Gensu Dean and Apollo Brown have a new remix project coming out on Mello Music Group. The premise behind the album is that both producers take songs from the others collaborative works last year and re-work them. Dean takes tracks from Apollo Brown & Guilty Simpson‘s collaborative effort Dice Game and Brown will take songs from Gensu Dean & Planet Asia‘s Abrasions. The result is one project with two sides: Abrasions: Stitched Up and Dice Game: Shaken coming out January 14, 2014.

Give The People What They Want is Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings fifth studio album and will be available on January 14th, 2014. If you are looking for a way to start of the new year, look no further. The video for “Stranger To My Happiness” is only a sample of soulful goodness to be acquired with the purchase of this record. There is nothing like discovering an old soul/funk/jazz record that you have never heard before. That’s the beauty of Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings’ releases, you certainly haven’t heard them before, but by listening to them you can just vision the record sitting on some dusty shelf for 40-plus years just waiting to be discovered.

Chi-town producer Thelonious Martin teams up with Violator Allstar DJs Scrapdirty & Supa for the release of The Anthology. The Anthology features Thelonious’ work with artists such as Ab-Soul, Pac Div, Fiend, Curren$y, Action Bronson, and more. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, if you are going to drop a mixtape then put it into the hands of a capable disc jockey.

From the debut self titled album, “Fool’s Paradise” was the first single from the Sylvers. A deep and groovy track with an eerie quality. Lyrics like “I didn’t make this world, I was only born, that’s everyone’s attitude, who’s life was torn” and “Life is not what you make it, it’s what the upper class makes it seem to you” are thought provoking and impressive coming from the 19 year old Leon Sylver III, who penned the track. The first three Sylvers’ albums are a must have for any soul music fan. They are great albums.
