Here at HighBreedMusic we’d like to wish Don Cornelius Love, Peace, and Soul as he enters...

What’s not to like about Shaharah?
Whatever that mysterious “it” factor is…she’s got it in abundance. She can sing, she can dance, she can sing and dance at the same time without missing a beat and make the entire audience fall in love with her. Her live shows are crazy hot! So…we’re sharing some of the goodness ;)

It’s a rainy, rainy day out there but with great music, who cares about the weather?
Today’s music to refresh the soul is…the dopeness of L.A.’s Sid Sriram. Oh, two awesome L.A. artists in a row? Coincidence? I think not.

Visiting the Breeding Ground
After four months, I made it back to Brooklyn from Montreal. I dropped in to see my homies @ the HighBreedMusic headquarters. Walking up to the building all I can remember is the insanity of the evacuation in June! The building looks great, the studio looks fantastic. Sadly my bed has turned into a storage for drums :( Highbreed’s renovations have made the studio more cozy and inspiring than...
