The idea behind Throwback Thursday is to shed light and bring new life to music by veteran artists who's work is often overlooked and underappreciated. My first TBT jam is of Pharcyde's "Otha Fish". I encourage anyone who is unfamiliar with their music to check out the original version on YouTube -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wA0IUwtKwhE

The second installment of Throwback Thursday is dedicated to Artifacts; a super dope group from Newark, New Jersey. I encourage anyone who is unfamiliar to check out their first CD, Between a Rock and a Hard Place. You will not be disappointed.

Get Down

The "Third Edition" of my Throwback Thursday saga is dedicated to Digable Planets--a super, super, funky group based out of NYC. My favorite thing about them is that they're all named after different types of bugs and they frequently reference bugs in their lyrics. The female emcee, Ladybug Mecca, is originally from Silver Spring, Maryland, a city not too far from where I grew up. Check out the original on YouTube --https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CUYvjhsL5a4&feature=kp

"Air", the first release from his upcoming album, Bloom, stresses the importance of taking chances and stepping outside of our comfort zones. The song carries a message of hope and resilience, standing as a reminder that our greatest successes are a product of our many failures.

Brain Rapp - Not Today (Prod. By Commoninterest)

"This Is Fine" was inspired by the meme of the same name.  It's a song about climate change and how f*cked we all are if we don't do something about it. The lyrics are fueled by the sadness I feel for my nieces, nephews, and all the children that are too young to understand the world they're going to be inheriting. My goal is to inspire people of all ages to take action before it's too late.
