Welcome to Mood Music
...this song makes me happy to embrace adulthood. Not to mention, the video captures the vibe PERFECTLY. Living life, learning while living life, and wishing everyone will just...wake up. But you did...wake up I mean…and sometimes that's enough.
Black...lived past the age of 21...pay my bills...help my fam...inspire people when applicable…live, like, laugh, cry, love…repeat.
Happy New Years….press play.

“And you talking all that shit, now come on
You gonna have to back it up”
If you are a writer...every line, every word, syllable and flow matters to you. You want them to hear it all. To quote one of the greats:
“INHAAALE, my rhyme is kinda fat reminiscent of a whale” –Q Tip
Enter Anderson .Paak…yes, the “new ” R&B artist. Have you listened to his songs?!?!?! His words!?!?! This brother got bars!!! What’s amazing is that everything...from the sound to the lyrics have purpose…cause it is. He has a catalogue to prove it. This brother is gifted.
Now, if you’re a casual listener…you’ll still love him. Beats are fiyah. 1st and last bars of every verse are iron clad…but just hear me when I say “sit with the songs for a while”
It does something to you. The Production/Musicianship is so thorough. Lyrics are shady…yes, oh yes! He meant to do you dirty like that!
“Can't see her with this pitch black Gucci frames on
Let me take these bitches off
Let me get the full scope, hold up
Huh, full screen, HD, let me take another picture”
Just…listen. But if you listen, sit. Cause this shit will hit you hard. I prefer his album “Venice” but “Malibu” is a great follow up. You can’t really be disappointed with an artist that takes his sound this seriously. He’s authentically fresh. It’s surreal. Do me a favor though. Don't say he sounds like anyone. When you realize how long he’s been doing this on stage it can make you wonder if he's influenced others but...I digress. C'mon sun. He’s not new. He’s just new to you. N’ that’s cool. Just stay a while. Inhale.
“Whoa, cool beans, cool beans
That's a whole lot of reefer
Let me help you with the pre-roll”

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!
