Just checking the new w.w.w. jernt. File under "Grwn/Sxy HH" or "Damn foll you still got a Soulquarian Jones?"

I will ride for it regardless, some nice tracks on there and it gives the car subwoofer a workout. Amusing promo here:

Didn't realise that he had a new joint out. Always has been one of my favourite (new) soul singers.

I've been following Dwele since the debut LP, RIZE (1998). His later output never did much for me, but there are some JAMS on the first joint:

Oh and I'm sure the Strut was up on his MJ "Human Nature" tribute last year. The very end still gives me chills....just perfect:

Rize is amazing. wish Beep Me and the like had come out officially too. his cover of Startin' Somethin is great too.





Subject i didn't really like, apart from The Truth.





Some Kinda... had its moments. Flapjacks, A Pimps Dream. better than Subject overall.





Didn't really like Sketches Of A Man





haven't got the new one





he's brilliant live, saw him many times over the years - the best was in a double bill with Jaguar Wright. they blew everyone away.

Hello friends,





"Truth" is a killer track for me. It's old (2004?), but still quite good.





I also did not know he had new stuff out. Will definitely checkout. Thanks for the heads-up!





Kindly,

always liked this one:











Where to start with this dude? Older stuff? Newer stuff? Knowledge me..

I like Dwele--he has a great voice and more than a few songs I really dig--but sometimes, his lyrics just ruin it for me.





You're so beautiful, more than a man could ever want


Got me looking for Ashton to see if I'm being Punk'd

I would'nt completely discount sketches of a man, after all:

But yeah, prefer his earlier work.

 

[kicks79]

I hear what your saying on the lyrics. He can be kinda lazy sometimes for lack of a better term.


I always thought Subject was his first LP. I'll have to track down Rize.

 

[Beatnicholas]

didn't rize come out on bling 47? can't remember





he's had some good "featurings" as well. one i always come back to - Slum Village - Tainted.





Slept on joint - New Sector Movements feat Dwele - The Sun. Get the remix 12" with the Dwelology and Dwele's motor city remixes on it - both dope.

 

[kicks79]

This was dope.

Also liked the track that he did with Bahamadia Philadelphia. Discogs lists Rize as having no label.

 

[Beatnicholas]

wajeed helped him with rize i think

I agree about his sometimes questionable lyrics, but I'm not sure if he's a bad lyricist as much as a quirky one. I mean, I think it's partly his style, and you can either hate it or love it.





There's a line about MySpace in this one that almost ruined it for me when I first heard this album, but I learned to deal with it:
