Cuz It Ain’t Easy Being This Fine All The Time…

Cuz if it was then we all could do it, but we can’t now no…So Bitch don’t kill my vibe…Don’t be mad cuz you coach class and I’m in that G5….

Jah Bless Key Wane!! This track, along with the 4 others he produced on Reality Show are feeding my soul right now, and are just what R&B/Soul needed. I cannot stop listening to this and D’Angelos Black Messiah. Don’t get it twisted sister, the lyrics to Mascara are deceptively clever. This song is about video hoes, not about Jazzy herself. Lyrics on fleek! Sounds like Frank Ocean and Brandy to me. Excited to see her perform live at Irving Plaza in NYC on March 11th.

OMG this year is almost over. Personally, it was a difficult year that I fought my way through (figuratively and literally.) Almost over that hump and looking forward to a better 2015. Already planning a major travel adventure. The biggest one yet! Beyond excited! My patience will be rewarded. Stay tuned!! Thankful for all my friends and family and love in my life. Nappy New Year!

Officially back in the expensive but gratifying habit of Polaroid photography. These gorgeous works from William Miller are inspirational and a reminder that even fuck ups can be GOLD. So jealous of this collection.

Can’t stop listening to this jam!  I’m obsessed, beats and babes for days.  Tinashe and DJ Mustard are fire!  Homegirl can dance too!  Gotta see her live soon..

Monument

Have been looking forward to this video dropping ever since I had the opportunity to work with Robyn Konichiwa!  I posted about this song and the chance to work with Robyn a few months ago.  I remember hearing the track during filming of the Volvo spot and feeling very lucky to be one of the first, and now the video has been released!

Directed by frequent collaborator, Max Vitali.  With production by another frequent magic maker, Royksopp, off the EP, Do It Again.  “Monument” is there to enjoy and revel in the stunning visuals and beautiful message.
