its been a minute

unfortunately i haven't been able to give this beautiful blog the time it has deserved lately because of a potential job switch, for which those who know, is akin to jumping into a bathtub with a toaster, not fun. In the stressful days I have had in this process I have gotten my listen on YOU KNOW THIS MAAAAN(Smokey Voice), and have separated a few songs from the group that have stood out to me.

KENDRICK LAMAR-GROWING APART:

It's hard to believe that this man was unknown to me before Vinney put me on to his music a little under a month ago. Both tapes which he's come out with have been playing on my iPod non-stop, and have definitely helped me get through a few tough sessions in the gym and a few long drives home. This track, "growing apart", is the epitome of chill, as Kendrick drops some ill, DEEP verses on a beautiful jazzy beat. lay back and listen to this...

DOM KENNEDY-WATERMELON SUNDAE:

To those that saw my top 10 mixtapes list on Twitter, many probably saw the name Dom Kennedy and thought "Who the hell is this clown? What is Rogg thinking?." And yea, I'm with you, he's not the biggest name in the game and many people woulda rather seen me show love to Ross or someone like that, but Dom is NUUUTS, and deserves all the love he got. This track, Watermelon Sundae, is on some 1994 shit, the typa song you would blast on a mid-summer day in your 6 duce and a quarter, on your way to a party like the one in the I Get Around Video or the G thang video. This is a definate track you wanna remember for the Spring and Summer when it gets warmer because it is the knoooown riding song...just click the link and see for yourself...

CURREN$Y FT. DOM KENNEDY-REAL ESTATES:

ok ooook, I'm not trying to be too much of a Dom Kennedy dick rider here, I swear it's a coincidence I chose this Spitta song that he's featured on, so chill....Anywho, this track features some beautiful production from one of the best producers in the game right now (not up for debate or discussion) Ski Beats. Using a sample that reminds of the "Blah Blah" teachers voice from Charlie Brown, Ski sets up the perfect canvas for Curren$y to create another classic. Listen to this track and lay back, and if you haven't done so already BUY a copy of Pilot Talk II, save the megauplod for someone like Eminem or Akon, somebody with a lot of bread already.
