As a hip-hop and rap site, with an information base of rap icon Tupac Shakur, I know all the ‘old’ school type music does not really fit our genre – but remember on Tupac’s track ‘Old School’ it says:

“Nothin like the old school/ain''t nuttin like the old school”

"What more could I say? I wouldn''t be here today if the old school didn''t pave the way" -- [Grand Puba]

Yes he was talking about old school hip-hop; but if you take it back one more step, old school is the R&B era, the mighty Motown era. Back when ‘love’ ruled the air waves. That is the old school I remember and enjoy. I love hip-hop but I also like the ‘respect’ factor that was in old school music.

We have done The Motown Remixed, Curtis Mayfield, Ray Charles and Earth Wind and Fire give aways; all artists with the music of love, when your lady was your lady and not your ‘biatch’. I love hip-hop but I can not listen to rap and hip-hop 24-7. I need that relax time to clear my head, to remember what life is really about and respect the past and to reminisce on days gone past. So when an album comes out that I am feeling and I would like to share with you, it seems we can be blessed with a give away for the album to introduce you to another genre of music.

One of the old school groups I remember, and have seen in the past, is the O’Jays. Eddie Levert Sr. and company could put a show on that would move you. From ballads to dance tracks they always delivered, that’s why this album interests me. This album is what some would call new old school; it has that old school ''feel'' to it.

Gerald Levert, the son of Eddie Levert Sr., like his father is a gifted singer, songwriter, producer and romance facilitator. His new album ‘VOICES’ will be release October 4^th

Thanks to Rhino Records and our friends at Special Ops Media we are pleased to offer Gerald Levert’s ‘Voices’ as one of our current give aways.
