Abdul the Rabbi - 4th Ward AfroKlezmer Orchestra

Artist: Abdul the Rabbi
Title: Abdul The Rabbi

Genre: jazz, soul, rap, orchestral 

I believe this is my first hearing of a rap song that's been dubbed on orchestral-jazz influenced melodies. I'm impressed with both the vocalist and the 4th Ward AfroKlezner Orchestra. Both present exceptional skills in music making. If you want to be religiously inspired, or gain some tips of how to drop a pro rap verse, then check the the below song out. Definitely not something I expected - came as a good surprise.

Thavy Ear - For Your Ears Only

Title: ‘For Your Ears Only’ EP
Genre: rnb, soul, jazz

Label: Hydrofunk Records

Distribution: MGM 

Review:

Thavy Ear captures raw soul — stripped down into rhythm, jazz and hip-hop samples — an emotional and forceful piece which conjures a black and white void of fleeting snapshots for those with broken hearts. Thavy Ear speaks through the persona of a fragile lover, hurling into reflections, thoughts and memories; questioning the world, her past and history.
