We’re baaaaack. Much more solid line-up of songs this week, I feel. Who else has had a relaxedweekend? I’ve spent most of the last 2 days at home, just relaxing and doing work on my top secret project. It’s nice to just stay in and work on something you love. It’s nice to get a break away from the fast-paced city lifestyle. Music for your journeys on the reverse, let us know what you think!
Hello. We’re back again, new songs for the new week. Hmm, should tell y’all in advance – I won’t be posting much this next week. I need to complete a project that I’ve been working on for 2 months this week, it’s now or never. Taking way too long with my site and work duties so it’s time to take a breather and let the others takeover for a bit.
Everyone’s favourite emo-rapper Drake unleashes visuals to Headlines, the lead single from his forthcoming album Take Care (hitting stores October 24th). Check it out under the cut.
Now after how many years I can officially say that the highly anticipated J. Cole album was most definitely worth the wait. The album is kicked off with an Intro, which begins with JermaineCole reminiscing on the day he was signed and drifts into is a very subtle composition where he raps about finally making it to this point. Now if you know anything about Jermaine Cole he’s the first signing to the RocNation label by Jay-Z himself. For the longest time I’ve been an avid follower, listener and fan of J. Cole, from his first mixtape ‘The Come Up’ Cole had many people in awe of the concepts he addressed from there to now, this album clearly shows the transition and you can see and hear his growth on his released album.
Oh here we go, I struggled to get out of bed, felt like I had a crazy Thursday night like the girl above. I don’t know what it’s about Fridays, just can’t get up! #fidead. Though seeing my timeline swarmed with music bloggers posting links to theWeeknd‘s latest mixtape – Thursday makes me happy. I’m actually looking forward to the commute into work now. It’s always kind of dead on the trains, perfect for some relaxing R&B. *Sings in falsetto* not a Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday but a Friday. Mixtape on the reverse.
For those who follow me on twitter (if you don’t then you should be) then you will have seen me tweet that I am #NowPlaying Jhene Aiko many times this past week. I have played certain songs from here mixtape everyday this week, I’ve been blasting her tunes so much that my neighboughs probably know the words to the songs by now. I only came across her after reading about her on ThatGrapeJuice so shout out to them for putting me onto her. Since I have been put onto her I feel that it’s only right that I introduce you all to her too so everybody I present Jhene Aiko.
Jojo has been MIA for a while trying to figure out some issues with her label but in the midst of all the drama she has recorded and finished her third album. So new music from her is coming our way very soon, and the anticipation is growing even more so after the great job she done on her remix for Drake‘s ‘Marvins Room’ song. I’ve always like her so this track is just a song that I like. Whether or not it would have been a hit or not is I haven’t decided.
