With Africa on My Sleeve
It is our sincerest hope that you’ve enjoyed the two year-end playlists we’ve put out earlier in the week as we crossed into 2020. We look forward to delve further into the patterns we were able to discern and share our thoughts on what’s to come. As such, the playlists serve as a preview. So...Continue reading
The weekend is here! Yo, the weekend is here! You must not have hear me: the weekend is HERE! I’m ecstatic about spending the next couple of days sweating away the stresses of daily grind. (Somebody tell me where I can get a refund for this adulting thing, for real!) If you’re with me, let’s...Continue reading
Just like earlier, it’s always a great feeling when you start off with a lady with undisputed bonafides. Megan Thee Stallion is a rapper who has built an impressive track record in a short time; she has now shifted to another gear with her debut album, Fever. “Realer”, the album’s second single reflects the tone...Continue reading
With a few exceptions, we’re in ‘Teintée Africaine‘ territory here. To lead us off is Niska’s chart-topping single “Médicament” with Booba. It should be noted that the rapper and his guest, who just released a ballad, have opted to sing instead of rapping. It’s a growing preference that purists might decry, but we can’t contest...Continue reading
This is coming a tad bit late, but this is a DJ R-Tistic mix. (I might be introducing all future DJ R-Tistic posts that way 😅). With the first major (commercial) day of 2019 almost in the book, it’s high time we looked ahead on to the next ten months and make the best of...Continue reading
I hope you’ve enjoyed the chill (and slightly uptempo) vibes that we shared ealier in our recap playlist of the more memorable popular hits of this year. Similarly, we now propose a complementary playlist of party anthems. So, say goodbye 2018, but get off that seat and let us drive your hips into 2019. Happy...Continue reading
It’s been three years since her last album (Delirium) and, with “Close to Me”, there’s hope that a new one will be released in the near future. With her track record, talk less of the new single, we expect to be fully satiated. Also, since we’re on the subject of appetite, K Camp and Thutmose...Continue reading
I’m always confident with the likes of Post Malone and Swae Lee that I’m in for a catchy tune. And having the two join forces seems a no-brainer, if you’re shooting for an outright hit. “Sunflower” doesn’t disappoint! It’s as catchy as they get. It inspired me to stay in that pocket of recent catchy...Continue reading
I start off with “Stay”, one of my favorite songs off my favorite Mac Miller album, The Divine Feminine. (I had a couple more joints off the album on earlier playlists.) There was a way to kill two birds with one stone so I took a shot. What do I mean? I have a bit...Continue reading
I get it. (And you should too.) It’s Nicki Minaj! Her new album (Queen) ticks all the boxes for Billboard chart success. There’s a number of songs that tickle my fancy and “Ganja Burn” is one of them. And…who would turn their nose up at eye candy? And speaking of (fierce) eye candy, Stefflon Don...Continue reading
