@ClaesRosen – Daydreaming/Wonderful
Every label needs a strong summer release and we’re pretty sure we found ours for this summer.
From the very first second we heard this demo from Stockholm based producer Claes Rosen (1/2 of dubstep duo L-Wiz) we knew this would be one of our fave releases on Local Talk. Seriously, its a real beauty! With a slight r&b touch, melodic chords and thumping house rhythms both tracks have that perfect contrast of soulful deepness and an uplifting feel.
On the a-side Daydreaming is a club friendly track with a bumpy house rhythm and smart r&b samples…the perfect summer tune!
The b-side with Wonderful is exactly what is says it is…wonderful! Its deep soulful house at its very best and music that puts a smile on your face every time your hear it.
Esty Feat. Tyga – Killing Your Ills
Tyga introduces us to his newest artist Esty in the form of the melancholy R&B record ‘Killing Your Ills’. Definitely liking what I’m hearing.

Ace Hood came through the studio yesterday, while he’s in town enjoying the L.A. Lifestyle. We got the interview coming soon but you know we had to get some bars from him! Ace goes in crazy over Rich Homie’s “Type Of Way” beat. Ace even took a quick bar to tap the BET watch mishap…”My Rollie trippin, sh*t was worth like 60k.”
Mike Sharon – Deep Empathy (EP)
For No More Noise Records, Mike Sharon’s latest offering looks to be a perfect follow-up to Dale Howard’s Undercover EP. Check out the three new tracks from Sharon below.

Premiered courtesy of this mixtape, (I will guess that) this track will appear on Ashanti’s upcoming album Braveheart, due July 30th.
SPORTS NEWS: Brad Stevens Hired As Coach For Boston Celtics
From USA Today:
Brad Stevens will be the next coach of the Boston Celtics, the team announced in a press release Wednesday.
Stevens, who just finished his sixth season at the school, led the Bulldogs to consecutive national title games in 2010 and 2011.
“Our family is thrilled for the opportunity given to us by the leadership of the Boston Celtics, but it is emotional to leave a place that we have called home for the past 13 years,” Stevens said in a statement released by Butler University.
“We truly love Butler University and Indianapolis, and are very thankful to have had the opportunity to celebrate so many wonderful things together. What makes Butler truly unique is the people that we have been so blessed to work with. When it comes time for our kids to look at schools, we will start with Butler University.”
Stevens replaces Doc Rivers, who recently was hired by the Los Angeles Clippers. The Celtics received a first-round draft pick as compensation.
The hiring of Stevens comes after Boston also dealt Paul Pierce and Kevin Garnett to the Brooklyn Nets, leaving the team in a rebuilding mode.
Emilio Rojas Feat. Aaron LaCrate – City On Fire

50 Cent Charged With Domestic Violence For Allegedly Kicking The Mother Of His Child
From TMZ:
50 Cent has been charged with domestic violence after the rapper allegedly kicked his baby mama and destroyed a bunch of property in her condo last month … TMZ has learned.
The L.A. City Attorney tells TMZ … 50 is accused of causing $7,100 in damage during the June 23 incident, which took place inside the victim’s condo in Toluca Lake, Ca.
According to officials, LAPD officers were called to the scene … and the woman told cops she had gotten into an altercation with 50 and locked herself in the bedroom.
50 — real name Curtis Jackson — allegedly got so mad, he kicked down the door and kicked her, resulting in an injury.
Officials say the 37-year-old rapper is also accused of breaking chandeliers, furniture, a TV and a lamp — and allegedly ransacked the bedroom closet — during his rampage.
Officials say 50 left the scene before cops arrived.
50 has been hit with 5 charges in total — including 1 count misdemeanor domestic violence and 4 counts of misdemeanor vandalism.
If convicted on all counts, 50 could face up to five years in jail and $46,000 in fines.
50 is due in court to be arraigned on July 22.
We’ve reached out to 50 ‘s camp for comment — so far, no word back.
