My apologies for being late on this one, Nando has been tweeting it and go figure that this past week was one of the times I rarely was on the site. Anyways, I am listening now and Nando has some good original tracks and remixes meshed together and I haven’t heard most of them before. So far every time I have downloaded a Nando tape there will be one or two songs on there that I will play repeatedly for several months because of the different ways in which he approaches songs from a production and lyrical standpoint. I clearly slept on this project but that doesn’t mean you have to so check for the download below the break.

It’s been a minute for Nando but he comes back with a new single and the announcement of an upcoming album (see above picture). I was really feeling this track for the beat, especially the bassline. Soulful is not a producer that I have heard before but if he can continually chop up samples like this I would like to hear some more of him. Nando also approaches the mic with a more laid back flow and approach then I am used to hearing and pulled it off well. I guess we should be hearing more in the near future if we got a new album to look forward to so keep checking back with us at B&B for any updates.

EDIT: I wrote this and then saw he just put out his remix of Raheem DeVaughn’s “Bulletproof” too so grab that download and listen to the “Donuts Freestyle” below the break.

I am a little late on this but it is going up anyways. Nando takes a beat from Dilla himself and adds some rhymes over the top of it. We haven’t got a new song from Nando in a minute, or at least it seems that way to me but he has been talking of getting a studio so hopefully he is saving for that and then we get flooded with them. I need to reacquaint myself with the Donuts album though, it is something I have been meaning to do for a while now.

Nando keeps dropping songs on us randomly the past several months and this time he goes in over Lupe’s song “Shining Down”. I never noticed until this song but Nando sounds a little bit like Lupe in his delivery and when I zoned out for a second on the track I almost forgot it was a remix. On a side note, I saw this poster yesterday on his site for Lyriciss’ last show in the DMV before he heads up to my current city of residence, NYC. Get both this song and the flyer for the event below the break.

Nando hit me with his newest song and he had a lot to get off of his chest. He spits about why he has been away for a minute, his new mixtape and a bunch of issues deeper than that.

Same day different shit in my life. Being frustrated about my struggles in life. I hope you ALL take time and listen to the song I put my blood sweat and tears in.

I didn’t know he had a project coming up but when he said Perception is Reality coming real soon I was pleasantly surprised to hear he has something in the works in the near future.

Download: Nando – “Top of the World”

In the past couple days Nando dropped the new video for “Amsterdam” which is a remix of a Peter, Bjorn & John song. I really like the song a lot and it is one of the few that has made it to one of my iPod playlists. I always hear Peter, Bjorn & John and regret not listening to them more either, every time there is a remix I am impressed by whatever snippet of their songs that I hear. Finally I am unsure of the placement of this song but hopefully Nando can update me and I will update this post.

A quick, short video from Nando where he taps into his inner Tribe Called Quest and hops on an a jazzy beat. Wes Felton shot the video and it is mostly effects but pretty good for a short song like this one. I actually would like to see this song lengthened into a the time of a real song but I doubt that will happen. Be on the look out for Nando’s remix of “Amstredam” which he is supposed to drop a video for soon, until then this will have to tide us over.
