Trek Life - Just the Music

By -
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
You sing it loud with your hands in the air on them long nights
Its like, it can make all your wrongs right
& Man I don't really give a damn about the rumors and weak styles
I give a damn if ya'll fools got beef now
You bank account man that aint my concern
Lay down the needle and let the record turn I want just the music

I give a damn about the drama and shit
Just keep the volume up to the tip
I want just the music
and you can miss me with nonsense
Just keep the volume up to the tip
I want just the music

Walk in the record store
I used to leave broke
They be like take me out to eat
I'm like please nope
That new jam finta drop it's bout to be dope
and i'm finta cop and take in ev-er-y note
My heart probably pump breakbeats at this point
You grab a stethoscope and be like that's the joint
I turn it up and let my soul feel free
Stuck in traffic it really never matters to me
Long as I got heat,Then I'm charlie sheen
Straight winning til the ended then its on repeat
Y'all fuss over formats
But I'm like damn that
Vinyl CD iTunes or band camp
cassette, Pandora, it could even be 8 track
I be like play that as long as it ain't wack
My love for the music goes so far way
When I was just kid trying to dance like Mike Jack
Or sing like Prince and rap like Kane man
Or listen t death certificate feelin the same as
Any in that predicament
That's why I'm still rippin it
So miss me with that silly shit
For real man just the music

Woke Up Making Money - SoulChef ft Declaime

By -

Built like Budda and Bob Marley on a Harley  So much flavor on this track it was clearly concocted by SoulChef. The title of this track is just outright deceitful; the art of making money has been bastardized and turned into an act of craving cash rather then flourishing ones talent. That's exactly why the crispy cadence of Declaime reclaims what is it to be truthful to oneself. I lack the words to accurately describe how poignantly powerful this gem is. SoulChef is one of the greatest producers and an ode to a time that is quasi lost. When coupled with a lyricist who can consciously construct a clear message it's apparent that the power of hip-hop is still exceptionally strong. I love it from top to bottom. It radiates and embodies what I want to be as person. Thank you kindly for blessing me with a banger worthy of making money to.  Lyrics: Declaime  Haha this is what it is  And you what it ain't  Going hard in the paint  Going places where most can't Not a saint, def

Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia

Yet another great song by the Hilltop Hoods of Australia. These guys demonstrate the art of hard work and sacrifice in order to achieve their goals. This is a tribute to their passion and undying love to the culture of hip-hop. If you're like me, a hip-hop junkie, and you haven't gotten on board with the scene down under you're seriously putting a dent in your rotation list. Listen to this track because "I love it!" Lyrics: Hilltop Hoods - I love it ft. Sia Verse 1: SUFFA I’m wondering where the day went, The clouds have me shrouded in grey but, I’m still out pounding the pavement, word, Drowning the hurt by pounding rounds in brown paper, Founded a label now I’m drowning paperwork, But now the crew I’m down with found an escape from work, And I love it ‘cause that what your hard work gets you, My heart bursts through my chest I’m rescued, So forget what the rest do, I’m blessed to do it with two of who are the best to do it, Do I love it? PRESSURE Look at our goa

Kendrick Lamar - Sing About Me, I'm Dying of Thirst

Mighty Mos Def said it best, "Why does one straw break the camels back? Here's the secret, the million other straws underneath it." In the culture of Hip-Hop there is a paradigm shift going down. While Lil Wayne experiences seizures (probably from excessive codeine usage) and Nicky Minaj trots around like a trollop not fit for the slums of Kandahar, legitimate artists are emerging. They're shining lights on the fact that excessive materialism, drug use, violence, persecution, and sexism are not productive parts of society. Emcees are getting features on their albums from influential people like Dr. Cornell West (Brother Ali) and Maya Angelou (Kendrick Lamar). They're are openly rapping about the disgusting hate towards homosexuality (Murs & Macklemore). Even the catholic church and their rampant cover up of pedophilia isn't safe (Lupe Fiasco). The cherry on this sundae is the fact that all these artists have recently topped the charts on iTunes.
