Project Alfie

Project Alfie is a English soul singer/ songwriter who is wildly reminiscent of a 1960's lounge singer (think Frank Sinatra or Sammy Davis, Jr.), but with a modern flare to it.  He is heavily inspired by both the 60's and Hip Hop cultures and it shows in every facet of his brand.  Taking from the Hip-Hop influence, he has created and released a self-titled mixtape in which he sampled various rappers including Nas, Kanye West and Jay-Z.  His superb talent and hard work afforded him the rare opportunity to be featured on Universal Records' Compilation R&B Collection 2012.  He is the first ever unsigned artist to be featured on the compilation.  He recently returned home from New York City, where he worked with the Hitmen production team on his debut release album.  He is also working on several tracks with Hip Hop artist Sway.  This is not the last time you are going to be hearing from Project Alfie.  I foresee 2012 is going to be his year.   You can download the Project Alfie Mixtape here.  Also, check out the official video for the track "Beggin", which samples Jay-Z's Dead Presidents, below.

7/27

7/27 is a Hip Hop/ R&B duo representing Nashville, NC.  They fuse a healthy blend of Neo Soul and real Hip Hop, which is such a rarity these days. 

Young Nell (rapper), lists some of his influences as Big L, Cassidy and Nas.  These influences can be heard throughout his verses.  He's what the game has been missing for a while.  He gets much respect from me for that.  As for Kiarya B. (singer), she has an eclectic voice, that is able to adapt to any melody.  She lists her influences as Jill Scott, Lauryn Hill and SWV, all very powerful voices.

Their current single "Disconnect", a track off of their promo LP entitled "Road to Success", was played on the Independent Spotlight on local radio station Foxy 99 and voted #1 requested song.
