About this Playlist
This playlist is used to shine a light on the underground rap renaissance that has been occurring in the past 4-5 years. The music on this list will reinvigorate a hip hop head that fell in love with the sound of the Golden Era of Hip Hop. This list is well versed in the history of the sound and feel, yet still brings a new and innovated flavor that pushes the sound forward.
If you find yourself asking “why isn’t hip hop as good as it used to be?” this is your answer. It is underground, it’s not on the radio, it’s not in the big music companies any longer, it is being made with full freedom and creativity, away from the shackles the business put on the art of Hip Hop. As Father Kool Herc once said “The less coverage you get on it, the more innovation coming on it. So it’s always gonna be. “Wow! Where this come from?”….Thats the thing about Hip Hop, man. It’s forever elevating and forever changing”
I was raised in a community that believes in and practices the act of love, spirituality, understanding, and openness. These beliefs and practices are my foundation in this life and continue to drive my pursuit of knowledge, wisdom, and freedom. I also come from a place where the gift of rhythm and movement are interwoven into each other and into the fabric of life. It is never one without the other.
Music and Dance are not just things we do and enjoy. They are a necessity. In times of joy we dance, in times of triumph we turn the music up a little louder, in times of stress and unbalance we close our eyes and dance. It is how we feel our emotions and what ignites our creativity, intellectual abilities, and the way we see the world. Without the two, life would have no color, art, love, or culture.
Music and movement have always been the guiding light of creativity and the master teacher, therefore I aim to share how they elevate my mind, heart, and soul to think wider and to think with compassion, wit, and intellect. I hope you enjoy the content. Peace.
