Craig David Jams On Streetwise Radio

Who is Craig David? Is what I said, when I was asked to write a blog for Streetwise Radio. He is a singer, songwriter from the U.K. who rose to fame in 1999 with the single, "Re-Rewind" by Artful Dodger. Craig has released three albums, Born To Do It in 2001, Slicker Than Your Average in 2002 and Following My Intuition in 2016. Craig David has a style all his own. His music has that up-tempo R&B feel. The songs he sings have you thinking about life. Songs like, “Ain't Giving Up” and “All We Need”. Here are some more songs that I’m feeling, “One More Time”, “Change My Love”, “All The Way” and “Fill Me In”. If you have been sleeping on this artist like myself, Wake the Heck Up! From his first album to his latest Craig David has it going on. Tune into Streetwise Radio and listen to his songs.

The End of Live365 and the Rebirth of the Newer and Better Streetwise Radio

RIP

Hey! All you Streetwise Radio listeners we are newer and better, we will be streaming live on demand music on our own server. The reason for this is Live365 is no longer on Internet radio, as of January 31, 2016. Streetwise Radio was with Live365 for seven years. In those seven years we had over a million and a half listeners, all over the world. Countries like of course the U.S.A., Czech Republic, Canada, United Kingdom, France, Netherlands, Australia, Jamaica and Kuwait to name a few. Thank you Live365 for the years R.I.P.

http://www.forbes.com/sites/hughmcintyre/2016/01/30/pioneering-internet-radio-service-live365-is-closing-this-weekend/#68c363f166c5

The idea for Streetwise Radio came about from DJ Michael Ealey’s brother Roger. He had an Internet radio station call Subsonic Temple. Michael decided to name his station Streetwise Radio after his Courier Service. Streetwise Special Delivery. In the beginning our listener ship was a few. It started to grow with the tweets and the blogs on the artist we play. Playing underrated artist was a boom to the stations appeal.Now with the new player and server from Cirrus of Securenet, you will be able to jump from song to song or with just a click in on demand mode or solid stream mode like traditional Internet radio. Your old favorite shows will be coming back with the similar schedule soon. Press the menu button and you will be able to chat with other listeners, get the news, weather, entertainment, traffic, sports, flight tracker and games. Coming soon will be live video streaming from concerts and artist interviews. If you have a mobile device with Android operating system, or iPhone a smart phone app is being built.  Our host server Cirrus will be helping with ads and sponsors, We would like to thank them for there help. So please be patient while we are under new construction. You can continue to listen to Streetwise Radio on the Ultra Mix on Demand.

Rico Love "Turn The Lights On"

What can I say about songwriter, rapper-singer, and producer Rico Love? I never heard of him, until DJ Michael Ealey told me he was playing him on Streetwise Radio. He’s an alright songwriter/rapper-singer, he sounds a little like Usher or Usher sounds like Rico. Is it because Usher signed Rico as his first artist, to his US Records label. Or is it because Rico wrote some songs for Usher. Rico was born in New Orleans, raised in Milwaukee and Harlem. He lives in Atlanta now. Rico’s 2015 album “Turn The Lights On” is explicit but it has some songs that I really like, “Somebody Else”, “Days Go By”, “Run From Me”, “Bad Attitude” and “The Affair”. Tune into Streetwise Radio and check out Rico Love for yourself. You can also listen to Streetwise Radio on MyGen365, Live365, iTunes and Pandora.

Kristina Debarge

DEBARGE FAMILY TIES
By. Amero
Its officially spring! The flowers and trees are dropping their seeds
spreading their genetic structures ensuring the survival of life. Its beautiful
and complex how the cycle of life works. Families grow and expand and
add to the legacy of the family name. Which is exactly what the Debarge
family continues to do. We all remember the platinum and gold selling
group from the 80’s whose numerous singles kept Motown afloat during the
1980’s. Enter Kristina Debarge a wonderful rose from “the city of roses”
Pasadena, Ca. Daughter of James Debarge, Kristina Debarge is quickly
making a name for herself as a singer. As a child Kristina always wanted to
sing (you think??)but never made it known till she was about 12 years old.
Her father took her to the studio and they recorded their first single
together. A year later Kristina made her national t.v. debut on “American
Juniors”(an american idol spin-off). As the shows youngest contestant( at
13 years old) she wowed fans and made the top twenty which was a great
feat if you ask me. After American Juniors she was introduced to “Baby Face”
 and signed a deal with sodapop/ Island def jam and began working on her
debut album “Exposed” in 2009 which debuted at #23 on billboard's top
200. As if she wasn't busy enough Kristina Debarge's acting career began
in 2012 with the movie “Christmas in Compton”. Then she received the
leading role in Nick Cannons directorial debut called "School Dance" in
2014. Kristina has a single that I like that is called “Radio” which has solid
production and Kristina seems to have a grasp of how to balance making
a single while still being original. Also check out her song “Amnesia” where
Kristina Debarge talks about relationship issues! Kristina is definitely the
next in a long line of Debarges to hit the scene but where are all these
Debarges coming from?? Seriously there's probably a daycare somewhere
with about a hundred of these Lil guys and gals training for their chance
to come out. SMH.. Oh well at least they do have talent to spread around
unlike some of my siblings but i digress. Check out this lovely young lady
Kristina Debarge on The Streetwise Radio Ultra Mix 1am to 12pm, 1pm to 
4:30pm andpm to 10pm pacific time. And remember for all your
delivery needs in the San Jose, Oakland and San Francisco Bay Area 
it's Streetwise Special Delivery. PEACE.

