Description: recorded live on twitch.tv/selecta720 april 4 2025

Hip-Hop I grew up with you and loved you but feel out of it when things got to hardcore and MONEY ravaged and changed you for what you really were meant to be.... many forgot who you really are, the culture, the struggle, the entertainment but most of all, the REAL skill it took to tell us stories, messages regardless if it was real or fake.
Your so taken lightly that it has divided many and some have even claimed your death because you've gone un-noticed unless 1 REALLY DIGS DEEP TO FIND YOU... 

But i'm gonna try to tell the world you exist.. one volume at a time, because I miss you so much.

Luther Tribute-Never Too Much-Recorded Live On TWITCH-January 2 2025

Between 1997 and 2004, Philly was the hotspot for neo-soul music. I was in grad school at Temple University then and often visited this spot called The Five Spot, where every Tuesday, they had live performances from mostly local Philly artists. The cover was only $5, and for that, you would get to see artists like Jill Scott, Jaguar Wright, Kindred and the Family Soul, The Jazzyfatnastees, The Roots, and many others perform with local house bands. Those were some of the best years of my life. This mix features the type of musical vibes being played weekly. The set was called Black Lily because it showcased mostly Black female artists who were being shut out of jam sessions around the country then. Enjoy:)

CARIBBEAN OLD SKOOL SOULFUL CLASSIC DRUNKMIX LIVE - SHADE45

Drop It

"Raphael Saadiq is the Neo Soul and R&B producer, arranger and songwriter of a generation, yet criminally unsung. I simply wanted to shine a light on known, and some unknown, involvement of his in music over the years, from uptempo Soul of his own to his signature Two Step sound. 

Raphael's solo work needs no introduction, having redefined his sound over the years, remaining consistently current without loosing his era-defining, Soulaquarian-Neo-Soul feel. But his work with others artists is fascinating, linch-pinning so many killer R&B records whilst remaining forever background and humble.

There is a fascinating story told by Solange Knowles, of a misplaced Saadiq beat CD, which eventually lead to the makings, Grammy Award winning, Cranes In The Sky (Song Exploder, 2017). The Grammy captures Raphael’s nature perfectly, by not attending and opting out of the limelight. 

'I’ve been fortunate to work with both a Mick Jagger and a Kendrick Lamar, I’ve seen all sides. In terms of legacies, I just want people to look at the way I put music together and say he was a bad, bad man… But if they say nothing, I’m happy with that too.' (Raphael Saadiq, Hobbs / Quietus, 2017)

In an age of pop superstars and egos, it’s heartwarming seeing someone who’s intrinsic to the music we love, so down to earth. For the heads, there is an obvious exemption of any Ummah records, of which Raphael was an occasional member, however with exact individual involvement on each Ummah record such a grey area, that tribute mix alone is best saved for another time..."
