I start things of on a more somber note then usual, reflecting on recent events and then playing “Street Lights” by Kanye West. But, while this episode is more mellow than usual it isn’t down in the dumps for the entire duration of the broadcast.
Artist | Song | Album | Record Label | DJ Comments |
---|---|---|---|---|
Kanye West | Street Lights | 808s & Heartbreak | A very sad song from a very sad album. | |
Mac Miller | I'm Not Real | Watching Movies with the Sound Off | See Mac talk to billboard about the meaning of this song as part of a "track by track" interview here: https://youtu.be/FfMJq_mvNxo?t=2m5s | |
Dizzy Wright | God Bless America (feat. Chel'le, Big KRIT & Tech N9ne) | The Growing Process | I've been a K.R.I.T. fan for a while, and it was probably his verse that got me to check out this song originally. But, I think all the verses here are really good and timely given recent events. | |
Denzel Curry | This Life (feat. Ronny J) | Imperial | ||
Earl Sweatshirt | Knight | Doris | I love the smooth old school beat and slowed down vocals, as well as the self reflective lyrical content. | |
Isaiah Rashad | Heavenly Father (feat. SZA) | Cilvia Demo | ||
A$AP Rocky | Every Day (feat. Mark Ronson, Rod Stewart & Miguel) | AT.LONG.LAST.A$AP | ||
Earl Sweatshirt | Huey | I Don't Like Shit, I Don't Go Outside: An Album by Earl Sweatshirt | ||
Earl Sweatshirt | WIND IN MY SAILS | "My whole disposition like..." This is a one off single from Earl's Soundcloud. | ||
Joey Bada$$ | Devastated | |||
Kendrick Lamar | Alright | To Pimp A Butterfly | "We gone be alright!" | |
Kendrick Lamar | HiiiPoWeR | Section.80 | Hopeful, political, and motivational. I feel this song works as an excellent closer to the album and to this broadcast. |
