This is the video premiere of “Shot Me In the Heart”, by Adrian Younge and the Black Dynamite Sound Orchestra! Wax Poetics produced the video as part of the Converse 45 Series, where they package a limited 45RPM record with each issue of the magazine. Definitely a cool and nostalgic idea. That, together with the fact that this is an AMAZING song right here (as well as the production, instrumentation and overall musicianship), should be enough to have you all checking for more Adrian Younge and the Black Dynamite Sound Orchestra material. In fact, you should start here.
A nice little documentary series that Stussy is doing to commemorate the greatness that is James Yancey (aka J Dilla). This is just part 1 of a 3 part series so stay tuned for more.
Another Raphael Saadiq video…interestingly enough, I had no clue that there was a video for “100 Yard Dash” (which happens to be my favorite track on his latest record). Anyway, nice motion graphics here, very bold, but simple approach to the treatments. Check it out…and pay close attention to the lyrics, it’s a great song.
Happy B’day J Dilla! Gone but NEVER FORGOTTEN, your music will live on.

A little Saturday afternoon soul…vintage Raphael Saadiq with “Get Involved”. This is easily one of his dopest records right here, and he recorded it for a TV show soundtrack (Eddie Murphy’s “The P.J.’s”). Timeless music right here, can’t believe it’s 11 years old! Enjoy…
