Scolla // Tell Me If You Down



“When love is not madness, it is not love.”
Pedro Calderon de la Barca

Yes, it is Week 5 of The ScollasWebTour Series and someone is in a romantic mood (You?). And with the young up and coming Detroit R&B crooner Scolla playing softly in the background the energy is pure seduction. But this isn’t puppy love nor is it trite infatuation. This is a bonafide grown-ups scenario. You know, where a man has been checking out a woman (or vice versa) and decides it’s the perfect time make a move. Words will be spoken, digits will be exchanged, and time will be spent lavishly. In the end, if all goes well, some slow and smouldering lovemaking will ensue. And it’s no coincidence that this song drops just in time for Valentine’s Day (Mark your calendar Bro), so make your next move your best move: clean up the crib, get some new sheets, purchase some new cologne (I suggest Van Cleef & Arpels Midnight in Paris), make reservations at no less than a 3 star restaurant, and most importantly, introduce your would-be lover to the wet and warm vocals of Scolla. Peace. Continue reading “Scolla // Tell Me If You Down”

Scolla // Take What’s Mine (Ft. Rapper Big Pooh & Big Sant)

 

    “In order to get from what was to what will be, you must go through what is.”Anonymous

What do you when life deals you an unfavorable hand? Do you give up before the hard work you put in bears fruit? Hell naw! You do what my homey Scolla does, you blaze your own damn path. When I look at him and see how far he’s come, and still he’s steady grindin! Still, he keeps his Tom Ford haute couture framed eyes on the prize and pushes quality R&B product to the adoring masses (ladies this means you). With his latest entry, the ATLien, Coop produced “Take What’s Mine” Scolla keeps it real and in doing so, sets the tone for what you can expect from and all future releases. ONLY THE BEST! On this track he brings the heat by showcasing legendary North Cackalacky Emcee, Rapper Big Pooh. And if that wasn’t enough he creates space to shine for Mississippi’s southern gentleman General Big Sant. This track is a holy trinity: substance + rhythm + swag = eminently dope. Peace.

Scolla – Even & Odds (Ft. Quest // D. Julien

Don’t write off Detroit and more importantly one wouldn’t be wise to take its native son Scolla lightly. There is an old mantra, “Work hard. Play Harder.” But in the case of Scolla and what he has accomplished it would seem as if he has changed the mantra into, “Work Hard. Work Harder!” No question Scolla is on a come up and he’s bringing cats with him. On the J. Parker produced Even & Odds track we have more than able-bodied riders in Floridian emcee, Quest and Brooklyn’s own D. Julien to lace this one up with raw truth and beauty galore. And check the Swag bag for your free Even & Odds download via HulkShare or Mediafire. Scolla is finishing up his currently untitled R&B EP so stay tuned I’ll keep you posted. Peace.
