The Lost Remnants of Tone Trezure

Tone Trezure is a force to be reckoned with, and soon the world will know it. From writing, producing & collaborating with some of the best in the hiphop & soul game over & underground including Snoop Dogg, Rick Ross, Pharoahe Monch, Xzibit, Little Brother, Erykah Badu & Bilal (whom vocally she's constantly compared to) she's hard at work on new material for her HIGHLY ANTICIPATED debut album. In the process she released an EP back in the summer & now these 7 songs from her production vault. 

"this was an era in my life when I was really getting into my own and just wanting to be heard so I wrote about everything. This was a wonderful growing period in my opening up more to the Hip-hop and soul side of R&B"

Laetitia Sadier "The Trip"

After 20 years of being the lead singer of the electro pop giants Stereolab & also the side band Monade, Laetitia Sadier finally steps out on her own with this solo debut. "The Trip" is not a far cry from her work with Stereolab. Still has that whimsical jazzy erotica pop feel but more stripped down putting her lyrics at the forefront adding just a hint of folk into the mix. One of the most consistent albums this year. Being that I'm a Stereolab fan, I can breathe a little easier at the news of the band going on a hiatus indefinitely, as long as Laetitia is creating albums like this. Listen to the opening track & go to your local retailers, Amazon & iTunes to purchase the complete album.

Proh Mic "Catch A Pisces"

A few weeks ago I posted the 1st leak from an upcoming project for producer, musician, mc Proh Mic which was the start of a Free Download A Month PROHmotion building up to his stunning album releasing in February on the All Natural Inc label. "Catch A Pisces" is the full length from which that track appears & is now available as the next FREE DOWNLOAD. The album is so BANGIN', I can't believe he chose to give it away. It features him in his raw essence with killer lyrics & beats mostly produced himself except for 2 tunes produced by veteran producer Vitamin D. Take a listen to the track "Life" featuring my homie MC Adad of Eulorhythmics & get the download of the album below.
