Georgia Anne Muldrow - “Seeds”

Seeds has been produced in its entirety by hip-hop mainstay Madlib, and marks the first project Georgia Anne Muldrow where she concentrated solely on her lyrics and vocals, while leaving the production to someone outside her close camp. Georgia describes the recording process as being “a very different experience… But I’m very proud of the hut we built and am excited about the release.”

Georgia Anne Muldrow - “FOnkRocker”

The eclectically talented Georgia Anne Muldrow released her latest project, VWETO – the album title means “gravity” in Swahili – exclusively on iTunes today with the worldwide release, both physical and digital, to follow on January 25, 2011. The album is a tour-de-force  when it comes to musical exploration taking on influences from “fOnkrock” and HipHop and runs the gambit all the way down to Piano Space. Innovative and avant-garde, Muldrow’s new album is a breath of fresh air as the songstress and producer continues to push musical boundaries.

To accompany the digital release of the instrumental project, Georgia Anne Muldrow is releasing her first single from the album. “fOnkRocker” goes in hard as the music mimics the tracks title by giving off a heavy dose of funked up base lines accompanied by a fierce Rock ‘N’ Roll vibe. The melodic track incorporates rolling beats – beats fit for both swank underground lounges and clubs. The track embodies the essence of what this West Coast artist has become so successful at: meshing together styles and creating a sound that is fresh and transcendent among any genre.

VTech & Fresh Selects present a surprise Erykah Badu performance @ The Fix

On July 2nd, VTech & Fresh Selects came together to throw its biggest collaborative show yet – a surprise afterparty performance from the one and only ERYKAH BADU at Portland’s most respected hip-hop party, The Fix. Not only was this Ms. Badu’s first show within Portland city limits in years – but it was held at Someday Lounge, an intimate 300-capacity club, which in itself is a rare element to catch the larger-than-life singer in.

Opening up for Erykah was a joint performance from Georgia Anne Muldrow (who has written & produced on her last two albums) & Dudley Perkins, who quickly won over the beyond sold-out crowd and set the pace and energy for the rest of the night, along with DJ sets from The Fix residents, Rev Shines, DJ Kez and Dundiggy.

With the last minuteness of the announcement of Badu’s appearance (the news was only officially announced 3 hours before the venue doors opened to lines around the block at 9 PM) – the buzz and rumors about the show had run rampant around the city. Some questioned whether the show was a hoax or if she would merely show up but not perform at all., etc. So just as all the talk, tension and excitement was reaching its peak, they cut the music a little bit after midnight and Rev Shines got on the mic to announce Ms. Badu as she graced the stage – and the room went ballistic like never before.

Backed by her DJ, legendary producer Rashad “Tumblin Dice” Smith, Erykah ran her set & commanded the eager crowd like a lovingly militant drill instructor – a whistle attached to a custom-made ring and all. She performed 6 or 7 crowd favorites from her last couple of albums and then brought it all to a head with an accapella performance of the very powerful, “Soldier” – and the crowd was right there along with her for every word and adlib. She then exited the stage just as quickly and even mystically as she had arrived, and the party continued well into the night.
