Ango: Deep Inside “Another City Now” (Video)

Ango is LuckyMe’s newest artist and his new EP, Another City Now, is currently available for audible consumption as you’re currently reading this. However, this isn’t your typical LuckyMe dancefloor burner release; Another City Now is a debut that focuses on the emotional weight of each track, oozing with inspiration and light at every turn. Full of nods to ’80s boogie, funk, RnB, as well as Ango’s strong vocal stamp, this debut release from the Canadian producer is sure to pluck at the heartstrings and bring out the funk hidden inside each and every one of us. Ango was more than kind enough to give URB a take on his inspiration for the record, with an in-depth personal take on each track, along with links to some vibes that put him onto the right path to each tune. Check it out after the jump.

Sade, “The Moon And The Sky (Remix Featuring Jay Z)” (MP3)

OMG Y’ALL! So while I was busy getting my errands done this morning and then catching up with Eva Luna *pregnant pause*, “the highly anticipated” Jay Z and Sade collaboration was released on Jay Z’s new blog. This cut is supposed to come out on Sade’s upcoming The Ultimate Collection which is out on May 3rd. I personally think it’s nice to show the different ways you can cut a Sade song but I’m still not completely sold on it. I’m more of Sade House remix kinda gal — for now.

Interview :: Lazerbeak’s “Legend Recognize Legend”

Before our conversation, I listened to the new album, watched the video for DoomTree’s “Drumsticks” a million times. I’ll have to wait a month or two till he comes to play West Hollywood to shout it at him at a show. At at 28, he’s already logged a considerable amount of time in the studio, and four hundred plus some odd tracks which is definitely a professional average. Spin has even called him a child prodigy, various mainstream media corporate outlets bowed at his feet as well in previous write-ups. He was down for the exchange, and I was unbelievably ill. It was decided via text message would be mutually beneficial way to proceed.
