word on the street is that the group is working on a reunion album…could just be a rumor though. Keep up with the groups (then) lead singer Leroy Burgess on his personal site.
Enjoy…

I’ve recently put together a new mix, this one is for the upcoming week of valentine’s day. A definite change of pace from the last mix, Boogiesco, however, Sex, Love & Heartbreak will definitely get you in the zone for either of those three things on the 14th!…hopefully not the heartbreak.
All the tracks are inspired by situations in the lives of us ALL. Enjoy.

Sidenote: Kicks & Snares Vol.1
One of the dopest producers that not many people know about, Algorythm, drops his first online instrumental…in what will be a series of more to come. I’ve had the opportunity to listen to the music, and it’s a MUST HAVE, probably some of the dopest beats that I’ve heard in 07 and 08 so far!!! Be sure to pay close attention to detail within each track, you might miss something!!! I won’t tell too much more, you have to enjoy it as much as I did during my first listen.
