John Legend ft. Andre 3000 – Green Light (Cook Classics Remix)

Green Light

The homey Cook Classics is clearly one of the dopest up and coming producers in the game and here’s his latest production: a remix to John & Andre’s insta-classic, “Green Light.”  I had a chance to help make this remix happen and I couldn’t be prouder of the result.  Shout to Joel van Dijk on the guitar and Joe Gonzales on the bass as well…everyone killed it.

If you’re sleeping, Cook came through Sound Session a few weeks back and you can peep the show here.  We played some of the stuff he did with TiRon and Avriel Epps, which is all incredible.  Be on the lookout for more of his beats on projects by Pacific Division, U-N-I, Diamond D, Noah King, Inverse, and more.

5-C’s like what.

Rock City – You Gotta Go Right Now (video)

Posted in Artists, Music Videos on October 2nd, 2008 by Hyphen

Hahaha, I’m not even mad at this.  Rock City redid John Legend’s song of the year contender, “Green Light,” with a nice little twist.  Reminds me of Chappelle’s real life Pretty Woman: “…youuuu need to get the f*ck out.”

John Legend ft. Andre 3000 – Green Light (Afroganic Remix)

That picture never gets old.  Here’s a brand new reggae-tinged remix of John & Andre’s smash “Green Light,” put together by the British Afroganic crew.  Definitely a different vibe than the original, but pretty damn ill.  Check it out:

John Legend ft. Andre 3000 – Green Light (video)

Posted in Artists, Joints, Music Videos on August 22nd, 2008 by Hyphen

Finally!  Here’s the oft-talked about video for one of the best songs of the year, John Legend’s “Green Light” with Andre 3000.  I’m hard pressed to think of a better guest verse on a R&B song than what Dre drops here.  Ridiculous.  Also, you get a quick preview of another track off Evolver, “Good Morning,” right at the end.  Dope ish.

If for some reason you still need this song, grab the high quality wav here and cop Evolver when it drops!

John Legend on Sound Session

Posted in Artists, Interviews, Sound Session on July 12th, 2008 by Hyphen

John Legend

The man, the myth, the John Legend, called into Sound Session this week to talk all about his upcoming Evolver album.  With D’Angelo on his seemingly endless sabbatical, I think John is officially my favorite R&B singer, so it was an honor to have him on the show for a second time.  He dropped back to back classic LP’s (garnering 5 Grammy Awards in the process) and I don’t think there’s another singer making such consistently exceptional music.  If Evolver‘s lead single, “Green Light” with Andre 3000, is any indication, it looks like he’s got another classic on his hands.

We discussed the direction of the project, what it’s like working with Kanye West, his involvement in Barack Obama’s campaign, his own charity work, future projects, and more.  I’ll be airing portions of the interview on tonight’s show, but you can check out the full conversation here:

Be on the lookout for the “Green Light” video dropping in the next few weeks, and I don’t even need to tell y’all to cop Evolver later this year…
