| [FIRST IMPRESSIONS] JPEGMAFIA-EP2! Posted: 12 Feb 2021 11:01 PM PST Been just over a day, how y'all feeling? Little bit disappointing to me after quite a few listens. It's not bad but doesn't really stand out all that much to me. Didn't quite meet my expectations after AMHAC.

| [DISCUSSION] 2Pac - All Eyez On Me (25 Years Later) Posted: 12 Feb 2021 03:09 PM PST On this day in 1993, 2Pac releases his fourth album and first for Death Row, All Eyez On Me. A few months after Suge Knight from Death Row and Jimmy Iovine from Interscope records bailed out 2Pac from jail, he recorded and released one of his most beloved albums, All Eyez On Me. Topping both the Billboard 200 and R&B Chart, the double CD was 2Pac's celebration to Thug Life. The diamond-celling epic album spawned two number one hit singles, the Grammy-nominated ''California Love,'' featuring Dr. Dre and Roger Troutman of Zapp and ''How Do You Want It?,'' featuring K-Ci & JoJo. Other hit singles on this classic set included ''2 of Amerikaz Most Wanted,'' (featuring Snoop Dogg), ''All About U,'' and ''I Ain't Mad At Cha''. Guests on the album included Tha Dogg Pound. Danny Boy, Michel'le, Rappin' 4-Tay, Nate Dogg, Method Man, Redman, and P-funk legend George Clinton. Points for discussion: Do you still bump this classic? Which disc do you prefer, Book 1 or Book 2? How do you rank it amongst 2Pac's other projects? Favourite bar, track, beat? Do you put Pac in your top 5 of all time? Why(not)?

| R&B Artist Spotlight: Jorja Smith Posted: 12 Feb 2021 06:53 AM PST Spotify Music Style: Melancholic Contemporary R&B that often treads into Pop Soul and Neo Soul territory. Jorja Smith is someone who you would call a modern-day soul singer. Before we get into that, you all may have recognized Jorja from her features. She's on tracks such as Tyrant (Kali Uchis' Isolation), I Am (Black Panther: The Album), and Get It Together (Drake's More Life). So, Jorja has been getting some buzz in music. With her features, Jorja has always managed to bring something different to the table. You just never know what to expect from her. As stated earlier, Jorja is a modern day soul singer. Considering how some of her main influences are soul singers (Amy Winehouse, Nina Simone, Sade), this isn't too surprising. Jorja's music can be described as very melancholic. Her sound often invokes a somber feeling, almost as if you can feel what she's feeling in the song. This is what one would call as invoking emotion which is an important quality for any soul singer. The melancholic vibe can be seen in Goodbyes, February 3rd, and Don't Watch me Cry. However, Moody melancholic songs isn't all that Jorja can bring. She can also work with songs that incorporates Dancehall (Come Over), Afrobeats (Be Honest), jazz (Rose Rouge), atmospheric vibes (Blue Lights, On Your Own, The One), 2-step production (On My Mind), funk (Where Did I Go), or Adult Contemporary (Carry Me Home). With this, Jorja shows that she cannot be confined to one box. One spectacular aspect of Jorja Smith is her singing voice. Her singing style is an ode to 60's and 70's soul music. Her expressive voice sounds like a voice aging like fine wine. She really displays her vocal prowess in So Lonely, Wandering Romance, and Let Me Down. What Jorja also has in her arsenal is her incorporation of a opera singing into her music. There are times when she incorporates opera singing like in By Any Means, Imperfect Circle, and Goodbyes. If you think she can only bring it in the studio, watch this live performance of By Any Means in the BBC Radio 1 Live Lounge. Jorja also channels her influences when she sings. She channels Aaliyah in Imperfect Circle and Amy Winehouse in Something in the Way. Another thing that makes Jorja stand out among her contemporaries is her lyrical ability. Her lyrics often deal with the bleak aspects of love and tread into sociopolitical territory. Contemporary R&B usually isn't a genre that veers into sociopolitical content. That is usually where Neo Soul reigns. Jorja shows that she posses a full understanding of these topics. Her songs sometimes deals with the topics of police brutality and the black struggle (Blue Lights, By Any Means) along with the realities of the beauty standards pushed by society (Beautiful Little Fools). Jorja Smith, quoting Nina Simone said
This indicates why Jorja Smith makes songs that deal with sociopolitical content. Another R&B singer who often has sociopolitical lyrics is Maverick Sabre. When Jorja makes these songs, the lyrics give off a feeling of an elder sitting us down as children and telling something about life that we need to hear. One thing that is the most interesting about Jorja is that she can rap. R&B singers rapping is nothing new nowadays, but the ones that do don't usually make the type of music that Jorja makes. Their music if often very hip-hop based. While Jorja's music does incorporate hip-hop at times, it's nothing on the scale of Tinashe's, Jeremih's, or Mary J. Blige's music. Jorja's rapping ability can be seen in Lifeboats (Freestyle) and Peng Black Girls (Remix). Make sure you check out Jorja Smith's projects: Project 11, Lost and Found Some of my favorite Jorja Smith Songs: By Any Means, Blue Lights, Teenage Fantasy, Goodbyes, Februrary 3rd, The One, On Your Own, On My Mind, Tomorrow, Something in the Way, Wandering Romance, Fine Lines, Lifeboats (Freestyle), Tyrant, Beautiful Little Fools, Imperfect Circle, Lost and Found, Follow the Leader, Peng Black Girls (Remix), Rose Rouge Here's a little Spotify and Apple Music playlist for her.
