frank ocean // pink matter remix (ft. big boi)

Cotton Candy, Majin Buu and the dirty southern Big Boi.

Not only is the song “Pink Matter,” the center piece of Frank Ocean‘s ‘Channel Orange‘ (my opinion) it is also my favorite of the 17-song debut release. However, now the track reaches greater heights of dope-ability with the added vocal presence of Big Boi (OutKast). This is a must have remix and it can be yours just by clicking here and downloading your free copy. Peace. Continue reading “frank ocean // pink matter remix (ft. big boi)”

frank ocean // wiseman

Frank Ocean is that rare artist inhaling the exhalations of angles’ dreams, then he opens his mouth and the stars weep rivers.

Although I have written extensively regarding the young and super-talented Mr. Frank Ocean, I find myself penning yet another ream of inadequate words in an attempt to describe the magic of yet another gorgeous song titled, ‘Wiseman‘. The official word, is originally the song was supposed to be included in Quentin Tarantino’s deep dirty southern film ‘Django Unchained‘soundtrack. But alas, it didn’t come to pass.  It’s ok though, ’cause we still have this beautiful song released out into the world for us all to enjoy. Peace. Continue reading “frank ocean // wiseman”

frank ocean // bad religion

Did you catch Frank Ocean on Jimmy Fallon performing “Bad Religion”? If you didn’t don’t worry you’re pretty little head off. Click on the Jimmy Fallon link above and you can watch it to your heart’s desire. Just a few more days until the official Channel Orange release (July 17th). By the way, I’m sure you heard Target has refused to carry Frank Ocean’s debut album Channel Orange in its stores? How wack is that? I think it’ll be a great idea to write those folks over at Target a letter. You can check out the official news on BET. Psst! You can also cop it on iTunes before it hits stores. Listen to the track, “Golden Girl” (Ft. Tyler the Creator) after the jump. Peace. Continue reading “frank ocean // bad religion”

frank ocean: steps out of the closet

Frank Ocean is the latest celebrity to proclaim a not so run of the mill sexual orientation. (Read Mr. Ocean’s coming out letter) Less than 24-hours ago Mr. Ocean substantiates claims of his bi-sexuality shortly after a U.K. reporter outed him.  Frank Ocean played his upcoming album Channel Orange for a mix bag of press at a promotional event. The follow trio of songs, ‘Bad Religion,’ ‘Pink Matter (Ft. André 3000) and ‘Forrest Gump’ exude not so subtle references of Frank Ocean loving a ‘he’ and not a ‘she’. What will this mean for the up and coming singer/songwriter? And further, how will fans, and specifically the R&B community react? I guess we’ll find out soon enough. Frank Ocean’s forthcoming album Channel Orange drops in just under 2-weeks (July 17th) via Def Jam. Peace.
