Description: One of my older cuts Malicks on the beat!

Classic style matey, from lyrics to production - big dose of the good stuff!

ABOUT LAKIN:

With a warmth in her voice that soothes like honey, this singer/songwriter is sure to draw you in with her eclectic blend of pop, neo-soul & folk, utilizing live instrumentation & lyrics that reflect the emotions of life, love & the journey of the heart.

ABOUT THE ALBUM:

Lakin showcases her strength of songwriting & pure vocal warmth in her self-produced debut album, If Night Turns to Daylight. Her eclecticism shines through each song as she takes you on a stylistic journey: from pop/R&B tunes like "My Heart Still Beats The Same" to jazz influences of the early 40s in "Second Street" to bluegrass, folky sounds found in "I Choose You" to the beauty of simplicity in her ballad, "Why Are You So Beautiful?" Underlying her exploration of genre is a landscape of lyrical content. "If night turns to daylight" itself is a lyrical statement from her soundtrack-esque song, "Feel You"; a reminder that through all of the emotions of life, positive to negative, we are all in need of the bond that we find through meaningful relationship. 

About her music, Lakin shares, "One thing that I always hope someone takes away from my music is an authentic feeling of connection. We all go through different things in life & endure different hardships, but at the end of the day, we all experience love & pain & joy. I would like to think that we all feel a sense of hope when we find that someone else has gone through what we have. After all, connection is what we live for."

Kiss Me Goodbye

This track is called "The People" and it features the legendary Chuck D from Public Enemy. You can download it for free at our website http://goo.gl/9DWGVZ.

The idea for the song came from a couple of samples, and the track's vibe is earnest and has a pressing tone to it.  The lyrics are commentaries of our struggles and successes, our weaknesses and strengths... the experiences... and trials and tribulations we have faced as human beings, a race, and as individuals. Lyrically Chuck brings a sense of authority and urgency. The power in his voice demands your attention. With Chuck on the track this is a dream come true for us.

Originally "The People" was suppose to drop in June around the same time the Chuck D/Hot 97/Peter Rosenberg situation took place. We chose to hold off and not add fuel to any fires. Our next aim was for a Black Friday release. Coincidentally the Ferguson tragedy took place, and more recently the non-indictment verdict. Somehow this song was destined to be a part of something more than just dropping a joint.  We hope it will lend itself to something positive in these difficult times.

We created some merchandise for this song that is for sale (The People T-Shirt & Sweatshirt). Proceeds from the merch will be donated to two organizations: All Star Code and I Love Ferguson.

All Star Code is an organization that helps under served youth make their way into the tech industry.  We've been building, strategizing, and working with developers for the past year, and we understand the importance of education in tech. We have a music tech company that we'll be launching soon called Daisy (http://daisycollective.com/).  It's important that we have more people from our community and our culture involved in this space.  We just want to do our part in making that happen and ultimately help build the future of music.    

I Love Ferguson is a organization that's helping to rebuild the town of Ferguson, MO. We feel strong about helping and supporting the small businesses that have been affected in that area.

Gypsy Mamba & Kenny Segal - Phishing

P.E.A.C.E. was the youngest member of the legendary LA alternative hip hop group Freestyle Fellowship.  This is a track I made with producer Drysquid, aka Lil Smokie, circa 2007 for our Aquadry project.  We never got around to actually releasing it yet now in memory of his passing we are putting this out for the world to appreciate in his honor.  Interestingly, the subject matter of the song is more relevant today than ever.   P.E.A.C.E. was a once-in-a-lifetime talent with a supernatural ability to freestyle off of the top of his head but could also take direction and write compelling songs such as this one.   Rest in peace  to one of the best to ever do it.
