Anderson Paak - Tints Ft. Kendrick Lamar

Albumism_AndersonPaak_KendrickLamar_MainImage1.jpg

“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

Nas - Everything

Dfy3ziQXcAE3T8o.jpg

“When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts/

Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black/”

- Nas

This song...this video...reminds us of who we are.  Powerful. Resilient. Successful. TARGETED. We all know it but sometimes, it can feel too real and too hard to look at.  

Nas,  Kanye and Dream...powerful combination that created a masterful track.  I know the EP hasn’t been for everyone but this song grounds me when the world is a lil upside down. Everything is connected. When it doesn’t feel like it, music paves the way and bridges the gap. This song...is that.

Honestly?  I adore this song.  Not love. Love has been watered down lately.  ADORE. Everyone deserves this song as a reminder so… Press Play

“Dark boy, don't you die

They're just human, let them lie

You just know your world and speak your truth

Let them come to you

For your love and your heart”

-Nas

6lack - Pretty Little Fears ft. J.Cole

6lack-J-Cole-Pretty-Little-Fears.jpg

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.
