Introducing Maseratay: Q&A with Belgium’s Rising Funk Duo

Maseratay

A little while ago, we brought you an amazingly funky EP, Never Let You Go, by a Belgian group, Maseratay.  Upon first listen, we were blown away not only by the name of the group, which sounds like the 80s Minneapolis and Prince influenced group, Mazerati, but also by the wicked synth grooves and vocals.  As such, we had to learn more.  After reaching out to the group, we were able to get some answers to the questions we had.  Thanks a lot to Alex Deforce, owner of On-point.be, Maseratay’s record label, for his assistance.  Enjoy.

Prince – Dakota House Concert Soundboard Recordings ‘Dakota1′ + ‘RBJ’ 2013

3rdeyeg

Several weeks ago, a mysterious YouTube account, 3rdEyeGirl, began dropping seemingly random unreleased Prince tunes.  Given his team’s penchant for promptly removing any Prince content from YouTube, many found it strange that this account seemed to go on without being impacted.  A couple of Who is 3rd Eye Girl? videos later and it seems pretty clear “she” is affiliated with Prince.   This was recently confirmed when the purple one launched the 3rdEyeGirl website with a new song and a remix of the previously released Screwdriver.

Common X J. Period – The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.) [SINGLE] FULL STREAM

common-jperiod-650-430

We’re digging this new track by Common and our BK neighbor and homie, J. Period.  Taking a break from his duties as Music Director for the Brooklyn Nets, J. Period spins some retro production magic with this return to the 90s’ I Used to Love Her classic tune by Common (then Common Sense).  Dope lyrics + Bomb Production = MUST COP!!

Rating:  A

Description from Billboard:

The J. Period produced track continues where Common’s ’94 “Resurrection” classic, “I Used to Love H.E.R ” leaves off. “‘The Next Chapter (Still Love H.E.R.)’ celebrates the latest episode in my lifelong lyrical love-affair with hip hop,” Common says.

“Concrete rose going through hos and flows/ On the paper chase I found out I was chose/ A fetish for clothes, success and blessin’ the hood/ The struggles of an MC progressing through the good,” he raps.

J. Period’s “Rage is Back” celebrates NY Times best-selling author Adam Mansbach’s novel of the same title. “Rage is Back” is available in the iTunes bookstore and is currently one of Amazon‘s “Books of the Month.”

Prince – Chapter & Verse [NEW UNRELEASED SINGLE]

prince-RRLA
Here’s a new leaked song, Chapter & Verse, from Prince.  It is essentially a live loose groove with Prince espousing some pretty random rhymes and talk of a “purple bag of money.”  Honestly, this is a pretty strange song, if you want to call it that. Released like the other recent leaks from YouTube account 3rdEyeGirl, this one is for serious true fans who understand that not every Prince song is a classic. Read more of this post
