I remember when I was driving around  about a year ago( In Leicester)  and I pulled up to a red light and I saw a group of girls singing: ” We gon’ be alright.” When you’re watching a TV show or watching someone being interviewed or you’re overhearing a conversation don’t you just love it when someone else is saying exactly how you feel about something. Like you start saying: YESSSSSS!!!! THAT IS IT EXACTLY!!!!! I’m  literally like that lol. I don’t want to speak about the added connotations of this song because the music video pretty much speaks for

One of the most icoonic lines I’ve ever heard from songs is one of  Jay-z’s line: ” Lock my body you can’t trap my mind..” I feel as though lines that have so much in common with this week’s choice. I don’t really like watching the news, listening to politicians or reading mainstream newspapers, for a variety of reasons. I don’t want to start sounding like those conspiracy theorists that are just ranting about what’s wrong with the world  because they also take it too far. But those politicians and news programmes talk about what the masses and the average

What I love about this song was the marketing. I was hearing about this song through people before I had actually heard it for myself, the boy from Toronto really has this game on lock. I love how he can switch up his style when he needs to. This song isn’t as deep as some of his music usually it but it’s still just as powerful, it’s an anthem you can sing along to. “Do you love me I told her only partly, I only…. ” I’ve got a question for you to think about if you’re reading this. If

I haven’t heard The Weeknd’s new body of work I’ve been so busy I haven’t got around to it! But this tune really has vibes of the Trilogy.  The thing about the Weeknd- for me anyway- is that he makes me feel so deeply even though I may have never gone through what he’s actually talking about in the content of his songs. That’s when you know you have powerful music. Like some of his songs from Trilogy he was referring to substance abuse, I don’t do drugs but the power of the song just got me singing along to

Lil Uzi Vert is part of a new generation of rap that I don’t really listen to too much.  But what I like about artists like Lil Uzi Vert is that they just focus on themselves and don’t look to start issues with anyone. If you don’t know what I mean a simple google search of a couple of rappers within this wave are calling out OG’s in rap which is something I don’t like to see. But Lil Uzi seems like a good, very talented individual. Much more power to him good people that are successful is something I

I remember when there was talking of Giggs and Sneakbo linking up to do a tune last year. It’s was dope just two dudes like this come up and be successful but then to link up and do a tune together is something else altogether. Beef and rappers competing is entertaining I’m not gonna deny it. But I personally prefer this. The UK scene is growing but it still isn’t like the American rap scene or the EDM scene hence beefs can be fatal for a rapper’s career. That’s why link ups like this- in my opinion- help progress all

This song is so real on so many levels. I love to watch interviews and read books of people in ( or previously in )prominence.  From Sophia Amoruso to Eminem; from Spartacus to TLC( the band) I want to hear their stories. One commonality I started to see in almost all these people’s stories was that almost all of them they had some sort of vice that would keep them sane. And I feel as though everyone has something, and we’re not exempt because sometimes life can get really hard. This song reminds of an interview I saw with Macklemore

Working full-time and having RMD people ask me how are you able to manage to do both? I usually say somethiing cool like it’s my passion what I love to do or something like that. But in reality I really don’t know lol! Having so many things to balance at the same time I have no idea how it gets done, but it does. One of the things though I really like to do is to do nothing. I almost like it as much as I like doing anything involved with RMD. On bank holiday Monday it was really hot,

I love how Saba is talking about some very real things in society that are happening but is making it sound cool and something you can sing along to.  That’s the power of music for me just shown right there. In his chorus I can imagine him performing this and the crowd singing along to every single word, but if you take a minute to realise what he actually said it’s  pretty depressing. But songs do that don’t sometimes, right? Like they say things in such a way that you actually completely forget the essence of what the artist is

About 6 years ago I met a family friend for the first time his name was Martin. He asked me what kind of music I was listening to and I showed him. To put it mildly he didn’t like it at all haha. Then he started putting me on to some of the artists that he used to listen to when he was younger. Then he played a few songs from the group- of this week’s SOTW amongst other artists such as Erykah Badu and Q-Tip. I loved the lyricism and the smoothness of their tracks and in Martin’s expressive
