We Plug 2 Y.O.U...Notoriety

It’s not every day you get G.O.O.D Music delivered to your doorstep, well in this case our email. This was the case when we first heard about the group we are about to introduce to you. The birth place of Hip – Hop Is America definitely, Bronx NY to be precise not so much Boston, and this group is out to put their city on the map.

Vydle Sines, Incredible Chuck, JustRite and The Technician (Producer) make up Hip – Hop group NOTORIETY from Boston, Ma and we present to you their first E.P The Toast. Twelve solid songs, great production and instrumentals, and they go hard on the lyrics. Boston, Stand UP & Represent!!!!

Let’s get right to it, why don’t we?

“I’m in like with her” is what you just heard. I totally love the way this song starts, there’s something very jazzy about it don’t you think? I love the use of instruments on this song and I’ve been trying to figure out what each instrument is. Did you also notice something about the first rapper? He has a lisp doesn’t he? I think that is JustRite (real name Brandon) and I absolutely love how unique his voice comes off on this track. What do you think? “Music is my number one girl, and the gift that I give her is words”. At first I thought this song was to a girl, but it sounds like it’s an ode to music. That speaks of great word play, I think. This is my favorite song on here, as you can tell.

What you just finished listening to is “What I Do”. Again I’m a sucker for a good beat; it makes me want to listen closely to the lyrics, to see if they made good use of it. This song to me is the best lyrically from all three rappers and you can hear their confidence and their fight to show what it is they do on this track. Incredible Chuck (real name Charleson) said it best “the goal is radios overflow with hip-hop soul”. Will there ever be an album that does not address haters? I like this song though, what do you think about it?

That last one was called “Rashmatics”. True hip-hop heads will like this one; I love the word play on this one especially by the first rapper Vydle Sinez (real name Vital). They all went hard on this track. It’s easy especially as a female to love rap, if you can recognize the metaphors (is that the right term?), cleverly used puns and tight punch lines.

Kudos to their producer, The Technician (real name Jonathan), he did a real good job on this EP. I like The Toast and this is just a prequel to their mixtape coming soon titled J.A.M…Just A Mixtape… You see what I was saying about clever use of words? Download the EP, right here. Be sure to check them out on their blog http://notorietymusic.blogspot.com, follow them on twitter @ http://twitter.com/notorietymusic and join them on myspace at http://www.myspace.com/influencenotoriety

I look forward to what the crew from Boston, will be bringing forth. We call them G.O.O.D, do you agree? Please let us know what you think on this one, did we, well in this case, did I get it right?

Until the Next Time...
Peace, Love & GOOD Music!!!

We Plug 2 Y.O.U... Belle

OK I have been very very naughty because I've been sitting on top of this feature NOW for about 4/5 weeks and I do apologise (and then you say, 'Save it! You always Apologise! You Never Mean It!') and I do mean it this time... Music this good should never be sat on OR slept on SO please don't sleep on this one...

I wanna introduce you to Ms. Belle Moore-Benham or better simply known as Belle, UK-Based (Originally from the mighty HUDDERSFIELD) Soul & Jazz Singer/Song-Writer with just the right hints of Trip-Hop... This passionate artist & consumate performer in Belle has seen her grace World-renowned venues & gigs in the UK such as The Jazz Cafe, Proud Galleries, The Royal Court Theatre Bar & The Walthamstow Festival to mention but a few. From the jump, Her music captivates you and you seriously do NOT wanna switch her off... Something about this woman's voice just oozes So Much Soul...



WHat you just heard was 'Crazy Little Thing' and I am so in love with this song!

OK I'll actually stop talking NOW & let you hear something from Belle! Production on this is courtesy Requiem and does Belle ride this well or not? I know all my #neo-soul heads are bopping to this one & my #trip-hop heads are feeling the vibes too... Trip-Hop does come to mind as the musical arrangements kick in BUT it does have that 'neo-soul' vibe to it, doesn't it? That is all her doing, trust me! She takes the music wherever she wants with it & does it brilliantly... Something about her voice on this record though... it's soothing, it's sensual... it's Quality!

SO we're gonna jump right in to another record from this Requiem & Belle collaboration after the jump, let's see what you think?



That one's titled 'To & Fro', how are we liking this one? There ain't nothing better than some downtempo music to chill-out to on a fine Sunday afternoon though! Actually this record works on any day of the week in my opinion... Listen to what Requiem is doing on the background though... that futuristic/alien electronica sound that starts off the arrangement? Yes that one!!! How does he do that? It's f**king beautiful! & what about this Belle woman though? She just sounds SO effortless... SO minimal & it just comes out beautifully! It's #goodmusic

We've got one more record for ya... Check it!



That was 'Delicious Delicacies' as produced by DJ 2Tall... This is my favorite record from the 3 records we've featured today... I dunno why but I see a rapper on this production, it just sounds so 'Hip-Hop' to me BUT I hear Belle completely own this record & I cannot wait to hear the E.P when it comes out... I cannot get enough of this record though, when I first received it, I couldn't stop playing it. There's something about Belle's voice, it's easy on the ear BUT it also holds your attention, it's beautiful... it just is! That #beautifulmusic is Belle!!!

Ofcourse I'd love to hear your take on this amazing woman and the records you've just heard so please leave a comment for us & for her too...

Until the Next Time...

Peace, Love & GOOD Music!!!

We Plug 2 Y.O.U... G.R.E.E.D.S - Inked (The Valentine's Edition)

I absolutely love what we do here at WE PLUG, and I will tell you why. It’s that opportunity to bring you the best artists from all around the globe. It is no different in the case of the awesomeness that is G.R.E.E.D.S abbreviation for Generating Rhythms to Engage the Enlightened Soul. Poet, Writer, MC, Storyteller and Spoken Word Artist, he is a leader among the pack, unique in every way. Listening to him and I’m transformed to a good place, like he is telling my story and me, not him went through the experience he speaks of. He speaks of love and I fall in love, it’s truly an amazing gift he has.

In the spirit of Valentine’s, he brought out a sampler for the lovers, his 3^rd actually produced by Nutty P, and I truly do not misuse the word brilliant when I say this is brilliant. You will love this and well if you don’t, I really do not know what to say, but I bet you will love this so much you will send a song or two to a loved one. I would if I had one….Like he said in “Soul Sister” this is his best piece of work. Let me stop chatting though and you can be a judge for yourself, right after the JUMP

Soul Sister


There is something about the groove of this beat, and then he starts to speak. Do you see it? Do you see yourself wrapped in your lover’s arms hearing these words spoken to you; I know my ladies are going crazy listening to this. This is my favorite definitely.

No One


Wait what? He is Nigerian. Yes he is. Real Name is Yomi Sode. Loved how he used probably one of the best songs by the popular Duo P Square. And when he says “I Love You, I Love You, I Love You” swear down I am sure he is talking to me.

Love is


Like he said “Love each other”, that’s the message and such a great message. Tell someone you love them won’t you? I love this song.

I’m absolutely sure we have some new converts now, not only to G.R.E.E.D.S but to the spoken word and I’m reminded that what I do is a privilege. You can download this sampler right HERE. For links to his other 2 samplers and to buy his first album “Volume is Silence” check out his website www.iamgreeds.com. Please go there now and support him, also follow him on twitter @iamgreeds and his producer as well @mynameisnuttyp.

So tell me, what do you think? Am I crazy or is this the best thing ever and a great Valentine's day gift? Your feedback is needed to make this official definitely, so please leave one…

Until the Next Time...

Peace, Love & G.O.O.D.M.U.S.I.C
