The Soul Mixtape

From the Artist
Being a lover of Soul Music...it was an honor doing this mix for Groovin’ records. To have a label that is devoted to putting out good music is rare nowadays. I hope you enjoy listening to it as much as I enjoyed mixing it. Keep the soul coming Groovin’...you have a fan for life... DJ Jazzy Jeff

Product Description
Just when you had DJ Jazzy Jeff pegged solely as a hip-hop maven, Groovin’ Records jettisons The Soul Mixtape chocked full of nu soul and R&B gems that will rattle your preconceived notions of his skills. But if you’ve been watching his career, you’d realize that this is no sudden move for the Philadelphia native.

From 1987 to 1993, Jeff along with childhood friend and superstar Will Smith were the groundbreaking hip-hop duo DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince. They successfully made the transition to television with six seasons of the top-rated syndicated show The Fresh Prince Of Bel Air. But in 1990, Jeff launched A Touch Of Jazz Productions (ATOJ) as a creative hub largely to foster his love of R&B and soul. After a decade of producing for outside artists, ATOJ introduced what would be its first breakthrough artist in Grammy-winning singer Jill Scott while further tilling the soil of the burgeoning neo-soul movement by introducing such artists as Musiq and Floetry. With 10 million albums sold worldwide and an enviable collection of awards, DJ Jazzy Jeff is definitely a man of many accomplishments. But his accomplishments wouldn’t be complete without feeding his love of R&B and soul via ATOJ. And that love is further translated in The Soul Mixtape.

Featuring 16 lustrous tracks hand picked by DJ Jazzy Jeff and soul music fanatics Teddy and Natalie Esposito, the disc mixes familiar faces (Dwele, Martin Luther, Pete Rock) with the freshman class of soul (Valencia Robinson, Michael Bohannon, Leela James), making for a best of both worlds listening experience. U.K. acid jazz renaissance man Omar duets with U.S. soul matriarch Angie Stone on a remake of the classic 1974 William DeVaughn hit "Be Thankful" while former Incognito vocalist Kellie Sae revamps Aretha Franklin’s 70s gem "Daydreamin’". The disc also contains two exclusive tracks from ATOJ artist V ("She Wants 2 Be", "Broken Dreams") not available anywhere else. DJ Jazzy Jeff blends these tracks with extreme care, exemplifying his passion and love for the genre. That same love also lead him to cross paths with soul aficionados Groovin’ Records, curators of the soul compilation series Neo Soul United (vol. 1-3) and Soul In The City.

The Soul Mixtape marks DJ Jazzy Jeff’s first release with an American independent label.

Intelligently Done.......2007-05-22

Me'Shell continues to impress me with her work! She is a true artist at hand. I am upset that I didn't know this experience when this album came out. This is more confrontational than her debut project, and I fell in love with her then! Sistah, keep speaking your mind!

Cookie: the anthropological mix tape.......2005-07-28

Meshell Ndegeocello is a once in a lifetime artist. Brilliant piece of work!

Cutting...edge...hip-hop for adults........2005-04-25

I first heard "Barry Farms" first on KCRW in L.A...then ran out and bought the CD. I am now arranging a cover for my band. Will have to have to give it to our male singer for most venues. I wonder if our female singer would do this one?
Bravura lyrics on the theme of Lesbian relationships, (toasted the ears of this middle-aged white male doctor).
Sensual but sophisticated, in no way obscene. Amazing.
esp. "Barry Farms" and "Pocketbook".
Very stylish jazz twists and turns in otherwise raw, throbbing hip-hop rhythms. First rate jazz instrumentalists.
Michelle's voice is the Anita Baker of street-rap. Hip-hop for adults.
Very, very original material and style.
(The righteous political/ghetto rhetoric on some cuts is sincere but has been done before. She should stick to her wry, I-don't-care ironic style when getting into done-before topics.)
At least 6-8 first rate cuts on this long album. Definitely not for kids, in every sense of the word. Worth every penny. Still amazes me a year later.

