Welcome everyone to the 2nd instalment of my mixtape journey, I must say with nearly 500 downloads the 1st mix was a bigger success than I ever imagined and I thank everyone that jumped on it, so….. ON2DNXT1!!

After the last time I figure it’s only appropriate to get into the music and elaborate a little about what was swirling around in my head when I put this together. I want to give credit to Kelvin for some of the colourful language I’m about to use and nuff respect to the dude, been keeping it real from day one, eloquence personified, ONE LOVE KELVIN!

There are a few tracks on this mixtape that got me buzzing and when I slotted the Martine Girault track into the mix I remember thinking how I missed her live performance on one of the Avenue’s events and I am gutted, the lady is sheer class!  I’ve got my  two flavours of soul in this mix, notice how the beginning of the mix was mellow and soulful (for lack of a better word) and later on it picked up and got a little edgy (Rn’B edgy). From the soulful bit Myron, Keith Washington and Mario simply blew me away. That was music that made me wish I could sing but alas, like most of us, I am vocally inept, so thank God for these cats for putting the silky melody into the rather mundane words we might otherwise say to the special people in our lives. Check out III Frum Tha Soul, I dropped 2 tracks in there from their 1998 self-titled album, it’s tight so I figured if it’s that nice, drop ‘em twice! Nadanuf also slots in nicely with one smooth 90’s hip-hop cut Like It from their ’97 album Worldwide, the transition of that track into I Like from Shiro is the game changer, that track is one of those that stand out for me. This is when the mix shifts gear and picks up the bumping Rn’B edge to it. Mc Lyte spits an amazing verse in that song that launches it into the stratosphere of rare grooves…. she just kills it and it is mind-blowing, awesome track! Earlier I mentioned Martine, Been Thinking About You is a classic; don’t need to say more about that. If you are a bass addict then listen out for the bass dropping on the Whitehead Brothers SRT8 G remix, really got my juices going and I felt that one big time. The Das Diggity Remix from Blackstreet also has thumping bass that drops in the middle of that track; you might need to adjust your sets for that one. Lastly, it would be an injustice if I were to end this without mentioning Jessica, Get to know me, which is the last track on the mix and it is epic, that is the track that best encapsulates this mixtape, soulful and edgy. When you get to the nitty gritty, this mixtape will grow on you, as it has done on me.

Enjoy, and thanks to Mujay, Mister Cee, Kelvin, Swift and Musiq Ave for the pleasure, more soul to you….

Carlos.
