BamaLoveSoul RadioDJ Rahdu - FlyJazzSoundsI was livestreaming a DJ mix and played 3 John Coltrane flips back to back and began to ponder doing a mix featuring Jazz/Hip Hop hybrids. I decided to challenge myself and only include tracks I've received in 2020. The result is FlyJazzSounds, the 30 minute mix you hear once you press play. Although, inspired by Jazz, the mix is primarily Hip Hop, unlike my Some Jazz series.
Sadly, while completing the mix, Jazz critic Stanley Crouch passed away. I admired Crouch for his beautiful writing and intelligence, but largely disagreed with his thoughts on Jazz and especially Hip...2021-02-1530 min

BamaLoveSoul RadioCovers 011I had a great time putting together this mix of covers to share with y'all. I've been told this mix has something for everyone and I'm glad it's able to connect in that fashion! All of my favorite genres are represented and most have been flipped on their heads like Kandace Springs' version of Lauryn Hill's Ex-Factor. I played it a little loose this time so some aren't straight covers but have been heavily inspired by the original. Plug in, tune out and as always please spread the word! Download HERE

We looked around for some of the best examples and came across a plethora, so many in fact that we couldn’t possibly use them all in one set. Some tracks stay close to the original format, taking just slight liberties, others push the boundaries a bit more, while a few are tried and true staples re-drawn, re-shaped and reimagined. Enjoy!

I've also been mining my Hard Drive and came across Bilal's shelved 2004 album, Love For Sale. This album is too good for people to miss due to being unaware of it's existence.

BamaLoveSoul RadioDJ Rahdu - Gypsy Eyes (Unfinished Mix)I left my iPod in the house Friday night as I was rushing to DJ the Julie Dexter/Jaafar concert. Choosing not to listen to the radio, I blindly selected a CD from my Jeep’s console. It was unmarked, so when the intro began I nearly crashed my Jeep because I hadn’t heard this mix in years.
This mix was created around 2005-2006 and is a sexy soulful number featuring artists like Spacek, Cottonbelly and Silhouette Brown. Gypsy Eyes was created to be a Love Jones inspired mix, however when (one of) my external hard driv...2020-06-2450 min

Normally, what you’ll hear are more of the hip hop cuts, but I wanted to showcase more of the soulful tracks he’s produced. We interviewed Dwele shortly after Dilla passed and he said, “You’ve probably nodded your head to more Dilla tracks than you realize,” so make sure you check out his discography. Enjoy!

Both of the originals have powerful female vocals which immediately put me in the mind of Northern Soul.

BamaLoveSoul RadioDJ Rahdu - Some Jazz 22: The New Jazz SoundI remember picking up Robert Glasper's In My Element and being surprised to hear the Hip Hop, soul and elements of other genres dispersed throughout the album. Although, already a Jazz fan, I was elated at hearing my generation's music represented in an art form that was previously, largely guarded from exploration and breaking form. It seems from that moment until now, as the 2010s come to a close, Jazz has reversed its position and also permeated itself into the prevalent genres of music. Glasper aside, Jazz musicians have become the new rock stars it seems - Common even took...2017-11-121h 08
BamaLoveSoul RadioBamaLoveSoul MiniMix (2008)This mix began as a blend of instrumentals. After I'd selected the 9th Wonder instrumental reworking of Vicki Anderson's Stop on By and Babu's refixing of Dionne Warwick's You're Gonna Need Me, I decided to go another route. Both of the originals have powerful female vocals which immediately put me in the mind of Northen Soul. Leela James and Georgia Anne Muldrow (1/2 of G&D) are current artists that I could easily see handling the reigns after Sharon Jones releases them. Strong drums, pianos and horns throughout and spacy at times, this mix is a 30 minute treat for the discerning...2017-10-2231 min

I never met him personally but bonded with A Tribe Called Quest's aesthetics as a Freshman in high school. During this period of self discovery I began to select music that was derived from my tastes, not the influence of my peers and immediately felt a connection to the "Bohemian" band of brothers. Their nonconformist approach to style and music set them apart from their counterparts who embraced them wholly and showed others, me specifically, that standing out isn't always...2016-04-211h 00