It's no "Passion"...but it's better than "Bitter".......2005-02-18

A bass player friend of mine turned me onto Meshell back when "Plantation Lullabies" was released in the early 90's.
I enjoyed it immensely. Then I bought "Peace Beyond Passion"
when it came out a few years later and that album placed her in the musical genius category in my mind.

I imagine it must be hard to compete with yourself whenever you release a stunning piece of work like that...particularly when you are allowing the events in your life to dictate the mood, tempo, and (unfortunetely) quality of your releases.

Meshell seems very angry here. There's nothing wrong with being angry, but when you put anger on a CD you have to know whether or not the audience wants to hear your anger. I didn't.
I just want to hear her kick out some nice groovin jams as she did on her first two CD's. The bitterness she exibited in her last release was even harder to listen to...what was it called? Oh yeah..."Bitter"!

There are a few of examples of nice groovin' jams here.,but much of it is overwhelmed with her anger. Being more of a jazz fan I listen to instrumentation first, arrangements second, then maybe lyrics last. Sometimes I don't even care what the artist is singing about as long as I dig the instrumentation and the songs have a nice groove and the album has a seminal flow.

The songs on this CD are too overwhelmed with politics, spoken word interludes, sound bites, etc. to allow you to focus on the music. I really hate when artists do that. Meshell, leave these tactics to Janet Jackson and gangsta rappers...your music is strong enough on it own without resorting to gimmicks.

If you are really into knowing what Me'shell is "feeling", then you will probably enjoy this CD more than I did. Meanwhile I'll just pop "...Passion" back in my car CD changer, crank it up, and enjoy her at her musical best.

Pure Funk.......2004-09-24

Cookie is the FUNKIEST...just the right mix of consciousness and pure musicianship. I bow to her bass. It's like that. "Earth" is the TRUTH...Gregoir's harmonica is almost as stunning as the lyrics on that joint. I'm a fan for life. I'm that fan that will buy her music even if she's singin the Popeye's menu. I'm there.

It Just Wasn't Hitten Me.......2007-07-25

I felt this album could have been a lot more neo-soulful. Only three of the songs I have really enjoyed. The rest sounded ok. The beats should be droppin wit some hip-hop, r-n-bish feel with the right amount of jazz. I did not feel that in this album

Beautiful.......2006-11-16

I'm not super familiar with soul but this mix is unbelievable. Just pick it up, you absolutely will not regret it. Valencia Robinson is the highlight for me, overall the mix is really something else. Well mixed, beautiful programming, it's almost too easy!

How Did I Sleep on This?.......2006-04-28

Although DJ Jazzy Jeff has been on the music scene forever, I never really got into him. He has truly earned my respect with this compilation of soul music. There were vocalists on here that I'm familiar with and love, such as Micheal Bohannon, Martin Luther, Angie Stone and Omar, but then he came with some new folks who blew my mind and had me online trying to find out who they were and why I hadn't heard of them. The first song by Ejiay, "Beautiful Lady" is a joint that i play over and over. Josephine Sincere on track 2 keeps it flowing with her "I Like It" (no, this isn't the DeBarge song!) and it jut continues on and on. It even has a shout out to old school Prince with Demien putting a new spin on it with his original song, "Erotic Dreams". There isn't one weak track on this CD and deserves the support of anyone claiming to love real soul music.

Smooth.......2006-04-01

The title sums it up.... Definite must have for music lovers of all taste. Jeff made the best mixtape for chillin on a sunday, just relaxin'. Listen to it you'll know what I mean. A++ all around!!!

Discovered Outstanding New Talent!.......2006-01-25

Having always been a fan of DJJ's work, I bought this CD and was pleasantly surprised that it was more on the R&B vibe than the usual club material. It turned me on to some great new talents I have never heard of. It also includes such acts the splendid teenager Josephine Sincere, and Aka Soula who sounds like Curtis Mayfield. As a result, I bought Josephine's new CD and I love it! I also bought Dwele's based on this album. If you're into finding new discoveries who are better than the standard fare you hear on the radio daily, then this CD is for you. If you're looking for a "house" or "club" record, then it's not.
