Our homegirl DJ Princess Cut first put us up on this artist from Philly a while back, but it took a minute for us to realize that Santi White is the artist known as "Santogold". Many of us sonically adventurous black people are familiar with the artist Res (pronounced Reese) who released a great album fusing rock, soul, funk, & other genres called "How I Do" back in 2001. Res has performed here in Atlanta many times to sold out shows usually put on by promoter J.Carter through Sol-Fusion. We were familiar with Santi White who wrote alot of the songs that Res performed, but now she has ventured out as an artist herself as "Santogold." No wonder it took us a minute to figure it out, but it shouldn't take you long to realize she has some great material. Maybe more people in the community here in Atlanta need to catch up, because the world is already up on Santogold.

The Philly native & now Brooklyn resident's debut album dropped this past April 2008 featuring the lead single "L.E.S. Artistes". This particular track is the joint that initially got our attention about Santogold & featured an equally interesting video as well. Since DJ Princess Cut & Jayforce put us up on this artist it's only right a few of us later went out & purchased the album as well. Check out Santogold's myspace & the video's below!
