A much needed Black Music thread.

Looks like all my posts in this thread from last Monday on got lost in the terb outage.

Anyways I finished my "various artists" posts as of Thursday night so if you saw them you saw them, and if not I can't rebuild them.

Going forward I will post more music, that will be much more focused by artist and/or category...

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year everyone. All the best for 2024. In keeping with the theme when I get back from brunch later I'm going to post a few songs related to all things new.

How about some "Daisy Age" hip-hop to start off 2024...

Nailed it @xmontrealer !!!
Freestyle Fellowship some nice underground stuff from the 90's
Del is one of the most underrated MC's of all time.
And "Where I'm From" is my ATF Digable Planets joints.

This was a cut from the EP 'All Souled Out' which was their 1st release before they created 2 bomb LP's. Loved this one as well

The song title was also used as the title of their debut studio LP.

I meant to do this yesterday but here's a few "NEW" themed songs to ring in the new year

First up one of the most beautifully composed songs ever. "You Make Me Feel Brand NEW" by the Stylistics

"Papa's Got a Brand NEW Bag" - James Brown

"Its a NEW Day" by the Skull Snaps

"Old To the NEW" - Nice & Smooth

 

[K Douglas]

Its not often I'm impressed with the newer music that is released but this sounds pretty dope to me. Got a nice house/lounge vibe to it

What you know about The Escorts?
I Can't Stand to See You Cry

Canada's version of the Backstreet Boys.

"Faded" - soulDecision feat. Thrust

This song hit #1 in Canada and #25 on the Billboard Hot 100.
