Lyrics:


Through the fire I remain I was good tho/
Blueprint green paved the way still good tho/
Lost a few folks on the way they couldn't keep up/
Try to cover your face Ima make sure you see us/
Prayed for me shoulda stayed on me/
Blood suckers turned me into Blade homie/
I see we don't play the same not taught from the same law/
I speak in code to unfold what my brain saw/
Just face it I made it past the basics/
Fuck humble lets rumble not complacent with the matrix/
Student of the Blueprint/
Bobby brown every little step video stand by my words true shit/

(Its the same ol song and dance/
It's the same ol...)

There's a time for nirvana/
But not now I'm in the drama chasing commas/
Money and power make her come[cum]/
Until I have that I can can only get some...I want they whole thing/
Kit kabootle my masterpiece it was just a doodle/
Point a and b I'm past a nigga sauce and noodles/
Cleanse my soul I hope He come before the reaper see us/
Ascend high heart beats beneath us but now I'm here.../

http://potholesmusic.bandcamp.com/releases

Back in 1931 in Clarksdale, Miss., one of the most influential soul/R&B artists was born. And had he not been shot and killed some 33 years later, Sam Cooke would be celebrating his 72nd birthday today, Jan. 22. The smoky voiced singer-songwriter paved the way for everyone from Otis Redding to Al Green to Aretha Franklin, all of whom cited Cooke as a major inspiration for their sound and style.

To honor the life and music of the King of Soul, we reached out to some of our favorite producers to pay homage to his legacy on our latest instrumental compilation. Ain’t That Good News: A Tribute to Sam Cooke partially shares the name of Cooke’s final studio album, which houses his most powerful and important song of all, “A Change Is Gonna Come”. I can personally remember that track hitting me like a ton—nay, 10 tons—of bricks when I first heard it as a teenager. While I could never understand the pain and tragedy he experienced, Cooke’s longing vocals and resonating words struck me to the core.

We’ve presented a slew of instrumental compilations in the past, including the autumnal Robot Soup last October, but Ain’t That Good News is our most poignant to date. It features the likes of Scoop DeVille and Two Fresh reinterpreting prisoner anthem “Chain Gang” while Phil A and Poptartpete deliver beautifully constructed pieces derived from interview clips. Elsewhere, ILLINGSWORTH and IMAKEMADBEATS provide piano-laced bursts of caffeine and Swarvy takes “Mean Old World” to another dimension.

3 months after his Soulection release PYOP, Michigan native, Waldo has this freebie for us all. Sango first mentioned Waldo to us and told us that this dude was the truth. Of course we took his word, and months later he dropped Pick Your Own Poison, which was one of our most downloaded releases to date! 

"SFTB", produced by Mike Zombe & Sango, is Waldo's rendition of Drake's, "Started From the Bottom" and our whole team is on the same mentality these days. This WILL be the anthem.  Don't sleep on WALDO, and check out his previous release here :: http://soulection.bandcamp.com/album/pick-your-own-poison

"The Social Network" is a creative track that was inspired by the creative genius of GZA. 

GZA cleverness definitely inspires me. "Fame", "Animals", "Labels", and "Publicity" are creative concepts that expanded my mind beyond rhyming about my emcee skills, being saved, etc. 

I decided to attack the concept of building a song that includes various Social Networks. I did some research and compiled a list of Social Network sites and went to the work. 

I sat on the beat for awhile before coming up with the concept and I am thankful for having the opportunity to finally complete a track with @SoulChefMusic. The homie @Dj-Grazzhoppa blew me away with the scratches that he provided for the track. 

If you like this song please share it with your family, friends, foes, etc. 

Thank You, 
Patrick

"When I grow up, I wanna be like Omar" - Stevie Wonder

There are precious few, if any contemporary UK artists whose creative credentials and influence extend as far and so consistently wide as Freestyle Records' most recent signing Omar. Since first breaking through to worldwide renown all the way back in 1991 with his first releases on Gilles Peterson's seminal Talkin' Loud label, and since going on to work with all manner of musical legends including a certain Stevie Wonder, Erykah Badu, Angie Stone, Syreeta Wright, Common, and Carleen Anderson.

Omar returns with a brand new album that many say is without doubt the strongest of his entire career. The buzz generated by the single release of the album's title track, The Man, confirmed beyond doubt that Omar is very much at the top of his game, with everyone from BBC 6 Music's Gilles Peterson, BBC Radio 2's Trevor Nelson and Jamie Cullum giving both major support and high praise for the simply magnificent new high point for Omar's renowned ability to write devastatingly catchy melodies.

Across the rest of this new album, opener Simplify sets the template, with its luscious and majestic string backed introduction raising the curtain on this deep, hard grooving number. Omar also joins forces with Germany's Hidden Jazz Quartett on High Heels - growling organ spars with the tough, jagged drumbeat on this tough, funk driven collaboration. Elsewhere, latin textures and rhythms have always been part of Omar's far reaching musical vocabulary, and on Come On Speak To Me and Ordinary Day restless south American beats underpin the crisp and fresh melodies.

Soul II Soul's Caron Wheeler offers her distinctive voice on the duet Treat You, allowing these two legendary voices to unite beautifully. Completing the circle that began all the way back in the early 1990s, Omar has re-recorded his classic love song There's Nothing Like This, which this time features bass player to the Gods Pino Palladino. The touching sentiment remains undiminished, but the addition of soaring strings, soulful, jazzy horns, a vibrant live and acoustic feel, plus an extended and new arrangement.

This album will surely become known as the most eclectic, confident, mature and soulful album of his career. After all, Stevie Wonder knows, Erykah Badu knows... and now everyone knows; Omar is The Man.
