by

shunward

Singer,Shun Ward is a favorite of Nuflavainyaear and He has released his debut mixtape “Pet Blue Dolphin”. He is representing Houston, Texas and is an artist from Gruvsoul Entertainment. This mixtape gives me a 90′s vibe and it’s definitely some flava to relax to. Shun Ward covers classics from Sade to Ginuwine and his vocals are so smooth. My favorite track is “Dying For Love”, because we use to always spin that joint on the NCrowd Radio show and I have been hooked since. This is a MUST download so Get Hip.

This is definitely some heat for the summer and Gabbie Giftsz  proves once again she is no mediocre emcee.

What Ever Happen to? Field Mob

I’ve been on a little hiatus lately from the site. I have been trying to finish this school semester strong so bare with me here. The summer is near!

I actually really enjoyed Field Mob‘s music but I knew they would not be around for long. I heard that Smoke had a new track but did not really hear too much buzz around it. The way way music is going today a lot of our favorites just can not make the cut. Thank God for the hits Field Mob did make though because lord knows I live for “Sick of Being Lonely” and “So What”.

Enjoy your Tuesday.

Guess Who‘s BIZZAACCKKKKKK!!!!!

I decided to do a post on some Underground artists that I have been listening to for the past couple months. Some of these artists you may know and some you might just be getting hip to them. Underground music has took over my life lately mainly because I am getting bored with mainstream music.
Check out these artists!

MUTYA KEISHA SIOBHAN

This group is the real deal! They are an english girl group based in London. I love how they put a 90′s soul vibe on this Kendrick Lamar track.

SHUN WARD
shun-ward-sip-of-my-cup

I got exposed to Shun Ward while I was on The N-Crowd radio show. I like his smooth voice and anyone who can do a great remake of Sade is always a plus. The “Dying for love” single was the first track I heard, he is a really talented guy.

JOEY BADA$$

Joey Badda$$ is a rapper out of Brooklyn. His buzz been ringing but to me he is still underground and I love it. My cousin sent me his music one morning and I have been hooked ever since. His flow is insane and those instrumentals are classic.

GABBIE GIFTSZ

Gabbie Giftsz is so innovative. I love how she does not bite her tongue and is not following the trend of female rap. Check out the interview I did on her, she’s dope!

CHILDISH GAMBINO

TIMIYA

Of Course I have more, so stay tuned next week for so more dope artists!

Sistas With Voices: Etta Bond

I don’t know why it took me so long to put Etta Bond in a post, I got exposed to her music during the summer of 2012. She is originally from London and her voice is amazing. She recently debuted her LP “Emergency Room” which is more of an electronica inspired album. Her voice is so soulful and angelic I would love to hear more acoustic versions like the first video below. Also shout out to Soul Culture for putting me on to so many talented artists. UK singers definitely got that flava.

Check out Etta Bond!!

LeonaLee’s Song Of The Day: Those Were The Days x Aaliyah

I find it interesting that people really didn’t pay any attention to Aaliyah till she passed away. I guess it’s true they only love you when your buried and gone. For some reason this generation suddenly has a certain fascination with her which is cool because she deserves recognition. I’ve been on Aaliyah since “Back & Forth” days when she was rocking the patch on her eye. I mean only a true Aaliyah fan would know this song anyways. I had to be the only fourth grader who listened to this album and after she passed away I raped it every night.I thank my father for putting so much good music in my life.

Those were the days…

Sistas With Voices: VanJess x Drumroll

I’m so happy for my ladies, for finally releasing their original song “Drumroll”. People were doubting their star quality with their own original songs but I absolutely love this!! I love the reggae feel, the lyrics and the video has some dope fashion trends. The message in this song is so true because it’s a lot of guys out here that can’t even get a drumroll, they need a little work.

Can’t wait to hear their debut album…

Song Of The Day: Miguel x Do You

I absolutely love this song, I have been listening to it for the last two weeks. I can not get enough of Miguel and his smooth voice. He definitely makes music for the grown & sexy so kids go to sleep. I adore his raw talent.
Enjoy!
