FEATURED PLAYLIST
TEST DRIVE is a playlist consisting of songs with black and white cover art that have been on my rotation. TEST DRIVE the project, is a photo mural of black and white portraiture on the ForwardThinking Wall at 1925 W. North Avenue in Baltimore, Maryland. The playlist serves as a companion to the project, reflecting the theme of black and white.
Featuring mostly RnB, pop, and hip-hop the playlist has a wide range of artists starting with the soulful genius of Moses Sumney and Lucky Daye, to the cutting bars of Butch Dawson and Baby Keem, but also some welcome tunes from Miley Cyrus and WILLOW. With a total of 28 songs and 1 hour and 30 minutes of listening time, the playlist is certainly a journey worth engaging with.
WHEN ITS TIME 2 LEAVE
This playlist, made in the spring of '2023, is a two part journey told in 9 songs, starting, splitting, and ending with artists from Chicago. Featuring Vic Mensa, Kendrick Lamar, Florence + the Machine, Jean Deaux, and others - this playlist is meant to uplift and inspire greater. I hope it helps you as it has helped me.
WHEN ITS TIME TO LEAVE
This playlist, made in May 2022, was created after I didn’t get an internal promotion that I was buttered up for. And thus, I let music say the words I couldn’t say at the time. This playlist was made for release, confirmation, empowerment, and expression. This is for letting go - whether its a job, whether it’s your town, a toxic partner.
TOO COOL PLAYLIST VOL 3 - March ‘23
This playlist was made with California,or at least the feel of California, in mind. We start with a couple jams to ride down the seemingly endless highways. Sprinkled throughout the playlist we get some alternative tracks for the skaters before closing it out with some more meditative tracks for the hundreds of miles worth of coastline. Give it a listen if you vibe with Teezo Touchdown, Seinabo Sey, Kyle Dion, and more.
TOO COOL PLAYLIST VOL 1
The first edition of the Too Cool Playlist series inspired by some new releases of some fresh Black faces across a spectrum of genres. Outside of the more mainstream names, the artists on this iteration of Too Cool provide an air of quality musicianship in respect to their genre. From RnB, to singer-songwriter, to indie pop, and more - these are some new faces to pay attention to.
TAURUS ENERGY THE PLAYLIST
Inspired by my magnum opus in the works (Taurus Energy), I assembled a playlist of some amazing fellow Tauruses. 27 songs to celebrate 27 years of life as I released it ahead of my 27th birthday. What is Taurus energy? Taurus energy is confidence. Sexiness. Not just reading the room but being the room. Us Tauruses are pretty special and so give it a listen, especially if you like Janet Jackson, Rico Nasty, LEAN, Kelsey Lu, and Cousin Tito.
