This is R&R music. Get lucky in the mid-afternoon music. Get through a tough assignment at work music. Soul music sans words but the feel is all there. Freestyle over it at a show music...

The start of the HeavyLight Experience...  A hip-hop/soul project made for the grown-ups without being stodgy. Some performance poetry that gets away from cliche and boredom. A melody filled soul project that lacks the selfish of exclusion -- we like pop culture.

HeavyLight Experience is about being open to the arts and regular things. (well, at least, this week!)
