There’s always that breaking point where we have to give up a favorite artist to the world if we want their music and art to be seen by more people. I knew the time was finally upon us when the latest issue of GQ came last week & Theo was found in between the pages, being focus of their “Rebel Style” feature. After long campaigning for larger outlets and checkwriters to hear this man’s sh#t, notice has finally been given and it’s both beautiful and bittersweet. Read the rest of this entry »
When music has zest, it’s appealing and infectious and it’s what composes Theophilus’ music. On listening, the ears lead the mind in the involuntary reaction of escaping, following wherever dude decides to lead. And after waiting for what seems like forever, the final version of “Flying Overseas” is now available. Read the rest of this entry »
I can’t listen to Hip-Hop all the time, nor would I want to live in a world where I was forced to do so. Listening to other genres and styles is a beautiful thing. Therapeutic, in a sense. One of the better feelings is running across an album you know is dope, but effectively forgot about due to the proliferation of music in today’s climate. Enter Solange’s Sol-Angel And The Hadley Street Dreams. Read the rest of this entry »

The song that had no name only a few short weeks ago now has one & it shall be called “Flying Overseas.” It also has a new co-star in Solange. So @ this point, two of my current favorite eccentric entities have come together and…I hate to build up ideas or events, but this song could be full-blown crazy. We’re talking lions attacking park visitors crazy. Read the rest of this entry »
While the paparazzi and most keep their eyes focused on the other Knowles daughter, the more entertaining one is quietly cultivating her own niche. Trust me on this. She’ll never been a megastar and will always carry the footnote of being “Beyonce’s sister.” Nevertheless, Solange’s move to establish herself, embracing fans (specifically online) and explore her creativity in front of her newly found audience has created a greater appreciation for who and what she is, rather than isn’t.
That’s “Under Construction,” a rough mix that she gave away via her site on Friday. Couple it with the wonderful Dirty Projectors’ cover, “Stillness Is The Move,” there’s enough there to merit anticipation for her as yet untitled, third studio album. Read the rest of this entry »

Beyonce’s too polished & prim to speak up for herself, normally choosing to allow Papa Knowles to do her bidding in most cases. This time around, the “feisty one” Solange strikes back @ negative remarks made about her big sister, using her Twitter to do the talking. Read the rest of this entry »
Outside of “What A World,” I don’t have too much knowledge on Chester French. I’ve seen the name, but what I thought was a singular artist is actually a duo. Nevertheless, two things made me give this tape more than a passing glance: Clinton Sparks, and the featured guests. But I’ll let them talk about them.
“Jacques Jams, Vol. 1: Endurance” is a chronicle of the past six years of our lives. It tells our story, from the gymnasiums of Harvard to the hills of Hollywood. Unlike “Love the Future,” which we’ve written, arranged, performed, produced, and engineered by ourselves, “Jacques Jams” features a collection of new, original music that we created in the hills of Massachusetts and then invited some of our favorite artists to grace.
As young artists, we couldn’t be more grateful for this opporunity to collaborate with legends like Jermaine Dupri, Diddy, Pharrell, Pusha, Talib Kweli, Bun B., The Mad Rapper, Kardinal Offishall, N.O.R.E, and Jadakiss as well as younger friends like Janelle Monae, Cassie, Wale, Solange, Lady Gaga, and Mickey Factz. All of these fantastic artists have been more than generous with their creativity and hard work, so we owe them an enormous debt. Clinton Sparks, above all, has tirelessly guided us toward success and endurance, a tall order with obnoxious perfectionists like us!
