Terrace Martin, the Grammy®-nominated artist and producer, has unveiled his latest project, Fine Tune.

This release marks the beginning of a collaboration between Sounds of Crenshaw and BMG, resulting in a series of six jazz albums to be launched throughout 2023. Martin serves as the curator and executive producer for all the albums.

The opening track, “Degnan Dreams,” captures the essence of the project, paying homage to Martin’s Crenshaw roots. The song blends tempered jazz orchestration with lively rhythms, featuring the exceptional talents of Keyon Harrold, Justin Tyson, and Dominique Sanders. With a smooth blend of horns and drums, Martin effortlessly leads the ensemble with his musical instincts and undeniable charisma.

The record showcases an impressive lineup of musicians and collaborators, including Cory Henry, James Fauntleroy, Robert Glasper, and Kamasi Washington from Dinner Party. Fine Tune stands as a testament to Martin’s extraordinary curation skills, delivering pure bliss to jazz enthusiasts.

Tyga, YG and Blxst have teamed up for a new single. The trio just released the video for the track “West Coast Weekend”, capturing the essence of the California lifestyle. The single will appear on Tyga and YG’s forthcoming joint project. With beautiful women, classic cars, and a pool party at a Hollywood Hills mansion, the video exudes the trio’s energy and the West Coast mindset. The track sample’s Tupac’s hit “All About You”, adding a nostalgic touch. This summer anthem celebrates the allure of the West Coast culture, with its captivating chorus and carefree energy. The release offers a taste of what’s to come from their collaborative album, promising more hits from these multiplatinum artists and longtime collaborators. Watch “West Coast Weekend” below.

Timothy Cornell Patterson, known professionally as Mozzy, is an American rapper from Oak Park, Sacramento, CA. He is signed to CMG, Interscope Records and Blackmarket Records. He has released six albums during his career.

Veteran singer/actress Melba Moore returns with her new single “It Seems To Hang On.” The singer transforms the R&B/funk classic originally recorded by Ashford & Simpson into a contemporary percussive trap and hip hop-infused R&B hit than can fit into the sound heard on Urban radio today. She reworked the lyrics some, but the theme about lingering aftereffects of a love affair remains. Moore’s long and illustrious career makes “It Seems To Hang On” a good fit for urban adult contemporary while the contemporary production techniques would not make it out of place on outlets that cater to a younger demographic. The constant is the voice. Moore still sounds marvelous. Enjoy.

Happy Birthday
