EWH Meets Snoop

  Hot Waters (Benny Tones's Bootlegger Shuffle) by Benny Tones

The Kid Daytona

Here is the dope free album from The Kid Daytona titled "The Interlude". The free album is so good that I can't wait for the full length album to come, and that's a rare feeling for me and hip hop these days for someone who doesn't even have an official album out... no offense to hip hop...i'm just sayin'.

Jacquline Taieb

This song by French artist Jacquline Taieb was just abot the only thing to get me moving on this rainy, dreary Brooklyn morning.



Originally from Tunisia, Jacquline Taieb gained notoriety as a pop and yé-yé singer in France in the 1960s. This song, Le coeur au bout des doigts, was recorded in 1968 and is off an EP of the same name. Enjoy!

Ser O No Ser

THE DANAY EP… / Ser o no ser

Here's another track from the singer Danay's latest EP of improvisational jazz Cuban style. These videos give a good glimpse not only at the talent of the singer Danay, but depth of soul and jazz roots in this amazing band of Cuban musicians. My favorite part about Danay though is that she's one of the illest MC's i've heard from Cuba in a while and is part of the hip hop group Los Aldeanos. Look out for the EP on Brownswood Recordings and her full length studio album in the near future.  For now you can cop the EP here.

Sounds Like Love

I was recently blessed with an opportunity to see my man Miguel Atwood-Ferguson perform live in downtown Los Angeles the other day. The show was outdoors and he went on around dusk. A packed crowd sat in the shadows of one of LA's skyscrapers and watched the blue and grays of the smog filled sky turned orange, laveder then purple while listening to Miguel's orchestral soundtrack. While there I picked up a copy of "Miguel Atwood-Ferguson Unreleased Vol. 1". Here's one of the many gems:
