Pink Sweat$ - Honesty

Honestly (pun intended) I found this song by accident. YouTube recommend.  If I could see Mr. YouTube right now I'd give him some dap. This song needs to be played at high volume.  

Lyrics...voice...video visuals…I was just...blown away.  So simple yet...left an impression embedded in my mind.

Looking forward to hearing more from Pink Sweat$. Check out his song drama when you get the chance.  It won't disappoint.

Lil Baby ft. Gunna - Drip too hard

This song… is for your swag.

Are you “off” today? Struggling to feel good or… feel yourself #pause

Do you want to feel like the life of the party?  The one they all turn to at the water cooler? The mid-day mood maker?  The boss?

Listen to “Drip too hard”

All jokes aside...this song is fiyah.  Infinite flame emojis. With a week like it looks like I’ll be having...it can’t hurt to have a lil more swag in your...swag :-/

…

…

…You know what I mean:-)

Play it 5 times and call me in the morning. You're welcome...Press play

Royce da 5'9" - Cocaine

Without getting into it… I relate to this song.  Almost too much (minus the happy ending so to speak).  Royce is brilliant on this track. Melodic, deep, inspiring without being preachy… and the song breathed Hip Hop.

I heard the album and was blown away. I heard the song and almost cried.  A notable MC came out last year and had the audacity to say that Hip Hop doesn’t have songs that make you feel like this. I don’t know what’s in his Hip Hop, but mine helped to raise me.  I sure Royce’s last album, Book of Ryan, does the same. Press Play

Solange - Fubu

I...I swear to you I can write about this song.  I can write a blog about this song. I can write a book about this song.  But the best thing is to LISTEN to the song.

“When you know you gotta pay the cost/

Play the game just to play the boss/

So you thinking what you gained, you lost/

But you know your shit is taking off, oh/

When you driving in your tinted car/

And you're criminal, just who you are/

But you know you're gonna make it far, oh/” - Solange

Thank you Miss Knowles for your words.  For this song. This song… is not a song. It should be our anthem.  

“This us, some shit is a must/

Some shit is for us…” - Solange

Elle Varner - Pour Me Ft. Wale

Riding music. OR...Incense in the house while you’re getting ready to get it in...you know what I’m talking about.  Cleaning!

What were you thinking about? ;-)

All jokes aside, I see new Elle Varner and I click.  Daily. Her debut album was amazing.Truthfully, she dropped enough songs to create a whole second album,  If you’re a fan like I am, I’m sure you already have a playlist of them so...add this to the list.

Wale added something nice to the track.  Didn’t overpower the track. Didn’t try to show out for no reason. Really hit a nice groove,

“I arrive in your thighs, put butterflies in your navel

And my eyes getting lazy, that's that high that you give me” - Wale

Today looks like a long one.  So this song came just in time. I’ll be vibing to this at high volume. Press Play

Tobe Nwigwe - SHINE. ft. Madeline Edwards (The Originals)

I hope everyone’s vibe today is THIS song.  Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Past few years I’ve made it my business to celebrate MLK day.  Reflect, realize and remember...never forget. I wanted to find a song that captures that but also one I can keep on repeat.  Tobe Nwigwe makes soundtrack music. Let it play in your car. Turn it up on your headphones. Don’t forget to shine.

Special shout out to Lacresha Berry for putting me in to Tobe last year.  Real friends put real friends on to real music. - Salute

“Don't let them make you colorblind and not adore your skin” - Tobe

Alice Russell - Crazy

You know the song. You know the artist (I hope).  Now meet both of them together. Different.  Powerful. MAGIC.

Low volume or high volume,it doesn’t matter.  This version moves me. Physically. Emotionally.  I hope it does the same for you. Press Play
