Ghostpoet is a spoken word London based artist who focuses on hip hop with a jazz twist. His Ep “The Sound Of Strangers” is unlike anything we’ve encountered in quite sometime, our radar watch is in high gear and we’re certain many other’s will be saying the same thing in the following months. “Gone” is below and a full length should see daylight by the Fall.

All it takes is for one doorway to open, then everything else falls into place.
Such is the case for Aloe Blacc, the multi talented artist who’s on the verge of a breakout year. Already creating a huge buzz with his soulful modernized hustle anthem “I Need Dollar,” which speaks to the majority of middle aged youth just trying to make it in society. Blacc, the West Coast native who’s no newbie to the industry and has been in the game for over 15 years, mainly known for his partnership with Exile and there group Emanon. In a world where a once love filled relationship is quickly souring, Blacc is an epitome of what the music world needs right now, and could be the jolt everyone has been so anxiously awaiting for.

Looks like Aloe Blacc fever is about to begin, since our posting last week on the West Coast native, word is spreading fast of his “How To Make It In America” intro song “I Need A Dollar.” Although he’s far from being a newbie to the scene, Blacc just might has come upon a great thing, while many will praise his golden vocals, you may want to also peep his rhyme skills. “What Was Your Name” finds the classically trained trumpeter, singer-song writer & rapper switching it up and displaying a verbal onslaught that has us asking “Where’s this kid been?” two things, familiarize yourself with this artist, then head over to Stonesthrow and purchase more of his work.

Jamie Cullum has once again proved why he’s one of the most talented artist of today, now we just wish more of his marketing was done here in the states. Cullum puts his own Jazzy spin on Rihanna’s “Don’t Stop The Music” in a way so dope and so original, it would be hard to not appreciate his attempt. Visuals are above and album “The Pursuit” is available now digitally but won’t hit the U.S. until early next year.
