BJ is absolutely killing the melodies these days…just listen to those few seconds where the beat cuts out…wow. His project, Pineapple Now-Laters, was supposed to drop on Valentine’s Day but it’s been pushed back until the 21st.  It will be well worth the wait.

I just found out that there’s actually audio accompanying Cassie’s new video.  Huh.  Did not know that.

I mean, really, y’all know how I feel about Cassie.  I had to post this.

We played this Shane Eli record a while back on SNSS and I always thought it was real dope.  Good to see some visuals for it now and I’m happy to toss it up on TAOD.  Hopefully more folks take note, both of Shane’s talent and the knowledge he’s kicking in this song.

Download his project, I Can Do Better, for free right here.

Mitch: New project from L’s.  Tracklist and download link below!  Peep his video for Stussy Pack here if you haven’t already.

Yuna’s latest visuals are for “Live Your Life,” the excellent Pharrell produced lead single for her upcoming album dropping in April.

Huge shout out to Mediafire for randomly deleting all of our archived episodes of Sound Session without any warning or explanation.  I’m hoping they’ll put our files back, but in the interim, all we’ve got is this week’s SNSS.  It makes the perfect Valentine’s Day gift though…trust me.

Oh…and legitimate shouts to Homeboy Sandman for lacing us with a new intro (workinonit!) and for The Good Sin and Fatal Lucciauno for dropping by the studio to talk about their upcoming projects.

With Valentine’s Day on the horizon, Ali teams up with Jake One and Nikki Jean for an original story and accompanying visuals.

The newest visuals from Tay’s Charity Starts At Home album are for “The Good Fight,” a track that should resonate with many around the country right now.  On a personal level, it’s been interesting getting my career going the past few years while most of the US struggle with the recession and the aftermath of Bush’s disastrous reign.  Every time I watch the news (well, The Daily Show and The Colbert Report), it’s jarring to see and hear about all the problems facing our society and economy.

Meanwhile, I’ve managed to come up a bit, bought a condo, and have a job that I enjoy working for the best possible company I could imagine.  I’m not sure I could be any more blessed and I’m thankful that the issues Tay discusses on this record haven’t quite affected me like most folks.  Hopefully I can stay lucky and anyone reading this post can do the same.  Keep working hard and stay positive!  Good things happen to good people.

The last few bars are kinda classic.
