Vince Staples - F.U.N.

aee8d20d98f75c9f52ae97a5ebd8637c.1000x1000x1.jpg

I have a confession… I'm a big fan of acronyms.  It's an efficient way of saying something and getting right to the point.  I feel like this song, not just in the acronym, goes right into it. The concept in the video, the words… Vince minces no words and yet explains it perfectly.

“Don't be lookin' funny when we come up in the store
My black is beautiful but I'll still shoot at you” - Vince

This song, as well as this video, gives me what I need. Lyrics to go, video with a meaning that fleshes out the song even more…yea, this is the song to kick off the weekend:-)

If you need a boost today...don't give up. Press play

This song… is for your swag.

Are you “off” today? Struggling to feel good or… feel yourself #pause

Do you want to feel like the life of the party?  The one they all turn to at the water cooler? The mid-day mood maker?  The boss?

Listen to “Drip too hard”

All jokes aside...this song is fiyah.  Infinite flame emojis. With a week like it looks like I’ll be having...it can’t hurt to have a lil more swag in your...swag :-/

…You know what I mean:-)

Play it 5 times and call me in the morning. You're welcome...Press play

Tobe Nwigwe - SHINE. ft. Madeline Edwards (The Originals)

hqdefault (1).jpg

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

“Don't let them make you colorblind and not adore your skin” - Tobe

Bas: Lit ft J.Cole

I laugh when people ask me have I ever heard of Bas...  True story, past two summers I would bump Bas in my whip and out of all the artists I do that for, multiple times someone would honk and ask me who is that:-)

"Girl I'm the baker, you surely caking

Stand back, catch my amazing graces" -Bas

An artist on J.Cole's label Dreamville, I hope this brother gets to shine bright.  He's a lyricist and he's from Queens.  Nuff Said.

"You'd be surprised how many truths you can hide in flows

I'm listenin' to this beat with my eyelids closed" -J. Cole

This song feels so good.  Bump it at the end of your day or before.  I'm a firm believer that good music can make you high.  #inhale

BTW - Great use of a Miguel sample...CLASSIC

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!

My Love ft. Drake available now https://itun.es/i6SJ6HS Directed by Common Good Produced with the financial assistance of MuchFACT, a division of Bell Media Inc. www.muchfact.ca
