Back for More

i follow her on twitter cuz shes cute and kinda funny. 1st time hearing her music. *shrug*

"DJ Jazzy Jeff, along with contributions from well-known producers James Poyser, Pete Kuzma and Démien DeSandies, has created an experience that music lovers have long awaited. Yet, those not as well versed in the genre will appreciate these soulful treats just the same. We are already familiar with the success of Jeff’s past work with heavy-hitters Jill Scott, Musiq Soulchild and Floetry. And his work with the Toronto songbird, Ayah, will be no exception.

Ayah, who is a success in her own right, has already garnered a grass roots fan base of her own with the release of her last two projects, Problem Woman and 4:15. And her most recent release of the When it Comes to You single and short film is continuing to make headway. Having worked with respected MCs like Freeway, Mac Miller, Elzhi and Skyzoo, Ayah is no stranger to hip-hop either. This makes Jeff’s jazzy production and classic hip-hop sound the perfect compliment for Ayah’s full and melodic vocals.

With Back for More, fans should expect nothing less than greatness from soul music’s hottest new collaborators. Notable tracks on the project include the soulful tune, Make It Last and title track, Back for More, with its feel good party vibe. Listeners will also witness Ayah’s versatility in the already popular single, Notorious. Ayah unveils her inner b-girl and lyrical flair in this hip-hop banger. Back for More also features appearances from Sugar Tongue Slim (STS) and Toronto’s own Tona."

Elmatic (review)

"The other day I was in one of my infamous hip hop debates in the barber shop (I get a shape up every three days so I’m in there a lot) and today’s discussion was about was Snoop’s “Doggystyle" album a 5 mic classic. Most people didn’t t think it was, but I gave it a 4.5… a GREAT album but not a classic and one of the reasons is because of Snoop remaking Slick Rick and Doug E. Fresh’s hip hop classic “La Di Da Di.” When I heard that song for the first time in my man Bill’s whip I was in hip hop disgust! Who remakes a hip hop song? ESPECIALLY a classic! Who does that? That’s sacrilegious! Which turned into another debate about why is that frowned upon in hip hop? With any other genre of music, there are remakes, some are good (see Luther’s version of “A House Is Not A Home”) and some are bad (see Omarion remaking Aaliyah’s “One in A Million”) but nobody stones you for doing that. And my response was and will always be that hip hop is more than just a genre of music, it’s a culture with music being just one of the four components. No one cares if Beyonce does her own choreography or if Taylor Swift writes her own songs but what if we found out Rakim or Nas NEVER wrote any of their verses or if the Rock Steady Crew never came up with any of their own moves?!?! The hip hop world would be in disarray! Like Kris said 'rap is something you do, hip hop is something you live.'

So when my man Allen told me his favorite mc Elzhi was going to remake Nas’ hip hop classic “Illmatic” and call it “Elmatic” I was like why? I mean seriously….why? What’s the point? To pay homage to Nas? Than do a song with him. To put the younger generation onto it? To be honest, I would assume Nas and Elzhi kinda have the same audience for the most part. In fact I would think Nas’ audience may be just a little bigger than Elzhi’s and Nas wouldn’t need his help schooling the youth on “Illmatic.” But it is what it is and “Elmatic” is dropping and truth be told, I didn’t wanna have anything to do with it."
