One of my favourite indie labels, Duck Down Music is celebrating its 15 Year Anniversary, by putting together a compilation… the twist is, fans of the label can help decide which tracks feature!
There, you’ll find a list of the top songs released through Duck Down, beginning in 1995 through 2010. Fans can vote for their favorite song from each year. The song with the most votes from each year will be highly recommended to be included in the final album track listing.
Voting will end June 1st.
On July 13th, just after INDEPENDENCE DAY, the collector’s item will be made available strictly as a physical CD. Fans can expect unique packaging in honor of this historic album.
NYC Heads… To celebrate the release, Duck Down is taking over BB KINGS in NYC (237 West 42nd Street) with a night of music featuring performances by:
Boot Camp Clik Featuring Sean Price, Buckshot, Smif N Wessun

I’ve had this track on repeat since I first heard it, and I’ve finally got a minute to blog it!
‘Go Girl’ is the second single from Detroit’s very own Frank Nitt, taken from his forthcoming ‘Jewels In My Backpack’ EP, featuring Problem and produced by Terrace Martin.
Available to download on iTunes right now… keep you eye out for the EP due to drop on May 25.
Loving this video too, really works with the song and compliments Frank’s unique, laid back style. If you’re not too busy checking the ladies in this video, be sure to look out for a few familiar faces in there too!
Frank says: “The Go Girl record is a fun, sexy record that is really about strong, intelligent, uplifting and beautiful women,”.

Here’s the new single from Lupe Fiasco off his upcoming album ‘Lasers’. The new album is his third LP and rumoured to be his last. If the single is any indication of how the album will sound, it’s going to be a classic.
Released earlier this month, Alex Beats’ first album is like a mixture of Flylo, Samiyam, Jneiro Jarel & the sinister Dilla beats from Jaylib. Incredibly original, futuristic & inspired production. Check out his website here.
