Calvin Harris - Feels Ft. Pharrell, Big Sean and Katy Perry

Sigh. Every now and then there is a song that is too good. I said it. TOO GOOD. So good it goes OVER the head of mainstream. But PROPS, (insert irregular 3rd person rant here) this video has over 446 million views. What are you talking about? Then why do I keep putting people on to this song?!?!? Probably the same reason why I got put on to this song (shout out to DJ G$Money).  

This song...came out a minute ago…but the vibe is timeless to me. Calvin Harris nailed the sound with a perfect blend of artists. It's pretty criminal how good this song is. So until somebody posts bail...press play.

*okay, that was pretty corny...hate me later

Bas: Lit ft J.Cole

I laugh when people ask me have I ever heard of Bas...  True story, past two summers I would bump Bas in my whip and out of all the artists I do that for, multiple times someone would honk and ask me who is that:-)

"Girl I'm the baker, you surely caking

Stand back, catch my amazing graces" -Bas

An artist on J.Cole's label Dreamville, I hope this brother gets to shine bright.  He's a lyricist and he's from Queens.  Nuff Said.

"You'd be surprised how many truths you can hide in flows

I'm listenin' to this beat with my eyelids closed" -J. Cole

This song feels so good.  Bump it at the end of your day or before.  I'm a firm believer that good music can make you high.  #inhale

BTW - Great use of a Miguel sample...CLASSIC

Leriq: Say you love me ft. Wizkid

I'm a fan of these brothers. A co-worker put me to some Nigerian music and I haven't been the same since.  No lie.  The beats, the flow, the music...it's a game changer ya'll.  So this was the first song she put me on to.  Shout out to Miss Tami -Salute

"Say you love me, Say you love me,

I know you like it how I give it you baby lemme hear you now"

The lyrics on this one are fiyah.  American writers, take note.  Practice the art of syncopation...OR?  learn from Leriq & Wizkid.

"080 tonight tonight tonight tonight, baby baby na you na you na you I wan do, baby I don dey maya for your matter, baby baby I don dey craze"

Expect to hear a lot more from these brothers, they've got mood music down to a science.

Jhene Aiko: Bed Peace ft. Childish Gambino

Shhh...just let Jhene speak...

"What I am trying to say is
The love is ours to make so we should make it
Everything else can wait
The time is ours to take so we should take it"

Sometimes you just have to let the music tell its own story.

"Wake up, wake up
Gotta get this paper, get this cake up
Gotta do my hair, gotta put on make-up
Gotta act like I care about this fake stuff
Straight up"

Anything you wanna add Mr. Gambino?

"Curled up with my head on your chest
It's the best remedy for the pain and the stress
If the world doesn't change then we'll never get dressed
It'll be like this to the kiss of the death"

This song makes wanna chill ad grind at the same time.  So let's...

Stalley: System on loud

Consistency...that's all I can hope for from an artist.  But hey, that's just me.  Some people just want that hit song and forget about the artist until the next time the radio or DJ play the song.   Not me.   That's why I rock with Stalley.

"Boom boom, bang bang, system on loud
Got that boom boom, bang bang, system on loud"

Every mixtape, every album...I know I can expect some heat.  Beats with some soul, lyrics from his point of view.  P.O.V...not THAT'S refreshing.  His album OHIO makes you feel like you can close your eyes and get a sense of what it's like living there. I respect that.

I just needed to drown out the world for a bit...every feel that way?  Didn't take long for me to find what I needed.  If you do play it, just keep it on high volume.

"I don't wanna be judged, I just wanna live
This for the genius loners and all my stoner kids"

The Underachievers: Star Signs / GENERATION Z

I'm not even gonna hold you, I like to like music. But if you know me, you know it's hard for me to become a fan.  That...you have to earn.  One album in (that I've heard) and I've been genuinely interested in The Underachievers. 

"Raised up deep in the beast
Had a first hand see to the war in the streets
Rely on gripping the heat
And they multiply by getting them kids
That's why I'm speaking for peace
Cause niggas be dying over the beef
But please don't fuck with the gods
You gon' be surprised by what you gon' get"

Today I felt likea bit...unnerved.  Like I'm being underestimated or taken for granted.  That only makes me become greater so I welcome that.  I say all that cause I came in ready to post "Generation Z" but came across a video compilation with "Star signs" so I figured...what the hell, I like em both!  Check these brother out ya'll...you won't be disappointed.

Nas: You know my style #TBT

This double album got so much rotation on my day to day playlist.  Love this album!...okay okay, lemme settle down. Street's Disciple is one of those under rated Nas albums that I argue often was one of his best.  The whole mood on the album gave off a feel of royalty...this track was no different.

"Don't talk, just hold your breath
Been here a while, s'only one nigga left
And all'a y'all know my style
I spend dough but I still let it pile" -Nas

I listen to this song and feel like I can handle whatever comes my way.  I hope that makes you feel that way today...Enjoy Ya'll
