This is the first EP from Miles Bonny & Shhor together, and to make sure it’s indispensable in your digital collection, they engage geniuses Tall Black Guy and The Xtraordinair$ for two on point remixes.
Fredfades – Warmth
Label: King Underground Records
After projects with Eikrem and Ivan Ave, it’s time for Norway’s Fredfades to shine solo! But he is not alone on the album, clutching features from some of the best MC’s like MED, Chester Watson, Juju Rogers and a lot more. Take a listen at the bonus EP if you need more! Trust us, you will!
Nick Hakim – Green Twins
Label: ATO Records
Via ATO Records “The anticipated album follows his breakthrough Where Will We Go, Pt. I & II EPs that were self-released on his Earseed Records and praised by the New York Times, NPR Music and more. Green Twins is an experimental step forward with emotional heft gleaned from his experiences in the years since.”
Rejjie Snow feat. Joey Bada$$ & Jesse Boykins III – Purple Tuesday
Label: 300 Entertainment
To get us excited about his upcoming mixtape “The Moon & You”, Rejjie Snow dropped a splendid single, sharing the mic with none other than Joey Bada$$ and Jesse Boykins, the latter taking care of the hook. Soulful hip hop at it’s best!
Omar feat. Leon Ware – Gave my heart (DJ Jazzy Jeff remix)
Label: Freestyle Records
An excellent track from the latest album by London’s crooner Omar gets the remix treatment from the master, DJ Jazzy Jeff. More to come on June 2, when the complete EP will be released.
Via Freestyle “Omar and Freestyle Records wish to dedicate this release to the music and the memory of Leon Ware – a beautiful soul and incredible groundbreaking soul artist.”
Illa J – Sam Cook
Label: Jakarta Records
Illa J let his singing talent to the forefront on his new project titled “Home”, coming out June 30. For now, you can enjoy this excellent first single produced by LA based Calvin Valentine.
Miles Bonny – Miister Man
Label: Bastard Jazz
This track, in homage of Prince, appeared a year ago on Miles Bonny Soundcloud profile (We played it in the Fresh Taste #35 mix). In the pile of tracks honoring this legend music that came out right after is death, this was definitely one of my favorite. You can now grab that on wax with this 7″ official release.
Via Bastard Jazz ” “Miister Man” goes for the jugular with a low slung drum break, a deep synth bassline, Miles signature understated funky vocal growls and horn injections.”
Children Of Zeus – I Can’t Wait / Don’t Say A Word
Label: First Word Records
They had one of the best single of 2016, and now they’re back with an equally dope 45. The B side is a gem! Visit the bandcamp page to buy the 7″ vinyl and listen to the excellent extended version of “I Can’t Wait”.
Via First Word “‘I Can’t Wait’ eases us in on a slow and low 70bpm bump. Hashtag baby making music. Seriously, there needs to be some sort of health warning before playing. Consider this your warning. This is grown folk shit. Classic slow jam material. The flip side ‘Don’t Say A Word’ is on some heavyweight 90bpm boom bap business. Certified dancefloor fire, cementing the duo’s status as some of the UK’s dopest talent out there right now.”
William Florelle – Two & Three
Label: WotNot
Via WotNot “…highly swung, left-field R&B, with jazz and afro-beat influences. Think 22a with more pronounced R&B flavours…”
