I trust all is well and that you’re settling into 2021 nicely. We’re 2 weeks in and a lot has happened; good, bad, and ugly. The one thing that remains constant through it all is your resilience and dope music! I’ve got some fiery music queued up to help keep you moving throughout your day.

First up is Ian Wallace, a producer and DJ who kills it every time with his remixes. His latest jawn “365” is a spin on the classic Anita Baker record “Same Ole Love”. You can cop this record right here.

Next up is beatmaker, keyboardist, and producer extraordinaire, VintageGotDaHeat. He just dropped a beattape that was inspired by being in quarantine called From The Heart that you’re gonna love. Pick that jawn up right now, right here.

Rounding out the music of the show is one of my favorite bands out of the UK, Kokoroko. They combine brass and Jazz with the tribal rhythms to create some of the dopest Afrobeat riddims on the planet. Grab your copy and add it to your playlists.

Thanks for listening. Stay dope and stay awesome!
