A Side B Side Podcast Episode 301 - Our First Dance w/ Katriece Davis

Happy New Year! I pray your holiday season was safe dodging Omarion, I mean Omicron. In the new we're going to do things a little differently as far as the format of the show so when you press play don't think your in the wrong place because you didn't hear my voice right away. In this episode, Ramsey is joined by his soon to be wife, Katriece whom you've heard on a couple episodes of this show. #RamseySaidIDo is in full effect as we discuss our upcoming wedding and all the music that gets played at such a function. We also decide what'll be playing during our first dance as husband and wife mid-recording session. We also thought it'd be cool to enlist our parents to talk about the songs that played during their weddings way back when.

Listen: S.O.S. - @KALEBMITCHELL feat. @samstanmusic (words by Katriece Davis)

By now you’ve probably heard the name Kaleb Mitchell. With his debut So Help Me God charting at number 7 on the iTunes Hip Hop charts last year, and over 2 million streams on SoundCloud alone he’s managed to grow a very strong and loyal fan base. SoundCloud led me to his 2016 mixtape 45,  but I’ve known Kaleb for a long time. I’m a Morristown, New Jersey native myself, and we grew up in the same church. The influence of our Baptist upbringing was all over his mixtape, 45, in songs like S.O.S and Goliath.

He’s by no means putting himself in a box by aligning himself with Christian Hip Hop. Think  Chance the Rapper, but way less gimmicky. S.O.S is track six on 45 and the song that led me to project to begin with. The sample of GoldLink’s Zipporah peaked my interest,  but his genuine reinterpretation of the song is what got my attention. Kaleb doesn’t stray too far from GoldLink’s subject matter as he also ponders his displacement as a Black youth in America, but he also made it his own by flexing his vocals a little and showing his versatility. Look out for the editor's review of his newest project, MITCHELL tomorrow but for now, listen to SOS featuring Sam Stan below.

A-Side B-Side Episode 002: R&B Album of the Year 2017

It's only right if we did the R&B acts too right?

Which was better in 2017?

— Jonathan C. (@RamseySaidWHAT) January 15, 2018

Enough people asked and if we're being honest R&B in 2017 was superb. So many new sub-genres emerged and we were impressed with how many new artists debuted last year. Listen to KatCandidly and Ramsey talk album of the year on episode two of A-Side B-Side Podcast. Did some of your favorites make the list? Did we miss out on anyone dope? We break it down thoroughly: Lyrics, Vocals, concept, production, and impact are the criteria. Leave a comment below. The music in this episode is Raindrops by Kärma from her Sunny Side Up EP Out Now! I need you to feel this.
