Aloe Blacc shows his versatility with this new song "Very First Time," that he produced, and raps as well as sings on. Enjoy this for now, and look out for the next Emanon (Aloe x Exile) project coming soon.

I've been waiting on this one for a minute now. Stones Throw artist Aloe Blacc is getting ready to put out his next project (fully produced by Exile). If you don't know this man yet, get to know him, because he'll be everywhere in the near future (so best to avoid the late pass now). The L.A. singer/emcee/musician just put out his latest track, "Houston." Be on the lookout for more from Aloe coming soon.
Current Tv recently did a piece on an incredibly talented artist comin' out of L.A. named Aloe Blacc. Find out more about the singer/emcee/musician in this clip with features from Exile, Cook Classics, and U-N-I. After the jump watch Aloe's video for "I'm Beautiful" off of his '06 Stones Throw debut album, Shine Through.
Damn, talk about a monster lineup on this remix. U-N-I's "Beautiful Day" was already one of my favorites from them, but it just got upgraded X 10. Evidence, Big Pooh, Aloe Blacc, Fashawn, Mickey Factz, Theo and Kes Kaos all lend verses to the remix. The song is fire, especially halfway through when the beat switches (2nd beat co-produced by N/A). In other U-N-I news, the video for their single "Soul Hop" will be debuting tomorrow and running all day on MTV2. It looks like it's going to be a real big week for Thurz & Y-O, congrats my dudes.

Along with Miguel, Aloe Blacc is another talented young singer coming from the left coast who has caught my attention. Similarly, 14KT is a new cat who just popped up on the radar and who's LP, The Golden Hour Soundtrack, hits stores next Tuesday. The two link up for this song "Can We?? (Chill Again)." The song is inspired from going through a trying and serious relationship that made it so hard to chill and have fun again with that person (shit, don't I know the feeling). This version is not on the album.
