Cali representative Azuré recently dropped the music video for his song “Ice Cubes” featuring some funky production that makes use of sounds similar to Quincy Jones’ “Ironside”. I’m liking the decision to keep the video in black and white, it helps the lighter colors (like the ice) pop off the screen a little better. Az continues to drop strong material, this guy is too often overlooked.

Southern Hip-Hop fans should be happy to know that one of their biggest representatives, Jackie Chain, has a new promotional single out called “Parked Outside”.

If you’re into fly whips, then you’ve come to the right place. On his latest promo single, Alabama repper Jackie Chain (a performer at DJBooth.net’s recent ATL Indie Fest showcase) and Houston heavyweight Bun B give listeners a look at what they’ve got Parked Outside, flowing over the slow-rolling sample work of Booth fave Big K.R.I.T. This joint isn’t attached to any forthcoming project, but fans can, of course, keep it locked for all the latest from the Southern buzzmaker.
Clara C’s Music To Be Played in Saks Fifth Avenue
According a tweet by Clara C herself, she has landed a deal with retail chain Saks Fifth Avenue to have her music played in their stores. Classy music for a classy store if you ask me.

So if you find yourself in any of their locations and hear her music, let us know – drop us a comment or hit us up on twitter!
Next time your in a Saks Fifth Avenue store listen to the music. You may hear one of my songs! =)—
