ASAP Rocky – LiveLoveA$AP (Mixtape)
From our new writer, Kamaren Kelton:
Since its birth, hip hop has been dominated by artists with distinctive styles that directly reflect their native culture. This includes lyrics infused with local slang, club culture, and other aspects of daily life. Although this has made it possible for rap enthusiasts around the globe to get a glimpse of life in urban neighborhoods across the country, it has also caused some up and coming artists to be prematurely categorized based on where they’re from. Fortunately, in more recent years we have seen an emergence of artists determined to avoid such stereotypes. ASAP Rocky, a native of Harlem, New York, is one such artist. His flow and style are far from what you would expect from a “New York rapperâ€. His most recent mixtape Deep Purple features his smooth flow and witty lyrics over 808s, pulsing rhythms, and high energy hooks. His music is best described as a fusion of styles and sounds, with southern rap being a major influence.
This is very evident in songs such as the popular “Purple Swag.†ASAP Rocky has a rapidly growing fan base that supports both his music and the ASAP movement. In an interview with FaderTV, ASAP Rocky and his comrades described the movement as a way of life promoting focus, a persistent hustler mentality, and success. Perhaps it was this very state of mind that helped him land his recent deal with Polo Grounds/RCA Records. ASAP Rocky has expressed his excitement about what the deal will mean for his career and his team. It is clear that ASAP Rocky has chosen not to adopt the stereotypical “New York rapper†image and style, but rather develop a sound of his own reflecting his personal musical preferences and influences. He has a growing fan base, star quality, and endless potential. Be on the lookout for his upcoming projects including a highly anticipated mixtape Live.Love.ASAP, He is also scheduled to be an opening act on Drake’s “Club Paradise†Tour.

Amy Winehouse – Lioness: Hidden Treasures (Artwork & Tracklist)
Mark Ronson and Salaam Remi have got together to oversee the first posthumous album of the late great Amy Winehouse. It will be released December 5th on Island records.
“Our Day Will Come (Reggae Version)†– reggae re-working of classic 60’s doo wop song produced by Salaam Remi. Recorded May 2002.
“Between The Cheats†– new Amy composition recorded in London in May 2008 for potential inclusion on album three produced by Salaam Remi.
“Tears Dry†– originally written by Amy as a ballad, this is the original version she recorded in November 2005 in Miami with Salaam. The later uptempo version appears on “Back To Blackâ€.
“Wake Up Alone†– the first song recorded for the “Back To Black†sessions. This is the one-take demo recorded in March 2006 by Paul O’Duffy.
“Will You Still Love Me Tomorrow†– Amy’s beautiful reading of the Carole King written Shirelles classic. Produced by Mark Ronson and featuring the Dap Kings with string arrangements by Chris Elliott who did all the strings for Mark’s tracks on “Back To Blackâ€. Recorded in September 2004.
“Valerie†– one of Amy’s jukebox favourites. This is the original slower tempo version of the Mark Ronson produced post “Back To Black†single. Recorded in December 2006.
“Like Smoke†featuring NAS – Amy and Nas became really good friends after Amy name checked the New York rapper on “Back To Black’s†“Me & Mr Jonesâ€. “Like Smoke†is finally Amy doing a song with one of her favourite artists. Produced by Salaam Remi. Recorded in May 2008.
“The Girl From Ipanema†– the first song the 18 year old Amy sang when she first went to Miami to record with Salaam. Salaam remarked that “the way she re-interpreted this bossa nova classic made me realise that I was dealing with a very special talent. Her approach to the song was so young and fresh, it really inspired the rest of our sessions.†Recorded in May 2002.
“Halftime†– Amy had talked to Ahmir ‘Questlove’ Thompson of the Roots about working together. “Halftime†is a song that Amy and Salaam had worked on since the Frank sessions. The result is beautiful. Recorded in August 2002.
“Best Friends†– “Frank†era live set opener produced by Salaam Remi. Probably the first song that early Amy fans would have heard live. Recorded in February 2003.
“Body & Soul†with Tony Bennett – cover of 30’s jazz standard with hero Tony Bennett. Recorded at Abbey Road Studios London in March 2011 and produced by Phil Ramone. Amy’s final studio recording.
“A Song For You†– heartbreaking and emotional version of the Leon Russell classic made famous by Donny Hathaway. Hathaway was Amy’s all-time favourite artist and the song was recorded in one take, just Amy and her guitar, at her home in London during the spring of 2009 as she battled her demons. Produced by Salaam Remi.
