Single: Jordan Craft - When It Rains, It Pours

One of the perks of knowing local talent through Twitter is that frequently they'll pop through on the late night tip on Twitter and hit you with some proper goodness in the form of new Music..

Regular PHH readers will remember Jordan Craft from when yours truly threw ya'll his "Not Just A F*#@in Mixtape" release that displayed his prowess as an up and coming name on the CO radar..

When It Rains, It Pours" is a quick and effective reminder that Craft is still around and honing his work... He also handled the production here, which is even more reason to be enthused..

The Stones Throw Producer/DJ/emcee and drummer known as Karriem Riggins is preparing to release his new album "Alone Together" on October 23rd and there is little doubt in my mind that one will be able to just immerse themselves in Karriem's varied grooves and drift away...

Here, we have the initial sampling of the record w/ "Moogy Foog It", a spacy, mellow, synthesizer-driven piece of goodness that will adequately ready you for the funk that lie ahead...

Cover Art: Beanie Sigel - This Time

With news breaking that Sigel is yet again headed back to prison on a tax evasion beef, the Broad Street Bully is making the most of the publicity and droppin "This Time" on August 28th...

Dominique LaRue - Diem. Produced by D/Will

She's long been my top pick in a very competitive crop of new femcees entering the game....
