I came across this on SoulBounce, one of my favorite music blogs. Eric is one of the most prolific independent artists out…Props to the brother for making great music! The video for his new single “Still” touches your core. Just when you think you’ve the story figured out, there’s an amazing twist at the end that will tug at even the hardest Thug’s heartstrings…if you don’t shed a tear, you ain’t go no soul. Fa Real though, check it out and let me know what you think:

Like what you hear? You can cop Eric’s Music and be sure to request it on Vh1Soul…support indy music!

Take a listen to this kid…The video below is “She Needs Me”. This song reminds me of listening to my discman (how 90’s is that?) as I walk down Manchester to Inglewood High School. It feels as fresh as Tribe or De La did back in the day, but it’s clear that he’s on his own path. Hip Hop might be in good hands after all. Get Kendrick’s music here.
