Find Your Love

Drake a.k.a. Drizzy Drake a.k.a. a creator of the new age "Hip Hop" just released the video to one of his softer songs, "Find Your Love". I am a true fan of the video. It is shot in Kingston, Jamaica and features the "Gully God" himself, the dancehall dj, Movado. Its about time that Movado gets a little shine, I haven't heard from him in a while but his presence is definitely felt in this video. I love how much of a drama it is, and how it shows the gritty and real essence of Jamaica. Big ups to Drake and Movado for this video.

Happy Tuesday, enjoy! ;-)

A jewel has been taken from us...

June 30, 1917 – May 9, 2010

One of the most influential African American artists of the 20th century has went home. Lena Horne was not only one of a kind when it came to her talents, she was an activist and always stood up for what she believed in. Her family is in our prayers.
We love you and will miss you! ♥

I wish that I could....

Have the same mind/conscious that J Dilla had, musically...
Have you ever wished that you could exist in another person's mind because you are so fascinated with their thoughts and ideas? And how they transformed these mechanisms into reality? This may be a weird thought to you, but this is what I feel when I really listen to J Dilla's music and try to come up with a conclusion on how he made his beats.........

To me, they are hella inspiring and I just go into a trance while listening to them...
Don't you agree?






Do you all think about the same thing? If so, who (what artist/writer/actor etc... inspires you) and why (what about their mind intrigues you)?

RIP J Dilla...your fans will keep your spirit alive 4eva
Peace ♥

The Queen B is making you "purrrr"....

UH-OHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
Kim is back!

Lil' Kim is back, yall! With all of this recent Nicki Minaj rae-rae I have been longing for Kim or Foxy to come out with something....and low and behold Kim gives her fans a sneak peak of one of her new songs called "Pussy Purr". I am very excited to hear Lil' Kim's voice and know that she is not letting the game play her, but I am not a fan of this song......When you all listen, I am pretty sure you will know why. It sounds too similar to the rapper that I mentioned before. Kim knows better than this and could've came so much harder than this....But I will not underestimate the Queen. She is my favorite female rapper and I know her better than, "making a pussy purr"....But we shall see what other songs that she has to drop this summer..... But you all be the judge, what do yall think?

Peace ♥

I need a Window Seat, this is going to be a long ride...

This past Saturday, Erykah Badu premiered her official music video for her second single off of her new LP, New Amerykah Part Two: Return of the Ankh, that is set to be released this Tuesday. The song "Window Seat" is so powerful, and the video is even more moving. But I wanted to share this video with you so that you all can understand how ill this woman is. The message that I receive from this video is that you must escape the harsh realities of this programmed world that we live in in order to realize your true self and to live freely. I mean, Badu is doing some bold things in this video....Things that I could NEVER allow myself to do, but this is why I love her so much.....She does whatever she wants to do because it frees her mentally and spiritually and all I can do is respect her for that.

So with that being said, what do you all think of the video? I respect all opinions.
Be easy, yall....Have a great Sunday! Jah Bless! ♥

Thursday Morning Inspiration

Hello, all!

Need a lil' inspiration this morning?
Just think of Happy Feelings......

I chose to post this amazing tune by Frankie Beverly and Maze today, because I feel that we all become stressed out by this time of the week......With work, family, friends among other things.....Life gets hectic. Sometimes you just have to slowdown and think about the happy times that you've had throughout life. It is only these kind of memories that will make you realize why life is so worthwhile. So don't give up yall, we have one more day until the weekend! KEEP ON MOVIN'!

Have a great day, guys.....Love ya! ♥

Friday night grooves

I hope everyone had a great Friday and that your weekend is starting off right. At soulbounce.com, today was Sade Day and I went totally bonkers. I just love Sade's music; to me she is in her own league of music. I can't even put her sound into a box, it is so unique and profound to me. I really hope that she considers doing a world tour because I would love to see her in the US in concert or even doing a callabo with a US artist would be nice.....WE WANT TO SEE MORE OF HER (lol)!

On another note, It seems like in a lot of cities today it rained (like it has here) and I feel that alot of Sade's music goes right along with that kind of mood.....calm, soothing and chilling....That's why I had to come on here and post one of my favorite songs of all times, Love Is Stronger Than Pride. The lyrics to this song always get me and I just love the instrumentation of the song. Sade really put her heart and soul into this song and you can feel it.

I hope you all enjoy this live performance, stay up and have a blessed weekend! ♥

This is why I love her so much...

Need I say more?

I am sorry, but Kelis is the single most creative female artist to ever grace this Earth. I came across this photo last night and became totally mesmerized. If anyone knows me, they know that my favorite color is blue and that I love dark things (hence, the blue photo of me on my side bar). This photo is heaven for me. So eerie, so dark yet light and beautiful. She took this photo during her photoshoot for her upcoming album entitled, Fleshtones. I am already in love with her album by this picture alone. I can tell that this album will have some pleasant musical and photo surprises for her fans and I am so ready for them. And I hear all of this RAEEEE RAEEEE about Lady Gaga and all of these other biting a** females but Kelis Rogers has BEEN on this futuristic tip and if you know her as an artist, then you already know this.

I hope you all are having a great day, keep hope alive. One ♥
