Your weekly dose of the music that moves and grooves. Every other Thursday Sels is dropping a new mix of the latest and greatest in R&B and Hip Hop. So turn off those radios playing the same recycled noise on repeat and put this in your ear instead.

Brandy’s new cd Human is scheduled for a December release so be on the look out for that. Also showing some hometown love for my boy Dwele with Find A Way from his debut cd. Anthony Hamilton is doubled up on guest spots on Al Green’s You’ve Got The Love I Need and Angie Stone’s Stay For A While from Stone Love. Phaedra made her own version of Eric Benet’s You’re The Only One and she does it justice and then some. Enjoy… Until next week…

The intro echos how I feel about the radio lately but I’m not going to get started with that, not today anyway. I’ll save that for another day and just enjoy the go-go beat. Remember is on J Dilla’s unreleased Pay Jay cd which hopefully will be released soon. I know posthumous releases can get a bit numerous and dated but this is DIlla. Erykah Badu’s Soldier makes an appearance followed by 4hero’s Stoke Up the Fire. Since I love just about anything with Andre 3000’s name on it we also have John Legend’s new single Green Light. It’s good to hear John Legend switch it up with something more uptempo. Ledisi’s Alright has been getting me through a few things here and there. I’ve been on a dance kick lately and for that there’s Groove Armada and Ananda Project. Cosmic Girl was part of my introduction to Jamiroquai back in my dorm cafeteria working days at MSU (another story for another day). Let’s just say that Traveling Without Moving was the work soundtrack. Closing out this mix are two artists who shouldn’t be slept on and a legend. Rahsaan Patterson’s Feels Good is from his latest cd Wines & Spirits, Al Green’s latest featuring John Legend Stay With Me and finally Lina is sticking around with her latest cd Morning Star. Enjoy this week’s mix.

Last weekend we were hit with the double loss of Bernie Mac and Isaac Hayes two great entertainers. I’m still at a loss for words even after having a few days to let it sink in. My thoughts and prayers are with they’re families.  TGrundy’s latest podcast is a tribute to Isaac Hayes. Make sure you check it out.
