Sweet Life.

"The best song wasn't the single. But you couldn't turn your radio down..."

Today, I resigned from a job that I didn't love. (Trust me, that was the nicest possible way to state that. Lol) More importantly, I've been hired at Radio One DC. Anybody who knows me knows how big this is. I've ALWAYS wanted to work in radio. That's what I wrote my papers about in high school. It's why I decided to get a Communications degree from Temple University. It's the reason that I did an internship at Radio One Philadelphia (which at this point, is the best experience that I've ever had in my life. Shout out to everybody there!)

Just the thought that someone is willing to pay me for something that I would honestly do for free is beyond me. It's truly the SWEET LIFE.

To make this day even better, one of my favorite artists out right now, Frank Ocean, released a new song. He's amazing. I love him. I'm pretty sure that his album is going to be my favorite of the year (which is pretty big because I am absolutely IN LOVE with Chris Brown's "Fortune" album right now. Lol) Anyway, I've been dying for this Frank Ocean album forever and the fact that it's 11 days away is an upgrade to my life.

The fact that I will see him live in concert in 17 days is an even bigger enhancement to my existence. If I ever get a chance to meet him, I'll thank him for allowing me to fall in love with music for the millionth time.

I just thought that it was so fitting for him to release this song on the day that my sweet life is beginning. It's truly poetic.

Thanks to everybody who hit me up today. You really made this feel like my birthday LOL. Let's all enjoy the "Sweet Life":

I Put On - "Ice"

"...hot as ice can get..."

Maybe Kelly Rowland and Lil Wayne should make a whole album. LOL I love this song. Her vocals have grown so much over the years. I'm impressed.

I Put On: "Top of The World" by Ryan Corbin

"Baby, I know how to make you love me..."

If you follow me on twitter or are friends with me on Facebook, you should have already downloaded this song. But if you haven't, here's another chance lol.

I'm on the team that helps promotes Ryan, but TRUST, I wouldn't do it if I didn't love his music. Dude is AMAZING.

To say that I love this song is an absolute understatement! That "girl, get ya Jamie on...I don't really care what u blame it on" line is my sh*t. I'd love to hear this in the club!!! I can't wait til the video is done because I KNOW it's gonna be hot.

Now, I usually don't provide download links on my blog because I'm not trying to get shut down LOL...but I got you with this one! You can't really call yourself a music head if you don't support great up-and-coming artists.

Ride to the TOP OF THE WORLD with Ryan....because that's where he's going.

Les Is More baby! :)

And yes, you REALLY can win a trip to the 2013 Essence Music Festival.

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.
