Hip-Hop's §tate oƒ §unshine

As of today, I’m adding a new feature on my blog called “Because It’s Wednesday” in which I will highlight good music of all shapes, sizes, colors, and genres…just because it’s wednesday. I will be posting at least 10 songs/videos that may or may not be Hip-Hop/Rap on one random Wednesday out of every month! I will ALWAYS include something old, something new, and something borrowed. Enjoy = )

ELLE VARNER x J. COLE - “ONLY WANNA GIVE IT TO YOU”

I LOVE her voice! This song is the cutest and J.Cole drops a few dope bars too! Niceeee.

Sid Sriram - “We All Try” (Cover)

I nearly fell in love with him watching him sing this! And Doc Skim definitely did his thing on the keys! This is one of my favorite Frank Ocean songs and I’m more than happy they didn’t disappoint!

Reema Major - “I Am Legend”

S/O to all the female emcees!! Reema Major is a pretty cool one.

Cage The Elephant - “Shake Me Down”

                                                      ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀

Raphael Saadiq - “Movin’ Down The Line (Don’t You Go Away)”

This is the kind of song a girl who enjoys good music for the soul would get silly and dance to in the morning in her panties & t-shirt making breakfast. Yup. I did it.

                                                      ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀

Anhayla - “Fall For Your Type”

I would LOVE to hear this talented woman sing some gospel! She has an amazing voice. Make sure you check out some of her original music & her covers especially Rihanna’s “Man Down” written by Rock City who I had the pleasure to meet a few weeks ago. Great guys!

                                                      ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀ ☀

The Weeknd - “The Birds (Part 1)”

If you aren’t hip to The Weeknd yet, SHAME ON YOU!

Sonyae Elise - “☠” & “✈”

This girl is awesome. All the music she’s dropped has been incredible! Funny how little people can have BIG voices lol. Check out two tracks from her latest release, “Lady Rebel Vol. 2”. Props to Midi Mafia!
