Grieves - Against The Bottom


'Against The Bottom' is currently one of my jammmsss. I randomly go through phases where I listen to a shit ton of Grieves. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy Grieves' music all of the time. However, there are certain times when his lyrics hit a little harder and it makes you give a little less of a fuck about the current situation. On that note...
I'm over tryin to make this home, so just go
and leave me in the place that we'll always know

Prolyphic & Reanimator - Born Alone



A few days ago, I was listening to my itunes while I attempted to be productive around the house. I wasn't really paying attention to what was playing; it lost my interest and turned into background noise. Sometime later, 'Born Alone' by Prolyphic and Reanimator started playing and it stopped me in my tracks. The unique, raw, symphony of sounds and words came out of the speakers and grabbed my attention. I was absolutely blown away by the depth of Prolyphic's lyrics! I listened to Born Alone about 40 times in a row, constantly rewinding Prolyphic's verses in order to break it down and take it in. One of my favorite lines is
"I tuck my soul in my socks and hide my heart in my pockets."
 I love songs that can put my indescribable thoughts and emotions into words. I think humans have an inherent defense mechanism to tuck away issues, hide their thoughts, and cover up their feelings, in an attempt to avoid themselves. However, this defense mechanism only harms oneself because you can't let something go until you deal with it. Music is a higher revelation and every listener finds comfort in the space between the notes. Listeners establish an emotional connection when they can identify themselves through a particular song. Through this revelation, cloudy emotions become clear thoughts, and clear thoughts become solid words. Music allows people to lose themselves and find themselves at the exact same moment!

Prof - Yeah Buddy!


This song, 'Yeah Buddy', is from Prof's new album King Gampo. You can download the album for free HERE !!! I recently had the pleasure of seeing Prof on the Family Vacation Tour, where he opened up for Atmosphere. Prof absolutely murdered his performance and I immediately became a fan. I have not taken the King Gampo album out of my car CD player since its release date because it puts me in a fanfuckingtastic mood. I love Prof's unique approach to music and the feel good beats. I'm definitely excited to see what the future has in store for Prof!
