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.

Damian Marley: Beautiful ft. Bobby Brown

"Always have my back she stand true to dat
Real type of loving, thank you for that'

This song...good GAWD!  First of all the album was a 5 mic album.  Let's get that out the way.  On top of that, Bobby Brown was on this track and it was sick!

"Beautiful
Here we go again
My love, you know
I will never let you go
My love
Beautiful
Here we go"

This song is played often.  When I don't want anything to bring me down, this is a go to track.  When love feels right, this is a go to track.  When I want a song that's fiyah, I go to this song! Get the picture;-)

"She is the only Queen, the King is designating
And so mi seal the deal I am negotiating
I know it's kinda deep but keep on concentrating
Cause Jazzy lay di beat and I am clearly stating"

Enjoy ya'll

Majid Jordan: My love ft. Drake

Hey.  Do you like Drake “Hold on, we’re going home”?  Yea?  Me too… How about a whole album of that sound?

Enter Majid Jordan.

“I had an idea in my head
I pictured this going differently
I meant every word that I said
You should have spent more time listening”

Strong singer + strong producer + lyrics typically make for good music.  Fingers crossed it leads to more.  The whole album has a real easy yet intense sound.  It’s definitely a mood ALBUM.  No need to skip unless you want to.

“You got your trophies
I know how you like to show 'em off and shine 'em, and line 'em up
I'm not your trophy, baby
I won't let you show me off or shine me up, or line me up, no”

Today I actually just went to Majid Jordan's album with a need to change my mood.  I'm in a bit of a funk, and maybe not so much looking for these particular lyrics, but the sound itself is a stress reliever.  Hope it helps you too.

Oh yea, Drake is in this song too…Enjoy!

BTW - Majid Jordan was on the song "Hold on, we're going home".  They've clearly got their sound down.  Respect!

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
