The rapper born Cozodor Calvin Broadus Jr released his debut album “Doggystyle” in 1993 in America and in 1994 in Australia, when this here blogger was all of 12 years of age.

On the evening of Monday July 27th 2009, I was sitting in my room, listening to a compilation that I had put together back in 2005, when the song “Fly High” by Rahsaan Patterson began to play. For some reason, I decided to do a Google search for it because I felt as though it [...]

Maya Azucena is an independent soul artist who hails from a place in New York called Flatbush. According to the documentary featured on the ehanced portion of her debut album, she was the only girl in her neighbourhood aside from her very own sister. Hmmm. Interesting.

Unless you count the “Unplugged” CD that was released in between “Urban Hang Suite” and “Embrya,” (which I don’t) this is the fourth album by Maxwell. His last album was called “Now” and was released some time in mid-to-late 2001. The man then decided to disappear for a good eight years before making his fans [...]

In 1995, Michael Jackson released his first ever Greatest Hits package, which was a double disc set comprising of all of the old favourites and another separate disc of mostly new recordings. To coincide with the album was a video cassette, which I personally dubbed from a friend of mine who lived around the corner [...]
