SOUNDNEXX KAMAAL KOLLABOS MIXX!
One of my favorite artist in this fickle game we call the "MUSIC BUSINESS" is the emcee/producer Jonathan Davis a.k.a. Kamaal Ibn John Fareed a.k.a. The Abstract b.k.a. Q-Tip! This pioneer is not only the frontman from one of my favorite hip-hop groups A Tribe Called Quest, but he is a chameleon in the game that has remained relevant over two decades. His impact on hip-hp and music as a whole is unpresidented. Q-Tip has written, produced and shared the stage with so many artists over the years, I'm sure he can't remember them all. His musical archives are FULL of classics that even your grandmother probably knows and loves.

This mixx is dedicated my man Kamaal. I compiled some of my favorite Q-Tip collaboration tracks. I dug deep in my archives for most of these songs and it was nice hearing these forgotten tracks again! Now, it's your turn to put ears on this joint and let the head-bobbing begin...

SOUNDNEXX MOTORCITY MADNEZZ MIXX!
Periodically, I like to make mixx compilations that showcase singers, rappers and producers from the Detroit Metropolitan area a.k.a "The Motor City". I'd describe the musical sound from this particular midwest location as raw, aggressive, diverse and soulful. Eminem, Aretha Franklin, Kid Rock, Anita Baker, Dwele and Kem are only a few of the names you should know that's representing Detroit music. There are plenty others and I will be sharing some of their music in this mixx. Most of these artists are Indie/Underground, which seems to be where the dopest artists hang out in 2012! So, listen, check for the artists you like, and support quality music...
