1st Impression

I'm kind of on a ROLL....go ahead & clap for ya girl! *Thank you...Thank YOU*. This is a new mix for all of my faithful out there. I love music (clearly) and because of that I actually dig to find new/hidden gems in different genre's. So I decided to create a mix compiled of male R&B/Soul singers that you may not be familiar with. There are also some artists up here who you probably do know but they've recently put out some new material, e.g. Dwele. I think this will be widely enjoyed & hopefully it will put you on to some of my favorite fellas (Kevin, BJ, Jesse). So I present to you: 1st Impression <--Click 2 Download

The New CUT UP

Everyone has that...well, what my friend Teen Bean The Teen Dream calls "The Get Tha Drawz" playlist. & from the TITLE, I'm sure you can tell what type of playlist it is. When I think of a common everyday GTD playlist, it probably has Trey Songz on it....some Ciara....and probably a throwback here and there (Ginuwine or R.Kelly). So I decided to create a NEW GTD playlist entitled: The New CUT UP. Its comprised of songs that I think wouldn't initially come to the avg. persons mind, when comprising a playlist for this PURPOSE! Buuuuut these songs more than set the mood right. This selection of great tunes might not be for everyone, but I know SOMEBODY is gonna put this to good use. So I present to you: The New CUT UP <---click for the DOWNLOAD link

SALT

We all know that the summer time is MOVIE HEAVEN and I recently saw a very EXCITING film. I would suggest everyone go see Salt, starring Angelina Jolie. Its basically about this CIA agent who is accused of being a Russian spy and then alllllll hell breaks LOOSE! Thats basically all you need to know, so now go out and see it for yourself! :)

Finding Miguel

So by now if you're reading this, I hope you've heard "All I Want Is You" by new R&B artist Miguel ft. J.COLE (I LOVE J.COLE). If not then click the song title and get your DOWNLOAD on!

On another note....I love the song! Its sound is soooooo smooth. So after hearing this song, I was wondering what else he had out. I found that its kind of difficult to google JUST Miguel! LOL So I sent a SOS out into the twitterverse and my good friend @CmfG helped a sista OUT! So here is a mixtape by Miguel, titled Mischief the Mixtape. I like it (especially Ooh Ahh! & Super(natural)). So click the mixtape title and get to DOWNLOADINNNNGGGGG!

It only took TWO words....

....to make my entire NIGHT! So I had to run to the ATM right quick....I'm PJ'd DOWN & all that good ish. Anywayzzz, as I'm walking back to my car, I pass this black man with locks & he says "Hey sistah", and I reply back..."hey". It sounds meaningless but it was so NICE to hear "Sistah". Of course he was an older gentleman, bc more than likely if he was my age he would have been like "Hey Ma" or "Whats good shorty?" and he might have also tried to grab my arm. Not to dismiss my male peers who would have said "Sistah" or something as equally pleasing to the ears, but I'm just going off my more COMMON experiences. I don't know what happened between the time of the strangers generation and mine......but I forsake this mysterious reasoning, & hope that more of you beautiful black men would just take the time to kindly say "HEY" to a "Sistah"!

Peace&Love

Cope

I know I'm late...

...because I have DEFINITELY seen this video posted on other blogs before now. So I was searching for good cover songs for the new mix that I'm making and I came across this video....and O-M-G this little boy is the greatest things since SLICED BREAD! I have nothing more to say....just watch the video and witness it for yourself! again....Oh EMMMM Geeeeeeee! i ♥ him

sidenote: there is no DOUBT in my mind that Greyson got ALLLLLL the biddies in his middle school after that MAGICAL performance. Peep the blonde chick in the top row......DROOLING! Oww Owwwww ;)

Who's it gonna be?

Lately I've been listening to a lot of Donny Hathaway, thanks to DonV! And in doing so it got the wheels in my brain to turn at a rapid speeeeeed. Does my generation have artists with the Caliber of talent that the past gens. have had?! I mean....when was the last time you listened to "A Song For You" by Hathaway??? The song is moving, its VIVID, it lives. Donny sings that song like if he doesn't, the person he wrote it 4 will walk away from him THAT INSTANT! Or what about Stevie Wonder...Al Green...and of COURSE...MARVIN GAYE???? There are many more that can be mentioned, but with those few, I think you get my POINT! I know we have a few artists around today that stand out among the rest. Like Bilal, Anthony Hamilton, Musiq, Donnie, Maxwell.....but is their music going to stand the Test of Time? I just don't know....I want to believe that I'll tell my children about my generations soulful crooners, but I'll probably be more inclined to let them hear "Just to Keep You Satisfied" or "I'll Love You More Than You'll Ever Know". I just don't know....maybe I need to give them more time to be great. Whenever one of these long awaited "Greats" for MY generation comes around....I'll definitely keep you informed!

Sweat

I compiled a new mix entitled: SWEAT

Sweat is a workout mix for all of you out there working on your fitness and doing your "GET RIGHT" for the summer time. This joker is serious driving music too! Keeps me in the car ROCKING. But I'd rather you listen and find out for yourself, than just take my word for it!

PrestO!

I had one pair of Prestos by Nike...& I LOVED them. Prestos feel like your walking on a sweet new mattress. Basically they are sooooo comfy! I came across these *MAGICAL* one's on HighSnobiety not too long ago, & I thought I should share them with those who visit this little ol' blog of MINE! These are the Pinstripe & Houndstooth (I am a fan of Houndstooth) Nike Prestos. TOUGH!