Wordsmith - Gems of Wisdom Feat. BJR (Official Music Video)

Positive Words From Wordsmith. Now playing on Streetwise Radio

Bluey Robinson

Wow! Wow! Wow! Where has he been? I can’t believe I’ve never heard of him until DJ Michael Ealey of Streetwise Radio started playing him. On-air radio stations are out of their minds, they need to do their research on talented amazing artist like Bluey Robinson they need to be heard. Bluey Robinson was born in Sweden and raised in England he is of Trinidadian and Swedish decent. Bluey reminds me of Stevie Wonder with perfect soprano voice and El DeBarge hitting those high notes he is truly talented. He grew up listening to his mom’s record collection that consisted of artist like Bob Marley, The Drifters, UB40 and Jackson 5 and it shows in his music, He is so soulful. I like him a lot. This 20 something singer-songwriter released two singles “Showgirl” and “Coming Back” in 2011. Both of these songs are going on my playlist along with “I Know featuring Ryan Leslie”, “I Know (Studio Acoustic Version)”, “Take A Chance On Me”, “Think of me”, “Gotta Be A Way” and “Beautiful Eyes”. Bluey Robinson is one artist that is so soulful he should go straight to the top. It would be a shame if he doesn’t. You can tune into Streetwise Radio and listen to Bluey Robinson. You can also listen to Streetwise Radio on Pandora, iTunes, MyGen365, Athena365 and Live365.

Ntjam Rosie

I was listening to Streetwise Radio and I heard Ntjam Rosie “I Need”.  I thought this is a song that is going on my playlist. This 30 year old jazz, soul singer and songwriter from Sonkoe, Cameroon is an amazing songstress. Ntjam debut was in 2008 with her album “Atouba” since then she put out 3 more albums, “Elle” in 2010, “Live at Grounds” in 2012 and “At the Back of Beyond” in 2013. Ntjam sound is a mixture of two of my favorite artists Jill Scott and India Arie. The song “At the back of beyond” the title of her 2013 album is a beautiful song. My favorite song “At the Back of Beyond”, “Thinkin About You” and “Love is Calling”. Ntjam Rosie is a beautiful and talented remarkable artist. Streetwise Radio is playing songs from Ntjam Rosie. You can listen to Streetwise Radio on Pandora, iTunes, Live365, Athena365 and MyGen365.

Some Critics Say R&B Music Is Dead

I don’t think so! There are so many great R&B artists out there. What happened to our true R&B entertainers with rich and exceptional voices? Like Stevie Wonder, Patty Labelle, Aretha Franklin, Donny Hathaway Luther Vandross the list goes on. They’re out there; R&B is not dead! New R&B artist are being played on internet radio. The masses except the crap that is being played on the on-air R&B radio stations all over the country. I can’t stand the on-air R&B radio stations; they don’t play enough new artists all they play are the most popular artists that every ones heard of. On-air R&B radio stations are dead to me! Once the masses get tired of the crap that is being played on the on-air radio stations they will turn to internet radio. I like listening to internet radio, because you hear new artists that can really sing. The Dj’s on internet radio don’t have to adhere to the on-air radio station play list they can play whatever they like. My favorite internet radio station is Streetwise Radio the Dj’s play artists that you have never heard of like Melissa Untalon, Esperanza Spaulding, Cleveland P. Jones, Sa-Ra, Sean Oliver, Darrius Willrich, Boog Brown, Ruff Endz and Jeffery Smith. Streetwise radio keeps adding new artists to its playlist, artist that can sing! So when you get sick of the same old crap the on-air radio stations are playing tune into internet radio for some new talented R&B artists. You can tune into Streetwise radio on iTunes, MyGen365, live365, Athena365.

