Ta-ku x Wafia – “Love Somebody”
August 9, 2016
Oh yeah. We effs with Ta-ku something heavy already over here. But this “Love Somebody” is doing nothing but locking us into long-term fandom. Dope music and vocalization. Great choice to lure the world over to copping the EP “(m)edian” out now.

Nas x Erykah Badu – “This Bitter Land”
July 28, 2016
Stirring. “This Bitter Land” is a bit o’ provocation from the soundtrack for “The Land” (as in CleveLAND), the forthcoming coming-of-age skater movie being produced by Nas and Machine Gun Kelly. The former teams up with Erykah Badu on this track you gotta take at least two listens to.

Hezekiah – “Dreams Don’t Chase Themselves” (Album Release Video)
June 21, 2016
Footage captured at the “Dreams Don’t Chase Themselves” album release party at Johnny Brendas (Philadelphia, PA, USA) last year. It’s a short clip, but the energy conveyed feels like it was a good time with great music. Got the album link below.
This album was so relaxing, and I was in a very, very good space to be expressive.
