Music

We all love music. We wouldn't know what to do with our self's if we didn't have music. It's what we turn to when we are feeling some type of way weather it be because of something going on in your life or you just having some strange mood swings. I like to listen to artist who actually talk about something important, you know incorporate what is going on in the world in their songs that grab our attention. I love Kendrick Lamar. I've been listening to him before he even made it to mainstream. He truly is a lyrical genius and I find it so attractive. I would have to say my favorite song from him is between "Hiipower" and "The Art of Peer Pressure" because those songs speak volumes to me and he is actually talking about empowerment against the government and how you can like your peers influence what you do. I love the whole TDE gang but I have to say my favorite rapper out is definitely Ab-Soul. I love him too much and his album Control System is everything. My favorite song is "Pineal Gland" and I go mad hard when that song comes on. But I must say that the song I feel people should listen to when they check him out is "Double Standards". Now in our class discussions we are constantly throwing out double standards and every time I hear one I just start to sing this song in my head. The title speaks for itself, I suggest people to listen to it. This two are my favorite in the game (more so Ab-Soul) and I am so happy I was able to see them in concert this past September when they came here. It was a great show and I was in the front screaming my lungs out when they both performed. Other rap artist I like who speak on factual feelings and issues are Drake and J Cole. Well, enough about rap, Im moving on to some R&B and soul music. My favorite singer is hands down Jhene Aiko. Ever since I heard her song on a makeup tutorial about a year ago I have been hooked to her ever since. I'm always mentioning her to my friends and to people on twitter and I must say I have gotten others hooked on her as well. She has a mixtape called Sailing Souls and it is amaze balls. My favorite song from that would be "You vs Them". Just a beautiful song and that was the first song I heard from her that got me hooked. She has her debut album Souled Out coming out in March and I'm so excited ! Plus, I mentioned her on twitter this past May and she replied back and told me she loved me ! I was so happy, now if she would just come to Orlando to do a show I will be fulfilled. These are basically the main people I listen to on a daily basis other then Rihanna of course
