J*DaVey @ The Key Club On okayplayerTVOnce you return your jaw to it's usual position, wipe the drool from your chinny-chin, and stop the hubba-hubba-hubba which inevitably emits from your mouth-hole every time you see Jack Davey, take a minute to press play and watch as J*DaVey did their thing at L.A.'s Key Club a little while ago. And yes, your girl looked fine, and so did her hotty partner Brook. But way more than just an attractive duo, J*DaVey prove, once again, that they have something fresh and new to bring to the table with their performance. Watch their interview with okayplayer, followed by three clips of their jams, "Slooow," "Lazy Daze," and "Dollar Or More." Much thanks, once again, to Greg The Dude and Tunji, our West Coast film peeps! Stay tuned for new episodes of okayplayerTV featuring The Roots at UCLA, Pac Div, The Roots Picnic in Philly, and Erykah Badu. J*Davey Interview on okayplayerTV

How do wack performers like this get so much notice?!?! I mean I love the studio work but come on Roots, how can yall back such a horrible live act?!? Sy Smith would walk circles around her. Jimmie Jammes would walk circles around her. If you really think about it, Independent Music, Underground Music, or Neo Soul whatever you wanna call it is becoming just as bad as Mainstream Music because the chosen few control the circle of Okayplayer and Fusicology.

Wow i just learned about them today and already love em !
What i really like about them is their whole approach seems to be directed to a more electronica-manga-indie crowd and is so refreshingly different from your average neosoul stereotype. 4

They have potential. I would check out their cd and check them out if they come to my area. Leave the hypeman though.

Nah, Jdavey is the shit! People who think she can't perform or that her voice is lackluster have no concept of what good singing is!
Jack you rock!! Brook, your beats and rhythms are sick and can easily stand alone without vocals - Obviously Jack excentuates the sound cant wait for the cd to drop! 11

New OkayArtist
The Abstract
Q-Tip
Modern hip-hop and R&B music can both arguably be divided into pre- and post-A Tribe Called Quest, and the musical efforts of its lead MC and producer Kamaal Ibn John Fareed-better known to the world as Q-Tip. Consider the jazzy sampling, laid-back tempos and boho-chic vibe he introduced, then mull over the bohemian posturing and sounds of the neo-soul movement, plus any rap music that shies away from hardcore posturing. All roads lead back to ATCQ and the beats, rhymes and life of one man: Q-Tip. And now the time is ripe for The Renaissance, the Abstract MC's first solo album in nine years. Read more...
