Nas - Everything

“When the media slings mud, we use it to build huts/

Irrefutable facts, merciful, beautiful black/”

- Nas

This song...this video...reminds us of who we are.  Powerful. Resilient. Successful. TARGETED. We all know it but sometimes, it can feel too real and too hard to look at.  

Nas,  Kanye and Dream...powerful combination that created a masterful track.  I know the EP hasn’t been for everyone but this song grounds me when the world is a lil upside down. Everything is connected. When it doesn’t feel like it, music paves the way and bridges the gap. This song...is that.

Honestly?  I adore this song.  Not love. Love has been watered down lately.  ADORE. Everyone deserves this song as a reminder so… Press Play

“Dark boy, don't you die

They're just human, let them lie

You just know your world and speak your truth

Let them come to you

For your love and your heart”

-Nas

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
