BJ The Chicago Kid - Pineapple Now-Laters [Album Review]

BJ The Chicago Kid: Listen. Twitter. iTunes.

I purposefully took extra time to synthesize and produce the write up for this album. I wanted to ensure that that the caliber of work that your about to read only did the album as much justice as possible before you, my good people reading this, would listen to this incredible album for yourself. Funny thing about this album was it's timing; I remember standing outside the KPFK radio station after our "Love Chords" broadcast talking with Glockz and Microphone about the downfall of R&B and Soul like it was the fall of the Byzantine empire. We reminisced on "old school" tracks and artisits like, Tevin Campbell's "Can We Talk," New Edition, and Mint Condition. We talked about the lack of musicianship and quality contributions in recent R&B and Soul. With the anticipated and triumphant return of artist D'angelo to the music scene we all agreed and expect that great R&B and Soul will make a return as soon as D'angelo begins producing new music. But with the release of BJ The Chicago Kid's "Pinapple Now-Laters" album, it looks like we won't have to wait on D'angelo to bring the R&B and Soul back to it's glory days.

Rest In Peace - Alori Joh 1985-2012

Rest In Peace - Alori Joh 1985-2012
Being a Carson California native and having a huge appreciation for Top Dawg Entertainment artists such as Kendrick Lamar, Jay Rock, Ab Soul and Schoolboy Q , news of this artists passing hit close to home. Loriana Johnson, better known as "Alori Joh" passed away earlier this week between February 7 and February 8. Alori Joh was a Top Dawg Entertainment affiliate and vocalist. Her gift has been featured on many TDE productions such as Kendrick Lamar's "Heaven and Hell" from his "Overly Dedicated" album, Schoolboy Q's "Phenomenon" from his "Setbacks" album and various Ab Soul tracks such as "Euphoria" and "The Sound." Her voice was both melodic and hard hitting. Her prowess as a vocalist emanated through the music, blending her voice seamlessly into a track something that most up and coming artist could never execute as skillfully as she did. A talented young artist who shared her gift with the world. Allow me to take a moment to say thank you to one of God's newest angels.
