Feel Good Fridays: Len

Last year I was in a heated debate about whether or not this song sucked. I've always liked it and this morning I heard "More, More, More" by Andrea True Connection - which is where Len lifted the sample from (at the 2:22 mark). Put this on and groove.

Throwback Thursdays: Billy Preston

Some might say that the inspiration for The Muppets' Dr. Teeth and the Electric Mayhem was none other than Dr. John. But I say that fifth Beatle Billy Preston should also be credited. Dig his 1974 boogie-woogie soul classic and tell me I'm wrong.

Way Gone Wednesdays: Best Vines

Since summer I thought this was my favorite vine - but we now have another contender...

Real Talk Tuesdays: T.R.U.T.H.

My buddy T.R.U.T.H. opened up for Rhymesayers Artist Grieves last night. Couldn't be more proud of her. She's a super skilled emcee and just wants to work hard. Good things lay ahead for sure. Dig this.

Madhouse Mondays: Electric Wire Hustle

New Zealand duo Electric Wire Hustle will help you shake the cobwebs out on this dreary Monday morning. Dig this.
