Our best days can inspire excellence.

I am a healthcare executive completing a dual degree, Master of Public Health / Doctor of Health Sciences, focused on raising awareness about behavioral health, specifically among teens and college students. My dissertation research is focused on raising up the voice of college students beginning with communities of color. I am committed to helping people connect to their purpose in collaboration with mission-aligned leaders. Together we will achieve great things!

Our project is a first step in raising awareness about a national health epidemic. All proceeds are reinvested directly into proactive strategies for improving behavioral health among youth, teens, and young adults in collaboration with community partners.

Our youth, teens, and young adults are reporting the highest levels of loneliness on record according to the U.S. Surgeon General. Our work is going to help change that through simple actions that bring people together for the common good, focused on lifting people up, and creating stronger in person connections.

Lyrics:
You come around
You make me sick
With that cool lovey dovey shit
You never care
How far you go
You just can't get enough of it
I bite my tongue
I bide my time
You lick your lips
You drink your wine
I keep on waiting
Waiting in line
Hoping for some kind of sign

I pretend that I don't notice
But I know down deep inside that

I want a love like that
I want a love
Strong like a heart attack
To fire me up

Call me up
Real late at night
When the sex isn't dynamite
Let's skip dessert
That mini skirt
Yeah you know it's the one I like
I wish you well
You wish me worse
I write you speeches
That sound rehearsed
I keep on reaching
But in reverse
Hoping I can break this curse

I pretend that I don't notice
But I know down deep inside that

I want a love like that
I want a love
Strong like a heart attack
To fire me up

Going out my mind
Waiting for some sign
Going out my mind and I say
Going out my mind
Waiting for some sign
Going out my mind

Lyrics:
You know I’m on it like I want it
Ain’t that the way it’s supposed to be
I’m ‘bout my business tryin’ to get this
A better life for you and me
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me

Baby Huey Hard Times on my (timeline)
Devils praying on my demise (outside)
But with you in my life my ride (or die)
We can get our slice of the pie
Just you and I no lie no lie

You know I’m on it like I want it
Ain’t that the way it’s supposed to be
I’m ‘bout my business tryin’ to get this
A better life for you and me
You and me
You and me
You and me
You and me

Picture you and me in first class full fare (out there)
Clinkin’ with a pinky up in the air (glassware)
In the delicest of fabric
We can have it all
We can have it all
Just get your back up off the wall

So many problems in this world today
Let’s hit the floor and dance them all away
Tomorrow we’ll resume reality
Together you and me

Lyrics:
Come and take a ride in my world
I’ll give you more than diamonds and pearls
I got a little extra texture
For you girl
Ooh I see you shining so bright
And it’s the perfect timing tonight
I got a little extra texture
That’s right

Too long
I’ve been waiting for a woman like you
To walk in the door
And leave my jaw on the floor
I know you’re sick of promises galore
Words that I’m certain you’ve heard all before
But baby I’ve got something more

Come and take a ride in my world
I’ll give you more than diamonds and pearls
I got a little extra texture
For you girl
Ooh I see you shining so bright
And it’s the perfect timing tonight
I got a little extra texture
That’s right

There’s something about this one that’s got me kind of sprung
I really like the way we groove
It’s always so much fun
She never tries to level me down
And she never wears a frown
I think this one’s a keeper y’all
And I hope our love never falls down

Lyrics:
It feels so good to me
Can't control myself
When you're close to me
It's too good to be true
Can't control myself
When I'm close to you

My temperature is rising through the roof
Nothing can help me through
I tried my best to find a substitute
Nobody else will do
Ooh

This pull’s gravitational
Every time I cross that line
There’s no getting over you
And it’s messing up my mind

It feels so good to me
Can't control myself
When you're close to me
It's too good to be true
Can't control myself
When I'm close to you

Your magic spell has taken hold of me
I’m hooked to from head to toe
I tried to drown it out with Hennessy
I still can’t let you go
Woah

This pull’s gravitational
Every time I cross that line
There’s no getting over you
And it’s messing up my mind

It feels so good to me
Can't control myself
When you're close to me
It's too good to be true
Can't control myself
When I'm close to you

I can’t control it
I can’t control myself
I can’t control it
I can’t control myself

So Good

Tortured Soul's TSTC Records presents "Choice Cuts," a compilation of timeless classics from Cooly's Hot Box!

Formed in New York City's thriving acid jazz scene during the 1990s by Tortured Soul's lead singer and drummer, John-Christian Urich, and renown soul singer Angela Johnson, Cooly's Hot Box burst onto the scene with with "Don't Throw My Love Around," featured on the first Giant Steps compilation released by London's Downtown Records.  The song was later sampled for the main riff in Armand Van Helden's "Funk Phenomena," which rose to #1 on the Canadanian RPM Dance Chart and #38 on the UK Singles Chart in 1996.  The band soon found themselves opening for the likes of B.B. King, A Tribe Called Quest, Zapp, The Neville Brothers, Guru, and India.Arie.  After a series of singles and remixes, Cooly's Hot Box released two full-length albums, "Take It," and "Don't Be Afraid: Get On," to audience and critic rave reviews.

Cooly's Hot Box formed the launch pad for the careers of Urich and Johnson, with Urich going on to form seminal live house act, Tortured Soul, and working with producers like Roger Sanchez and DJ Spinna and performing many hundreds of concerts worldwide.  Johnson has since enjoyed international success as a solo artist and composer, releasing several albums and singles, and writing chart-topping hits for artists like Double (Japan).

If you've never heard Cooly's Hot Box before, or if you've misplaced your original vinyl, TSTC Records has your back.  Here are 14 Choice Cuts, culled from the albums and singles of Cooly's catalog, re-released in their original sheen for your listening pleasure!
