MAIMOUNA YOUSSEF (a FLY Gypsy Woman)

O.K... SERIOUSLY! I need you to STOP doin' what you are doin' and LISTEN UP! MAIMOUNA YOUSSEF is the TRUUUUUUF! (yes I said "Truf" and not "Truth" :) A gifted vocalist, fly M.C, and a classic songwriter, Maimouna "Luna E" Youssef is what you need in your stereo (TRUST ME, She-Salt wouldn't steer you wrong...)

Her voice is so damn soulful and it will leave you so-full of everything that is real and rich. A star ain't even the word... this sista is a GALAXY. She has been in the game for years. Before now, Maimouna was rockin stages with CIRIUS B (only the ILLEST hip hop band) she formed with her cousin, Omari "Aziz" Forman. Big UPS to CIRIUS B (reppin B-More) Their album, SUBVERSIVE ACTIVITY will be my joint forever. She has also lended her vivacious vocals to the likes of Zap Mama and The Roots (she is featured on "Don't Feel Right"). It will truly take me forever to go down the list, but just know that Maimouna "Luna E" Youssef is the TRUUUF(as I have already stated). Maimouna is currently working on her album.

She-Salt Interviewing Luna E back in 2008


You can say a lot of things, but you sho' nuff can't say I didn't tell you about Maimouna.

Ain't Nothing But A TRAMP!!!!

Remember Margie Hendricks from the Raelettes? The sista who is BLOOOOOWIN on "Night Time Is The Right Time" by Ray Charles? Well...I came across some of her music. She used to sing with a group called THE COOKIES before Ray-Ray and nem' scooped her and her group members up. I have always been captivated by her voice and her GRAWLS!!!!! Whoooooo...they don't make em like this no more :). P.S I LOVE THIS SONG!..."You ain't nothin but a low down tramp" lol...ha ha! Make it PLAIN!!!!!!!

P.S Might I add that REGINA KING played the HEWLLLLLLL out of this role! Whewww...

Ain't Nothin Like the REAL thing baby...

I grew up listening to this man because my momma is a hard body Marvin Gaye fan. Him and Tammi Terrell created some GEMS :) RIP to both of them. Enjoy this Acapella version of "Ain't Nothin Like The Real Thing." No music or further words needed :)

WANT ADS

"WANTED. Young man, single, AND free. Experienced in love preferred, but will accept a young trainee..."

Yeeeeees! Enjoy this joint by Honey Cone, "Want Ads." What a classic! Make it plain sugah! Need something new, put it in the WANT ADS!

"When I'm down, I just draw some Roses..."

GEORGIA ANNE MULDROW=Mad DOPE!

I absolutely LOVE her joint "ROSES". Its so damn FRESH! YEAH!!!!! Her voice is rich. This sista not only writes her own music and arranges it, but also produces her albums as well. Albums? She has several... Peep GEORGIA live...




"ROSES" is also featured on Mos Def's new album, The Ecstatic.

P.S-Drawing Roses (or any flowers for that matter) remind me of Elementary School :) "Reminded of the good times..."
