    It's been a long while since posting to the list, but some recent cuts
    inspired me to type:

    1) Prince has evolved to a whole new level with his new album "Rainbow
    Children" Very jazzy with an earthy, silky, and "neo-soulish" feel.
    Although I hate comparisons, it seems to be similar to D'amgelo's efforts
    with Voodoo. But make no mistake, this is the master putting together a new
    masterpiece. LISTEN TO THIS ASAP!! Then make your own judgements

    2) Red Star Sounds Nu Soul album "Soul Searchin" - a compilation of "neo/nu
    soul" artists (damn I hate when the industry forces categories) feat Amel
    Larrieux w/ The Roots, Macy Gray, Jill Scott, a phat jam with Erykah Badu
    (Today), India Arie, as well as others. Have only heard snippets and some
    of the songs have actually been released as part of other projects but this
    one disc makes a happy contribution to the CD changer by bringing them all
    together

    3) Speaking of soul divas, Angie Stone's new album "Mahogany" is boiling
    over with smooth flava. It doesn't entirely break new ground but there are
    sure solid grooves on here which should be part of the standard when it
    comes to R&B today.

    4) You can never have enough divas... What about Jill Scott's new double
    album "Experience"! CD#1 (The live set) is simply a live set of her popular
    songs off her debut. CD#2 is that silver plate of tasty appetizers making
    your mouth water for the next album. The cut "One Time", "High-post brotha",
    "Gotta Get Up" w/4 hero plus other remixes.... (Bonus: check out her cut on
    the Isley Brothers new LP-- silky!) Ah yes, I feel some mix tapes being
    made this weekend...

    5) Jaguar Wright! sexy songstress straight out of Philly. Down with The
    Roots Motive crew and major player at the Black Lilly showcase in Philly and
    NYC (if you don't know...betta find out!) Album should be droppin early
    2002.

    I've seen posts asking about where hip-hop is going? Has anyone heard
    Superrappin Volume 2, the various Beat Generation albums (BBE label) put out
    by Pete Rock (Petestrumentals), Marly Marl (Re-Entry), Will I.Am of Black
    Eyed Peas (Lost Change), or Jay Dee of Slum Village (Welcome to Detroit)?

    (By the way if you want to catch a nice dose of REAL hip hop, try
    www.futureflavaonline.com/ which is hosted by Pete Rock & Marley Marl which
    is broadcast live in NYC and streamed over the net every Sunday night)

    Peace!
