    Exclusive Release: ‘Sonic Boom Vol. 3′ (Compiled by Maiya Norton)

    March 14th, 2013

     

    Super excited about this new Sonic Boom Vol. 3 that our lady Maiya Norton has masterfully compiled for us this month. It includes some of our favorite jams from the last couple months, including a nice dose of music unlikely on folks' radars.

    The buzz building Denitia and Sene are featured, the venerable Shafiq Husayn shares some love, Wondaland's newest artist Roman Gianarthur contributes his latest single, and MED's much loved "Burgundy Whip" with Blu and Jimetta Rose is yet another treat on this free release.

    Then we've got artists like Ikaz doing a ridiculous flip of Frank Ocean's "Pyramids," Philly producer Aeon going in on the sultry Sade sampled "GoodbyeLove," and LIPS gives a totally huggable performance covering Frank Ocean's "Super Rich Kids."

    Seravince, Stacy Epps, and Moonchild round out the offering with their sexy mood music, and Josiah Wise closes out Sonic Boom a la the echoey and layered modern chorus in "Gifts for Shitenno."

    Video: Azekel – “That Feeling”

    March 1st, 2013

    Tingling low-key vibes on this Azekel song and video for "The Feeling." The moodiness falls somewhat in line with Frank Ocean and Jesse Boykins III - homeboy is really taking us somewhere.

    Thanks to BamaLoveSoul for this one.

    New Track: Frank Ocean – “Eyes Like Sky”

    February 25th, 2013

     

    Frank Ocean this weekend dropped an unreleased track called "Eyes Like Sky." Initially intended for Channel Orange, the song is easy on the ears and would work quite well on a soundtrack.

    One of our favorite Frank Ocean tracks from Channel Orange gets the Outkast remix treatment. In addition to Andre 3000's oft quoted verse on "Pink Matter," Big Boi adds his own saucy contribution also on some tantalizing fast-rap steez. Hit play below and get caught up.

    New Track: Frank Ocean – “Wiseman”

    December 23rd, 2012

     

    Frank Ocean yesterday dropped a new tune on his Tumblr called "Wiseman." According to The Fader, the song was originally intended for the upcoming Quentin Tarantino flick titled Django Unchained. The song unfortunately didn't seem to find a naturally fitting place in the film, however, and went unused on the soundtrack.

    Doesn't mean we can't enjoy it, though! Dig the sparse production with the lone guitar vibrato, too - actually adds intensity to the emotion.

    Stream "Wiseman" on Frank's Tumblr.
