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

Anderson Paak - Tints Ft. Kendrick Lamar

“I got way too much to lose, so roll your window up real quick
I need tints (windows tinted) I need tints “

-Anderson Paak

When I first heard tints, I liked it.  When I watched the video, I LOVED it. Sometimes the visual can just...enhance things.  

Now, I’ll be honest, Anderson Paak and Kendrick Lamar can do and have done no wrong in my eyes.  So I was waiting patiently for this release. I’m so glad it didn’t disappoint.

“(I need tint) so I can live with a peace of mind
Without niggas takin' a piece of mine “

-Kendrick Lamar

Swag. No other way to describe it. Most song that make the billboard have some level of it...whether it's your vibe or not. This is one of those songs that epitomizes it for me.  Had to just let this rock a lil before I walk in to the job… bout to do my thing today...and they never saw it coming:-)

6lack - Pretty Little Fears ft. J.Cole

Two albums so far (that I know of) and… I'm still impressed. If 6lack isn't on your daily playlist, we have little in common. There's a vibe but also an authenticity that comes from his songs.  He makes being a fan fun because you know you are going to get quality from his work.

Also, can I just say… J. Cole came with a bag full of style on this.  Really appreciated his syncopation on this beat. He gave the track what was needed.

This is for everyone that knows love takes a certain level of vulnerability.  Embrace the fall...Press play

“Put your lighters up.“ - Kiah

That pretty much sums up the song. I can listen to this track ALL the time..and vibe.  This will get me through the day. Running like crazy but still on cruise control you know? No? Then… Press Play

Can I also just say… I'm very picky with poetry blended with R&B and Rap...while short, she nailed it.  Check her album out entitled “Memo” for more.
