Why am I eating Vegan?
Today is the final day of a week-long herbal cleanse and I figured a good moment to expound on my recent change to consuming vegan. I will not go into excessive detail, but I will provide some insight as to why I am motivated to permanently eat vegan. During this cleanse I returned, yet again, to a raw vegan diet. While I have been eating plant-based food since early last summer, this diet has key restrictions. I prepared every meal myself with fresh uncooked vegetables, nuts, seeds, dried fruits, and whatnot. What I have come to enjoy about raw food are the many unique seasonings that I’m introduced to whenever…

The Ethnics – Recently EP
I happened to catch this fantastic bandcamp release a couple of months ago and thought I would finally share. This singer-producer duo calls themselves The Ethnics and their unifying new release titled Recently gleams with rhythmic soul jams that I got into immediately, upon listening. I also quickly noticed that they reflect on many true to life situations. Several every-day themes throughout this EP are familiar to me through experiences I have had myself, or other people in my life. My current favorites are TWT, Shea Butter, and Ice Cream.

Alexandria – Promise EP
I agree with the currently common idea that the massive catering for the soulful r&b junkie has been lacking for a few years now, but anyone who claims that r&b is done is tragically sleeping on artists like the ever-refreshing Alexandria. Her latest EP Promise is pure quality, filled with her stunning high notes and the sort of jams that give me the warm feeling that old school does, to this day. My favorites are You Ain’t Gotta Lie and Fly. Check it out for yourself below and enjoy. alexandriaofficial.bandcamp.com facebook.com/likealexandria twitter.com/Thee_Alexandria

P.R – The Instrumentals
I am a fan of instrumentals. Even before my recent experimentation with meshing my rhymes over them, I have found that a great instrumental can be just as rejuvenating and relatable as a song which I connect to lyrically. I remember listening to beats by producers like Nujabes and J Dilla in high school and discovering then that instrumentals really helped me focus whenever I’d write my own short stories in my spare time, as well as the dreaded essays assigned. I developed an appreciation for instrumentals alone. They mask the ever-going clutter in my mind while the unique instruments lead to all sorts of sounds and scenarios associated when…
