With Africa on My Sleeve
This one right here is in the spirit of this glorious series that has had you dim the lights and get your freak on… After a little love story, we are back with 22 tracks right for the baby making, inspired by the first track — Tory Lanez’s “F.E.E.L.S.”
I didn’t foresee going almost a year before revisiting this concept! The good news is that we’re two away from making it a segment on its own. The greater news is that the fourth edition is weeks away. But let’s not get ahead of ourselves — especially when I laced something special in my opinion....Continue reading
And just in time to say goodbye to September, we’re back to delivering the playlists you’ve been so fond of. I was elated (and, I must admit, overwhelmed 😅) to see this little idea of mine stretch into a whole series spanning ten volumes…so far! I’m always eager to get into this particular zone and...Continue reading
It feels like an eternity ago now. Somewhere by the middle of last month, I had carefully planned a run of playlists with the fourth slated for Wednesday…two weeks ago. The day I started to execute was on the fateful May 25th. If I had to narrow down the type of hip-hop records I like...Continue reading
I feel like this playlist is best represented by the song “Magnificent” by JD Era, the third track here. It’s clear, concise lyricism over beats that complement by matching the intensity of the rhyme slayers. These songs made me pay attention to what was being said; the slick shit, the witty lines, capped with either...Continue reading
There’s no silver lining in senseless tragedies. Hip-Hop has (yet again!) been robbed of another talent; I’m talking about Pop Smoke. The kid was only 20! One of my homies was just lamenting about only getting on the Brooklynite’s explosive brand of drill. And a week ago, another one was sadly observing how they ran...Continue reading
Let’s pick up where we left off yesterday, shall we? I’m sure that by now, with that last Smoke x Mirrors, you are loose and giddy to get the weekend underway. But then, those pesky nerves have found (yet again!) found a way to creep up and got you a little jittery. Don’t sweat it,...Continue reading
This is undoubtedly one of my favorite playlists concepts and it’s always fun to bring in a new piece. As Valentine’s Day is approaching, I thought I’d revisit it and help some of you fellas out. So, after an evening of fine dining and an elaborate flower and sweets gift combo — don’t be predictable...Continue reading
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
Trying to pull off a comprehensive year-end playlist at the last hour is not only close to mission impossible, but also a stressful endeavour that doesn’t make sense in the middle of a festive season. Still, here we are. We spent the year in the moment: constantly absorbed in the deluge of music as it...Continue reading
