Smoke & Mirrors, July I & II

Karma has its way with things and I’m now a believer. A couple of weeks back, I was mocking the editor for going on a lengthy nap. This time around… Anyways, I’m back with a double dose because I need to ingratiate myself to you all. And I have a managed a neat balance between new music and (not so) old goodies. I do hope you enjoy this one and feel the love. To wrap up, I (again?) emphatically recommend checking out the new albums/EPs from A$AP Rocky, Jay Rock, Teyana Taylor and WANI – if you’ve not yet done so.

If you’re new to this, every week, I try to put together songs that push the envelope, that are dope and that have lots of replay value. Let these joints make your commute smooth and rock you into reflection and meditation. As always, I’ll be back next week.
