This song… makes me feel like I can acknowledge that life is tough… but I'm tougher. Reminding me of my strength...my worth...and to succeed no matter what.  

I love this song but I think this artist is special...his lyrics...his production...matches the sincerity of his voice.  If you haven't checked out his album...please do

You can't bring me down… press play

Boogie - Self Destruction

Boogie in _Self Destruction_ video.png

Maaaaaaaan!!!! Y'all need to know bout Boogie man.  This guy makes songs with staying power. You csn tell his intent is to LAST! This one is a lil less content heavy but the vibe has purpose. Not to mention his syncopation on the track...100 gun salute!

“Can't remember nothin'
Still don't give no fucks when
Wildin' out in public
This my self destruction” - Boogie

I don't know man...don't underestimate this song. In a lot of ways there are some metaphors that make you look at the fabric of society and see it for what it is. Self destructive. If you think I'm reaching...you don't know Boogie.

Feeling a lil hype today y'all...so if you're like me… Press play

Riding music. OR...Incense in the house while you’re getting ready to get it in...you know what I’m talking about.  Cleaning!

What were you thinking about? ;-)

All jokes aside, I see new Elle Varner and I click.  Daily. Her debut album was amazing.Truthfully, she dropped enough songs to create a whole second album,  If you’re a fan like I am, I’m sure you already have a playlist of them so...add this to the list.

Wale added something nice to the track.  Didn’t overpower the track. Didn’t try to show out for no reason. Really hit a nice groove,

“I arrive in your thighs, put butterflies in your navel

And my eyes getting lazy, that's that high that you give me” - Wale

Today looks like a long one.  So this song came just in time. I’ll be vibing to this at high volume. Press Play

Anderson Paak - Tints Ft. Kendrick Lamar

“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

If you’re ready to see things in the way they are, not in the way you want them to be...Press Play
