Anybody who knows me well knows that music is a huge part of my life (fun fact: it's a dream of mine to be tasked with compiling the soundtrack for a movie or TV series)

Here's a thread of some of my favorite playlists: different genres, different moods, great music

Enjoy! 💜🎶

Shamefully, I'd only known Drawn (because of Little Dragon), I'll be spending some real time with the whole project now though.

Currently playing Greyhounds (for the first time ever, as I type this) ... this shit's nice! 🔥

Lyrics from Robert Glasper's Violets (featuring Miles Davis and Phonte) - a segment of Phonte's verse highlighted:

Giving up is the last option
so when i spit my last doctrine
i make the audience clap foe my offensive lines
like they pass blocking
