I love see Big Sean’s progression. I remember before he was seen as being Kanye’s young little protege now he’s really made a lane for himself. This choice reminds me of something all these motivational speakers always say: ” You need to see the success before it happens! You know! ” Sometimes when you hear them say this and the way in which they say it you’re mentally like shut up,  its not that straightforward. But they’re certainly onto something in my opinion. I f you keep visualising it your actions will start moving you in that direction, slowly but

It is very rarely that I come across an Afrobeats  song that I enjoy listening to but I can say with absolute certainty this is a song I genuinely love after hearing it a number of times. I don’t like touching on sensitive subjects such as race on my blog. But after watching the video of this song and hearing the content it will be like not addressing the elephant in the room. Growing up being dark-skinned or “African” was usually frowned upon and I think that was the same experience that a lot of darker skinned people have had

This is a clean choice. This song really reminds of Can’t Tell Me Nothing by Kanye. Or Drake’s How About Now? Every has those people in your life that thought you weren’t anything and even said it to you. I’m no different my life is full of those  types of people. What I started realising is that success is usually the best revenge. I remember I watched Chadwick Boseman give an interview he was talking about how people used to be racist to him when he was younger living in the South of America. Well the tables really have turned!

I’m not a big fan of politics. If I was honest I would pretty much say that I detest it. The lies, the misleading information, the lack of transparency its all a pretty murky industry to be honest. But the only thing is that despite my detest for politics I can’t get away from it even if I wanted to. It’s like saying I hate football( soccer) and you live England. Well, you can’t really get away from it. For instance: You’re trying to go see your friend at 2pm and you call to  tell her you’re going to be

Jay-Z is one my favourite artists. I’m currently listening to his whole discography. I’m currently in listening to Dynasty Roc La Familia and The Blueprint. I’m doing ths because I always admired him, Rocafella and their whole movement; and at the age I’m at  I can finally appreciate such a complex artist and the many layers he has in his is music. Because of where I’m at right now on on his discography I haven’t heard this album but I will get to it. I love the feel of this song and the video. It feels really like House Lannisters

With this song I did a bit of research but I couldn’t really find conclusive evidence as to who Van Morrison was talking about in this song. The passion that is portrayed in this  makes me feel so sure that this is a personal experience that he went through. I’ve searched on Google, read his wikipedia page but still there is no real answer as to who this song is actually referring to. Tuberculosis took the lives of many people in the post-world war two era.  Maybe Van felt guilty that with a fledgling music career that so many of

Do you just love hearing someone give a speech or seeing someone speak on TV and they are speaking your exact point of view. And you start screaming PREAAAACCH!! PREEAAAAACHH!! That’s what I feel like this choice does for a lot of people that don’t have a voice. Everyone knows Black Panther came out like a month ago. And its like one of the highest grossing films in box office history I think.  Everyone talks about its good to have black representation in a film and I agree, it is. But the funny thing is that I personally feel like

This blog  was supposed to be done around the start of the year but to be honest I really didn’t know what to write so I just left it as a draft. I didn’t understand what was being said, but sonically I did think it sounded on point. Coming back to do SOTW I saw Matthias’s choice in draft and I had to do it. Everybody has a vice of some sort. If you say you don’t you’re lieing! Or you just haven’t lived long enough. One of mine was that I used to watch a lot of Television Programmes

I was going to do a blog on this song a few months ago but after listening to it a few times I really didn’t know what to write. But after looking at some context of this song and the artist singing this song all the material I needed just starting flooding to me. I have so much to say with a song like this and I’m probably not going to say everything I want to say but I’ll do it as much justice as I possibly can. The pain and the solace I feel from  hearing such an incredible

I’m so happy to see Bryson Tiller so successful. Apparently he used to work for UPS the British equivalent of Royal Mail. This song is a very modern R&B song with some old school vibes to it. The funniest thing about this choice and the other song which I have chosen this week- from Nicole- was that Nicole’s choice probably laid the foundations for Kachenelle’s choice. I haven’t personally been in a relationship with an insecure other. So it would be very difficult for me to discuss this song in an authentic an honest manner that will do the song
