Amen.

"I'm just telling you the basics of growing up with ya friends and becoming the one that made it."

The first thought that I had when I heard this song was "I wish that I was in the studio when this was made." Not just for the rapping, I would have sat through the whole process of putting this beat together. This is that epic "Watch The Throne" kind of production. The whole concept of the song is beyond dope and Meek Mill's flow is....sheeeeesh! A Drake verse never hurt anyone and Jeremiah smoothed it all the way out.

I'm embarrassed to even say how many times I have listened to this song today. LOL. And if you asked me if I'll be listening to it for the rest of the day then I'd say "chuuuuuuurch!" :)

Play Ya Cards Right. Maybe We Could Fall In Love....

"I hope that chivalry ain't dead to you, boy, cuz I'm grown..."

Yesterday, Brandy released her new single with Chris Brown called "Put It Down"...and this is my JAM!!!! She literally did everything right on this song. The production...the concept...the lyrics...her vocals...the Breezy collaboration - the track is HOT. If I was an artist trying to make a comeback, this is EXACTLY what I would have reintroduced myself to the world with.

Take a listen to one of my new favorite songs below:



"But still I'm letting you know I got the sweetest heart. Any man that wants this babe, he gon' have to work hard..."

Les is more baby ;)

Flooded With New Music As Promised :)

I finally got a chance to really sit, write and upload music. Enjoy! (Make sure that you click "Older Posts" at the bottom because all of today's posts didn't fit on the first page.)

Les is More ;)

Come on.

Teyana Taylor HAS to be the most underrated artist of the last few years. She's an amazing vocalist. I honestly don't think that anybody was more excited than me when this girl FINALLY released a full body of work. If you haven't already downloaded her mixtape, do that. This "Come On" track is one of my favorites but she has a lot of hits on this mixtape. I would have paid money for it if it wasn't free :)

Popcaan!

I'm a huge reggae fan so it was easy for me to like Popcaan. I heard the "Raving" track awhile ago and I was HYPE about this "Only Man She Want" song when I first heard it. THEN, I found the remix with Busta Rhymes. Threw that on repeat and the rest is history.


(Only Man She Want Remix)



(Raving)

I think she ready.

Typically, I post music on here that I think stands out amongst all the crap that gets released. It's usually cleverly written, exceptionally produced, or vocally superior in my opinion.

That's NOT what this is. (Except for the "exceptionally produced" part. THIS BEAT IS TOUGH!)

This is a ratchet song that has no valuable message...that I LOVE. I randomly found this track when I was doing a little research to try to figure out who this new Iggy Azalea girl is. I'm a huge T.I. fan, so when I heard that he signed her to Grand Hustle, I had to see what was up with her. When I found the video for this song, I was so surprised at how much swag she has for an Australian chick. So, I watched it again. Next thing you know, the song is stuck is my head. And now I like it.

I don't who the FKi guys are or where they came from. The track is produced by Diplo (the same guy who produced Wale's "Slight Work") and Iggy's verse is OK. But she got a few extra cool points for referencing the movie "Sandlot"...my brother and I watched that a million times when we were little. I guess it was hot in Australia too.

Breathe.

Monica's newest album dropped earlier this week. It's a pretty solid effort. I can't say that it's one of my favorites but I just really like Monica, as an artist and as a person. I went through a period when I didn't really know if I liked her voice but I think that she's back to really singing.  I still prefer the "Why I Love You So Much" version of Monica but this new, grown up, married-to-Shannon-Brown version of Monica is cool too lol.


After I listened to the whole album, this "Breathe" track got put on repeat for a little while. And you already know what that means...Free pass to be featured on the blog! ;)

Can you meet me by the lake? At the park? Or in ya room?

"I don't bore you to death 'cause I adore you."

 

As a Frank Ocean lover, I have to check for him on the Odd Future projects. And although I think Tyler is crazy as hell, I love the way he starts this song. Frank KILLED it. I'm so in love with him. (Which is apparent based on the million other times that I talk about him on this blog.) I actually don't even like the whole song. It has this random silence in the middle of the song and I basically only need the parts prior to that lol
