Music We Love :: Silhouette Brown
Silhouette Brown is what happens when four great producers, songwriters & vocalists collaborate on a record and then bless us with a little tour. We’ve got Dego (4Hero, 2000Black), Kaidi Tatham (Agent K, DKD, Bugz in the Attic), Bembe Segue (MdCL, 2000Black) & Lady Alma (Sylk 130, 4Hero). With a line up like that, you’re bound to get the jazzy, soulful sound we’ve come to love along with the deep bass headnod that we can’t live without. Preview the record on the 2000Black site and make sure to check out the live shows during WMC (3.24-26) & in San Francisco (4.9), DC (4.11), New York (4.17) & Chicago (4.21).
Music We Love :: Ty, Special Kind of Fool
I first heard of Ty in the early aughts when he put out a dope broken beat single with his smart rhymes on Ubiquity Records. Soon after that his name would magically come up from different friends & colleagues. We met a few years back at WMC and since he’s kept me updated with all of his great collaborations & releases. This leads me to his new album, Special Kind of Fool which is coming out in late April. But don’t fret! The first single, Emotions, is out next week and it features Shaun Escoffery (whom I love) and Sarina Leah. It also boasts a healthy list of remixes by some of my favorite producers – Waajeed (PPP), Dego (4Hero) and Daz-I-Que (Bugz in the Attic). Listen to the album version of Emotions below & take a look at his EPK to learn more about the album straight from Ty’s mouth. If you like what you hear, let him know on Twitter.
