Yuk jamie isaacs and the lank slacks

Listening to this...

Yuk jamie isaacs and the lank slacks by djjdsports

I think Jamie Issacs (one to watch) and DJ JD Sports (Also another one to watch, but is already making his mark on the scene - as well as my heart! Shh!) made this together!
I am really looking forward to the new album that Mr DJ JD Sports will be releasing soon, well next year!

King Krule is back with a vengeance!

I feel slightly embarrassed saying this (and rightly so), I didn't realise that King Krule had soundcloud, or if I did - I never bothered following him. And now like an empty glassing filling up with water the regret starts to fill me.

King Krule said on his facebook that he's "back with a vengance!" (obviously we all know what he meant). Now, I don't know if its genuinely his account but he then posted on a different account a couple of days later the song that I'm about to post.

I think its amazing. He has the right merge of all the correct instruments, vocally its perfect for the tune and just his general amazingness.

I absolutely love this, and I love him! I'm just waiting for an album!

Mr Boykins exclaims that he's a 'Restless Dreamer'

As everyone knows, I'm a fan of the amazing Jesse Boykins III, he has just released another track on Soundcloud.

Give it a listen, and tell me what you think.

Restless Dreamer [King re.fix] by Jesse Boykins III

It reminds me of old school RNB and slow tunes. Its so good! However, he's put it under the genre 'world soul'.

Jesse Boykins III

An independent artist. Singer songwriter. Born in Chicago. Spent most of his childhood in the Caribbean. Style icon inspired by the 30’s, 40’s and 50’s.

Jesse Boykins III (JB3), the 27 year old singer songwriter spent his childhood in Jamaica and Miami where he discovered his talent, and enjoyment for hearing different sounds. The Chicago born musician, then moved to New York City to spend his teenage years. Clearly inspired by each environment, JB3 is influenced musically by all types of genres. JB3 has been known to not specify what genre he creates, but always aims for it to be something the audience can connect to.

His first EP came out in early 2008 and was called ‘Dopamine: My Life On My Back’, and has a very D’Angelo inspired feel to it. This heartfelt EP, reveals some personal and soul touching feelings. He then went on to create ‘The Beauty Created’ album released in the latter part of 2008, where he worked with producers such as afta – 1 and Steve Wyreman (who has worked with the likes of American Artist, Common). Then JB3 went on to release another EP in 2011 called ‘Way Of A Wayfarer’ with a slightly different feel to previous releases. As a listener it was like he had evolved, and found a new way to still be true to himself and his music, but the sound and style was a little different.

Recently, Jesse Boykins III has paired up with MeLo-X, to craft ‘Zulu Guru’. Rooted in soul music, Jesse Boykins and MeLo-X have brought what they know to the hip hop and R&B table. Released on a British independent record label, Ninja Tune (Zulu Guru will be released on the 15^th of October) the boys will certainly take the UK by storm!

His aim as an artist is to be remembered and spoken about, when he is no longer creating music. And I think that this deep rooted artist has already made a nice footprint on us with his heart driven music!
