Starting a thread of my favorite(s) songs for the day. Each day...until I get tired or forget.

You probably won& #39;t like everything and that& #39;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. https://youtu.be/XOB-gzpIDwc ">https://youtu.be/XOB-gzpID...
5.14 late addition: God Loves You by @rocmarci

One of the coolest choruses I& #39;ve heard in a while. A hustlers hymn I& #39;ll say.

"Hang me on the cross in all my gold // Let my soul leave holy // Let these raf seats hold me" https://youtu.be/slh2q48fnjc ">https://youtu.be/slh2q48fn...
5.16 -- Its So Hard [Big Pun] Iman Omari Flip.

Found this years ago on SoundCloud while making a mix. It& #39;s always been a favorite ever since. The beat tape this was on (without vocals) is here: https://tidal.com/album/51057348 ">https://tidal.com/album/510... https://youtu.be/EAo2BwfmDZo ">https://youtu.be/EAo2BwfmD...
5.17 (I& #39;m late. Sue me.)

I went biking through Brooklyn. A very vital part of that journey. https://youtu.be/L1G0jl0Vc64 ">https://youtu.be/L1G0jl0Vc...
5.18.

The 2015 Iman Omari beattape has been on repeat. Been sweet chilling to it like I did in college. Brings back great memories. https://youtu.be/XAA44Jonl-4 ">https://youtu.be/XAA44Jonl...
5.20

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. https://youtu.be/4az3mKDOrEo ">https://youtu.be/4az3mKDOr...
5.21

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. https://youtu.be/xnZN4-6Y_qY ">https://youtu.be/xnZN4-6Y_...
5.23 (another late addition.)

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. https://youtu.be/E6_3X3ofJVg ">https://youtu.be/E6_3X3ofJ...
5.26

Say it Again x @LittleBrotherNC

Classic beat. Classic album.

Best line: "I love Hip-Hop, I just hate the niggas in it." Always felt that like 1000% https://youtu.be/Ngbb4heIL7w ">https://youtu.be/Ngbb4heIL...
5.29

4:21am. Keeping calm. Been playing this one all week.

Set it off x Iman Omari https://youtu.be/AurNj8W6Los ">https://youtu.be/AurNj8W6L...
6.4 in an effort to take my mind off things...

Remembered my favorite @intanetz song "Curse." Always wished it was it& #39;s own song. Favorite thing abt this is SYD& #39;s vocals (esp the high note) and Patrick& #39;s simple bass playing.

Song @ 2:46 https://youtu.be/CNJkas_LiCM ">https://youtu.be/CNJkas_Li...
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. https://youtu.be/J82idxZOSp4 ">https://youtu.be/J82idxZOS...
6.11

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& #39;s don& #39;t change. https://youtu.be/3jfdEpz43_s ">https://youtu.be/3jfdEpz43...
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. https://youtu.be/o4x2XjiY3YI ">https://youtu.be/o4x2XjiY3...
Haven& #39;t posted on this thread in forever.

But listen to this Dinner Party EP asap. @terracemartin @9thwonder @robertglasper @KamasiW really did their thing on this. https://tidal.com/album/145257606 ">https://tidal.com/album/145...
7.16

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. https://youtu.be/jWWep8p11qo ">https://youtu.be/jWWep8p11...
7.16

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. https://youtu.be/apL6Ujz78aU ">https://youtu.be/apL6Ujz78...
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. https://youtu.be/q6kRM-rX0Gw ">https://youtu.be/q6kRM-rX0...
7.28 - Into the Mystic x Van Morrison.

I& #39;m never up this early and seeing the sun and stuff has me playing this on a loop. https://youtu.be/pbZf8GY1-Ag ">https://youtu.be/pbZf8GY1-...
7.31 -- Waiting Room x Fugazi

End of the work week and this is kind of what life feels like today. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=cMOAXm94VWo">https://m.youtube.com/watch...
8.25

Haven& #39;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 https://youtu.be/eHL3p-MJTd8 ">https://youtu.be/eHL3p-MJT...
