Installment 3 of Choice Cuts.
First I have a great jam by psychedelic garage soul frontman King Khan, and his Shrines. They have a new album titled What is?! that finally arrived in the States on Vice Records. This track is from their earlier release Mr. Supernatural.
“Pickin’ Up The Trash” – Click Here to Listen/Download
Next I have an excellent, and probably my favorite, cut off of Dom Kennedy‘s Future Street Drug Sounds. The piano loop just never gets old on this, and the rhymes compliment the song perfectly.
“It Was Beautiful” – Click Here to Listen/Download
Easily one of my favorite Stevie songs, this track catches Mr. Wonder in his youth crooning in peak condition. Classic.
“Hey Love” – Click to Listen/Download
More choice and essential cuts for you this week.
First up is a real gem from the New Orleans Hot Spitta, Curren$y. This joint dropped along with his album This Ain’t No Mixtape and is probably the best song off it. Trippy synths set the pace to float away into the clouds.
“Blown Away” – Click here to Listen/Download
Remember, these are about classics as much as it is new hot sh*t. To that I present you with Etta James’ “Sunday Kind of Love”. You may remember Beyoncé played her in Cadillac Records… anyway, there ain’t nothing like the real thing. This song has a great relaxed and slow vibe that puts anyone at ease.

Finally is an +8 minute electronic/hip-hop opus by Born Ruffians remixed by Four Tet. The song builds from a simple chopped key riff and some vocal melodies and evolves into sonic awesomeness. And, the remix sounds nothing like the original. Give it a listen.
