VIDEO: Spoken Honestly – Ian Kamau

rez | Video | Wednesday, March 21st, 2012

Kamau‘s latest project (One Day Soon) is so f*ckin’ dope man. You NEED that in your life. This is a really dope piece btw. Shouts to StudioFeed. Here’s the official blurb:

Multi-talented Toronto artist Ian Kamau is one of the city’s most fascinating creative minds. Ian is an “artist” in the fullest sense of the word with art acting as an opportunity to both foster conversations on important social issues and at a more personal level, “to change and evolve and transform us”. 

While touring across Canada and Europe, Kamau became disillusioned with the “music industry,” and decided to put his musical projects on hold in order to complete his studies at York University. However, a number of recent releases have signified Kamau’s return to music, the most recent of which is his full-length album, One Day Soon, which was released in the fall of 2011.

Same video. Same vocals. Different beat. Well, they made it black and white. And sounds like will.i.am took it back to the pre-“Where Is The Love” B.E.P. Way better version.

NEWS: Melanie Fiona The MF Life Available Now

rez | News | Tuesday, March 20th, 2012

SO HAPPY for Melanie man. It’s such an accomplishment to have a sophomore album in today’s musical climate. No easy task. Love that this album is more about her at this moment in time too…rather than paying homage to her influences like her first album was. Big risk on her part to change up the sound but I think it’s gonna pay off for her in more ways than one. CONGRATS MEL! WE LOVE YOU!

MELANIE FIONA – THE MF LIFE IS IN STORES NOW. COPP THAT.
