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.

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!

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!

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…

New Flava: Kat Dahlia x Gangsta

Kat-Dahlia-Gangsta

Just when I was getting tired of the female R&B category, my girl Kat Dahlia came and saved me! I don’t really know too much about this talented young lady except for the fact she is a singer/ songwriter based out of Miami, FL. I love how she made this song her own with a reggae melody.I’m pretty sure we will be hearing more from her pretty soon though but I can’t get enough of this song. I can’t wait to see more pictures of her, she looks like she has a cool retro style to her and I would love to interview her.

This is for all you so called wanna be thugs who think we are impressed by your gangsta mentality. We have been through hell too!

Throwback Moment: Erykah Badu x Danger x Showtime at the Apollo

I don’t know why this song is always over looked at when it comes to Erykah badu‘s classics but it got a spot in my list. I love the energy and story line in this song. This is for my ladies holding a man down with a “complex situation”. Remember single ladies every thug needs a lady so don’t judge a man by his record just yet.  I just don’t understand how the audience was sitting down looking all calm when this woman was killing it on stage. Incredible!

Glock on cock, the block stay hot!

Thowback Moment: Mark Morrison x Return Of The Mack

This throwback is for my Mama! My mother use to love this song so much she would play the cassette tape all day long and when we would go out she would take it with her to play it in the car. To be honest when I was younger I never really knew what he was saying but I just loved the way he sounded. This 90′s flava is everything!

Return of The Mack!!
