Tracks You May Have Missed

Things you do. For this week’s throwback Thursday track, we’re taking it back to the summer of 2000. The track “Fall In Love” from Detroit’s Slum Village is one that really captures the hip hop and neo soul groove perfectly; courtesy of Jay Dee (J Dilla) who produced the head-knocker. The song comes from the groups 2000 release “Fantastic Volume…

Jodeci back! This past weekend Drake and his October’s Very Own crew hosted the Fifth Annual OVO Fest. As per usual, there were a slew of guest appearances on Day 2 with the legendary duo Outkast, headlining a historic Day 1. For this week’s Throwback Thursday we’re bringing back one of the hottest tracks from last summer. Prior to dropping…

“This is anti Auto-Tune, death of the ringtone/This ain’t for iTunes, this ain’t for sing alongs”. When Jay Z dropped “D.O.A.” in 2009 it made some serious waves. Having the biggest figure in the game denounce one of the most popular trends is sure to turn heads. As a huge hater of Auto-Tune, I was ecstatic with the release, but felt…

It’s about to go down! As I was thinking about what track we would use for this week’s #tbt, I kept going back to the late 90’s era of rap. I reached out a ClassyVlassy to find out what he thought would be good. He mentioned a Jay track from the DJ Clue Professional series. I thought about it for a…

This week we’re going back to a Trap classic from Bro Safari & UFO! titled ‘2012’. Unsurprisingly the song came out in 2012 and was one of the heaviest bangers of the year. It served as my personal de facto standard track to introduce friends to trap. It was originally slated for Bro Safari & UFO!’s ‘Animal’ album but it was released early…

Hearing Every Rhyme. For this week’s throwback we take you back to the Chi-town streets in ’94. Common, or better known as Common Sense back then, dropped I Used to Love H.E.R. off of his sophomore effort entitled “Resurrection”. The album was entirely produced by No I.D. and I Used to Love H.E.R. has a really smooth beat. In regular 90’s…

With the 4th of July holiday less than a day away, I thought it was only right that this week’s #tbt – Tracks You May Have Missed be none other than Kelis – ‘4th Of July’ (Calvin Harris Remix). Released back in the summer of 2010, this is a warm weather classic. Adding a fair bit of groove behind the vocals, the…

  One for the treble, two for the bass. For this week’s throwback we’re bringing you a track that flew well under the radar even though it was intended to be a radio smash. This track dates back to the year 2000 before Mos Def adopted the alias and persona of Yasiin Bey. The track features the late Nate Dogg and Pharoahe…

Earlier this week J. Cole celebrated the 5 year anniversary of  his classic mixtape The Warm Up. Keeping that in mind we decided that it’s only right for this week’s Throwback Thursday to be a track from Cole from around the same time. After much thought we decided to go with ‘Good Game’.  The track dropped prior to The Warm Up and…

It’s Thursday and this week we’re taking it back to 2012 for a certified Trap classic. The song is ‘So Fly’ by Huglife (Dj Slink at the time). I wasn’t aware that he had changed his name and lost sight of the talented producer for quite some time. For a detailed breakdown of the name change check out the interview…
