The Nu Soul Cypher

Elijah Bland is no stranger to the show. For the Record has been in rotation every episode since he graced us with his presence. Since then, there was a celebration at B.B. King's, acting roles, gracing the cover of Polyphony Magazine and Elijah taking his place as The One, as he stars and directs the music video of the same name. There's so much to catch up with Elijah on and we look forward to chatting about everything in store for Elijah like his Adinkra House performance on Apirl 16.

As always do not miss MJ's #30MinutesofMusic to open the show and then the Jersey take over commences with Q-man, T. Mitch and our special guest, The One, Elijah Bland!

There isn't much to say as we join the rest of the world in morning the death of Prince Rogers Nelson. This show will be full of music, sharing and love. Today we remember Prince!

We welcome The Elle back to the show, a soultry song writer from Minnesota now hailing from Brooklyn. The Elle brings to you her latest project, Soul Art Music. Described as a journey through womanhood exploring themes of pain, love and relationships, this project has been said to "transports old moments to happier places we can all look forward to." - The Conscious Tip. The 90's inspired album uses sample from Zhane and other artists of yesterday to bring forth feelings of nostalgia to when you first fell in love with a mate and music. We look forward to once again being in awe of this artist as she explains why she wears a Halo but is able to speak about The Other Side as well.

MJ's #30MinutesofMusic will feature songs from then and now from The Elle as Q-man and T. Mitch prepare for another comfortable stroll into the land of soul!

No matter where you stand on the authenticity or quality of music today, these past two weeks have given you reason to stand up and voice your opinion. Janet Jackson cancelled her tour to start her family with her husband and some fans were not happy about it. NWA was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and T. Mitch is confused. American Idol (finally) closed up shop! Meanwhile, the hip-hop community continues to mourn and celebrate the life of A Tribe Called Quest member Phife Dawg as the video for his latest released single 'Nutshell" is in mass distrbution. 

Join us for a look back in the world of music and of course a review of Batman v. Superman with our resident caped crusader! Oh, and of course your favorite R&B/Soul and Classic Hip Hop music!

Once upon a time not long ago when people wore pajamas and lived life slow...music was the voice of a community. Whether delivered in bars or in ballads there was always a Message (broken glass everywhere) in the music. But today, when you hear Brownstone telling you to "say it" it in the background of a heart breaking song from an album called Trap Soul. Rappers are no longer the news anchors for the hood but instead are the sole manufactures and distributors of the products that destroy it (trap). Now black music is black music and its all good. We are not salty that she's with the Boys in the Hood but the music no longer seems to carry the soul or the message it once did. Join us as we have a real discussion on the current state of music with our musically versed hosts!
