my good friend, Chachi Mandela (of Club Noir fame), sent me this mix just last night. and since Chachi is a machi and likes to do dutchies in an Iraqi, i was obliged to listen and comment on it. this mix is the finest selection in brand spankin' new soul concoctions which combine tried-and-true formulas of old with the modern, electronic age of music. it's the next logical step in r&b, a genre once referenced as "neo-soul", a term which most aficionados loathe, but i think sums up neatly what the music is attempting to accomplish: that being, the marriage of the old with the new. the following tracks are all recent, some having just been released in the last few months, and none older than 2006. but more importantly, they're all dope (meaning they can be ground into a fine white powder and sniffed with a 50 dollar bill in the toilets of Dorsia).
