[Video] Trinidad Jame$: "Female$ Welcome"
I'll never forget as a shorty the first time I saw Juvenile's video for "Ha" on B.E.T Late Night. It looked like something somebody recorded on a VHS camcorder, the lyrics where unintelligible but the beat was bang'n. I thought I'd never see it again and that disappointed me...WRONG! A year later Juvenile and the Cash Money Millionaires had the whole world saying bling bling.
Fast forward to early 2012 and I see Trinidad Jame$ on the Greedmont Radio video for "Smoke No Mirrors" alongside way to many artists to mention. I automatically see Jame$ as the obvious stand out and I'm carful not to make the same mistake I did more than a decade before. I see TJ pop up here and there alongside Go Dreamer, Aleon Craft and other ATL crooners the rest of 2012 but I did not expect the sudden nuclear warhead of an explosion that was "All Gold Everything" in 2013. Now Trinidad$ got the world wearing yellow gold and sweatin' whoo!
Check below as Jame$ brings his young career full circle and takes us back to his native Trinidad for some Carnival debauchery amongst beautiful women and the dude Duke took the Blue Devil mascot idea from.

Thelonius Martin: "The Fire" (Reprise) feat. Topaz Jones & D-Dand
The Chicago Renaissance is here and King Thelonius is at the leading edge. "The Fire" is another nod towards the Dilla era with a forward progression and a back and forth flow that leaves us wanting more.
