NxWorries feat. Snoop Dogg & October London [2024] - FromHere [Stones Throw Records]

The latest single from the forthcoming sophomore album "Why Lawd" (following "Yes Lawd" (2016)) by NxWorries is "FromHere" which features Snoop Dogg and October London.

NxWorries is duo Anderson.Paak and L.A. based producer Knxwledge (Glen Earl Boothe) originally from New Jersey.

The album drops on 14 Jun (and will be available on physical media the week before on 7 Jun). This is the fourth track pre-released following "86Sentra" (3 Apr '24), "Daydreaming" (18 May '23) "Where I Go" feat. H.E.R. (19 Oct '22).

The new single is based on a sample of T.I.M.E.'s "How Would You Like It Baby" (Jam-Rock JA / Tropical sound Tracs UK 1975). T.I.M.E. (The Incredible Musical Experience) was a Jamaican band who recorded half a dozen singles between 1975-78.

The album will feature other guest appearances from Charlie Wilson (Gap Band) and of course .Paak's latest protégé Rae Khalil as well as Thundercat, Dave Chappelle and Earl Sweatshirt.

The supporting music video depicts Anderson as a forlorn lonely figure in a club after a relationship breakup with Snoop Dogg giving is his philosophy at the end. October London supports with falsetto harmonies.

This is top notch soul music and an epic production that 'should' get plenty of airplay if there's any justice.

Snoop Dogg [2022] - Metaverse: The NFT Drop, Vol. 2 [Real Talk Entertainment] (Full Album)

Snoop Dogg dropped a new album last week "Metaverse: The NFT Drop, Vol. 2" which it seems many of us missed. Unlike his last, it is predominantly what we've come to expect from the dude i.e. hip-hop, but there are a couple of soulful tracks. 

The first is "Hotline" featuring once again October London with the second being "Paid My Dues" which features an incredible uncredited female vocalist. With a bit of digging I discovered that it is actually the same song as "Cold Game" released in 2011 on "Doggumentary" (included below) and features Latoiya Williams. The song samples "Gilly Hines" from Mandrill's 1978 album "We Are One" which is were the 70's vibe comes from!

I considered just posting those tracks as apart from "Sunshine (Covid Song)" and the R&B track "Live How You Want" (with an uncredited male vocal) the remainder is all hi-hop.

Snoop Dogg [2022] - Snoop Dogg Presents Death Row Summer 2022 [Death Row Records] (Full Album)

"Snoop Dogg Presents Death Row Summer 2022", as you would expect, is predominantly hip-hop but there are a number of good soulful tracks. In particular one of last year's selections of the year with Stokley "Jeopardy:Verbalise" from last Sep.

Each track has a featured artist and my picks of the bunch would be "Touch Away" feat. October London, "Everybody Watching" feat. Raphael Saadiq and Miguel, "Mulholland Drive" feat. October London and Latoiya Williams (which is very Marvin Gaye'ish), "World Go Round" feat Uncle Chucc, "Put You Thru Hell" feat. Minnie Merda, "Wait A Minute Baby" (a doo-wop throwback) feat. Raphael Saadiq, October London and J-Black and finally "Runnin" feat. HeyDeon.
