There is a message in this, do you hear it? Do you see it? The beauty in this, the videography and colors, Run it back if you don't. I took the time and went to the all links of the people who worked on this. Added them below. That's that insecure, that's that Issa Rae!

Some people just know how to have fun while doing the things they love to do their own way. They also do it with love and laugher, this is one of those videos. The title of the track can just make so much sense.

A new soulful track from Dana Williams called "Do No Harm". Let the voice take you on a trip of spirit and soul. Her voice will touch differently. I am definitely in love with this track.
When I became a parent, I thought that I would be the one teaching my daughter. Boy was I wrong! My daughter has become one of my favorite teachers along with LIFE. This is a special one.

Ras Kass just said keep this raw and put the bboys in the video. I would had them in the park or something instead of the dance studio, or at a block party rockin'. You know how the world is always wanting more. If you have the resources use them. He got the bars but let the video try and match that. On another note I want that new "Soul On Ice 2" on vinyl just because.

A lot of us can relate to a lot of things. Even the bullshit. We all have to understand that there is no blueprint to life unless we make it that way. Have goals and uplift each other. When we feel good we do good, at least that's what I believe. This that barber talk though or its that hood talk or its just something I can "Relate" too.

“Like all my releases, most of which are instrumental, I wanted the music to tell a story. With Blu being the voice, he set the tone for us both to bring this to life.” - Damu The Fudgemunk on his new project with Blu, Ground & Water.
With Ground & Water, Blu and Damu The Fudgemunk have released yet another standout project as part of their already-incredibly noteworthy catalogues. But this time, they’ve done it together. After collaborating in different ways over the years, the two joined forces for a release that’s every bit as dope as you’d hope considering who’s involved. From the Los Angeles rapper’s tight-as-ever rhymes to the Washington, D.C. native’s crunchy production, Ground & Water captures exactly why Blu and Damu are so revered.
For Damu, that meant diving into the storied discography of his new partner-in-rhyme. While the producer always thought highly of the emcee’s talents, he says he realized that Blu’s much greater than people give him credit for. That led to the excitement of creating Ground & Water, because Damu knew he’d get to tell a story through a cohesive release. The story is one that treads personal, introspective territory that Blu delivers like only he can.
Released August 16, 2019.

Loyalty over love. Just "Be Honest" with the ones you do love. That shit really helps in the long run. Jorja Smith makes you move on this one and you immediately know what it's about from the title. Burna Boy turns that bounce into a vibe an riddim.

Curren$y just dropped a EP for 2019 for these "Hot August Nights". It's Friday, you ain't got nothing to do but feel good about it's the weekend. Put on this after you get your check or if it's already cleared an in your account.
The Greatest In The Universe crash lands on Earth and takes dead-aim at the traps of modern life. While decrying the dim lies of clout, and the indelible need to find the real ones to hold you down. This is Chris Rivers declaration to the insincere who want to crowd: give a man some space. Featuring guest vocals by Oswin Benjamin and production by Rod The Producer, Chris River's "N.A.S.A." is the anthem for those tired of the fake. Add to it, there is also a flawless “Pakinamac” homage.

Some might say its a gimmick. Some might say you should do this and that. I say if you love and it feels good, go for it. Forget (F%&k ) what other people think, they'll be alright. I don't have to explain nothing to you about our story, I just know "THE MARATHON CONTINUES"

"Look" sounds like it pulls some inspiration for dearly departed "XXX". Maybe its the beat or the hook. It's titled "Look" similar to "Look At Me!" either way it bangs out the trunk. I can get this kids turnt up in the crowd with this one, adding it to the arsenal.
Some breakin' from over the weekend from an event called F.A.M. Fest Miami 2019. Some of the bboys featured that I see and know off hand are Kareem, Bowzee, Bboy Zeku, Omen, TaTa, Raw Skeleton to name a few. Keep the culture going and evolving.

When rumors spread months ago that Skyzoo had begun working on a collaborative project with the iconic Pete Rock it quickly set social media aflame. While details were scant, Mello Music Group is happy to finally reveal the details and officially announce Skyzoo & Pete Rock’s new album, Retropolitan, with Billboard who premiered the lead single It’s All Good.
"It’s All Good" finds Skyzoo skating over a beat from Pete’s secret “SP-1200 stash,” and this one in particular was produced in 1994 around the same time as Pete's Illmatic sessions with Nas.
This when a collaboration just is meant to be. Is J. Cole the new Rick Ruben. Saba just is a pure example of what today's Chicago hip hop is. Make some "Sacrifices" and keep the culture evolving. It's a beautiful thing this music. If you know what I mean. Word play on one hundred. I'll be hugging the block because it sometimes needs one. That's where the best art comes from. When we make those "Sacrifices"

This joint is baby making music. Be careful out there when listening to real music and putting so one of interest on it. This might lead to some special or toxic. It's Friday. By the way I wanted to put a picture of all 3 but just stuck with the picture of D.R.A.M. Watt killed that guitar solo.

Lana Del Rey has such a angelic voice with a folklore vibe. All you can do is listen. It has this nostalgic sound, reminds me of "Jewel". Remember when my friend Mark had that "Pieces of You" CD from her. It was like listening to outdoor rainforest sounds to go to sleep to. "Looking For America" is like that.
The latest visual from PnB Rock with (Rest in Power) XXXTENTACION. I don't have many words to say for this one, just continue to support Jahseh Dwayne Ricardo Onfroy and his music even if it's just a feature. Long Live Jahseh! Bless PnB Rock for this one.
