[EP] Kelsey: A Delightful Sadness
Kelsey first popped up on our radar with the video for her upbeat single "Out Of Sight" featuring RH favorite Chance The Rapper. Yesterday the talented up-and-comer released her debut EP A Delightful Sadness through the Force One Seven label. It's pretty hard to categorize the songstress by genre. Her rich musical background and eclectic taste has shaped her sound into a mix of pop, hip hop and a hint of jazz to make her own lane where she can excel. In A Delightful Sadness, Kelsey brings that authentic style to the forefront as she gives a hauntingly beautiful intro in "10,000 Bombs", challenges her voice in "Love Can Do", showcases her storytelling ability with the smooth "High On Contact" joint, and has a good time with Chano in track number three.
Although the EP is kind of short, it comes as a complete package with every song having its own vibe and emotion, yet at the same time, all of them coming together by the intimacy and meaning behind them, done thanks to Kelsey being completely hands-on while crafting the project. The passion felt through her words become more and more vivid with every line she sings, and as you get deeper into the tape. Go ahead and take a listen below and expect to hear more from her in the near future as she will be performing all around the Chicago area in the coming weeks.

[Video]: Curren$y: "Chandelier"
After giving us a sneak peak to his latest music video late last week, Curren$y is back today with the full visual for "Chandelier" (directed by Brian Petchers). This record is one of the strongest released by Mr. Andretti in a minute, and it's really awesome how they were able to transmit the concept of the song into the camera. 2012 has been a monster year for Spitta, the emcee has released two top-notch albums, three very impressive EPs and a smooth mixtape (which featured the Closed Sessions record "Talk My Shit") in the last few months, all while touring and putting a constant stream of videos promoting his material. It's a damn shame there's still people out there sleeping on him, y'all need to wake up!

Roc Marciano: "Stop Me" (prod. by Just Blaze)
At this point in his career it's been clearly stated that Just Blaze won't ever put out a wack beat. Take for example this new collab with Roc Marciano in which the producer takes a more mellow approach, but still keeps the funk alive with a dope sample. Sadly this won't be on Marciano's forthcoming album, nevertheless, you can cop Reloaded this Tuesday.
