The Audacity of Dope

Slakah might be the most underrated vocalist in R&B, plus he’s nice on production.  The beat here was handled by LordQuest though and this is featured on Promise’s new album, Awakening, which you can peep here.

Hope you all had a great Thanksgiving holiday and got to spend it with friends and family.  Here’s this week’s SNSS episode, featuring new music from artists like Sean Price, Freeway, Raheem DeVaughn, Wiz Khalifa, Fashawn, Murs, 9th Wonder, Rapsody, Don Trip, Zion I, Goapele, J. Pinder, and more.  We were also joined in studio by Bruce Leroy, one of our favorite MC’s out of Tacoma right now.

Enjoy!
