Doug used to be the greatest cartoon on television, period. Then Disney started putting their own version out and it was complete garbage. Luckily, on this fine Christmas-Eve, Carlitta Durand teams up with Vaughn Garcia to bring back the essence of the fine Nickelodeon series. Don’t have time to listen, so I am going purely off the strength of Carlitta’s name and her worth with the likes of Little Brother and The Foreign Exchange. Give it a spin when you get a chance… Merry Christmas!

There are few musicians in hip-hop that actually get me excited. Zo! is one of those musicians. Catching me completely by surprise this evening, Zo! dropped this wonderful EP of covers, featuring FE homies like Yahzarah, Carlitta Durand, Phonte, Sy Smith and Darien Brockington. This serves as a perfect teaser to hold us over until the summer when Zo drops his LP, SunStorm. Give it a spin and share some thoughts after the skip!

We’re almost there. Sept. 15 is swiftly approaching and that’s when all of us will be graced by more of that smooth and organic music from Nicolay and Phonte, who shares songwriting credits on many of the tracks. Also featured on several tracks on here is songstress Carlitta Durand, who you may know for her gorgeous vocals on past Little Brother hooks. And from what we have heard from her and her boys so far on City Lights Vol. 2: Shibuya, this album is likely to be just as fantastic as we all hope. Also, for those of you who cannot wait, we have here a sampler of seven tracks featured on the album. Hit the jump to see just which tracks you’re hearing and a bonus picture of the CD.

It feels like we were just announcing Nicolay’s newest project, City Lights Vol. 2 : Shibuya, a day or two ago. And now, we have the first leak off the album. Featuring the gorgeous vocals of Carlitta Durand, “Lose Your Way” is another breezy and soulful joint crafted by this talented Dutch producer. We are certainly in luck if the rest of the album even sounds half as good as this track. But knowing Nic and Phonte, who helped create Vol. 2, this is only the tip of iceberg. Hit the jump for the full artwork.
