Posted | 0 comments

The long-awaited Black Magic mix is finally here! This is the first time DJ Big Jacks has dropped a release of this kind featuring 70 + minutes of modern soul magic from the late 70′s and early 80′s. While certain tracks have been sampled by the likes of Jay-Z, Dilla, and Madlib among others, the focus here is not who has sampled what. Black Magic spotlights the original music itself, as a collection of personal favourites from the era mixed by Big Jacks and created for the lover in you. So without further delay we present to you, Black Magic.

Blue Water Comics will be releasing a Drake comic in 2012.

“What makes Drake such a distinctive creative personality is that he’s not just one thing. His music encompasses hip-hop, rap, old-style rhythm and blues, soul and pop. And he’s somebody whose music is commercial enough that you can actually hear his music on the radio if you search long enough,” says the comic’s author, Marc Shapiro.
