MUSICAL INTERLUDE: Sneak Peak of Old School Night!

I don’t know where you were Monday night, but the BKBOYEEZ were definitely at Wingate Park catchin’ the show and seeing the sights. Shutting down the 4th show of the Martin Luther King, Jr. Concert Series was Slick Rick, Naughty by Nature and Salt-N-Pepa. They rocked the mic to a crowd of Old School Heads, Retro Kids, Grown Folk, Hood Dudes & Tourists who recited words to all the classics- like “O.P.P.” and “Let’s Talk About Sex”. And the crowd went wild for special guest- Busta Rhymes, who blessed us with one of his hit songs: ”If You Really Wanna Party With Me”. It was a dope concert reminding me that HIP HOP AIN’T DEAD! If you missed it, check this out.

Love Maxwell?

Maxwell: BLACKsummers'night in stores now!

…I don’t hate the brotha, but I can honestly say I’m a bit envious of him. A “good” envious though! He’s just so suave (…that’s that Brooklyn swag- we BK Boyeez perfected), and over the years he has made a special home in the hearts of women worldwide that I’d love to fill too- that’s all! You can’t knock a brotha for that, now can you? ImJusSayin! But Ladies, do I have a surprise for you! Maxwell, (better known as, “your boyfriend/husband in your head”) has dropped his fourth studio album today entitled, BLACKsummers’night. According to a statement made on his MySpace page, this album is the first installment of a musical trilogy he plans on releasing over the next 2 years. With hit single, “Pretty Wings” dominating the airways leaving women everywhere in a frenzy, I have no doubt this particular album will be as successful as his others. Maxwell has been bringing us that effortless “grown & sexy” neo-Soul sound ever since the late ’90s, and he’s obviously continuing his career in the same fashion. I don’t blame him! If the ladies like it, I LOVE it! Definitely swing by the recordstore sometime this week and cop his album! Also, be on the lookout for the subsequent chapters of the anticipated trilogy: blackSUMMERS’night & blacksummers’NIGHT scheduled for release in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

Love Birthday Sex?

Jeremih: JEREMIH in stores now!

…Well your man Jeremih’s self-titled debut album with hit baby-making single “Birthday Sex” is out and in stores today. This young R&B crooner fresh out of Chi-Town has mastered the piano, drums, saxophone and apparently “Birthday Sex” over the years. Signed to Island Def Jam Records, his single peaked at Number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100 and after watching his first televised performance at the annual pre-show of this year’s BET Music Awards I realized the kid can actually sing. Call me a pessimist, but I question the vocal ability of any and every new artist since the industry has been stuck on that synthesized & overprocessed signature sound T-Pain can’t seem to live without. Nevertheless, Jeremih passed the “does he sound good LIVE?” test, and I don’t know about you- but I can’t get his song out of my head. We’ll see what the future holds for Jeremih, but in the meantime- go cop his album!

NEW Poe Picasso: “Swag Surfin’ (Brooklyn Remix)”

Yo! Check out the new track from our Boyee- Poe Picasso. Tell us if y’all feelin’ it Brooklyn…

Pop!

Black Eye Peas: The E.N.D. in stores now.

Love Pop?
…Well Black Eye Peas is back with their fifth studio album, The E.N.D. (”The Energy Never Dies”), and I can’t wait to get my hands on it. Whenever will.i.am, apl.de.ap, Taboo, and Fergie get together, they create something innovative & uncomparable to anything else in the industry. They’ve found their niche and have definitely stuck to it over the years. Their hit single, “Boom Boom Pow” is definitely a favorite of mine; it has that heavy techno-funk beat that just gets under you. It has also been rumored that the rest of the album follows the same treatment- not the Hip Hop/R&B sounds we’re used to. Check out this LIVE video of Black Eye Peas…

Rockin’ to ROCK!

It’s music release Tuesday and in a few days, Virgin Megastore in Union Square will be closing its doors forever, all CDs and DVDs are 40% off and guess what? I’m dumb BROKE! Here’s the one album I was going in there to get. It’s waaay different from the genres I normally write about, but I love the Dave Matthews Band. I haven’t heard this album yet, but I’m sure it’ll be just a great as the others. Get into them!

It’s a RAP!

I wasn’t too impressed by the selection of music being released this week. No sweat for me though as that’s more money in my pocket to be spend elsewhere. But here’s a well-anticipated album that was recently released that I forgot to feature and am sure you’ll enjoy.

Method Man & Redman: Blackout! 2 in stores now.

Love Rap?
…Well Hip-Hop’s livest duo Red & Meth have been in the studio brewing up another dose of antics for us patiently waiting fans. More mature, well-seasoned, and ready to put it down on their anticipated sophomore album together since ‘99- Blackout! 2, I pray Method Man & Redman haven’t abandoned their carefree, old school personas I’ve grown to love. But with singles like- “A Yo” and “Mrs. International” showcasing their “old school” flows on “new school” beats and new age studio sounds- it’s bound to be another classic! In my opinion, one that’s definitely 10 years overdue.

It’s a RAP!

Busta Rhymes: Back On My B.S. in stores now!

We’ve got two HEAVY HITTERS in the world of Rap bringing us new albums today. One emcee is a Brooklyn-born, Grammy-nominated, well-seasoned and well-respected artists who we’ve been following since Leaders of the New School and the other is a Grammy & Academy-award winning, lyrical emcee who blew us away with his emphatic prose on his debut, The Slim Shady LP in 1999. Word on the street is that Busta Rhymes has released his eighth studio album, Back On My B.S. and Eminem has released his sixth studio album, Relapse. We’ve been waiting for another explosive Busta album ever since he dropped The Big Bang in ‘06, and you better believe, club-hit “Arab Money” definitely intensified the urgency. Eminem, on the other hand, has been out of the limelight since 2004 so you know we’ve been feinin’ for him too (no homo!) These are two gifted emcees, and we’re not expecting anything less than the best from them both! We gotta go out and cop these, and you should too.

Eminem: Relapse in stores now!

FEATURED MUSIC ARTIST: U.R.I. (Under the Rasta Influence) Pt. 3

We’re on our final day with reggae band, U.R.I. and trust me- we’re still under the influence. We’ve searched the net far and wide listening to their music, watching their concerts and we’ve all come to the same conclusion: where’s the album? I mean c’mon… we’re ready and they definitely are too. As you can see, we support this band 100% and can’t wait for the right people to pick up on them too. Be on the look out for U.R.I.- they’ll probably be visiting a city near you as they recently played at the famed S.O.B.’s in lower Manhattan. Guess who got their hands on some footage? Be certain to check them out on our Blogroll, too (just in case you need a quick reference).

We wish all of the members of U.R.I. success in all of their efforts. Keep doing you what you & don’t change anything! Shout to: their Manager, Stephen Gold (now that’s a cool dude) and the band- Russ, Tim, Sean, DZA, Tay, Whitney and our Boyee, Don.
