Muhsinah‘s new album The Oscillations:Triangle is out now on iTunes! The above video is the second teaser for the album, featuring the track Always. Muhsinah is top of the class of ’09 where neo-soul/hip-hop spectrum is concerned, so I’d urge everyone to get this checked sooner rather than later. Plus, like I mentioned previously, the album also features production by Flying Lotus and Oddisee. What are you waiting for?!

This is the psychedelic new video to the track Still Love by LA group Pollyn. Still Love is taken from Pollyn‘s debut album This Little Night, which is available right now. Blending subtle electronic sounds with ethereal vocals, the track is both haunting and beautiful. It feels like a tasteful homage to that 90s trip-hop era, whilst staying most definitely in the now with its sharp dubstepesque production techniques.
The single also contains remixes by Sid Roams (of Dilated Peoples production fame), … [read more]

Like many genres and sub-genres out there at the moment, hip-hop continues to move through changes, stretches and amalgamations of sounds. Hip-hop music is, as most people are already very much aware, a component of the hip-hop cultural movement which started in New York during the 70s. But you didn’t have to be a teenager living in the Bronx to be a part of the hip-hop revolution. New York City, even today, only has a population of around 8 million people – but far, far … [read more]
