The charismatic Teyana Taylor is back with a new LP titled, “The Album”. It’s the follow up to her Kanye West executive produced album, “K.T.S.E.” On “The Album”, Teyana delivers a powerful performance throughout 23 tracks. Some of the guest features include: Rick Ross, Junie, IMAN, Erykah Badu, Quavo, Kehlani, Missy Elliott, Future, DaVido, Big Sean, King Combs & the legendary Ms. Lauryn Hill.

Stated to be the best R&B album of the year so far on multiple sources, I can attest at the Da Gas Block we feel the same exact way about The Album. From track 1-23 it was a very entertaining & enjoyable listen, it feels like classic R&B… Not just by the sound, but how everything came together in such a harmonious rhythm! Teyana Taylor should be very proud of herself with this LP, congratulations!

In the midst of a wild year that features a devastating Pandemic & social justice reform, Superstar Oxnard native Anderson .Paak is back with a sensational protest record, “Lockdown”. Which is produced by J.LBS & Anderson .Paak, the record provides a musical depiction of different situations shown throughout the protest in 2020 for the fallen lives (George Floyd, Breonna Taylor & Auhmad Aubrey to name a few) from police brutality.

The uniqueness of Lockdown is shown through the empowering melody, and warmth of .Paak’s voice, as he croons the cries of the people. Thank you Anderson for your contribution to the movement

Radiating with harmonic hues of love & pain, showcasing the daily fight of self, expressing ones true essence, while poetically remaining true to self is what Silhouette the Poet did on, “The Melodic Trinity Project”.

Los Angeles artist Silhouette the Poet yearns for pure bliss through her poetry on Free, adding “Free to not allow others ruins to disintegrate me, from being able to live”. While tracks like, Catching Feelings & Cloud N9NE, paints an image of sensual healing on a spiritual level, setting up a smooth transition into the idea expressed on, Mind State Traveling.

When Silhouette the Poet arrives to The Melodic Trinity, you can hear the fiery passion roar on the track, as she claims she’s the, “The Melodic Trinity”, flowing into the POV of her childhood self, very powerful piece!

Ode to You, is the perfect closing piece as Silhouette gives glory to her mother! What a beautiful message and record! She expresses her tears as her “Pulse has been extracted from her heart”, proclaiming, “Grey goose is my nurse”… “Rest in Paradise, I know it’s nice”, very heartwarming!

Today’s Jam of the Day is: Da U.A. – Shake Down; an explosive Hip Hop Record from their latest album, “Still Humbled”.

Shake Down opens with a funky bass rhythm, guided by a classical NY style horn loop, that’s met with solid lows for the drums. Da U.A. does a great job flipping off each other’s lyrical efforts for a non-stop head bopping anthem. I love how they left a great portion of the beat at the end to fade out, it reminds me of the Hip Hop I know, that inspired emcees to pen their own thoughts from the music.

Favorite bar: “I’m like Michael Jackson, living life off the wall”
