Starting a thread of my favorite(s) songs for the day. Each day...until I get tired or forget.
You probably won't like everything and that's okay. But I hope you find at least something you like.

5.14 - Daam by The Alkaholics (1994).
Always known this sample for Sleeping in my Bed (So So Def Remix) by Dru Hill but I love this take too. The Alkaholics (thanks to E-Swift and Madlib) had some of the coolest beats in the 90s.

5.14 late addition: God Loves You by @rocmarci
One of the coolest choruses I've heard in a while. A hustlers hymn I'll say.
"Hang me on the cross in all my gold // Let my soul leave holy // Let these raf seats hold me"

5.16 -- Its So Hard [Big Pun] Iman Omari Flip.
Found this years ago on SoundCloud while making a mix. It's always been a favorite ever since. The beat tape this was on (without vocals) is here: https://tidal.com/album/51057348

The 2015 Iman Omari beattape has been on repeat. Been sweet chilling to it like I did in college. Brings back great memories.

What Kind of Music by @TomMisch ans @YussefDayes
A beautiful song. And Yussef murders the drums in this simplistic but complicated way. Its stuff like this that makes me love music.

Was on a nostolgia trip. This quarentine has allowed me to tap into things I enjoy on a childlike level. So shout out to Summer 2011. Feels a bit like that right now.

Grieving x @Kehlani x @jamesblake
My favorite song on the project. Love the production and was cool to hear Kehlani on this type of record. Also a fan of chorus like these.

6.4 in an effort to take my mind off things...
Remembered my favorite @intanetz song "Curse." Always wished it was it's own song. Favorite thing abt this is SYD's vocals (esp the high note) and Patrick's simple bass playing.
Song @ 2:46

6.7 -- Suspect by Nas
Revisted "It Was Written" the other day. WAY better than history remembers it.
Suspect is def a low-key gem on the album I never paid attention to growing up. (just had like 4 other favorites.)
Flow is crazy on this track too.

County Line x Cass McCombs
Watching the rain from my window and I began singing this song. I did that a lot when I first heard this in High School.
Something's don't change.

6.14 One Eye Open x @blackmarblenyc
My favorite song of the last 6 months. Drunk late night biking trips in BK. Running around London streets. And all the emotional stuff in between.

Never the Same x STRFKR
This has become one of my favorite outside songs. With clubs and parties not being a thing right now, 60s inspired indie songs have really crept back up as my favorite type of music to listen to.

Church Bells x Orion
Caught this track one if the latest @thrashermag videos. Outside of immediately wanting to hop on my board and go to anywhere, I was reminded of my very passionate 16 year old energy. Very nostologic but current.

7.21 -- JAR x @GreenDay
One of the most impactful songs of my youth. The ending meant a lot to me growing up and the general fear of aging. Means a lot more to me now given subject matter and now a whole decade older from when I first heard it.

7.28 - Into the Mystic x Van Morrison.
I'm never up this early and seeing the sun and stuff has me playing this on a loop.

Haven't added to this thread in a month. Really revisted the Yes Lawd album by @AndersonPaak + @knxwledge and forgot how much I loved this song.
Really makes me miss Friday nights
