Salaam

Song of the Day – ‘Hurricane’

  Spotify continued its candidacy for ‘Favorite Addition to My Routine’ in the past couple years when it threw this one at me this morning. Was having flashbacks to Pizza Shuttle Sprites, Perkins after the set, and days swiftly passed.  Specific references to a specific moment in the Life. Enjoy!  

Song of the Day – ‘Get Ur Freak On’

  Made it to another weekend! This one isn’t in the rotation all the time anymore, but every time I hear it, as soon as the beat hits, I’m like ‘Yep, this is a first ballot Hall of Famer.’ Take care of each other.  Another movie review Sunday night. Peace!  

Song of the Day – ‘Smile’

  Excited to hear Steve McQueen behind a 2Pac documentary.  The producers behind it have made some of the better music documentaries in recent years.  Not sure how much new information there is about Pac at this point, but I guess we’ll see. That’s the segway to today’s song choice. Enjoy!
