Muhsinah - "Emergency" Acoustic Live

DC songstress Muhsinah is a real diamond in the rough. What she is able to hear and articulate musically shines even brighter than Moissanite though. She's incredibly gifted.

In this live footage from a recent show at Black Cat in Washington, D.C. Muhsinah gives us a brand new song she, of course, wrote and produced herself. This incredibly special performance gives me goosebumps every time I hear it! This was an encore performance at the last show of her first tour. The never before performed "Emergency" will be featured on her upcoming 'Gone: Deluxe' album shipping July 10th to fans who pre-ordered the album through her Kickstarter campaign.

I'm just going to get out of the way for this one. Muhsinah will take care of the rest. You're going to looooove this....

The lead single from Lianne La Havas' forthcoming EP of the same name just dropped and holy hell is it amazing! You will not soon "Forget" this lovely artist or this incredible song.

Tia London - "All That I Dreamed Of" Music Video

More fiyah! More fiyah!

Ok, I admit it. I'm entirely smitten with Tia London. Talent, drive and ambition; dopeness on a stick. Just released is the 3rd video single from her critically acclaimed "Love Junkie" EP titled "All That I Dreamed Of." This is Tia's love song to herself and her journey to/through stardom. Ups, downs, achievements, disappointments, pluses and minuses - Tia is all in.

The video is in black and white but this is quite the vivid dream. Super fly all around. Dig in....

P.S. Is that denim vest ridiculous or what?

T.L. Cross - "The World Soul EP" Vol. 1

Producer/Singer/Songwriter T.L. Cross is one of the best things shaking on the indie scene right now. You probably know him from "All Falls Down" with Jadakiss. That is probably the least relevant measure of his talent however. This guy has serious chops as a musician.

I've had the opportunity to see him perform live and believe me when I tell you that his show is off the chain. T.L. brings an energy from 90s R&B that is incredibly infectious. It doesn't sound like 90s R&B at all but there is a retro aura about the music. Maybe it's simply the fact that T.L. actually plays instruments and understands how to craft a full song with an intro, bridge, coda, etc.

The nearest comparison would be Ryan Leslie but T.L.'s work is much more "old soul". "The World Soul EP" is a fantastic showcase of T.L. Cross' abilities as a musician. From the uptempo "New York City Boy" to the downtempo of "How to Make Up", he shows his range as a vocalist, creativity as a producer and strength as a songwriter.

The project is available now on iTunes. Definitely support this wonderful independent artist and get the EP. You will not regret it. Click below to find T.L. on twitter and to preview the music on iTunes.
