Do Better – Lil Donald

LIL Donald is an Atlanta rapper that I came buy from a business associate of mine. What really struck me about him as I learned more was his drive for uplifting women and how positive he seems to want to keep his career.

Listen!!! – Talib Kweli

‘Loud as a whisper, quiet as a lion’s roar’! 

Yup! these are the type of thought provoking lyrics Talib spits on this track! while it is an easygoing track with an awesome production (the production is so good..love the instrumentals!) to vibe to

World in Your Mouth – The Infinite Three

This weeks pick to question existence comes from the London based, three piece “The Infinite Three” and with a name like that, they’re a match made in space for the playlist.

The Essay 3 – Nils Ödlund

So I’m super stoked about this week – we’re trying something a little different – instead of just one track – we’re presenting an entire writing mix – a playlist within a playlist – 1 hour of music lovingly stitched together to create the perfect sonic environment for all you out there who need to get the words down!

Nobody’s Ting – NDAI

This song has so much soul there isn’t a chance that I wouldn’t add this to the playlist. The bass line alone grabs you and locks you into it’s smooth melody. NDAI’s voice is smooth and pure, and its vibe fit so well into the groove of the song I couldn’t help but listen to this 3 times in a row. This is a great song to put on and just kick back for a few minutes and get lost…

Next of Kin – Lucy Dacus

This week’s track is dedicated to those who are prone to overthinking things, sweating the small stuff, staying up at night with weighty thoughts, and worrying they’ll never accomplish everything they want to. As someone who’s been there many times, these feelings can overwhelm and lead to inaction or indecision.

A Noite É Nossa – Rincon Sapiência

“Swag” is a thing we lack words to define, but it’s definitely something the artists & songs featured here have in common – after all, we wouldn’t mention the guy who invented swag in the name of the playlist for no reason, right?

Let’s Lie Here For A While – Lynz Crichton

 There is no cure for love other than marriage.

– Irish proverb

A long time ago in London, as I was walking down King’s Road, I was approached by this lady who said that if I gave her a few minutes of my time, she could open my eyes in the matters of love. She was gorgeous. And no, she was not a streetwalker. Rather, she claimed to be part of a research group and asked me to follow her to this courtyard to fill out a questionnaire. The idea was that she would then create a love profile for me…

Carpet Crawlers – Genesis

Genesis instala a través de Rael (en el misticismo hebreo los nombres terminados en “el” eran considerados divinos, de ahí que los nombres Arcangélicos tuviesen esta terminación) un viaje iniciático…

Tombstone – Super Helpful Kwame

Brooklyn’s Super Helpful Kwame returns from a multi year hiatus with a fresh jazzy sounding cut called ‘Tombstone‘ produced by Chicago based instrumentalist and producer Stav Z. The Brooklyn based MC has an upcoming EP dropping soon 

We Will Run – Jens Kuross

Hay veces que dedico un poquito de tiempo para ver las grandiosas
sesiones en vivo “Mahogany”, es justo donde puedes disfrutar del
sonido natural de cada uno de los artistas que se presentan para tocar
de manera acústica, es aquí donde vi a un tipo cantar una canción que
me gustó mucho por la sensibilidad al ejecutar el piano y cantar
suavemente la frase “We Will Run”,…

Smalltown Boy – Bronski Beat

Rejected by your family and community, your life becomes so unbearable that you would rather give up everything and run than spend another day amongst people who despise you for being who you are. That’s the story behind Smalltown Boy, a UK No.3 hit single in 1984, with an accompanying video that spelled out unflinchingly the emotional agony and physical danger of being one of society’s outcasts in an age of intolerance.
