  I know not everyone feels like way about the man, but for many of us, D'Angelo dropping "Brown Sugar" and "Voodoo" and then disappearing for over a decade now is like if Nas dropped "New York State of Mind" and "Illmatic" then dropped off the face of the earth. See more....See more...

  First and foremost, yep, this is the same Rashad that produced Stalley's breakthrough album "Lincoln Way Nights". And yes, the Ohio native is more than capable of standing on his own too, even without the presence of his now MMG-signed, heavily bearded bro. And to prove it Rashad's now delivered his own fiercely original new album, "Museum". Listen...See more...

  I'm not even going to front, I'd like to marry Goapele. (You know, if I wasn't already married. Damnit, looks like I'll be sleeping on the couch again tonight.) As anyone who's seen her live knows, the woman carries herself with a beauty and soul that's impossible to look away from. Yeah, I know, I know, I warned you I wanted to marry the woman.

  Guys, Be Afraid. Jenilee is a “Killa on the Run” (Premiere Listen & Download)

  R&B's definitely taken a turn for the murderous lately. Just a day after Dream became a "Murderer" and a week after Nikkiya got her kidnap and torture on with "Cheater" rising star Jenilee follows her Nirvana x Gucci Mane "Assassin" with the premiere of 'Killa on the Run." Seriously guys - she may look beautiful, but remember, she's also deadly. Listen and download...See more...

  Damnit, I Actually Really Like This Kelly Rowland ft. Lil Wayne “Motivation” (Listen & Download)

  I was completely ready to make this an (almost) entirely lyrical rap day on RefinedHype and post that new Freddie Gibbs joint when the homey DJ Z asked if I'd heard the new Kelly Rowland single, "Motivation" featuring Lil Wayne. More out of curiosity than anything I pressed play...and when I still had the record repeat ten minutes later I was forced to admit I really liked it. Damnit. Listen and download...See more...

  After a handful of classic records, a few collaborations, three mixtapes two record deals, and four different release dates, fans will finally be able to hear her debut album as she intended. The thirteen-track opus titled "Late Nights & Early Mornings" is slated to hit shelves on March 1, 2011. It’s pretty evident why the album was taking so long to be delivered to us -- It takes time to craft such a dope R&B record from top to bottom. See more...See more...

  To say RefinedHype's a hip-hop site would be an understatement, but more than that I'm a lover of music. So when I hear something that I'm digging, even if it doesn't involve a Lex Luger beat and rhymes about selling dope straight off your iPhone, I'm going to post it. Hence this new track from Spree Wilson, "Don't Pass Me By". Hey, if Kanye can sample Bon Iver I can play some Spree Wilson. Listen and download...See more...

  Let's see here. I could post that new OJ Da Juiceman joint, or I could post something that doesn't make me want to slam my head in a car door. Hmmmm....decisions, decisions. Well Senor de Juice will just have to wait, because I'm rolling with Jared Evan's new single, Falling Down, a joint that once again shows his skill at seamlessly blending rock and rap.
