Sol - Dear Friends

I love this song! It has been my jam (and ringtone) for the past few days. I'm digging the direction Sol takes with his music! I would highly recommend listening to his EP trilogy 'Dear Friends, Volume 1, 2 & 3. This dude has some serious talent and I love that you can hear his emotion in the lyrics. My favorite line is "Your problem with me is not a problem to me." That line is so simple but it hits so hard! I look forward to seeing what musical gems Sol drops in the future!

I Am Myself

"I Am Myself" by Raw Produce ft. Mr. Lif is responsible for sparking my initial interest in underground hip-hop. I first heard this song way back when I was in eighth grade and it is still one of my favorite songs to date. From what I have witnessed, this song has not received the respect that it deserves. I couldn't even find it at the local record store that usually has everything I am looking for. More people need to have the pleasure of hearing this song! Here's a little background on Raw Produce: In the mid 90s Raw Produce helped to re-establish the artistic merits of independent hip-hop. At a time when major labels dominated the landscape, Pitch (Damian Roskill) and Cadence (Seth Boyd) independently released three classic singles featuring sophisticated production, strong lyrical content and a sense of humor and intelligence lacking in much of the music of the day. I hope you enjoy listening to this gem of a throwback! 

If There's Love

This song, "If There's Love" by Citizen Cope, is one of my all time favorite songs. Whenever I listen to it, or any song by Citizen Cope for that matter, I'm instantly relaxed and my spirit is lifted. Citizen Cope has a unique ability to combine music and words in a way that grabs the listener's attention in order to lead them on a calming and self-reflective musical journey. Enjoy!
