The first artist’s music that I decided to dive into was inspired by my step-father. I informed him of what I hoped to accomplish on my mission and he gave this LONG list of songs and artists that I should listen to. Pops is getting a little older so his memory of album titles isn’t [...]
I’m on a Mission
I always hang with an older crowd and they sometimes make fun of my knowledge of select music eras. Born in the late 80s, my parents raised me on what I consider to be legendary music. Artists such as Otis Redding, Chaka Khan, Earth Wind & Fire, Diana Ross, The Isley Brothers, Frankie Beverly & [...]
Ft. MC LYTE
So not only do I love music, but I am a technology junkie! I had the opportunity to assist in organizing the BlackWeb2.0/TheKeyInfluencer mixer before the Blogging While Brown Conference this weekend. The mixer was crazy cool. Go ahead and add sexy in there too! There was a camera there that created streaming live video [...]
Long Night
by Nelly ft. Usher: From Air Force Ones six years ago to the whack Stepped on My J’z, I have come to the conclusion that Nelly wants a never-ending contract with Nike to receive shoes. From the moment I heard Stepped on My J’z, I thought this man needs to retire. If his upcoming album is [...]
New Record Contract, New Baby, New Show, New CD
My morning routine normally consists of first checking my e-mail while listening to a randomly selected playlist as I get ready for work. There are normally recent songs played and as I heard “So gone over you, you, you, you. Yea. New Monica” I was taken back to the time when this single was the [...]
Throw It Up
by Busta Rhymes ft. Lil Wayne & Ludacris: This is what I think Rick Ross would call ahhhh Maybach Music. This is a good song to ride to. The beat is hard. Not to mention Lil Wayne is a lyrical genius. This man says “Ya don’t want beef, I’ll put you on a diet.” A few [...]
Airtight Ninja
by Andre 3000 & Che Grand: There was a general consensus that The Love Below was better than Speakerboxxx. From someone who was born and raised in the South, Outkast represents success for an unconventional rap group. I know Andre 3k is on a-whole-nother level and I respect his flow and creativity…But, what is this? Even Lil Wayne stated that “You gotta stand out like Andre [...]
Triple Black Room
by Joe: This seven time Grammy nominated singer/producer has recorded his newest single that will most likely be on his upcoming album New Man, which is scheduled to release later this year. This song is classic Joe: smooth, sexy, R&B. It’s a track that I can chill and relax to late at night. I probably [...]
Nobody Knows Me
by Aya: I found this song from a random search I did on YouTube. I have listened to it at least three times a day since then! The artist, Aya, has a smooth, sultry voice that kinda has the feel of Sade. She was born in London and came to NYC at the age of 18 [...]
New Series…Music For Love
A lot of times, the music I listen to depends on how I feel at that time. I’ve been in a neo-soul groove for a while now. There are also days when I just want to listen to classic oldies or new love songs that have a different feel. I’m such an old soul, and [...]
