I’m eternally grateful to @heymrscreigh for asking me to join. 🙏 Having this opportunity to provide a platform for local musicians has been a gift.

@creativemorningschs has my heart and eternal respect.

Lastly, huge shout out to @veranationgirl for taking the musical reins going into 2024 and beyond. 🤘

Continuing Hip-Hop History Month with an appreciat

Continuing Hip-Hop History Month with an appreciation post on my top five female Hip-Hop artists.
Now, it was very hard to pick just five so I selected three OG artists and two on the rise artists.
Who’s on your list of top females in Hip-Hop?

1. Queen Latifah made her mark by rapping about the issues on afrocentric feminism and made a point to showcase female camaraderie within the music industry <cue "Ladies First">. She's carried her influence over into other mediums which proved successful as she's won a Golden Globe award, two Screen Actors Guild Awards, two Image Awards, a Grammy Award, six additional Grammy nominations, an Emmy Award nomination and an Academy Award nomination.

2. Lil' Kim gained notoriety in the 90's Hip-Hop group, Junior M.A.F.I.A., that was formed and mentored by Notorious B.I.G. She blended Hip-Hop and fashion to flaunt her femininity while still owning her lyrical prowess creating a legacy that continues today in artists like Cardi B., Megan Thee Stallion, and Nicki Minaj.

3. Missy Elliott's influence on Hip-Hop can be described as a force; her executionary style ranges from her unorthodox stop-and-stop flow to rapid-fire. She's proficient not only at rapping but at singing, writing, producing, performing, and creating, making her a stand out amongst others in the Hip-Hop scene and laying the groundwork for future musical innovators.

4. LG's style consists of dynamic sounds with unapologetic lyrics, a sonic and poetic slap in the face. She learned to play the drums and piano at 6 and at 12 she started recording her own music. Her music serves as a reminder that with each step forward is an opportunity to succeed. Listen to her tunes, "YBM" and "Pocket Full of Coins".

5. Little Simz is a UK rapper that describes her music as experimental. She's been releasing music since 2014 and has created a buzz around her soulful and complex sound within the Hip-Hop scene. She cites Lauryn Hill, Nina Simone, Billie Holiday, Nas, and Busta Rhymes as influences. To understand her sound fully, I recommend listening to her singles, "Gorilla" and "Venom".

Hip-Hop’s lasting influence on American culture

Hip-Hop’s lasting influence on American culture will be recognized and celebrated for years to come as November is designated as Hip-Hop History Month.

The birth of Hip-Hop was a cultural movement that began in the 1970’s in the Bronx by DJ Kool Herc.

As a passionate music fan, my educational journey on music never ends. Through my research, I discovered an amazing timeline from Carnegie Hall that plots out the roots of Rap/Hip-Hop.

I’ll link the timeline in my bio if y’all want to learn more about the historical importance of this genre and how it continues to influence the music of today. 🤘

I'm always on the search for my next favorite song

I'm always on the search for my next favorite song or artist; this month I've been playing Leah Marie Mason's debut EP, Honeydew & Hennessy, nonstop.

It's the kind of record you listen to when you're feeling nostalgic for a previous life but appreciate your journey to your present place.

The North Carolina native turned Nashville based singer songwriter has a knack for writing cinematic songs where you can visualize the story unfolding as you listen.

Combine that with her airy vocal tone and quotable one liners like, "You think a hard day in the sun is 18 on the course" or "Thе angel on my shoulder was a little bit too sobеr", make for an album that you'll want to spin a few more times to take it in sonically and lyrically.

Make sure to give her a follow, @leahmmason 🤘

I was able to spend some time in Nashville last month with the amazing @kasstheish and @maranda_joybird.

Nashville is such a special city being surrounded by so many talented musicians and artists.

I was able to check out @dogsinapileband at @exit_in and @michellebranch at @citywinerynsh.

It was a great stop on my current walkabout and cannot wait to visit again. 🫶

I first learned of Run the Jewels when Spotify recommended their single, “Close Your Eyes”.
(Thanks, Spotify)

Naturally, I went down a musical rabbit hole consuming all RTJ’s music and I’ve been a loyal listening fan ever since that day.

In honor of their 10th anniversary on tour this year, RTJ will play four-night stands in NYC, Chicago, LA, and ATL. Each night they’ll play an album in full, RTJ1 on night 1, RTJ2 on night 2….you get the idea.

Thankfully, I was able to snag tickets to their RTJ4 show at @easternatl for Thursday night.

Any of my ATL frands going to the show? 👉🤛

I hope y’all enjoy. 🤘🦜🫶

I fell in love with The Goo Goo Dolls when I stumb

I fell in love with The Goo Goo Dolls when I stumbled upon their 1995 album, A Boy Named Goo.

The first album track, "Long Way Down", was played on repeat as I couldn't get enough of the heavy, loud guitar solo. I'm the type of listener that hears the guitar and drums first way before the lyrics. Am I strange that way? Anyone else like that?

I'll be playing that song on repeat again today in preparation for tonight's GGD show at Asheville's Rabbit Rabbit.

This will be my first time seeing a show at this venue so I'm excited to check it out and with the openers, Fitz and the Tantrums, it'll sure be a special time. 🤘

Anyone else attending the show?
