The Dramatics Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get The Dramatics were another workhorse R&B; outfit from Detroit that spanned a couple of decades, making a couple of chart appearances, including this great slinky example of 70's soul from 1971 that hit #1 and sold a cool million.  Their first studio album was released after a string of singles, and has a laid-back vocal style heavy on harmonizing, similar to the Temptations, but not without its own charms.  The group didn't boast a voice with the chops and charisma of David Ruffin (how often does he come along?), but there ...

None of the four members of the great California rap crew Black Hippy can sing.

Watch it below. (via Nah Right) Letting Schoolboy [...]

Faker">Chet Faker on hype, sex, pseudonyms and why he finds it difficult to play to Melbourne crowds. Words by DOUG WALLEN . This time last year, Faker">Chet Faker wasn’t on most people’s radar.

"Dreams" MP3 from the single Dreams 2011 iTunes BY DAVID RUIZ | Jonk Music Michael Tucker, a Vancouver-based video game designer and producer, makes music as Blood Diamonds. He dreamily approaches dance-centered party music, making lush, somewhat cerebral tracks that manage to groove and bounce through their complex layers. Tucker exercises his ears' compositional ability in "Dreams," released in anticipation of an upcoming EP from his label The Pop Manifesto. "Dreams" combines many of the things that Blood Diamonds does well — it is complex and catchy, orchestrally huge but intimate as well. A far-off marimba operates between the melody and percussion ...

Others like the Temptations, Donny Hathaway, Isaac Hayes, [...]
