For those who don't know, I recently transplanted to Atlanta aka A-Town aka the ATL aka HOTlanta (possibly due to the summers or Freak-nik, or both). I love it here, all the conveniences and activities of a big city and yet in the bosom of the polite south. What Atlanta is mostly know for, other than great southern cooking is music ... hip-hop to be true and I've experienced it's influence so much since I moved in. It was after a week of working, that I decided to hit the Korean spa in the near suburbs and turned the dial to what is the NPR / Georgia Tech radio. Now late night is always chock full of great hip-hop and even instrumentals for your freestyle parties. On this night, they happened to play this tune, which for me set itself apart because of a) the melody and b) the honesty of the singer, who I found out later was Supa Bwe. A little more research, and I discovered that these guys were not from Brooklyn or Atlanta's little 5 points but from Chicago's Westside - Hurt Everybody. So there ya go, it always comes back full circle and for me it was clear that from my days in Chicago to now my future in Atlanta - there was a connection.

FIFI RONG :: Intimacy (Phaeleh Remix)

I'm kind of a hippy. And I've been feeding this over the past few months with a Kundalini Dance and tantra practice. It's paying off in a lot of awesome ways, but this is not the scene for that conversation. As would be expected, the dancing through this practice is set to super sweet and hot music. My groove has been particularly vibing to this track in particular. Mad love and light to Leyolah Antara and her Kundalini Dance practice (and amazing soundcloud playlists) for the wake up call to beauty.

OKSURE :: Xylo

Ok, sure I've told you about her before but now the world is sitting up and taking notice and you wanna be in the crew that knew her when.
This track is a year old, but recent 3RRR and TripleJ radio and media attention has brought it back up for me. The rolling dark and twisted beat is signature Ok Sure and there's just enough Depeche Mode echoes to keep me going. You want this.
