Everything you’ve heard is true! Arthur Lewis IV is indeed a genius but you don’t have to take my word for it. Seems the Yale graduate has set the price of his self-produced debut to “name your own price” for 30 days (via bandcamp).

So with just 1 week remaining on this deal, you can find out for yourself and it won’t cost you an arm or leg.
Preview it here and download it if you love it!

Much to the dismay of fans 2006′s leading all black member band, The Slack Republic, disbanded in early 2007 before ever releasing their highly anticipated LP, siting creative differences. So it may come as a shock to many of their followers that that several demos from the incomplete concept album are now being released for freeload.

Recorded in the early winter of 2006, The Rise & Fall of the Ottoman Empire contains 9 selections from the final and incomplete works of The Slack Republic. The valiant effort was made to compile these songs into the closest representation of the album that never was. Additionally each track features lyrics and/or some portion of concept album’s narrative. Visit: mecjagger.bandcamp.com for more details.

With his name fresh off the tongues of the Red Bull Music Academy’s selection committee, 18 year-old phenom, 00Genesis steps out of the lab to release of a Free EP for his fans.

Available exclusively at www.00genesis.com – “Re-Run of 00Episode Re-Runs” (playfully dubbed as the “Re: Re-Runs Free-P”) is a step into the vault of treats which reside on 00′s hard drive grabbing at a few selects from his earliest of works.
There’s still quite a bit in the vault, so perhaps there will be an episode 2 before he releases the tunes that made Red Bull Music Academy say “YES!” The 7 track collection creeps out December 8th and will be available for free download at www.00genesis.com.

Pronounced Mu•sē•nə – A Classical Pianist, Composer, Arranger, Producer, Singer/Songwriter, Engineer and much more, Muhsinah has earned each and every title thrown her way. Having landed on the musical radar like a phantom battleship, this Howard University graduate continues to fire her sonic genius, sinking nay-sayers and making a name for herself at a rate some might consider alarming. A Washington D.C. native, turned Brooklyn transplant with a taste for Hollywood? Game over. Abandon ship!

After having his way in the underground dinner party scene of New York for several years, Mr. Fried Chicken finally spun his passion to bridge community, culture, art through music and food, into a 30 minute Variety Show. In the show he films with some of the most innovative artists of our time. As the show’s host, director, conceptual artist and event curator, Dante Fried Chicken wears many hats. Let’s thank our lucky stars one of them is white and poofy. Yum!

Haling from the sunny side of Sunnyside Queens, this Yale graduate delivers on his talents, making good use of his well earned music degree. Arthur’s music, filled with soulful harmonies, dramatic builds, and tender breakdowns, make us fully aware of his coherent versatility. Not many can hold their own when mentioned in the same breathe as D’Angelo, Martin Sexton, Sufjan Stevens, and Prince yet somehow Arthur Lewis holds his own in the company of geniuses.

Film Noir, death and lush sunsets are the root of the 00Genesis aesthetic. Still in his ripe teens, this Maryland transplant leads listeners on a journey through his ever expanding imagination, armed with only a laptop, a vision and an air of experience that rivals that of beatmakers twice his age. Best described as audible Ashley Wood illustrations, 00’s loosely based compositions leave room for interpretation and adoration. 00Heaven!
