video: magnetic man – getting nowhere [f. john legend] (2011)
19 01 2011this was one of my favorite songs from last year. unfortunately, the album it was on was definitely underwhelming. anyway, listen to mr. legend get all smooth on us over some dubby ass synths.

kanye west – eyes closed [f. john legend] (2010)
5 01 2011
this is a good surprise. this cut leaked a few days ago with a quite large amount of dj drops and now we have the CDQ. i’d say lyrically and thematically, the date of this track is probably right after he started recording for MBDTF. the beat leaves something to be desired, and you may recognize the verse from the GOOD music cypher, but the execution here is real tight. and artwork not withstanding the g.o.o.d. friday tag.

27 09 2010everything seems pretty convenient for john legend and the roots. arcade fire is fresh off the fumes of having a superb new album and that huge MSG concert on youtube this summer; john legend and the roots are busy making their promo runs EVERYWHERE and performing on youtube as well. the two seem to cross paths here, as the latter parties cover arcade fire’s 6 minute burner from 2004′s funeral. nothing but great stuff here, folks.

23 09 2010legend and questlove represent the wake up! project on 106 and park in a completely different setting. everyone’s lax and legend talks about passing off his demo to the roots, eventually allowing questlove to have a brand new coaster. more information on the album’s shared, which is always a good thing.

magnetic man – getting nowhere [ft. john legend] (2010)
9 09 2010
being that this is a whole 3 or 4 days old, i’ll take the late pass, but i’ll be damned if i’ve seen it on any blogs worth their weight in cred. UK dubstep/electronic act magnetic man team up with john legend for a total “lolwtf, this is incredible!” moment. the track comes off magnetic man’s upcoming self-titled album, which is set to drop october 4th.

john legend + the roots – hard times (2010)
7 09 2010
i know this record is a covers collection, but it’s pretty terrifying how GOOD these covers are. not sure why they’re “featuring” black thought, but since he’s got a verse on here, i guess it makes sense.
