Most people probably have not realized that they have been grooving to the sounds of 88 Keys, but believe it or not its true. Producer, emcee, and Long Island native has produced tracks for my hubby Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Macy Gray, Musiq Soulchild and Consequence. He's homies with Ye and is a fan of Ralph Lauren (its reported that dude owns over 700 purple label polos) and I wouldn't put it pass him. He released his debut album Death of Adam in 2008, which received rave reviews from Billboard magazine. Although, its several months after the release of his debut album he is still relevant because he just shot the video for my Jizammmm "The Friends Zone", which I bet a lot of you fellas out there can relate to. Here's a lil sneak peak of the making of the video provided by VIMBY. Enjoy!

J*Davey
J*Davey is a peculiar, but talented group that produces an unfamiliar sound that will keep you coming back for more. The group is a duo concocted of Jack Davey and Brook D'Leau. Can you guess who's who? Well, they're not who you would assume because the female's name is Jack and the male name is... Yes, you got it right Brook, which I find so odd and hilarious, but whatever works. J*Davey sort of sounds like Martina Tobley Bird
who I will write about soon because she is a great artist with a unique sound that was featured on the last track of Common's latest album Universal Mind, "Everywhere" track. Back to J*Davey... Yes, this duo was sort of an accident waiting to happen because they were linked up by mutual friends and then their friendship blossomed into this psychedelic soul group that we now know as J*Davey. Check out the goodies below featuring J*Davey's latest video "Slooow" and "Dirty Peaches" an 88 Keys tracks featuring J*Davey. I guess great artists attract like magnets. dirty peaches ft. j*davey - 88-Keys
