Rebelution - So High & Lady in White




So High by Rebelution on Grooveshark

Lady In White by Rebelution on Grooveshark

 Definitely two of my favorite tracks on the new album.  Always seem to get stuck in my head.  Real catchy tracks with simplistic ideas.  I respect the Rebelution crowd, their world views and values can speak to a lot of listeners positively.  Give them a listen!

King Mez - Monte Carlo (Produced by Commissioner Gordon)






These young men can get it.  Local Raleigh talent right here for ya on cHill beats.  Gotta give 'em my NC love.  Also, download and stream King Mez's new album right here: http://www.djbooth.net/index/mixtapes/entry/king-mez-my-everlasting-zeal/

Janelle Monae - Cold War


Cold War by Janelle Monae on Grooveshark

Janelle Monae has been working her little butt off for the Barak Obama Campaign.  Pretty cool stuff considering her music is so freaking good.  Give some love to this foxy lady.

Toubab Krewe - Holy Grail






Carolina Chocolate Drops - Was you ever in Quebec/Cindy Gal


Another crazy banjo rockin' tune from the Chocolate Drops.  No one else can encompass a southern style and culture quite like these folks do.  Really excited to see this whimsical band live again here in Raleigh.  The Carolina Chocolate Drops will be performing at The Meymandi Concert Hall downtown September 21st.

Grizzly Bear - Yet Again


Yet Again by Grizzly Bear on Grooveshark

cHillin track that gets a little trippy at the end.  Enjoy some Grizzly Bear!

DJ Cold Duck - Love, Peace and Happiness Remix (The Chambers Brothers)





Thank you DJ Cold Duck for your remix of "Love, Peace and Happiness"  I think this song sends a message for the whole world to hear right about now.  Real solid sound that can take the listener back in time to a 70s era.  The Chambers Brothers are such an influential, diverse group...show them some love right here on cHill beats.

Alison Krauss & Jerry Douglas - Carolina in my Mind




Good morning to all my Carolinian's.  Turned on this tune to start the day and I got chills. Really wish this was our State song.  Gorgeous rendition done by Alison Krauss and Jerry Douglas, anything they put there fingers on in the music world turns to gold.  Enjoy.
