Welcome to Mood Music
Hi. In honor of last week I thought I'd play the song that came on my Ipod right when I was stressed that I didn't post any music. Besides the serendipitous timing, it's the truth with how much I've been working but...aren't we all? Exactly. Enjoy a little King of Pop. Expect some more "Off the Wall" and even some "Invincible" soon.
"You Got Me Workin' Day And Night
And I'll Be Workin'
From Sun Up To Midnight"
That bass-line though!
“You so stupid, you can have the hoes”
My brother put me on to Eric Bellinger. Shout out to CJ but as of late, it’s been me putting him on to fiyah. I’m glad he did though. If Eric Bellinger needed a campaign manager to run for politics I’d get in line. Why? Because he gets it. There is nothing corny about relationships, love, or feeling ONE WOMAN. It’s like Marvel comics destroying Peter Parker and Mary Jane’s relationship for years only to realize people like GROWTH. Sorry for the minute of getting into nerd mode but this smoke and mirrors era of staying a bachelor is for the birds. Now, I love a lot of music out right now so it’s not hate. I’m just asking for variety.
Okay back to Eric Bellinger. Dope beats, amazing song writer (he wrote Fine China. Go back and listen to Fine China. Like…LISTEN. Nuff said) If you’re in a relationship, his songs reinforce your feelings (not that you need it). If you’re not…he makes you want one. Take it from me. What he’s saying is true #lovemademedoit.
“When we at the crib she put on a show
So home is where I wanna be, yeah
It's like you a custom your body was tailored for me
Tell me how I'm gon' say I'm the king if I ain't got no queen
Gotta fall in love”
*Shout out to DJ Mustard on this beat -Salute

Every so often a track comes along that’s so good it transcends the song. Don't believe me? Tyrone is that song. Now, I never dated a female version of “Tyrone”. Truthfully, I feel kinda bad cause Tyrone isn’t the bad guy! He’s actually the good friend that is picking up the deadbeat! But I digress…Erykah made a song perfect for when you need to "purge".
I ain't no cheap thrill
Cause Miss Badu is always comin' for real
And you know the deal
Every-time we go somewhere
I gotta reach down in my purse
To pay your way and your homeboys way
And sometimes your cousin's way
They don't never have to pay
Don't have no cars
Hang around in bars
I know what you’re thinking… the lyrics are cool but I don’t see what you’re saying. That’s the thing…it’s the FEEL. The sound, the pace and the WAY Erykah Badu sings the song…the hook in particular makes you just want to put the song on repeat when you need some house cleaning in your life (metaphorically speaking). A friend, your job, family or a significant other in this case…the energy remains the same. Purge. Getting whatever it is out of your system to move on. Happy belated Ms. Badu. One of the first songs I heard live before the recorded version and still prefer it as the original article. Enjoy ya’ll…and if you are gonna purge…
“You need to call Tyrone
(Call Him)
But ya can’t use my phone”
*Special shout out to Nerissa for sharing her mood! I'm with you sister!
Every now and then you got to give it up for yourself. Now, I'm all for walking humbly but some days you need to walk like you're the man (or woman). This is one of those days and this is one of those songs that take you there. If you know me then you've heard me talk about "energy" and "feel" at least every other day. Well, the energy of this song feels right. The song is to the point with just the right mix of melody and flow with a hook that automatically makes you want to follow along on first listen.
Special shout to DJ G$MONEY for putting out this song with Prince Carter. This track has definitely got me interested in hearing more from the brother.
Follow G$MONEY on Instagram @djgmoney156. Thanks for spinning some mood music -Salute
BRAND NEW SINGLE FOR THE LADIES! #SHELOVESIT SHOUTS TO PRINCE CARTER GOT ALOT MORE HEAT FOR YALL COMING IN 2016 TRUST ME!
I’ll tell you a little secret. Finding good music is like…birds of a feather. They flock together. If you like one artist, do yourself a favor and check out who they align themselves with musically. Enter Roman Gianarthur.
He’s been out for some time but people are now taking notice thanks to a recent Janelle Monae Tour and Jidenna song. All great performers but lately this song has me on cloud 9 during the day. Side note – anyone who is highly sexual will love the content delivered in a class way since no one will automatically assume you’re a perv
Everyone’s music taste is different, and tone means a lot to me when I’m digging an artist. Roman Gianarthur has a voice I don’t expect to get tired of anytime soon.

What's the first word (or words) that comes to mind when you think of Salaam Remi? Producer. Keyboardist. Hip Hop. Strong album? While he's worked with artists like Nas, Fugees, Jazmine Sullivan and Alicia Keys...did you know he dropped an album of his own in 2013? Well this is one of the songs that moves me and on Valentine's day it felt right to give it a listen.
The title says it all and if you are creative, you know what it's like to put NOTHING before your craft. Rightly so. But what happens when someone inspires you so much it just organically happens? I'll tell you what happens...you get this song. N' it's GOOD. The song I mean (the love can be too).
I hope you enjoy it as much as I do.
BTW- Honorable mention to Neyo "Stay" feat. Peedi Crack. Just add them both to your playlist. You deserve it Happy Valentine's Day. ;-)
