These dudes, man...i dunno how they do it, but they manage to take shitty Pop songs by artists that i hate with a vengeance, flip it completely with a whole new R&B vocal arrangement...and eventually make me LIKE the songs!!! It's crazy. And i should hate them for that, but i don't. 'Cause this group right here is on some complete other next level shit when it comes to their vocal delivery, and when i get goosebumps, it's usually a pretty good sign. I'm not saying they're Boyz II Men, as their achievements will probably always remain unmatched and unreachable for any other post-millenium R&B group, especially with the state of today's music industry...but one thing's for damn sure - they've got what it takes to carry the torch if Boyz II Men ever feel like calling it quits.
May i add that they have already won multiple awards, gained over 15 Million YouTube views, worked with Rodney "Darkchild" Jerkins, and even had hit records on the Billboard charts - yet they're still unsigned!!!! Impressive stuff, i know...but Jesus Christ, will someone give these dudes a break and hand them a record deal already???!!! The fuck is wrong with you labels??!

Ok, now all you modern-day pseudo-R&B Pop-tarts, just back the hell up for a freakin' second!!! 'Cause "Bad Boy's First Lady Of R&B", the legendary Faith Evans is back with a voice that puts you all to shame!!
Yezzir, judging by some of this year's releases, it seems as if real soulful R&B music is finally makin' a much-needed return to sooth and save our ears from all the horrible Electro-Pop crap we've been faced with over the past few years....our male saviours this year, dropping new albums, include Blackstreet, Donell Jones, Case, Musiq Soulchild, Maxwell, Charlie Wilson, J. Holiday, Dwele and Tank, amongst others....and leading the female contenders is the afore-mentioned Faith Evans.

DJ SOULCHILD HOSTS: "The Making Of" SAMURAI's new video clip!

Watch out -Soulcheeezy's about! And this time i'm not armed with a turntable and a nifty hand, instead you'll soon be witnessing me making my debut appearance as a host/presenter, all up in ya face with a mic that looks like a fluffy dead kitten with a pole up it's ass! Yup, testing new waters, baby!
I know some of my international supporters out there are scratching their head and thinking: "Who the hell is Samurai??!". But i'll have you know that he actually happens to be one of Switzerland's freshest and most famous rappers. Samurai and i have been cool for a few years now, so when asked if i wanted to host "The Making Of" his new video "Plastikmeitli", featuring the equally awesome Swiss rapper Bandit, i immediately jumped at the opportunity.
The song "Plastikmeitli" (translated: "Plastic Girl") takes the piss out of bimbo chicks that wear too much make-up, have fake blown-up titties and love a dose of that trusty Botox every now and again to make their lips look like "two sausages". Hilarious! Samurai and Bandit make it perfectly clear that they like their ladies "natural styleeeee".The video features guest appearances by long-term collaborators Rapper/Producer P. Moos and DJ/Producer DJ Freaza, as well as Zurich's one-and-only Scandalous Dancers and Model/Photographer Eda Koyun.
I'll be posting the "The Making Of" video within the next few days, but you can already go and check out the full video clip here:
SAMURAI feat. BANDIT - Plastikmeitli
"Plastikmeitli" is taken off Samurai's awesome brand-new album "Legendär". Available at all big retailers (City Disc, Ex-Libris, Media Markt, Saturn, etc.) and on i-Tunes!!
NEW PHOTO SHOOT: Behind the scenes!

It's been almost 3 years since i last had a professional photo shoot. I know, terrible isn't it??! So my partner-in-crime Jay Montana organized a fun session for the whole BraviRagazzi Entertainment crew (Jay Montana, DJ Soulchild, DJ Bazooka, MC Delinquent & Alain Mutschler) a few weekends ago, lead by a close photographer friend of ours, the lovely Beatrice Vitale.
The magic took place at restaurant Pangea in Basel, simply 'cause we all love the place and its super-swanky, club-like interior. Which of course suits our concept perfectly, since we're Basel City's leading and longest-serving Black Music event management team! "And if ya don't knoooooow, now ya knooooooooowwww, nnnn---"....hell naaaah, i ain't goin' there!!!
The new photos should be ready within the next week, maybe even sooner...but for now, check out this "behind the scenes" video and catch a glimpse of the action...catch me mean-muggin' and gettin' my pose on at 0:50 and 1:56! And pause at 2:44 to see the tongue-in-cheek shot of us taking the piss out of the whole pimp-ish, wannabe-V.I.P. lifestyle by sipping plain mineral water out of our champagne glasses! LOL!!!
BIG THANK YOU'S GO OUT TO:

NEW REMIX: Brandy ft. Craig Mack - I Wanna Be Down (DJ Soulchild's Diggy Down Hip-Hop Remix)

Aaaaaahhh...the lovely Brandy. Not in the sense of looks though, she's never really done it for me in that department. Maybe it's the over-dimensional nostrils, as pictured on this remix cover to the left? I dunno...but i've always loved Brandy as an artist, ever since she dropped the original version of this very track as her debut single back in '94. Oh, and remember the "Human Rhythm Remix" with Queen Latifah, MC Lyte and Yo-Yo - how can you resist boppin' your head to that knockin' beat and that undeniable female street swagga??? That shit was epic!!
Luckily enough for me and to the envy of many, i got to meet and interview this lovely lady in person after her concert out here in Basel at the Grand Casino in May 2009 - she was so nice and down-to-earth, and DAMN!! Did she smell good!! And yes, i was a little starstruck...
Anyways, i gave this classic track a new 90's R&B-flavoured re-rub and called up my homie Craig Mack to spit a verse over it for me. Nah, i'm just playin'! He was actually the one who called me up and begged to feature on one of my remixes. Yeah ok, FINE!!! That was bullshit too!!
