R&Cs: Ring the Alarm

The new Black Eyed Peas single, “Ring the Alarm Pt. 1, Pt. 2, Pt.3”, was a pleasant surprise to me. There’s hardly any complaints one could have about it. I’m loving the direction they’re taking and the complementary initiatives (such as the partnership with social action platform Sweet). I’m also loving all the young guns I was able cram into this playlist: Alina Baraz, Dave East, Jessie Reyez, Kara Marni, Kiana Ledé, Leto, Witt Lowry and then some. There’s definitely a lot to love here. Dig in!

I wrote as kid. (I'd die if you'd ever get your hands on those poems.) And I wrote as a teen. (We thought our raps would spearhead revolution.) I write these days to share my joys and perspectives. I am as subjective as they come. I found a bunch of blessed souls that are just as expressive. And Africa is all the better for it. (I think I never really changed.)
