We live for moments like this!! With T. Mitch in law school and MJ getting her Bachelor's degree, we ask the question...what is better than 1 A? That's easy....A+A! This R&B and Pop duo fuses rock into their sound to create an unparelled or duplicated sound. All Things Go says the track is “a bright pop-laced R&B tune that showcases why these two make such a good pair.” We find no reason to dispute that! Join us as we get the Naked truth and welcome A+A into our living room to dicuss their debut EP, LivingRooms!!

The last 96 hours have changed everything we convinced ourselves was our reality. The conversation must continue and we must get on one page. The lines of the Cypher are open to any and everyone to express their feelings and ideas on everything that matters!

Temperatures rising in the cypher and instead of cooling things off, we want to turn the heat up some more. You know that dry Texas heat!! Tameca Jones has got us 'Hot and Bothered' over her latest single and we look forward to talking to her about everything melodic! Tameca has been the lead vocalist of a band and a renonwed cover single. The soul-pop songstress has since released 'Head Over Heels' along with the aforementioned 'Hot And Bothered' from her upcoming EP. You already know it goes down in the Cypher! Join us as we get to know Tameca Jones a whole lot better! As always, don't miss your favorite R&B Soul songs in our #30minutesofmusic playlist!

The Baby Boomers remember where they were when they heard Stevie Wonder for the first time. The Gen Xers know where they were the first time 'The Voice' Whitney Houston belted a tune. The Millenials remember the Writings on the Wall (no matter what T. Mitch says). We promise you, you will never forget where you were when you first heard Sky Colette. Hailing from the West Coast most famous city, this songstress is blending the sounds of the 50's with her new age take on soultry singing. With her latest single "Hey Big Spender' gaining traction coming off the heels of 'Diamonds Are a Girl's Best Friend', we are blessed to have Sky on as a guest before she extends to the outer heavens of stardom. Join us as we welcome Sky to the cypher and get to know her a lot better! As always don't miss #30minutesofmusic in the Nu Soul Cypher!

One of the brightest new voices on the scene....sounds about right for what we do here! It's rare that T. Mitch is taken back by an artist's voice. But he took matters into his own hands to book the amazing songstress Aria Lanelle for the Cypher!  Singing at the age of 4, this military brat has grown up in music. From 'Then to Now' is a reminder that we should all stop and acknowledge our journey. By the end of this show you will know what her name is!

Every so often we get the opportunity to speak to an amazing artist that is a breath of fresh air. It's even more rare that we get to speak with a musician that wields a soultry instrument. Amazing how excited we are to speak with an artist who is also a blues guitarist! Austin, Texas' own Jackie Venson is stopping by The Nu Soul Cypher!! Austin's got no shortage of indie blues musicians whose music sounds great from a coffeehouse stage, but it only has a few who can put together the total package of eclectic, soulful jams and a stridently powerful voice the way that Jackie Venson can."  (Texas Monthly) Jackie was recently named one of the "10 Indie Black Guitarists You Should Know" bySheShreds. Join us as we chat about everything that leads a young woman to the blues and the guitar! As always, the show kicks off with #30MinutesofMusic and then our Always Free host look to put a stop to the Endless War of lifeless music with Jackie Venson!!

A long time has passed since Lydell Williams was guest in our cypher. Like this show, Lydell has grown as an artist and is bringing us new music as he blends R&B with Neo-Soul to give you something to Groove Your Body to! Inspired by artists such as Zap and Rodger, Cameo, Maze and others, Lydell is a soldier to bring back the good old days of classic R&B and Neo-Soul music. The Sound of My Melodies is Lydell's journey with music through its legendary past to bring it to be a beautiful future.  MJ's #30MinuteofMusic will mirror the message Lydell Williams is bringing, looking to the past to shine light on the future!

Elijah Bland is no stranger to the show. For the Record has been in rotation every episode since he graced us with his presence. Since then, there was a celebration at B.B. King's, acting roles, gracing the cover of Polyphony Magazine and Elijah taking his place as The One, as he stars and directs the music video of the same name. There's so much to catch up with Elijah on and we look forward to chatting about everything in store for Elijah like his Adinkra House performance on Apirl 16.

We welcome The Elle back to the show, a soultry song writer from Minnesota now hailing from Brooklyn. The Elle brings to you her latest project, Soul Art Music. Described as a journey through womanhood exploring themes of pain, love and relationships, this project has been said to "transports old moments to happier places we can all look forward to." - The Conscious Tip. The 90's inspired album uses sample from Zhane and other artists of yesterday to bring forth feelings of nostalgia to when you first fell in love with a mate and music. We look forward to once again being in awe of this artist as she explains why she wears a Halo but is able to speak about The Other Side as well. MJ's #30MinutesofMusic will feature songs from then and now from The Elle as Q-man and T. Mitch prepare for another comfortable stroll into the land of soul!

No matter where you stand on the authenticity or quality of music today, these past two weeks have given you reason to stand up and voice your opinion. Janet Jackson cancelled her tour to start her family with her husband and some fans were not happy about it. NWA was inducted in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and T. Mitch is confused. American Idol (finally) closed up shop! Meanwhile, the hip-hop community continues to mourn and celebrate the life of A Tribe Called Quest member Phife Dawg as the video for his latest released single 'Nutshell" is in mass distrbution.  Join us for a look back in the world of music and of course a review of Batman v. Superman with our resident caped crusader! Oh, and of course your favorite R&B/Soul and Classic Hip Hop music!

Once upon a time not long ago when people wore pajamas and lived life slow...music was the voice of a community. Whether delivered in bars or in ballads there was always a Message (broken glass everywhere) in the music. But today, when you hear Brownstone telling you to "say it" it in the background of a heart breaking song from an album called Trap Soul. Rappers are no longer the news anchors for the hood but instead are the sole manufactures and distributors of the products that destroy it (trap). Now black music is black music and its all good. We are not salty that she's with the Boys in the Hood but the music no longer seems to carry the soul or the message it once did. Join us as we have a real discussion on the current state of music with our musically versed hosts!
