2. Mack Wilds Radio
Last year Mack, or Tristan, Wilds made his musical debut with his Grammy nominated studio album “New York: A Love Story.” Wilds’ sound mixes classic hip-hop beats with R&B and jazz melodies.
So who’s on his BlackPlanet Radio station? Much like his sound, Mack Wilds Radio plays today’s hip-hop and R&B artists with old school joints from from Lauren Hill, A Tribe Called Quest and many others.
3. The Internet Radio
The Internet is the 10s resurrection of acid jazz. Aside from their search engine incompatible name, The Internet brings a refreshing alternative to trap music and watered down R&B. Relaxing yet spunky, the Odd Future band is heavily influenced by 90s funk/acid jazz artist Jamiroquai andErykah Badu. Enjoy songs from the same artists and more on The Internet’s BlackPlanet Radio for a mixture of soothing soul rap.
4. Cameo Radio
Keeping along the funk theme is Cameo Radio. The 70s band made feel good hits like Candy and Word Up! Cameo Radio is great for family gatherings and or just for listening to fun, feel good music.
5. Dom Kennedy Radio
Dom Kennedy Radio is perfect for the backpack rap fan. With a clean West Coast sound, Dom Kennedy Radio features classic rap hits from Snoop Dog and Tupac with the modern flare of TDE. This station is the chill “head bobbing” playlist playing in the background while you hang with your friends or get some work done.
6. Daley
This enigmatic Brit won the hearts of Americans with his hit “Alone With You” featuring Marsha Ambrosius a few years ago, and his mixtapes and new album “Days & Nights” are full of gems just like it. The soulful Daley is a crooner of love songs and motivation. His amazing vocal talents and songwriting skills attract artists like Maxwell, D’Angelo and others to his BlackPlanet Radio station.
