Aloe Blacc - You Make Me Smile [Music Video]

Stones Throw representative Aloe Blacc returns to the face of the Earth with a new music video for the track, "You Make Me Smile", off his 2010 album, "Good Things". The album flung Blacc on several world tours last year, even bringing him to Toronto, where the RVS crew got the chance to meet him. A humble artist with a voice like his is hard to come across nowadays, so check out the video below and enjoy!

A beautiful voice, song, and music video to get this week started on the right foot!

14KT Ft. Aloe Blacc - Fourteen [DWNLD]

Aloe shows his rapping skills over this dope 14KT production entitled "Fourteen" talking about his life at the age of 14.

 Aloe Blacc "Fourteen" by 14KT

" 2009. I asked my mans Aloe Blacc to laced this joint for the "Nowalataz" rerelease I was gonna do. I had asked an artist for each song, but I never really heard back from anyone so I ended up not getting the project done. However, Aloe Blacc was the first cat to ever hit me back. I sent him the joint and the NEXT day, he sent the verse back for the love. He wrote about being 14 years old. I appreciate him and thank him for looking out for me. Aloe, you know I got you..whatever you need. Peace. " - 14KT

Charles Bradley ft. Menahan Street Band - No Time For Dreaming [DWNLD]

With the modern revival of both soul and funk with flag bearers ranging from Dam-Funk to Peanut Butter Wolf while stopping at Mayer Hawthorne and Aloe Blacc, it's no surprise to see Charles Bradley release his debut album much along the lines of the latter artists. With sounds that emulate the work of both Mayer Hawthorne and Aloe Blacc, you may believe that this man doesn't bring anything else to the table other than similar sounds but, we ask you to think again. The 62 year old man is releasing his debut album alongside the Menahan Street Band, whom were made famous for their album 'Make The Road By Walking'. Charles Bradley has a voice that resembles the emotional hardships of today's world and although the going may get tough, Bradley 'believes in your love'. This artist and this album is not one to miss as 'No Time For Dreaming' is dropped on Daptones the 25th of January. Grab it, jam to it, and let the sound capture your soul and take you away.
