BamaLoveSoul presents Wilson Pickett: a funky situation | the remixes (PREVIEW)
Dope promo vid for a project that I was a part of presented by DJ Rahdu and the BamaLoveSoul crew. I chopped the shit out of a Wilson Pickett song and transformed it into something special in a short bus FreshNerd kind of way. . Support it when it drops next month.
“The BamaLoveSoul Crew will be releasing their second original music compilation, a funky situation: the remixes Jan 2011. This compilation was created completely by having producers from across the globe flip songs from Wilson Pickett’s 1978 a funky situation album.”
Beat featured in video: Byron the Aquarius – The Wicked

Retna Speaks on “Blessed Are The Meek”
“L.A. based street artist Retna, took some time to talk with L.A.’s newest website LAFWD.org to discuss his newest piece that can be seen in Downtown L.A.’s skid row called “Blessed Are The Meek.” The mural was created with fellow artist El Mac and photographer Estevan Oriol for The Jonah Project, a church operating in a converted warehouse on 6th St. and Crocker Street.”
Shoutout to Kristen for the heads up.

FreshBeats: Mister Curry – Don’t Wanna Do It
The homie from L.A. sent me over a banger that left me with bass face…..it’s still stuck actually. I’m a fiend for big dirty basslines and this track does its job satisfying my aural needs (pause) on that end. But that’s not the only level Mister Curry delivers on. The melodic synth on top of the un-quantized drums creates good balance of pretty & dirty. Kinda like Halle Berry in ‘Monster’s Ball‘….ha! get it??
Ok, enough of my corny jokes…..check out Mister Curry for more dope here.

FreshPick: James Blake – Limit To Your Love
My teacher put me on to this kid’s music last week and I must admit….very different/dope but still easy to swallow. I’ll be looking into more of his catalog as soon as I get a free second. I’m sure he’ll be a household name in the next couple of years.
