J. Cole - In The Morning Feat Drake (Official Video)



The Video for J. Cole's collab with Drake has finally hit the ground, web and streets running.

In the Morning, the breakout song from J. Cole's Friday Night Lights Mixtape finally has visuals to go along with it.

I personally love this song because its that smooth R&B with poetry. To me this is one of the main forms of hip hop, the actual poetry.

Both Drake and J. Cole bring a sultry yet lyrical winter vs. summer style to the song which reminds me of a perfect blended cocktail. Splash of soul, taste of hip hop, with a smudge of poetry. Classic. Listen Responsibly.

Diddy - Dirty Money - I Hate That You Love Me (Official Video)

The new visuals for Diddy-Dirty Money's "I Hate That You Love Me" have dropped. I love the crisp colors and the quick, flash through scenes are dope but I definitely love the musicianship within this song the most.

Being an old school bandgeek, I love the sounds of percussion, Horns, Strings and all other instrumentation Incorporated in my favorite genre of Hip-Hop. To me, producers still just using an MPC drum machine to make beats is boring, and I feel Diddy's production team came with that heat on The Last Train To Paris.

Other artists should take note and step the game up. To quote Jay-Z, "Give the drummer some, no really, Give The DRUMMER some..." ...Props that is.

Good & Bad Days...Find Your Happiness


There were a lot of Superbowl commercials that I could have posted, but this particular Carmax commercial just reminds me that we should all find happiness in something and cherish it.

I believe in order to have a fulfilling and meaningful life you should find something that makes you happy and build a foundation around it.

There will obviously be good and bad days but the point is to find your happiness which will lead you to the profound and successful prosperity we all dream to achieve.
