Welcome to #theSOLOshow

Brown Sugar Pt. 1

For over 45 years , the Quiet Storm radio format has been one of the most recognizable institutions in black music.
It’s something that black communities can identify both sonically and culturally. Whether it be the jazz-influenced ballads, lush love songs, or smooth voices from its DJs, whenever the sun sets, we know that the Quiet Storm is approaching.
I wanted to celebrate Valentine’s Day and Black History Month by honoring the Quiet Storm’s origin story, and that story begins in 1976 Washington D.C. with a Howard student named Melvin Lindsay. While standing in for a WHUR radio DJ one night, an inexperienced Lindsay filled the airwaves with slow jams from his record collection, immediately sparking a radio revolution. He dedicated his life to sharing what he called “beautiful black music” to the world. Although we lost Lindsay to the AIDS epidemic, his voice and his music has lived on ever since that night in 1976.
This all vinyl mix is a collection/curation of love songs Linsday played himself in the Quiet Storm’s early years as well as songs from my family’s collection that I’d thought to be a perfect fit.
Every single record is special to me, him, and his legacy and what better way to celebrate Valentine’s Day than by playing some of the most beautiful love songs I’ve ever heard.

Quiet Storm: an all-vinyl tribute to whur (70s + 80s R&B, love songs, and slow jams)

There are entirely too many classics to pretend like this is not the first of several to come. I feel like I hardly scratched the surface, but here's Vol. 1 of the upcoming series of mixes produced entirely by The Neptunes.

DJ OHSO's "South Got Somethin' To Say" Mix

"When Thugs Cry" is dedicated to all my Sensitive Thugs & Sad Bad Boys Worldwide. Not to be confused with your average Sad Boy, rather, he is a Tough Guy that doesn't normally go around boo-hoo'ing - but when he does open up...its trill.

I believe we are all constantly living in at least 1 of the, what I refer to as, The 6 Stages of Love: Yearning, Infatuation, Falling, Deepening, Heartbreak & Longing. This mixtape focuses on those stages from the perspective of the beloved Brute.

OVO SOUND RADIO Episode 30 (Dirty) - Nineteen85 Mix

January 16th is the birthday of Sade, Kate Moss, Aaliyah & FKA Twigs. In honor of these influential and iconic Capricorn women, I wanted to celebrate their lives through a special mix created by me.

Simply titled, #ONE16GOAT, for the animal associated with Capricorn, but also for the acronym "the greatest of all time" in reference to the goddesses born on January 16th.

Happy #ONE16GOAT Day, from your favorite Taurus! - Va$htie

ONE16GOAT

Going to Soulquarius in SoCal this Saturday and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to make a mix bc the lineup is just too stacked. This one features a song by every artist that'll be performing. To name some - Pretty Ricky, Ja Rule, Ashanti, SOSUPERSAM, Too $hort, Eric Bellinger, Brandy, and Erykah Badu.

When I think of the 2000s era of R&B, I immediately think of how thugged out dudes in oversized clothing talked to their shawties on the phone in like almost every music video, so tried to give the intro that nostalgic feel. Shout out if you know which music video the intro is from! Enjoy :)

Check out the lineup: https://bit.ly/2C0bjod (missing 24Hrs)

$OULQUARIU$

Had about 30% of these songs in my head the last couple days, so I threw them together. Really happy with the result. 

Weather definitely cooled down which means hearts are warming up. Send this to that person you didn't get to link with this Summer, second chance, second chance, word to them Buckhead girls on Luda's album. 

Love is love. Enjoy.
