2007 Damn Near In The Can
Got your stocking stuffers already? Stop lying, you know you’re doing all your shopping this weekend! (Er, um, at least I am…) Make sure to pick up Rahsaan Patterson’s new effort Wines & Spirits for some soulful RnB, perfect for your lady. Vibe says “‘Rahsaan Patterson remains the most gifted tenor in R&B, with a true gift for sophisticated musicianship….Every soul man wants to crown himself the heir to Stevie Wonder’s throne, but Patterson, tirelessly pushing R&B’s envelope, may be the real thing.” Any singer who garners a comparison to Mr. Wonderlove gets a listen from me!
The Rap Up Round Up Countdown, um thing… continues. Today we’re taking it alllll the way back to ‘04 in anticipation of this year’s recap from Skillz. I’m Rick James bitch! Listen to “Rap Up ‘04″ in Real Audio.
