Creative Expression For Release & Healing
In my personal growth, I notice that I can no longer suppress what my spirit yearns to express. I suppose this is my unique experience of being guided into creating art for more than just myself. I touched on self-expression here before, but learning the importance of my voice has been something that I still find myself reflecting on often, in relation to womanhood. The truth is that I lost a sense of worth for a long time, and I have been re-adjusting since becoming an adult. I am now able to express my true self more freely than ever. When losing a sense of worth in oneself while being…

Lordapex – Interplanetary Funk LP
Interplanetary Funk LP by Lordapex could prompt anyone to catch an immediate vibe. This album is an absolute headbanger, from start to finish. Lordapex is gifted with a flow that juggles listeners from earthly concepts to imaginative abstract zones in between. This is, of course, is right up our alley! The British accent he delivers it all in somehow adds an intriguing flair to the style. I have so many personal favorites from this twenty-two track project. Some of my instant replays were Pretty Penny, Cyborg Luv Story, Em International, Palm Blunt Like Paint Brush, and Rick & Morty—with its incredible beat. I’m really looking forward to hearing this artist…

Yasiin Bey: “F*ck off ISIS” on Paris attacks, imperialism and colonialism
“The problem is people’s lack of compassion and care for themselves, for their fellow human beings…And that’s what gets all of this nonsense going. We don’t treat each other well and we need to treat each other better than what we are doing.“ “By the way, we are already in outer space. We’re already HERE on this space ship earth, propelling, spinning all the time. Everything we need is here. Earth is efficient, but if we don’t do right by each other we will eliminate ourselves.” “They’re trying to drive people into a state of high stress, so people don’t have the space to really slow it down, love themselves,…

Mind Noise
I have been reliving that awkward first moment when one of your most replayed songs is the one with your own voice on it! I wonder if I will get used to it. This feels like a good time to share the recurring themes I have noticed as of late. I find myself frequently inspired, and the wonderful thing is that the inspiration comes to me in many forms. For instance, the Flying Lotus show which I attended at The Wiltern was everything amazing that I expected, but there was something he said about how the things we create make us immortal that truly hit me at the right moment.…

Make way for the new. . .
New ideas, new ambitions, new manifestations! New VIRGO Moon! Today I am searching for a piece of mind that is weightless. I am searching for weightlessness so that I might fill it with energy of the greatest channeling I have ever done. If you are anything like I can be, you might constantly imagine ways to make yourself better. And if you’re even more like me, you tend to struggle with the manifestation of what you come up with every now and then. Sometimes I feel these blocks have a lot to do with having so much happening at once. Do you ever feel that way? Not just distracted, but…

Malia EP
New soul goddess alert! I already look forward to hearing more from Malia’s gorgeous, soothing voice! The sensuousness of the opening song Satisfaction makes me want to vibe out in a dark room with some candles and maybe a few loved ones. I can imagine her live set as something similar. The messages of growth and enlightenment on this project are perfectly crafted and this excites me. Dull Aches has me locked in pretty tight. The project also features a collaboration with The Internet. Take a listen, fall in love, and follow the links for more on Malia. maliavibes.com facebook.com/MaliaVibes

Allan Kingdom – Future Memoirs
Delivering some more NEW waves! I have been listening to Future Memoirs for a few days now, and it feels perfect to add to my growing list of music here on the frolic. The Spooky Black feature is what led me to this and other previous and equally stunning EPs by Minnesota native Allan Kingdom. Their collaboration on Wavey is one of my favorites, besides Evergreens, Souls, Famines, and Context, which all add a flavor to this rare sound. I LOVE the production on this project. Some of the sounds, when lined with his flow is really interesting and awesome! His amazing production skills and flow grants a high place…

Little Simz – E.D.G.E. EP
I have replayed E.D.G.E. more times than I remember now. Little Simz caught my attention from a freestyle, but it wasn’t until I came upon clips posted by her management that I decided to listen to more of her work and found myself taking it in all it once. It’s like that sometimes. I am glad that I came upon those clips at that time, because this girl’s flow is phenomenal! You instantly notice that she is not the typical female MC we are presented with by society, these days. For one, she is British and puts no effort into hiding her accent. Little Simz also counters the general aesthetic…

Freely Observing
I have practiced living freely lately. What does it mean to live freely? I notice that most people think of it in terms of financial stability. Being able to buy whatever you like and go wherever you like because you have all of the money you’ve ever dreamed of is what those in this age consider freedom. This is fair, but I am happier than ever while being far from my financial goals. So, what do I mean exactly? When I say FREELY, I mean living, breathing, walking around with acknowledgement of mental blocks that threaten to stop me from doing what I want, whatever it maybe. Fear is an…

To the (Young) Women and the Lovers
This month has been amazing, thus far! I’m inspired both with my upcoming raw food exploration and just by the people I’ve been coming across in life daily. Isn’t that the best? Music continues to grow new roots and I’m excited to challenge myself and see what I can really do with it. It’s now manifesting itself in even more corners of my reality, like at work (I just started in an office and discovered there’s actually a studio in the back! haha Awesome, right?). I decided to let go of all of the negative figures in my life as well. I have leaned towards excuses to keep those causing…
