Tierra Whack - Whack World

… I don't know what to say. I'm serious.  I mean. Tierra Whack is amazing. AMAZING. But this...does more. This affects you. Changes you.

Listen to it.  PLEASE. It's a medley of tracks and its visually stunning. So… enjoy. Many times over. Share it, play it, repeat.  Everything about this album screams gold. Take a bow Tierra. Your glow is shining and will change hearts and minds.

I needed to be in my feels a bit today. So when I want that, I go to this video. It's usually pretty hard to listen to just one so I tend to go through its entirety or the 10 minute mark.  It's just a mini movie I can play again and again. Press Play.

Lucky Daye - Roll Some Mo (Official Video)

“And we ain't too high
To see eye to eye
Know you feel the rush
From a simple touch, baby
Roll some mo” - Lucky Daye

My mood. On Sooooo many levels. Ever have the weekend end but you.are.not. ready?  I know I have… This some makes me slow down when I feel the rush

I like this song...ALOT. Vibes for days. I'm hoping to hear more from Lucky Daye. Video Visuals were A1 and saw scenes with the band which...matters to me.  Good music is collaborative in many ways.

Before we click… Can we talk about the melody?!?!? Flowed with the drums...changes rhyme schemes… and the words remained potent. Really digging it.

Don't let the day bring you down y'all… Press Play.

Royce da 5'9" - Cocaine

Without getting into it… I relate to this song.  Almost too much (minus the happy ending so to speak).  Royce is brilliant on this track. Melodic, deep, inspiring without being preachy… and the song breathed Hip Hop.

I heard the album and was blown away. I heard the song and almost cried.  A notable MC came out last year and had the audacity to say that Hip Hop doesn’t have songs that make you feel like this. I don’t know what’s in his Hip Hop, but mine helped to raise me.  I sure Royce’s last album, Book of Ryan, does the same. Press Play

Solange - Fubu

I...I swear to you I can write about this song.  I can write a blog about this song. I can write a book about this song.  But the best thing is to LISTEN to the song.

“When you know you gotta pay the cost/

Play the game just to play the boss/

So you thinking what you gained, you lost/

But you know your shit is taking off, oh/

When you driving in your tinted car/

And you're criminal, just who you are/

But you know you're gonna make it far, oh/” - Solange

Thank you Miss Knowles for your words.  For this song. This song… is not a song. It should be our anthem.  

“This us, some shit is a must/

Some shit is for us…” - Solange

Alice Russell - Crazy

You know the song. You know the artist (I hope).  Now meet both of them together. Different.  Powerful. MAGIC.

Low volume or high volume,it doesn’t matter.  This version moves me. Physically. Emotionally.  I hope it does the same for you. Press Play

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

Prhyme "Courtesy"

“Nowadays, chances are that if you see me throw the match

It ain't to lose the fight, it's to walk away from a burnin' bridge”

Sometimes when you have a rough day you may fold. Shit Happens.  Most times, I’m sure you go down swinging or come out on top feeling like you’re invincible.  This is my “invincible” song right now.  If you know me, you know I’ve been a huge Royce Da 5’9 fan so don’t be surprised if you see old and new songs from him…but I digress.

“Try to cross me without fallin' off, I'm afraid not/

I'm a frayed knot like a draw string/

I'm preachin' to the congregation like I'm Peter, Popoff”/

Production by DJ Premiere makes this collaboration almost unfair. Music to any Hip Hop junkies ear that wants beats AND Lyrics.  The whole album is priceless.
