Ladies and Gentlemen, Olamide Faison

   "The best expression is self expression . The stage is my gun , my songs are the bullets and the people are my targets"- Olamide Faison

Video: Olamide "Dear Lamz" Live at the Bitter End 

( I love this Song!!!)

Jamal Hampton from Imajin is on drums

   I was going to title this blog,  "Hey, do you remember this guy?" but I decided not too. If your old enough to remember the 1999 hit "Shorty (You Keep Playin with My Mind)", watched Sesame Street in between 2003-2005, and haven't been living under a rock- you know exactly who this guy is. This artist was signed to Jive records when he was a member of Imajin, an R&B group from the late 1990s,and now he's on his own making sweet, original music. He's a singer, songwriter, and guitarist from Hell's Kitchen, New York.

 Ladies and Gentlemen I give you: Olamide Faison, 

      Faison's new EP  "Live from The Bitter End" has seven tracks that will make you feel like you've step out of your world and into another. This EP is full of instruments, meaningful lyrics, and Olamide- he's a poet armed with a guitar and a voice worthy of a Grammy. His music will bring chills up your spine, and tears in your eyes. Every song is so personal and heartfelt that you feel like you've met him before- perhaps even shared a laugh or a handshake somewhere in Hell's Kitchen. 

       Whether you live in NYC, the U.K., or some small town "Live from The Bitter End"  brings an energy that you'll only find in The Big Apple. This EP is full of timeless music, and it's practically honey to your ears. Faison is a true talent and I wish him much success. Support Good Music!

Who sings it better?

Prototype by Andre 3000 sung by Siaira Shawn
http://www.siairashawn.com/

Who sings it better?

Siaira Shawn is the singer you haven't heard in awhile. There are no auto tunes, and no studio help to make this girl sound good- She can sang!!! She's the type of singer that makes other singers ( or those who think they are) want to sing. I came across her music on Issa Rae's blog ( The Awkward Black Girl), and I was blown away by this rich sound. Big ups to this natural "sista" and check out her website for more info. I haven't been this impressed with a singer since Chris Marsol; here she is singing "Prototype" by Andre 3000. Personally, she sings it better than he does.

So who sings it better?

Peace and Blessings!

Good Ol Chuck- Apollo

               So Apollo is a good friend of my cousin Chrys ( Roses International Stand Up!!!!), and we met when he came to visit Hollywood, Fl . I think I may have even shared a Black and Mild with this man, but I had no idea he was so talented.  I shouldn't have been surprised though, I mean he is a member of Def Team: Hear Us Out and he's my cousin's friend (ROSES!)- they are all talented.

On a personal level, Apollo is a great person and very down to earth.  His mix tape, Good Ol Chuck is on tweetmysong.com and I highly recommend it. I have never put a wack artist on this blog, and I never will- Apollo is Song Love tested and ADWM approved. My favorite songs on the mix tape are Royal Flush,  Wack Rapper Genocide,  Carolina Bluz- I like ALL THE SONGS ON THERE.  


               I can't compare him to anyone. He doesn't sound like Drake, or Weezy- but with a name like APOLLO you have to be an original. After all, Apollo is the god of music; so if  he decided that he wanted to be a young evolving rapper between the ages of 18-25 he'd choose to be this native of WINSTON-SALEM , North Carolina. The name fits the man. 

Watch this video of Apollo and click the link below to listen.
