PARKWAYS DRIVES & BAYSHORES

Bout to smash down outta town for tha J-Boogie wedding [insert sound of female hearts breaking everywhere] but wanted to post a couple tracks i been feelin' tha past couple days.

First off, tha GROOM has a new LP finna drop and its dope -- tha ususal Dubtronic Science steez of dubbed out soul and bedroom fonk, with a gang of new elements that make it one of tha best soul records i've heard in a minute. Tha new record is called "Soul Vibrations" and it officialy drops September 23 (JUST in time for summer here in SF) and i recommend you get yo ass up on it!! Straight heat from front 2 back. Here's an appetizer....

J-Boogie's Dubtronic Science feat. Baba Zumbi & Rithma, "For Your Love"

=================================


On Tuesday @ PST my dude Matthew Africa [who has a gold name plate that says....yeah, you guessed it] passed me a CD in tha way he do -- all casual, nonchalant, wearing somethin' tailored, sippin on shit i can't pronounce -- and was like "peep this." Its tha new Bronx River Parkway record which was done with Pablo and tha Candela All-Stars and this schitt is HEAT!! No surprise there, cuz for REAL for real, M.A. be knowin HELLA music. And hella tort law. This LP is out on tha mighty Truth & Soul imprint and its ESSENTIAL summer slappage. Get it in yo life people.

Not to be confused with tha seminal Harlem River Drive project [doh!] de Palmieri Tha LP runs tha gamut from slow rolling funk to boogaloo to straight up bomba y plena. Yall know i'm personally partial to clave and guaguanco so here's my standout selection:

Bronx River Parkway, "La Valle"

Check out Matthew Africa's blog and definitely check for my dude J-Boogie in a city near you this Summer/Fall....and cop tha new LP on September 23!!!!!
