Pink Sweat$ - Honesty

hitsdd_photo_gal__photo_1469524142.jpg

Honestly (pun intended) I found this song by accident. YouTube recommend.  If I could see Mr. YouTube right now I'd give him some dap. This song needs to be played at high volume.  

Lyrics...voice...video visuals…I was just...blown away.  So simple yet...left an impression embedded in my mind.

Looking forward to hearing more from Pink Sweat$. Check out his song drama when you get the chance.  It won't disappoint.

I hope everyone’s vibe today is THIS song.  Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Past few years I’ve made it my business to celebrate MLK day.  Reflect, realize and remember...never forget. I wanted to find a song that captures that but also one I can keep on repeat.  Tobe Nwigwe makes soundtrack music. Let it play in your car. Turn it up on your headphones. Don’t forget to shine.

Special shout out to Lacresha Berry for putting me in to Tobe last year.  Real friends put real friends on to real music. - Salute

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...

Erykah Badu: Tyrone

Erykah.jpg

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”
