Pure Positivity

Haven't posted in far too long and figured I'd toss on a track out that might have slipped past a couple people. Slug dedicates this ballad to the "hopeless" single mothers out there that will do whatever it takes to cope. It's in an inspirational song riddled with determination worthy of a momma bear protecting her cub. Enjoy. [VERSE: Slug] She got a condition of the heart - a heart condition So as a kid she had to adapt to smarter livin Not much room to rebel because of health No drugs, no booze, just kiss and tell Well known on the scene, jail bait queen Had the first baby, barely eighteen Father of the child was after one thing When the daughter came, the dad was unseen It don't matter, he ain't got a job So she had to go to work and leave the baby with her mom Second shift till the neck is stiff But she worked to build her own nest to live Soon after that baby's dad slash lazy bum with no cash He want to come over and crash He want to play his par

Clever men in our violence, s ilence is when we shoot from the lip to quiet.  When we talk non-violence and stay silent when is suits.  Really it's all violence at the root. Like any music loving maniac I rotate my top 5 emcees as if they were wheels of steel. Shad always stays at #1. Music has this innate ability to find me at the right time and enlighten my mood. No one is able to keep me more focused than Shad. He's wise, kind, and jovial which are attributes stripped from most artists these days. His morale fortitude is unparalleled and it's so clearly seen in each and every track and every one of his albums. I can honestly say that if more people were like Shad this world would be a far better place. Do yourself a favor and listen to his new album - Flying Colors. Lyrics: Shad - Remember to Remember Yeah I forget so often God no wonder I feel lost When I forget where I came from Or how I get passed now we ain't young Can't play dumb the fun and game

A lot of women love me but none can understand me. Every now and then you'll run across a track that just speaks to you. You're somewhat perplexed by the parallels between the prose and your present. I usually stumble upon these tracks in the most unexpected way and it gives me goosebumps as if it was tailor made to where I am at in life. You think to yourself this either some bizarre intervention or something randomly real and decide to soak in the message set forth. This track right here did that to me. Lyrics: Angel - Foreign Legion A beautiful day it was Vienna in the springtime Late morning writing songs in the sunshine Sitting on the bench with the pad and the pen Spilling out my thoughts it was Saturday in the park Kids playing I was contemplating destiny I looked up there was an Angel sitting next to me 21 or 22 years old and flawless Body of a goddess underneath but her dress was modest Eyes green sort of blue in the sun rays Started talking and I told

In your life, you may see, that what they say is right, may not be. If your crew is called Collective Efforts you have but one choice when making music; to do so in a harmonious fashion. This particular track emphasis all that the group is about. It's quaint with smooth undertones of jazz and in sync octaves raining throughout. It has an uplifting message that's bound to alter even the most ornery of moods. For me is creates that desire within to push further and crave for more. That right there is the absolute most I can ask for a 5 minute ballad. So unleash that insatiable desire to succeed by tossing on some headphones and indulging in purity. Lyrics: Collective Efforts - This Far And I'm so glad What you glad about It's a beautiful day man (sure is) Sun shining (hell yeah) It's all nice all the folks out Cooling man (just chilling) Everything's going good And I'm so glad we made it this far I know my world won't be the same without y

To get my mind off it I keep my mind on it.  When summer hits you just know it. As the weather shifts from cool to warm the vibes that inspire creativity tend to seep through to tracks. This song relates to me on a hip-hop head level, it's about the love for the art form and culture that I'm so disgustingly obsessed with. If you're having a shitty day and need to get that little tiny bit of summer to make things shine, toss this track on and soak in it's warming rays. Lyrics: Trek Life - Just the Music To get my mind off it I keep my mind on it Turn the beat up loud to keep my high going But I aint smoked no thang its just the rhyme flown' It just the beats banging That got me hydro'in On another plain Any time a day All I really gotta do is just press play Summertime, sunshine or in the rain It make the world better Been around forever You know the time that you didn't wanna smile Then your song came on and made your day worth while Y

If I ever have a chance to make a change I will, and I ain't laying down my soul for gold or any forms of bills.  Johnson&Jonson, also known as Blu and Mainframe, team up and terrorize a 1969 cutty classic, "See and Don't See" by Marie Queenie Lyons. The original is a terribly depressing tale of a philandering fellow who shatters a love that once was. While the remake is not necessarily as harsh it still wreaks of that same pungent musk. Blu is a rappers rapper; he exudes confidence, maintains breath control, utilizes wit, and admonishes anything resembling radio. He's dope. The guy flows with a new age style while never forgetting the fundamentals. Call me crazy but he's the Billy Preston of rap. The sixth beetle if you will, and unlike his predecessor, capable of creating something from nothing. Johnson&Jonson - The Only Way Cut off the lights close the door Step on in Check it out The only way To make it out this jungle is to juggle jo

And metropolis is falling on top of us, banks and the bibles are closed so we're prophetless Lyrics: Lushlife - Gymnopedie 1.2 ft. Shad Shad Growing up words I was just another young brother in the suburbs I discovered that I loved words As a teenager in the 90's Green pager Nautica jacket need a long screen saver Had the nervous slang down pat Boomerang sound track playing in my room Playing hoops laying down tracks Swore I would get to the point 3 albums later I'm like biggie Singing to fans give me one more chance Forgive me I want to get it right or get busy My record gets spins and in turn I get dizzy You know the drill spinning trying to dig deep Just past 6 feet touch that mystery I misread the signs and I find myself lost But I only know I was lost when I find myself When I can see I wonder why I blind myself I know I just forget to remind myself This is rap for the Rap's fans DeRozan on a break over breaks This is that jam Photo of
