The better question might be, "Who the fuck is Jay Electronica ?". A good answer might be, "The savior of hip-hop!". To this day there isn't to much known about the rapper/producer. Jay is compared by many to be the next Nas and has also been referred to as a "rap Jack Kerouac" due to his nomadic experience. He has unofficially released a bunch of weird projects/mix-tapes...

Yes, I know: worst name ever. Fat shout to Young Horrorcore , the Ghettotech Boys , and Lil' Chillwave . This is the song that's had rap geeks all atwitter since it's producer (the genius Just Blaze ) dropped it on Shade 45 back in October; the radio rip of that debut invaded media devices the world over until the CDQ version finally made it to Itunes . I was definitely on the fence about this guy...

While most folks know R&B/soul singer Billy Stewart for his blistering 1996 Top 10 hit - a cover of "Summertime" - he wasn't a one trick pony. He scored several top R&B & pop hits including "I Do Love You." This weekend, I was listening to my main man Pots & Pans, The Boss With The Hot Sauce, The Geator With The Heator and sure nuff he busted out this Billy Stewart...

On most of the "various artist" CD's, you find songs that you already have in your collection. This CD is different, it has music being performed by known artists, but the song selection is usually different than what you already have in your colletion. I highly recommend this CD as a strong addition to what you already own. If you are new to the blues, this would be an excellent start to...
