L'Usine Music | Raphael Saddiq - Radio

After dropping the classic album The Way I See It in 2008, singer, songwriter, producer and former Tony! Toni! Toné! member Raphael Saadiq is making a coming back with his fifth album titled Stone Rollin’ this March. His first single titled “Radio,” takes the spirit of Motown with a modernized twist provided by Mr. Saadiq.  We love it and can't wait to hear more from this album.

L'Usine Music | The Brothers of Chico Dusty. Big Boi VS. The Black Keys

There's no lack of genre-crossing album mashups, and while most are for-kicks novelty, one definitely worth a listen is SPIN Magazine artists of the Year, the Black Keys mashed with OutKast rapper Big Boi. While I was not a huge fan of the Big Boi's latest album Sir Lucious Left Foot: The Son of Chico Dusty I am loving this mashup and hoping you will too.

L'Usine Music | M.I.A. Vicki Leekx Mixtape

M.I.A. is back after a less than stellar 2010, a string of PR nightmares, a so-so response to her noise-happy, politcally charged, LP MAYA.  Dropping her first mixtape in six years, 'Vicki Leekx' sees the confident Sri-Lankan born MC return to doing what she did so well on previous records. With a fast-beat and relateable tracklist, M.I.A. puts the conspiracy theories in the backseat, and convinces us she remembers the everyday things in life that can still be fun.
