Kameron Corvet completely overhauls the 1988 classic Terence Trent D’Arby tune “Sign Your Name,” and makes it his own. Fluent in both English and French, he sings the hook in both languages and doesn’t miss a beat.

Tai Allen from the legendary Vicelounge crew, serves up “Canned Goods”—a deliciously classic tune that makes one reminiscence on the days of good music.

Congo born rapper/musician Baloji is a phenomena in Belgium but often finds himself out of place. “Over there, I don’t feel totally Congolese and here, I don’t particularly feel Belgian.” His latest album entitled “Hotel Impala”—which musically presents the quest for identity—is rich with African Rhythms and references (his styling is reminiscent of 60’s and 70’s Sedou Keita). Although he spits in French, it is obvious to the English ear that his flow is sick. Check out these two videos and let us know what you think.

Super indie-rock producer David Sitek of TV on the Radio and blipster hip-hop star Theophilus London join forces to create the electro-pop hit, “Groove Me.” These two Brooklyn based creatives worked together in the past on Theophilus’ last album and he returns the favor with this feature on Sitek’s group—and debut album—Maximum Balloon. Check out the video for the single and SOUND OFF in the comments section below.

Check the hot underground dance single “I Will Come Back,” by Brooklyn, New York’s own Holy Ghost. Originally a duo—formed by childhood friends Alex Frankel and Nick Millhiser—the act has now transformed into a 4-piece band. If you were so lucky you probably caught the guys on tour this summer alongside the likes of LCD Soundsystem and Chromeo.

New Orleans native singer, Tondrae Kemp moved to New York after the tragedy of Hurricane Katrina. In this music video/short film he comically details the true story of his first apartment in Brooklyn and his experiences with a land lord that turned from cool to crazy. The song entitled “Cool Landlord” is the theme song for an independent feature film that Tondrae is writing and directing about his 2 year long introduction to Brooklyn Brownstone living. I hope that you all enjoy this as much as I did.
