Another from the mysterious Moxie back catalog i'm digitalising. Anyone who has seen us play over the last couple of months will remember this big one, thanks to a big-ass balloon landing on the decks at love fever this got a rewind :) A killer cut of Betty Wright's 'Where is the love' that always does damage... it doesn't ever leave my side.

The Tonight Show With Jay Leno (NBC): Cee-Lo Green Cee-Lo is plugging [...]
Betty Wright knows great soul, and there are several excellent passages on Betty Wright: The Movie , but she shouldn't feel the need to rebuild herself. Betty Wright begins her latest album, Betty Wright: The Movie, with a song titled "Old Songs". It's built around a mean groove - funky bass, smooth guitars - and it contains a blatant plea to the listener: "Old songs / old songs / old records / and old memories / 8 tracks / takin' it back / to the old songs." After making this naked statement about her own relevance and [...]
I have a lot to say about new music from Betty Wright but only need a little space to say it. Bessie Regina Norris was born December 21, 1953 in Miami, Florida. She was popular R&B artist of the seventies who continues to be a force on the modern music scene in this new millennium. Not only are many of her songs sampled in modern music, she is often employed for behind the scenes vocal work, vocal coaching, and vocal arranging. Appearances on her new album by rappers Lil Wayne and Snoop Dogg are based in part on her previous [...]

Scucci Manucci EP By Stef Siepel The weekly froth! A weekly take on six tracks, most of which have recently popped up somewhere in the blogosphere. Bit of a mixed bag with a slight leaning towards house, disco, and remixes, but generally just anything that for some reason tickled the writer's fancy. Track of the week: 'That's the Truth' by Casino Times On a Scucci Manucci EP this is a track called 'That's the Truth' by Casino Times . [...]

Rah Rah – "Parkade" from Breaking Hearts. Also, stream Betty Wright and the Roots track, "Grapes on a Vine" feat. Lil Wayne from The Movie. Continue reading…
For her new album Betty Wright: The Movie , the '70s soul legend teams up with the Roots, whose ?uestlove co-wrote and co-produced the entire album. And on the smooth rocker "Grapes On A Vine," Lil Wayne shows up to kick a quick verse over a Captain Kirk guitar solo. Think of it as a favor returned; Wright, after all, howled the chorus on the Carter III standout "Playing With Fire." Listen to the track below. Read More...
Old school R&B legend Betty Wright is following the lead of current R&B talent John Legend by linking up with the Legendary Roots Crew for her latest album. Wake Up won Legend and The Roots a few more Grammy's, so I see why Betty went this route for her first album in 10 years. Betty Wright: The Movie will be released on November and was co-produced/co-written by Questlove. Here is a leak from the album featuring Lil Wayne. BETTY WRIGHT & THE ROOTS FEAT. LIL WAYNE - GRAPES ON A [...]
The talented Betty Wright helped out Wayne with a cameo back on Tha Carter III, when she featured on "Playing With Fire". It looks like he's returning the favor here, as he adds a verse of his own for a track off her upcoming collaborative album with The Roots. I was hesitant at first, but Wayne definitely goes back to his roots on this one; he's the perfect complement for this particular beat. Betty Wright: The Movie drops next Tuesday. Tweet

First the good news. Against long odds and last minute chaos, this is going down this evening. Birthday parties, etc. Danny Brown's XXX as the unofficial sdtk. There will be a DJ set from everyone's favorite Stones Throw Skippy-loving Wolf . There is also the rumor of a performance from everyone's favorite Brainfeeding San Diego-bred murderer. And of course, Flash Bang Grenada, Vex Ruffian and Jonti. Did you know that Jonti did a track with Hodgy Beats yesterday. Probably. But now you now again. The bad news: Spaceghostpurrp canceled. Things will remain phonky. [...]
The fifth instalment in the Covered With Soul series departs from the custom of the previous four which featured mostly covers of non-soul originals. This mix consists of soul covers of soul songs. One would imagine that soul covers of soul songs would be more frequent than those of non-soul tracks in the genre's repertoire of the late 1960s and '70s, but I've found that this is not necessarily so, at least not as far as reasonably well-known tracks are concerned, and if one ignores the Motown custom of its roster all recording the same songs.
