This week’s track comes from the heart of Romania down in southeast Europe. The song is led by the beautiful, sexy vocals of Nely Vanessa in this hot summer remix from DJ/Producer Claudio Cristo…
The term, “reality check,” is used negatively most of the time. Mostly to point out the ignorance of individuals and groups in situations. However, Noname’s inspiring hip-hop track, “Reality Check,” uses the term to empower the listeners. In this song, “reality check” refers to recognizing that one’s difficulties shouldn’t stop them from seizing opportunities…
When you’re in the moment. In that sweet spot between the future and the past. Between tomorrow and today. When you’re alive. When your body is electric. When sparks are arcing from your imagination like cartwheeling hallelujahs. Away, away into the ether…
Anti-establishment music is my favorite genre. The best songs, artists, and movements are almost always born from a need to crack the status quo and stand up to whatever is currently holding people back (socially, creatively, economically, etc.)…
Do you ever find yourself in a place where you have to do something tedious? Maybe it’s spellchecking a document or changing the name of something you’ve used multiple times and you can’t use find and replace? I just spent the last hour swapping out URLs across the musicto website as we improve our search engine visibility – it’s tedious but it has to be done…
The song that so perfectly epitomised the dark heart of 21st Century East Coast American organised crime, familiar to millions from the opening credits of The Sopranos, is not even American.

It was so powerfully expressive, not only the scene it took part of but how the two assembled so perfectly bringing such a special feeling to it, the music was so beautiful it got stuck to my soul ever since…
“Who says you can’t change your haircut? But it looks good anyway / I kinda wonder where you got it / And I doubt you even paid” might just be one of the wittiest lyrics on Atlanta Billionaires Club – Faye Webster’s latest record…
“41 shots / Cut through the night / Kneeling over his body in the vestibule / Praying for his life.” Man, what incredibly heavy, unsettling lyrics. They aren’t merely poetic but based upon an incredible American tragedy. 2019 marked 20 years since West African immigrant Amadou Diallo was fatally shot by the NYPD sparking outrage…
Dear Dad,
You passed away yesterday, on June 16 and left a void that cannot be filled in the hearts of the people you loved. Anyone who knew you will know exactly how incredibly huge this void is for my mom, brother and me. You were everything to us. I know anything I ever did was done to make you proud of me, proud of the fact that I was your son…
