Skip Marley – “Slow Down” feat. H.E.R. (Video)
We can have just one night, or we can have one whole life…
Hell of a line, Skip Marley. Gotta run that one some day just to see how it plays. And I gotta try it on someone as sensual as H.E.R. (and hmmm, I might have that someone in mind). What a way to start a Cuffin’ Weekend. Put this smooth jawn on, put something laid back and sexy on to match, then settle down and warm things up with each other like someone struck a match! Now, that’s a plan AND goals…
Yeah. Sometimes we gotta just “Slow Down” (ya know).
J.Cole – “All I Ever Want” feat. Andre 3000
J. Cole and Andre 3000 make for one helluva a mash-up, right? For all y’all who are saying “All I Ever Want” is to know who put all this together… The answer is beat beast Will On The Soul.

DOPE!
Been a minute since I’ve been able to share some Hip-Hop for a cause. And this one is really worthy… and timely. Y’all know how cold it can get out there. Lyrically & poetically. But Hip-Hop cares. Showing and proving here. For the culture AND for those out in the cold. Read on.

Dee-1 x Murs – “No Pictures Of Jesus” (Video)
Peace Be Upon He.
Peace Be Upon We.
No photos, pictures, characterizations or visualizations of God or the central Salvation figure… Yep, as I was just discussing with a friend who has chosen a new Faith… Islam got it right. Christians’ conceptualization of what the Savior Jesus Christ looks like really holds us back in many ways.
Dee-1 and Murs are really trying to let us know that that look stuff… NOT IMPORTANT… AT ALL!

Fabolous – “Choosy” (Fun Facts Version) feat. Jeremih x Davido (Video)
Ha! I think about Clayton Thomas’ web comedy short vids when I hear “Fun Facts”… Totally forgot about the ‘Pop Up Video’ style shows from TV back in the day. This “Choosy” vid was done up like the latter. Nice and easy tunes presented as a nice visual. Enjoy.

M-Dot – “Days Are All the Same†(Prod. By Hi-Tek) [Video]
I got the message. And it wasn’t even ‘texted’ to me. Folks, maybe (read: DEFINITELY) we should put down the phones and raise our heads AND levels of consciousness (and conscientiousness). Get ‘into’ the world instead of phone-caming and sharing about it. Live… instead of ‘going live’ all the time. It is a new decade after all, right? Hear the words and watch the vid from M-Dot.
The coveting of societal acceptance has reached new heights in a social media (“like†based) dominated planet. You find more people looking down (at their phones) then looking up to see what’s happening with our culture nowadays; increasingly becoming robots to a system dangling products to the wide eyed eager consumer. M-Dot‘s latest single ‘Days Are All The Same‘ paints a lucid world of these exact human shortcomings. The social/political narrative is carefully laced upon the back-drop of Hi-Tek‘s (Snoop Dogg, Big L, Eminem, 50 Cent, GhostFace Killah) eccentric drum arrangement. Ego And The Enemy 2 Coming Soon!!

Facts, sir. FACTS!

Skillz – “2019 Rap Up”
Yup. We all shook our heads at Jussie Smollett. But 2019 was about soooo much more. And Skillz was there for all of it. With his pen and pad apparently. But I know what we are all here for now. That “2019 Rap Up!”
