You didn't make those reservations, did you? So now you show up at your woman's house with a wilted grocery store bouquet and a Whitman's sampler, and you need to [...]

Merry F**kin Christmas!!! As Ice Cube would once say, Today was a Good Day. The family and I got everything we wanted for the holiday so I figured I would spend some time on a gift for all my SXO fans. I created this Marc Mix for the simple fact that I hear this track on the radio at least 200 to 976 times a day. Dont get me wrong, Im a huge Wale fan...but damn!!! So what better way to celebrate a mainstream holiday than with a mainstream song....only Marc Mixed. Enjoy! [...]

"Lotus Flowerbomb" is no doubt one of favorite beats of '11 (esp. Miguel's hook. Shouts to our dude Miguel.) That said, it's great to hear it without Wale marblemouthing all over it. Raheem's silky smoothy melodic lines elevate "LFB" from 106 & Park "bottom of the Top 103 status to grown and sexy bedrooms worldwide. Raheem DeVaughn - Lotus Flowerbomb (Wale) Raheem DeVaughn ( Official ) ( Facebook ) Rating 8.2

Freedom Fighter by Raheem DeVaughn He is the voice of people who have an informed perspective. The Grammy Nominated self proclaimed neo soul r&b hippie rockstar, Raheem Devaughn, understands that progress requires the ability to be fearless. On October 15, 2011 alongside colleague/friend/America's profound thinkers, Dr. Cornell West, and 18 other participants, he was arrested on the steps of the United States Supreme Court for protesting with Occupy DC. As he described his experience as one of the most enlightening moments of his life, it fueled a fire [...]

By now, the average Earmilk reader knows at least three things about a great mix: 1. The first is that an accomplished DJ will use songs that you would never expect to hear, yet uses them in a way that completely works with the overall mix. 2. The second is that a successful mix involves the listener: taking them gently by the hand, and guiding them through a tasteful assortment of genres and artists. (And if the average mix is at least thirty minutes, they had better be tasteful.) If the songs are accurately [...]

One of my favorite episodes of Everybody Hates Chris was when he made the wrestling team. Long story short, he did so because he believed having a letterman jacket would allow him to experience a different world socially. The same can be said, somewhat, about the DMV's own Phil Adé . Last year's highly touted The Letterman set the stage and opened a few eyes for his presently 2DopeBoyz-sponsored project A Different World . Now, with a slightly larger following, Adé is attempting [...]

"I Can See It All," is the new collaboration between Focus, Matt Fingaz, and Raheem Devaughn. Inspiration pouring out of these three like a shower-head. Look for this song on Focus' LP, "Music of the Misinterpreted." Download: Focus – "I Can See It All" feat. Matt Fingaz & Raheem Devaughn

Words By Greg Whitt "DC Shoes ain't D.C. Shit..." – Fat Trel Fat Trel is an enigma wrapped in a riddle wrapped in a grape cigarillo. He is aligned with the Washington, D.C. Metropolitan area's most recognizable Hip-Hop artist, recent Maybach Music Group signee Wale. Oddly enough, Fat Trel is everything Wale is not. He wears North Face, not Billionaire Boys Club. He's much more likely to rhyme over a Lex Luger beat than something by 9th Wonder (though some would argue that might be the case for [...]

Sometimes all you need to achieve supreme satisfaction for the day is hearing some new Wu over a nice vintage soul groove. Never mind that "From The Hills", a mid-album offering from Raekwon 's forthcoming fifth set Shaolin vs. Wu-Tang , probably won't even rank in the Top 50 (or hell, Top 100 ) of a Best Chef Songs Ever list once all is said and done, once those spirited horns burst through the speakers, quickly followed by Raek's warm-up ad-libs and the piercing falsetto of Raheem DeVaughn singing about [...]

In 2011, this is as close to a "Roll Call" as you're going to get. Annnd , in 2011, this could be considered the first noteworthy Hip-Hop full-length record to get the ball rolling; set the standard for where the beats, rhymes and life should be propelled to elevate the music standard in the commercial district. (You hear that Dre?). You've seen a little bit, and heard a few more but holy taco Batman, this is the full enchilada we're dealing with. Kanye West, Jay-Z, Marsha Ambrosius and some guy named Just Blaze (?) [...]

The next installment to the Produced by Boola music series comes from Raheem DeVaughn & Phil Ade "Early Mornings" DOWNLOAD| Raheem DeVaughn (ft. Phil-Ade) - Early Mornings (Prod. by Boola)

Before I turn it in for the night, here's a new joint from Radio Raheem. Stepping up to the plate and delivering his rendition of Drake's "Fall For Your Type", Raheem DeVaughn does what he does best and lays down some serious vocals that sound like the track was originally his. Which begs the question; when are 99.9% of these producers and industry "professionals" going to wake up and place this dude higher on the map? As a matter of fact, Drake if you reading this right now (which you're probably not) I want to see Raheem [...]
