gd sobs 1

It’s always a pleasure to see Georgia Ann Muldrow and Dudley Perkins performing live.. there is a certain chemistry/synergy that they share on stage that is undeniable. So last week the LUV4ART fam decided to travel to SOB’s in the pouring rain to catch a rare east coast appearance by G&D.

I decided to bring my camera to capture some footage for this here blog and Bushman got some video footage that we’ll post in the coming weeks. So here are some of my favorite photos from the evening out of the 200+ that I took… enjoy.

The latest G&D album is available now and the new Georgia Ann Muldrow album Kings Ballad is available on Ubiquity Records…more photos after the jump.

Peter Hadar
Full Time Lover
Directed by Coodie and Chike Creative Control TV

Peter Hadar gets the Creative control treatment for his new dance song Full Time Lover. As always Coodie and Chike deliver amazing visual style and art direction in this video. Full time Lover is more of a dance direction for Mr. Hadar but still retains that lush soulful sound he is known for. It’s like a win on all levels on this project.

Spec Boogie
Bed Stuy
Directed by Ali Santana

If I was funkmaster flex this song would be the number one song in New York… that’s just to give you an idea of how many times I’ve played this song on Homecookin Radio and LUV Radio (I even emailed this song to a bunch of folks). The funny thing is… just last week I was thinking about how this video would look if I directed, so glad to see this song come to life with my hometown on display for the world to see.. hopefully. So put all your folks on to this song if you haven’t already.. Spread LUV it’s the Brooklyn way!

Dj Spinna- feat Fresh Daily, Homeboy Sandman and Pso (AOK)
Get On Down
Sonic Smash
High Water Music
Directed By Pacool

This is my favorite song from Dj Spinna’s Sonic Smash album featuring the AOK Collective…Get on Down gives you that straight no chaser hip hop feel… just dope beats and rhymes. The video looks crisp, on some video nerd ish the color correction and editing are really on point. I LUV how they put this beautiful woman in the video, how she’s just on her own vibe enjoying the music.. luv that!!!

I can’t wait for this new video by the Pac Div featuring the Cool Kids.. arguably two of the best two rap groups to emerge in the last five years. LUV the concept on this video… makes me think of an old school PE or D.O.C. video.

Erykah Badu feat. Lil Wayne
Jump up in the Air (and stay there)
Directed by. Ms. Badu

This new self directed video by Erykah Badu is a part of her marketing campaign to release new content @ 3:33 from various time zone leading up to the release of New Amerykah 2 on March, 30 2010. What I really liked about this video (in it’s simplicity} is the fact that Erykah Badu is on a serious DIY movement. I LUV when artists put out promotional content that they themselves created ( Rock on Ms. Badu). Also tonight if your watching the NBA All Star game in Dallas, you can catch Erykah performing during the Skills Challenge.

When Your Girlfriends Get Engaged and Your Shade of Green Isn’t the New Black

Attention Single Ladies! Do your eyes involuntarily roll to the back of your head and do your find that your teeth automatically make this sucking sound when your girlfriend’s Facebook status goes from “single” to “in a relationship?” Do you get downright nauseous when you see that little red heart and the words “(So-n-so) is engaged?” Do you find yourself just wanting to throw up every time she refers to her boyfriend as “My Fiancé” (instead of, “Do you know what that mu@#!! did?”) Do you secretly wish that you could pull a lever and a safe would fall out of the sky and crush your friend every time she refers to him as, “My huuzzband,” and they ain’t even married yet!

Well Ladies….it sounds as if you have caught a case of the” 1JH virus.” You have become, “One Jealous Heffah!” Make like a coupon and “Cut It Out!!!” This is not the time for you to hate on your friend, this is the time for you to be happy for her and share in her joy. Even if deep down inside you don’t feel like being happy for her…it’s OK…take the higher, classier road and act like you’re happy anyways! Read the rest of this entry »

Check the track list after the jump.

sdigemz words

Valentine’s Love Mix put together by the homie Snugg Digemz III. I heard this mix in the early stages and the selections were on point…. eclectic but in the pocket.. check out his description below.

This is a mix I put together with that warm fuzzy feeling you get in your stomach in mind. This is the sound my heart makes (laser sound effects included) when my brain makes the mistake of falling in love :-P . Forward this to a loved one (present, future, or past) as a small free gift for Valentine’s Day (just don’t tell them it was free, say you paid for it on iTunes or something), or listen to it and pretend I mixed it just for you (because I really didn’t, I mixed this for ALL to enjoy!). I’m going to withhold on a tracklist this time, just listen to it. Crack open a bottle of wine or light up a serenade joint, cuddle up next to a special someone and enjoy.

Tracks are from a Josh and a Beth, a Sam and a Vashti, a J. and a J., a Michael and a Lauryn (now I’ve already revealed too much), and much, much more.
