Para One- "Passion" [New Album + Music Video]

Para One | Facebook | Soundcloud

So much respect for Para One's newest album "Passion". I say this because this album is the reason why we should appreciate different genres of Electronic Music. Every track on this album has its own unique sound. The track "When The Sound" has that disco, neo funk, techno feel to it, while the track " Lean On Me" has that 80s retro sound. So that saying explore the sounds of Para One and Enjoy!.

Frank Nitt [Feature Interview]

Detroit’s Frank Nitt has seen it all, more so than your average ‘keep it real’ MC. He has seen the meteoric rise and untimely death of friend, collaborator and certified hip hop legend J Dilla. He eye-witnessed Common record a platinum album, and Black Thought free-styling in a strip club parking lot. And he now chronicles his first hand experiences in the 48 page memoir The View from the Underground, which comes included in this brand new deluxe casebook edition album, Stadium Music. As Frank Nit puts it; ‘All of my travel, all of my musical influences, and all of my relationships… I talk about love on there, and hardship. I talk about just wanting to be a dope MC.‘ The album features beats and rhymes by Illa J, Que D, Dank, Kid Sublime, Kevin Cofield, Numbe:ra and others, plus a foreword by his personal acquaintance and adult film star Tara Lynn Foxx.” We chat with Frank to get the low down on Stadium Music and everything else Frank Nitt related.
Dank Radio: Can you give us a brief background about yourself, history of Frank N Dank, and how you hooked up with J D?

Frank Nitt: I've been putting out hip hop since 1998/99 as a member of FnD [Frank N Dank] and I began my solo career in 2008, I actually met dilla in 1986, we went to middle school together, so the music side just grew from that.. it wasnt a, I met a producer and we became friends, my friend became a producer!

The Ting Tings - Soul Killing [New Single + Album Pre Order + Tour Dates]

The Ting Tings : Official | Facebook | Pre Order Sounds From Nowheresville here

Don't think I've ever heard a pop song that had it's base structure a creak of a squeaky screen door. That would have to be a first for me. The Ting Ting's Soul Killing just has a feel good summer party vibe to it. It has the "I can bob my head as I drive down Pacific Coast Highway" beat. With lyrics speaking against youthful and expressive restraint from a big and/or small city this song just screams radio single. Not that being a radio single track is necessarily a bad thing. Sometimes you need a 3 min catchy pop tune to cleanse your pallet from those 6+ min dance tunes or those 9+ min orchestral arrangements.
