DJ Ridym - RnB Sessions 18

We've got some jazz influenced RnB from UK artist Tom Misch, Syd, Gwen Bunn and some hard hitting lyrics from Bilal and the Roots. Guitarist Sonny Dumarsais is reminding me of Luther Vandross' Don't You Love Me for some reason. Thundercat's melodic feline themed track puts us in the mood for more with Wanya continuing the theme with the hook curiosity never killed no cat of mine (see what I did there!)
Two from awesome super group August Greene which is a collaboration of the artists Common, Karriem Riggins and Robert Glasper, expecting more collabs like this in future.

This should hold you for the weekend even if the weather don't!

DJ Ridym - RnB Sessions 15

Happy New Year people and welcome 2018!

This year begins with an hour long RnB session full of goodies varying in flavours so hopefully it will keep you interested while you plan your new years resolutions.

As usual we have artists from both the US and UK. Carl Thomas/Kanye and the Jack Herrera make the cut for this mix as well as UK's Etta Bond who we're looking out for her 1st album hopefully this year fingers crossed. Also from the UK are Mabel ft. Koju Funds and Stefflon Don with their huge dancefloor bangers. 

Broken beat provided by messrs Dego & Kaidi as it's been a while since I played one from their stables I thought this catchy B-line should start the ball rolling. Jay Z's big track from his album 4.44 plus some new material from some long-in-the-game artists such as Talib Kweli, Miles 'Lumberjack' Bonny and Amp Fiddler. 

Big props going out to Rhapsody for her album 'Leila's Wisdom' as definitely one to check out also.
