The Kharismatic.....Kane Mayfield! 

Boy oh boy oh BOY! Kane Mayfield had us in sttiches during much of this, his second interview with us! He talks about his not 1, not 2, but 3 projects in progress! Listen to some fly tracks, including "Some Love", "Latenight Cinemax", and "Ova Ya Head" (featuring Homeboy Sandman). BUT! We are NOT going to give away the entire show! We do quite the fool, however! One hint to the madness, this quick note to Kane's mom: Dear Mrs. Reid, Please call us at (202) 573-9826 so that we can ask you, "for the record" how you feel about your son's music. Love, Shameeka Dream and One Love... Auntie Yvette or Kane's dad, please give her the message! Wink wink, Kane, wink wink ;)! Bonuses include the stories behind songs, Kane freestyling,  his "Ova Ya Head" verse spit a capella, and live bloopers!!  The interview was a pleasure always, and we can't wait to host an actual Kane Mayfield performance!!!!

Janice B. Shares My Life

Janice B., eclectic soul singer, the first singer to sign to Stinkiface music, takes you on a journey between genres, spirit, love, humor, sadness, loss, and finding of one's self. Her debut LP "My Life" begins with the sound that reminds me of what the RZA called a detuned piano. It's the old school sound of her now deceased grandmother playing the piano, a memory, appropriately distorted as it as transmuted through time and space. The album is dedicated to the memory of this incredible woman who first introduced Janice B. to music performance. In the album you will hear soul, blues, gospel, reggae, jazz, rock and even hints of Portishead's "Wandering Star". Janice B. definitely shows she is "free to reach her destiny".

SAHFFI: Beyond Our EXPECTATIONS

Enter the songstress who is free enough to release 10 tracks to 10 producers and say "go with your heART."  This interview, done live during the sound check before Sahffi released "Expectations," her most recent cd project, talks about the story behind the music, and focuses on such tracks and "Gravity" and "Ticktock Islands".  Her love of classical music and confession, "I feel... like I'm a vessel..." make you understand so much about this channeler of folk, rock, classical, and jazz blends.  Sahffi is open and free in talking about her growth through tragedy, dealing with those who feel they know and love her through her music, and even her break-up from a long-term love.  She is honest and private, humble and strong.  Listen carefully to hear when she asks "How can I tell my story; how can I live this life if I didn't notice?"  Listen to hear who she enjoys listening to, listen to hear her...........She is beyond genre, beyond trends... beyond "Expectations".......................Sahffi.

Cookies on Monday: The Mosno Interview

Mosno Al-Moseeki--what can we say about this musician, songwriter, poet, and all around good guy with a great voice and interesting sound? He calls his music Eclectic Desert Rock because he blends alternative rock and Sudanese rhythms. He has released two albums--low tech and The Ungenre-- and is currently working on his third--Novella, which at the time of this interview was just a concept.
His voice has a beautifully haunting quality that takes you on a journey through love, sadness, heartbreak, anger, joy and passion. He touches all of the traditional topics you want and expect from a talented singer-songwriter but with unusual metaphors. Cookies on Monday is the symbol he shared with a past love, referring to a ritual they shared, or "the black iron eagle in my closet staring at me..." from Guilt and Empathy that represents the feeling and transferal of bad emotions and anger from a "friend". Through his music he opens up the window for you to see his view of the world and leaves you with a lot to ponder. Mosno Al-Moseeki--Most Noble, the Musical,--he is well named.

Follow His Flow: The Kane Mayfield Interview

So glad to finally release this interview into the universe. Interviewing Kane Mayfield had to be one of the best experiences of this process thus far. We had a great time interviewing him. He's talented, hilarious, thoughtful and engaging! He is definitely an emcee to watch, check, and listen for. What we said about his live show is so true...it will send you into a mania! He has a tremendous amount of positive energy that makes you feel hype. In our conversation, he had this to say about his music, "I make what I want to listen to...I make music that sounds good with fatigue pants." You have to love that he has a whole picture in mind not just the feeling of the music but what you would wear listening to it. He is a storyteller and has joints that remind you of Slick Rick's "A Children Story" like "The Island 94". He also has the songs that make you feel tough and like mean mugging everyone in sight, listen to "Wreck". He has songs that you want to sing when you feel like people are doubting you, "Poor Georgie". His latest project is called "Follow My Flow". You can listen to it by clicking the link at the bottom of this post. On a www.sermonsdomain.com he explained the rationale behind each track. Definitely check it out!

Sean Toure Thames, The Sound Channeler Interview

What can we say about Sean Toure? Dope emcee? Check! Dope producer? Check! Dope musician? Check! All around good guy? Check! Sean Toure talks with us about what it is like to understand the music business and what it takes for an indie artist to grow in the industry. Making great music has to be first and he focused on developing his craft, telling us that "being an emcee and being a producer I've been focused on developing my craft." We learn the story behind the title "The Sound Channeler" which is very interesting. The album is incredible and the beats seem heaven sent. His new album is sure to be a classic. Our favorites are "The Om-Aveneerer", "A Day in the Life", "My Turn", "Lie in Bed" and "Hoodlife". Sean Toure has every reason to feel proud that "all of my experiences have led me to where I am today." Look for The Remix Project which is in the process of being re-released and the new LP The Sound Channeler.

The Warrior Poet: Love the Poet Interviewed

She speaks about pursuing your passion. Her advice is simple, start with waking up. We talk about the "16 shining light beams". She says the story of Christ is repeated throughout time. Why? She talks about the complexity of sexuality and how there is more to us than just being gay or straight. We exist in a spectrum. She does what every good writer should, leaves you thinking about her words long after you've heard them. She also creates sonically beautiful poetry that you will sing/speak with as loud as any song. She's written a book, Black Marks on White Paper. She's working on a new project, Gemini Moon. She's released the first single from the project called "Like Gold". She's running a kickstarter campaign to make this project a reality. For more about her art and how you can support visit her website www.lovethepoet.com.
