Now I do not know Terrace or Devi so hopefully the title does not offend anybody. It was just too good to ignore. Anyway, the duo’s track record for releasing quality music together is proven with their most recent initiative being this year’s The Sex EP. A slight bit of controversy surrounded its release as well.

Nick from HardKnock, April Bombai, Devi Dev and I were starving after all the crap ended on Friday night in Austin. Tired but filled with too much child-like energy, we wandered the street before agreeing that another night of pizza would be the choice again. We walked to one of the eighty pizza joints located on 6th Street and, while we were about to place our orders, then glanced out to notice Fabby Davis, Jr. walking our way with a few pals.

My dearest Devi Dev sent over the final version of her & Terrace’s The SEX EP this morning and I would post the front cover but it’s so raw it would make Kanye’s MBDTF artwork seem tame. Dev, give an areola alert next time around please. Read the rest of this entry »

Terrace Martin is one smart cookie. He knew that his musical expertise associated with any project would make it respected. He knew that by paying homage to Marvin’s classic baby-maker would garner some interest. And he also knew that throwing Houston’s newest angel, Devi Dev into the fray would just sexify the entire thing up 10x. Seriously, have you seen the smile on that woman? Yeah, Snoop, Wiz Khalifa, U-N-I and few other notables are present but Devi’s personality puts this project in a whole ‘nother perspective. Read the rest of this entry »
