Organized Konfusion - The Equinox (1997)

Organized Konfusion was an alternative hip hop duo from Queens, New York. Though not commercially popular, the duo was one of the most respected and acclaimed underground hip hop acts of the 1990s, largely due to the duo's intelligent rhymes, and the groundbreaking lyricism of Pharoahe Monch.
The group's third album, The Equinox, was released in 1997. The album featured an ambitious concept, complete with numerous storytelling skits. The tracks are pure underground hip hop jewels from the golden era. Dope! Get it.

Cella Dwellas - Realms and Reality (1996)


The Brooklyn duo Cella Dwellas first appeared on a Masta Ace b-side and released their debut "Realms `N Reality" in 1996. "Realms `N Reality" is a criminally underrated album that slipped under the radar upon release but is in my opinion among the best records of its period. The LP is aptly titled--the 16 tracks are split between mystical, abstract songs and hard-hitting boom bap. The tracklist runs an hour long, during which there is not one weak song and every track seems just as good as the last.

Samantha Jade - Broken Pieces

Samantha Jade has something new for us this 2011. It is a new song entitled "Broke Pieces". Enjoy!




Samantha Jade - Broken Pieces Lyrics

first let me start out saying
that i'm sorry baby, but it's over
secondly, let me tell you
that i still love you
if it counts for anything

i can't pretend
that you don't have me
and i can't pretend
my heart's not empty
you have a part of me, baby
oh, you have a part of me, yeah
oh, all because of you

a part of me is missing
a part of me ??
yeah, you left these broken, broken pieces
put it back together again
and make it beat, beat, beat, beat
and make it beat, beat, beat
you left these broken, broken pieces
put it back together again

it's not that hard
living without you
but i can't move on
unless you give me, me
cause that's the piece missing
i wanna love again

now i can't pretend
that this is working
but i won't pretend
that love's not worth it
you have a part of me, baby
you have a part of me, baby

a part of me is missing
a part of me ??
yeah, you left these broken, broken pieces
put it back together again
and make it beat, beat, beat, beat
and make it beat, beat, beat
you left these broken, broken pieces
put it back together again

no, nobody can
not even all the king's men
finish this fairytale
and put us back together
every missing piece is the key
help me, i need to breathe
you have my heart
but now i need to be free

now i can't pretend
that this is working
but i won't pretend
that love's not worth it
you have a part of me, baby
you have a part of me
baby, let me go

a part of me is missing
a part of me ??
yeah, you left these broken, broken pieces
put it back together again
and make it beat, beat, beat, beat
and make it beat, beat, beat
you left these broken, broken pieces
put it back together again

Enjoy this new song from Boyz II Men entitled First love. See links for downloads.

Boyz II Men - First Love Lyrics

[verse 1]
the last kiss we shared, tasted like a wine
sweet and bitter like, our memories
and i long for you to, come right back to me
tomorrow the time will be the same as today
nothing goes on in my heart except your memories
where will you be, and who will you think of...!

[chorus]
you were always gonna be my love
and you should know
even if i fall in love with somebody else
i'll remember to love you taught me how
you were always gonna be the one
and for now, i'll still be singing this love song
for... somebody like you
my first love...

[verse 2]
time after time, baby i tried to forget our life together
but the memories are so so hard to let go
tomorrow the time will be the same as today
trying to hold back the tears when thinking of you
all i want is to be with you once more...!

[chorus 2]
you will always be inside my heart
and you should know
that i wish that i could ever let you go
i know that i love you [?]
now and forever see the one
and for now, i'll still be singing this love song
for... somebody like you
my first love...

[chorus]
you were always gonna be my love
and you should know
even if i fall in love with somebody else
i'll remember to love you to hell
you were always gonna be the one
i'll still be singing this love song
for... somebody like you
my first love...
