Marco Polo feat. Masta Ace – Nostalgia
Marco Polo is a Canadian dude who, like most hip hop producers or rappers from Toronto, moved south of the border once things started heating up. He’s had a sick career so far, producing for and working with an A-list of rappers that includes Talib Kweli, KRS-One, Masta Ace, Kool G Rap, Buckshot, OC, Large Professor, Sadat X, and Torontonian Kardinal Offishall. This track is...

Sunday Hip Hop Hits: Erick and Parish Making Dollars
One of my all time most influential groups on my current hip hop tastes is a group called EPMD, or Erick and Parrish Making Dollars (or Erick and Parrish Millenium Duckets). They’re a duo from Long Island NY, and has both embodied and shaped the East Cost Sound for over twenty years now, having released their first (and highly influential) album in 1988. I had heard of them...

![Janelle Monáe – Tightrope [feat. Big Boi]](http://salacioussound.com/wp-content/themes/salacioussound5/timthumb.php?src=http%3A%2F%2Fsalacioussound.com%2Fwp-content%2Fuploads%2F2010%2F09%2FJanellemonae_300dpi-371x560.jpg&h=156&w=156&zc=1)
Janelle Monae released her first studio album on Bad Boy just a few months ago, and it has been widely received with critical acclaim. Given the way Janelle speaks about her work and music in general, it would be fair to describe The ArchAndroid (Suites II and III) as equal parts hip hop, neo-soul, pop, and art project. The video for her first single, Tightrope (below), is an eye...

Damu The Fudgemunk – How It Should Sound Promo EP
Damu The Fudgemunk has been producing for years now, and with over 20 releases in his discography perhaps the only thing more amazing than his extremely high quality beats is that he hasn’t broken out in a big way. He’s no late starter though – despite the fact that he is still in his early 20s, Damu has racked up praise from the biggest publications in the...

Keys n Krates Release New Drake Remix
I’m a bit slow on this one given how long ago I received it from these gents, as a result of my trip to Rock The Bells just this weekend past. They posted this up on their Soundcloud Profile about a week ago now too. I recently did a big post on Keys and Krates here, so I’ll spare the usual details and let you hit that link – there are a ton of huge remixes and...

Lauryn Hill Live at Rock The Bells 2010
One of the highlights at yesterday’s NYC stop on the 2010 Rock the Bells tour was Lauryn Hill, who despite audio difficulties throughout her show, put on a solid performance. I was pretty surprised when she broke in to Ready or Not, a single off of her earlier effort as a member of the ill-fated Fugees, and I think the rest of the audience was too – it was definitely...
