More RnB torch songs this time with Kells channelling some 60s deep soul and straight sangin’ another of his unforgettable hooks (and some typically unforettable couplets). Awesome.

Kells is 100% back on his business and BS. Looks like we can expect another couple of albums this year from the man, and here’s the lead single from ‘Love Letter’, before we get the bound to be epic, ‘Epic‘.

R. Kelly – ‘When A Woman Loves’

Found over at the always dope OnSmash

Visitors to Southern Hospitality will know how much we love us some good old Rap & Bullshit. Sometimes nothing else will do, and by sometimes we mean most of the damn time. However, especially when we’re partying with our longtime homie J.Bo who we’ve collaborated with on this mix. In fact, such an authority on Rap & B. we’re gonna let the man explain himself:

“The long overdue collaboration between J.Bo and Southern Hospitality has been a true labour of love, just over a year in the making… and even now, the only way to agree to a final tracklisting was to start planning volume 2 (and 3!) immediately.  A representation of one of our favourite sub-genres of all, these are the jiggy jams that brought fun and females back to the clubs.  Featuring such luminaries of the genre as Fabo, Jigga, Kells, Luda and Diddy in a musical celebration of all that is trite and trivial, frivolous and flagrant.  If the Fresh Prince is still looking for “a groove that soothes and moves romance” this ‘Summertime’ then here are 22 of em.  Long live “Rap & Bullshit”.”

-J-Bo

So there you have it, couldn’t have put it better myself.

Enjoy!

Basically, the only proof you ever need that you’ve got a major hit on your hands is when Kells remixes your shit! Incredible as ever, with lines like, “Money in the building and you know we do it big/Haters gon’ hate and they ain’t gon’ quit/But I say fuck em with a sandpaper dick”…he’s well and truly back in the building.
