Humpday Throwback: The Honey Drippers - Impeach The President
The Honey Drippers dropped this soul/funk classic way back in '73 (38 years later and the title is still relevant). I'm certain there is an artist somewhere out of the roughly seven billion people on earth sampling this beat while you're reading this. Have at it and thanks for listening to another Humpday Throwback Classic!

THE FEDERATION: Cold of the Night ft. Dark Spark (Video)
THE FEDERATION brings you real life rhymes over hardcore beats from the streets of Soweto, South Africa. On Cold of the Night, MrCee, Neon and featured guest Dark Spark narrate a chilling yet worldwide reality and the video brings the viewer to a window looking right into it. After you watch the video below, support independent underground Hip Hop and purchase their 40 track album Hardcore Styles for Street Rap Preservation by clicking on the album cover picture above (hard copies only available in South Africa).

"Humpday" Throwback: Sylvia Striplin- You Can't Turn Me Away
Every Wednesday (aka Humpday for those on their Monday-Friday grind), we will try to provide you with a classic to pay homage to the artists of yesteryear. Today's Throwback is by Sylvia Striplin, a New York based Jazz/ Soul/ R&B vocalist, with You Can't Turn Me Away from her only released album Give Me Your Love, released in 1981 on Uno Melodic Records with the help of the great Roy Ayers. She had such a beautiful voice and I love the funk of this record. Its a shame she only released one album. Enjoy:
