A sweet little tribute to soul legend Curtis Mayfield by Te’Amir. The intro and outro are instrumental only, but i think that’s part of this hommage as well as the soulful singing middle part.

Top Tunes are coming a bit late this month – we had our 7th anniversary this month and we kept busy doing these 8 bday mixtapes for you as well as the new YUM YUM Mixtape “The Dude”. Plus we had some issues with our servers (were under attack) and took us some time to figure that out, but its all good now, you just need to empty your browsers cache or wait for it to be gone in a few. So, hope you dont mind us being late. but here you go with this months Top Tunes Selection. Enjoy

Heavy D tribute – Nuttin but love Cookin Soul remix by Cookin Soul
Even though i have witnessed all of Heavys releases throughout the years, i only really dug this one tune right here. His duet(?) with Super Cat from the 91 Don Dada Album. His Jamaican flow was impeccable. One of the many jamaicans in the then young Ny hiphop scene (Special Ed, Krs One, Latifah and almost everybody else..). Dem no worry we is still to this day a great reggae tune that brings back a lot of nice memories.

Already 10 years went by since one of the greatest R&B singers of all time passed away. DJ Brainchild now comes up with a tribute mix and here`s what he has to say:
“I was a very big fan of Aaliyah, and I always wonder what she would’ve gone on to accomplish had she not been taken from us so early. To pay tribute to her memory and the music she left us with, I put together this mix which features many of Aaliyah’s biggest singles as well as album cuts, remixes, b-sides, guest appearances, and soundtrack contributions.”