Timothy Bloom-“Til The End Of Time” Video

This video is amazing, Timothy Bloom captures the meaning of true love in this video. The way the words coming out of their mouths while they hold each other OMG! Some People are getting to caught up on the nudity of the video, if they would just sit back and concentrate on the words the nudity doesn’t matter. This is a expression of love, a love that only a few of us will know in our life time. There are some other videos with people with clothes on that come across trashy and really sexual. I think Timothy Bloom did a good job portraying their closeness and vulnerability. I have a feeling this song is going to be use in a lot of weddings. I loved it!

You can hear Timothy Bloom “Til The End Of Time” on Streetwise Radio.

Committed

“Committed” an all-male gospel group from Huntsville, Alabama wins the second season of NBC’s The Sing-Off. They sing acapella with such range and depth it’s hard to believe that there are no instruments in the background. If you missed the second season of The Sing Off you can still see full episodes on-line at NBC’s website.

All of the groups in the show were exceptional this season but “Committed” was outstanding and deserved to win the grand prize: a recording contract and $100,000.

According to the brief history of the group given on the show, “Committed” was founded in 2003 by four high school students at Forest Lake Academy. The group stayed together as they progressed to Oakwood University in Huntsville, Alabama where they continued to perform together. The members of the group include Geston Pierre, Robbie Pressley, Tommy Gervais, Dennis Baptiste, Maurice Staple and Therry Thomas. Although they sing mainly inspirational gospel music they have such range to do a wide variety music which they demonstrated so well on the show.

From the beginning “Committed” was very consistent in their performances with various members of the group taking the lead vocals; the harmonies and booming bass lines were amazing to hear. You can listen to each night’s performance at the NBC website below. My favorite was their rendition of One Republic’s “Apologize”: http://www.nbc.com/sing-off/contestants/season-2/committed.shtml

So, this is a group to look out for and remember you heard it here first on Streetwise Radio - “Committed” – an outstanding vocal group – the next “Boyz II Men!

Streetwise Radio Now Playing "Ganesh-Life is Beautiful"

The Live band Ganesh,is the brainchild of the Sicilian born DJ/Producer,Enzo Ponzio whom with this project has the vision of bringing World class music not only to the dancefloor but also,to all fans of good,original Live music.Enzo calved out a name out for himself in the fashion metropolis of the world, Milano,after he decided to leave his place of birth,the sundrenched Isle of Sicily where he had already been well known for his trail blazing Dj sets since the late 80's when it all began to take an the fashion Metropolis of the world,Milano.After arriving in Milano he soon became very popular with his blend of Electronica/Nu-jazz/Broken-beats and Funk in many fashion bars in Milano including the exclusive Rialto club,where was the Resident Dj. With the assistance of Carmelo di Grande on keyboard’s including Rhodes and the Clavinet with other talented Italian musicians they brought together Ganesh’s debut album “Sopra la Soglia” released in December 2002 through Scenario Records.The album was a mixture of Nu-jazz/Bossanova/Broken-Beats/Electronica and Funk, upon it’s release it put Ganesh firmly on the map as one of the many fine connoisseurs of Nu-jazz in the whole of Italy next to top artist’s like Nicola Conte also from Italy. In the beginning of 2005 Ganesh hooked up with the dance DJ,Peppe Pappalardo who also Dj’d in many fashion bar’s in Milano including The Yguana. While still working with Carmello di Grande they started work on their second album ”Club 21”. While working on “Club21” Enzo became one of the Dj’s on the German radio station,Radio 42. His show the “the Blue Set” a mixture of Nu-Jazz/Electronica/Funk/RnB and other abstract beats brought him respect not only in Italy where he is loved but also abroad. After hearing a track by the South African born singer,Marlon Cherry who was based in the U.K on Radio 42, Ganesh made plans to get him involved with the group not only to lay down vocals on Club21 but also to write and perform in English for them, which so took place and within some time they had completed Writing,Producing and Mixing the second album “Club 21” in their Milano Studio,with all the components of the band firmly in place.

Sadly at the end of 2005 DJ Peppe passed away inspiring the group to write the the third album "Life in Beautiful" which they not only dedicated to their fallen soldier,Dj Peppe but to life itself! The track "Brother we really Miss You" was written in memory of his life and times with the group. Dj Peppe's passing left an empty void in the group but with their partner’s spirit in their heart they persevered,then wrote and produced their third studio album “Life is Beautiful” which they have dedicated to the Life and times of their fallen Brother,DJ Peppe.
