Ok now let me tell you about Jermaine Lamarr Cole born January 28, 1985, better known by J. Cole, a hip hop recording artist and record producer. Raised in Fayetteville, North Carolina, Cole initially gained recognition as a rapper following the release of his debut mixtape, The Come Up, in early 2007. Intent on further pursuing a solo career as a rapper, he went on to release two additional mixtapes after signing to Jay-Z‘s Roc Nation imprint in 2009.
El piano y el bajo comienzan en esta pieza construyendo la estructura rítmica.
Lo hacen con la prisa con la que un niño ordena su habitación para poder salir a jugar mientras suena una viola…
We now present you another track submitted to us on the musicto website.
This is Will Killen’s “In My Arms”, an emotional reflection on a past relationship and the nostalgia brought by separation, the different stages of grief brought by a break up, beautifully portrayed by a guitar, a violin and two great voices.
Who hasn’t thought to themselves at one point, “If only I knew then what I know now…” Right?! We’ve all done it. We wish sometimes that we could go back to the past and tell ourselves that things will be okay, and to trust in the process of living life. Constantinos Lemesios does this in a beautifully melodic way.
Hardly a track like this can be described.. words cannot explain what this wonderful melody will do to you mind and your body.
So, for this time, stop reading…
Samba and hip hop are an awesome combination and Marcelo D2 always knew it. But in “Ela disse”, this fabulous Brazilian rapper made it even better by adding a few jazzy horns and a brief but oh so sweet collaboration with actress & singer Thalma de Freitas.
I don’t know why I like this song. Maybe it feeds into my inner need to have haters. Everyone likes me to my knowledge. Or maybe I’m exactly the demographic for this song. People who are unapologetically themselves without thinking who they are annoying. I’d like to think I have the self awareness to know when I’m being an ass but based on my lack of knowledge of who hates me I’m probably wrong..
Unrequited love. We’ll all been there, am I right?
Though I’m currently in a mutually loving and respectful relationship, it wasn’t that long ago that I was crooning in a steamy shower over yet another fuckboy down the drain.
Harlem (by way of Little Rock, AR) artist Rent Money wrote, recorded this record while sleeping on the A train at night. What could be more perfect on a playlist that reps New York???!?!?!?!

A few weeks ago, right before Christmas, I received a text from my uncle telling me that the lead singer and songwriter of the Smithereens, Pat DiNizio, had died. He was only 62. I felt empty. I had just come to accept that Tom Petty was no longer with us. Now, all of a sudden, another hero of mine was gone. Such is life. Nobody lives forever. It’s just that the Smithereens have always been one of my favorite bands. And as you probably already guessed, they are also one of my uncle’s favorite bands. As a matter of fact, it was he who turned me onto them years ago in the late eighties – a day I remember very well….
Say what you will about Father John Misty, the dude is an incredible songwriter. Pure Comedy was one of the most hyped records of last year, but man did it deliver. Somehow he is able to talk about his cynical worldview into sarcastic hooks you can’t help but to laugh at…
