So I've been rather busy and haven't been posting as consistently as I would've liked, henceforth this little recap post. I'm not gonna go into detail on all the songs featured; everything is just a collection of my pick's from the past week or so. Most notable are: 1) Lana 's "Young and Beautiful" off the upcoming Great Gatsby soundtrack 2) New Empire of the Sun !!! 3) Disclosure 's latest featuring Eliza Doolittle 4) "24k" feat. A$AP Rocky which samples one of [...]
Yes that is correct… the French fashion label has teamed up with one Mr. Theophilus London for what looks like a reversible bomber jacket. Yes please. London originally broke the news via an interview on Mr. Porter back in September saying that he had some stuff with Surface to Air in the works and about a week ago he dropped the above pix via Instagram with the caption, "Testing 1 2 3." Digging the reflective fabric, patches and zipper treatment. Can't wait for this one to come out. File this under want. [...]
Theophilus London dropped his new studio track earlier this week. Rio was produced by Thomas Brenneck and the Menahan Street Band. Theophilus has a lot of love for Rio: - " I went to Rio in 2010 to play a festival alongside Erykah Badu and Femi Kuti and it was incredible " explains TL. " I was only supposed to be down there for a couple days, but wound up staying in Rio for two weeks. The trip gave me so much energy and I met so many amazing people that it inspired me [...]
I love any song that can transport me to another time and place, and the latest jam by Theophilus London featuring The Menahan Street Band titled "Rio" does just that. It features a sparkling, smooth 702s soul groove with a funky beat for London to croon upon. It's the perfect tune to bliss out to during a little "me time." Speaking of "me time," Häagen-Dazs has asked me to partner with them again as their music curator for their "moments for me" campaign. This year the Häagen-Dazs brand is asking their fans to share their [...]

Sometimes we need to take a step back and realize some of the good parts of life. This is where Theophilus London's newest release, “Rio” comes in. In this tropical new song, London, with the help of The Menahan Street Band , explores Rio de Janero, and brings a little escape to the everyday hustle and bustle of life. It's not the first time he's brought a little paradise to his music, but it's certainly been a little while. It's the perfect way to get an escape- a little internal holiday for the tough lives [...]

Theophilus London is back with his new single, 'Rio', featuring fellow Brooklynites Menahan Street Band, who add their characteristic jazz-funk groove to the ultra-smooth track. "I went to Rio in 2010," says Theophilus. "The trip gave me so much energy, and I met so many amazing people that it inspired me to make a song in Rio's honour". A Pina Colada for the ears, the track encapsulates the sultry, tropical rhythms of Brazil, and is "an introduction to the vibe (he's) taking for (his) next still untitled full-length". It is released via [...]
New music from Theophilus London ft The Menahan Street Band called “Rio”. Enjoy.
It's been awhile since we posted anything by Theophilus London . Yesterday, we got word of his new track, 'Rio' featuring The Menahan Street Band. This is the type of music and boundary breaking tracks I love to hear from Mr. London. Check out Rio below. “I went to Rio in 2010. The trip gave me so much energy and I met so many amazing people that it inspired me to make a song in Rio’s honor,” -Theophilus London
Theophilus London - Rio (ft. The Menahan Street Band) One of my favorite hip-hop artists is about to drop another release, continuing to stretch his creative muscles in a new direction. There’s very little hip-hop vibe going on in this track and Theo’s indicated this is the direction he’s taking his next album, so I’ll applaud his confidence and wait to see how it all comes together. // https://soundcloud.com/theophi lusl/theophilus-london-ft-the
Always one to keep you guessing of his latest creative style, Theophilus London heads down a mysterious and soulful path on new single “Rio”. Getting the Menahan Street Band to provide this 70’s era smoothness, sets the most comfortable of backdrops for Theo to croon over. Listen to the sly magic below.
Considering how very few Theophilus London songs work the same creative angle, attempting to predict how the latest cut from the experimental Brooklyn-born talent might sound is pretty much a pointless endeavor. With most artists, such a trait can be annoying, but for London, a guy who's rarely dropped a dud in his many years on the scene no matter the track's genre flavor, this stylistic schizophrenia has only helped in cementing him as one of the music blogosphere's hip hop faves. Inspired by a 2010 trip to Rio de Janeiro, London has [...]

Como decía hoy un heladero "al menos hace sol". Hay días asi... Y porque de vez en cuando hace falta un poco de ánimo a todos, os dejo para escuchar la última de Theophilus London - en colaboración con The Menahan Street Band y inspirado en un viaje a Rio de Janeiro (que mala vida tiene este chico, no?).

Ever since his career skyrocketed, Theophilus London's been a nonstop whirlwind of performances, appearances and trips while still finding time to create. From the sounds of "Rio," all of the [...]
What rapper other than Theophilus London can pull this song off? The Menahan Street Band lays down a '70s soul vibe that is filled with plenty of bossa nova influences. The instrumental is so smooth, and Theophilus just croons over the track. "Rio" really shows the rapper branching out into new territory. Sure, this isn't the first time he's strayed away from rhyming over a beat, but this is definitely the first major showcase of his range since being in the public eye. Anyone remember " Calypso Blues "? There's still plenty of references to hip-hop, but there's [...]
