ASTR has quickly become my favorite new musical duo. With R&B inspired melodies mixed with electronic grooves, it’s hard to believe that they won’t be an overnight and instant hit. Check out their debut song “Operate”. Let me know what you think!

That new new…

Check out TIGGA CALORES latest mix, THEOCRACY MIXX! It’s helping me burn calories at the gym as we speak and dance around my apartment as if I was Miss Leyomi Mizrahi!

Hahaha, if I could play DJ CLUE’S voice every time I announced something new (“New Sh*t…) I’d be gassed! Anyways, you may remember that I blogged about THAT WORK back in June 2011 and your girl is continuing to share all the new goodies that cross her path. Here is another single titled “Soul On Fire“. The video for the track will be releasing in about a week or so and I will definitely post it for you’s…yes I said you’s, because I love you’s.

Until I have a video to share. Check out the last THAT WORK video for the song “SECRET LOVER”. It’s the bomb diggity.

This mixtape is turning my frown upside down. It’s also turning my body upside down into a reggae dance handstand.

What?! Don’t judge me…it’s in my blood. Blame my Trinidadian Parents.

This brings me back to the Summer of 3rd grade, to a certain night when I made some interesting discoveries. I can remember it clearly. The front door was ajar to alleviate the Summer heat in our apartment and my mother had braided my hair into plaits to keep my neck cool. This was the night when I first heard a style of wild music playing on our living room stereo and I found my brother dancing in strange patterns. I ran out to the hallway to catch a better glimpse. My brother (8 years my senior), annoyed by my young presence, stopped altogether. I asked him “what are you doing?” He replied with a bit of cool upper-handedness and a lot of side eye, “voguing”. Eventually he resumed the dance and I stood there, watching in fascination. I was dying to know what music he was playing, but knew I had to play it just as cool so not to irk him more than he already was. Later, he removed his tape from the deck and played another one. I grabbed the tape and saw it was a recorded cassette. When I read the name I giggled in confusion. “HOUSE MIX?!”. My tender age could not understand why it was called “House”, but I was thoroughly intrigued and excited by it all. I had loads of questions, but limited myself to one. “Where did you get this?”. Mid dance, he uttered with ultimate ease as if I already should have known before opening my fetal mouth, “The City”. Even at that age, I said to myself “Of course!”

Without further ado, the mix that sparked that time travel tangen – “Lemme Holla At You Real Quick” by Tigga Calore aka Mr. Freshness

As posted on THE SMOKERS CLUB BLOG:

“the 1st song i wanted 2 release from #4evaNaDay is called Boobie Miles. Its about over coming all the obstacles that block your dreams, the sacrifices that come with how hard you have to go to obtain your goal, giving your all no matter what the situation, the only difference between a winner N a loser is a winner plays until he wins” – K.R.I.T.
