Visit https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/th... and also check out a preview of the LP. We feature a track from it called "Wasteland" for your pleasure!

Then there's the first listen of a track from Mary J Blige's forthcoming "London Sessions" LP; I'm afraid to say im a bit late on this tune, but nevertheless need to put it on a street sounds mix to give you all the heads up on a great track by the legend that is Steve Arrington and the Karriem Riggins produced "This is a Black Man's Grind"; Gwen Bunn returns (and not a second too soon) with some great Nu Soul in the form of "Without a Doubt".

Add to that the likes of Raheem Devaughn, the return of Rahsaan Patterson and his new O'Jays Sampling track, plus Jazzy Jeff and Slakah, and yyouve got the makings of some great upfront Soul.

Back with you next week, in the meantime youll get some retro goodness from DJ Grizz!
