Preview Yamama'Nym & PPP EPK
Who is Yamama'Nym? (for the ebonically challenged that's "yo mama and 'nem")
from their site:
Hand picked by Tre Barr (producer/writer) and Dennis Turner (music director/bass player), Yamama'nym, was formed in 2002 as a collective of eclectic musicians and vocalists with diverse musical backgrounds. Combining sultry southern soulful sounds with a touch of uptown Jazz and downtown R&B swagger, healthy servings of soul, and pinches of gospel, Yamama'Nym has been stirring up audiences since their inception.
Listen to their CD "Due Time"
Xan, one of the musical connections I have made through this blog (and a very sweet, poetic soul who keeps me laughing through email) kept a sista on her toes when she asked about them. I had put them on the backburner and probably never would have gotten around to it if not for her. When I asked her to write a few words about them, these are some of her comments, "I like their style ...Kinda like Kindred the Family Soul" "Their transition was nice. From jazz, to R&B, to gospel, etc. They're pretty high in my book right about now". Her favorites are "Celestial Joy", "Beautiful" and "Obsession". Thank you Xan, there will be a pop quiz later, LOL.

Get a behind the scenes look at the Platinum Pied Pipers [ real | wm ] (from okayplayer.com). Their album Triple P was released on May 10th. It's worth picking up.
album description:
From humble beginnings as guests on a Rewind! compilation two years ago to releasing the soundtrack to the summer of 2005 the Platinum Pied Pipers have made many new friends with their on-stage antics and essential new twist on modern hip hop and soul. The dynamic PPP duo is made up of Waajeed, a collaborator with Jay Dee and Dwele and a founding member of Slum Village, and Saadiq a music student of Motown-er Barrett Strong. Their unique sound is both a polished and catchy but also edgy and raw blend of Detroit hip-hop and soul. Guests include Jay Dee, Spacek and SA-RA Creative Partners to the heavily featured home-grown talents of Tiombe Lockhart, Georgia and Invincible.
