Coultrain| Wanderer

coultrain Coultrain| Wanderer

Excuse us if we may have been a tad bit late for this one! Coultrain has resurfaced again with “Wanderer” that is currently fulfilling all of our current needs in the soul department. You may remember us introducing the St Louis native last year with his triple p collaboration. Not really much to continue on about this one, the tune itself sums it up. A full length should drop soon, in the meantime head over and purchase the 7″ and a bonus cut as well.

Aloe+Blacc 364x499 Aloe Blacc| I Need A Dollar

This week we posted information about “How To Make It In America” which is HBO’s latest discovery. Amongst the highlights of the very promising show and soundtrack was Aloe Blacc. Blacc is a singer songwriter from California who some (underground only) people may remember from the group Emanon. A fusion of soul & hip hop has placed this West coaster very high on our artist watch list over the coming months. Here’s “I Need A Dollar” from the series soundtrack, which is also the intro song for the show.

Erykah Badu Erykah Badu Releases New Single| Window Seat [Audio]

Apparently Twitter is not as horrid as I thought it out to be. Erykah Badu has released her first single “Window Seat” (via tweet) from the long awaited New Amerykah Part II album, which should see daylight on March 30th. Vintage Badu with ?uestlove on the drums, sounds like a win win if you ask us. New song is after the jump and peep the artwork for the single also, very creative and quite possibly the best artwork I’ve laid my eyes on in quite sometime.
