The homie Penn (OGpenn.com) and I are having a “Blog-A-Day” challenge for the month of June (so far we’re both failing lol). The purpose is to exercise & hone in on our writing skills. Writing is an excellent tool to organize, refine, articulate, express your thoughts…but I shall be doing none of that in this post. I don’t think I have that much shit to legitimately write about but I guess that’s why I’m doing this, to lift my own limitations. The blog posts dont have to be longwinded or anything, just post anything of value (or not). The posts can be pictures, music, etc.
So to stay up with the challenge, I’ve decided to keep it simple and share some of the most repeatable music on my ipod in the past few months. Enjoy!!
Arctic Monkeys – One For The Road
Arctic Monkeys are an UK rock band. I really fuck with their sound because of the musical progressions of their songs. Listening to so much looped music, I appreciate songs now that have progressions, peaks, and climaxes. It feels like more thought is put into it.
B0bby Womack & Damon Albarn – Please Forgive My Heart
Bobby Womack recently teamed up with Gorillaz producer, Damon Albarn to make this modern trippy soul album.
SZA – Babylon
The R&B heiress of TDE. I’m in love with SZA.
BADBADNOTGOOD – Confessions
A Toronto Jazz Trio comprised of 21 year olds (Fuck Canada!!!). You can’t tell me this shit ain’t groovy!
Little Dragon – Only One
Swedish House/Tech/Soul group with a Japanese lead singer. I like Little Dragon for the same reasons why I like Arctic Monkeys. Their climaxes slap!!!
Childish Gambino – Flight of the Navigator
See above reasons for Arctic Monkeys & Little Dragon
YG – Meet The Flockers
Man, this entire album fulfills all Death Row/90’s Gangsta rap nostalgia
William Arcane – Departed
Some UK artist trance slap
If you haven’t noticed, I’m a fan of the trance/zone out type music.
