Monday Mixtape: SmartysWorld 30th BDay Mix
This Monday Mixtape is a special birthday request for Smarty’s World. Smarty is a wonderful writer/blogger from North Carolina that I haven’t had the pleasure of meeting in person yet, but we have become pretty close online. She had been mentioning that she really wanted a customized mix of her own for her 30th birthday [...]
Monday Mixtape: Milk and Cookies
This Milk and Cookies mixtape is one that I promised my daughters. I love new R&B and lately we have been listening to a lot of the same songs even though they are 13 and I’m…well..LOL! Some of these songs refuse to give up their grip on me and many of them are very explicit. [...]
Monday Mixtape: Whitney Houston
Whitney Houston has always sung my life’s soundtrack. I regret that I haven’t done a tribute to her up until now. My mother has begged me for 2 years to do a mix. I made a cd for her but I didn’t take the time to do a full fledged mix. I still remember when she brought home Whitney’s first album. She and my father would dance in the living room: slow dance and work the floor to her fast hits. When they would go out and leave me to babysit, I remember listening to her slow jams. I would sit, obsess over my latest crush, think and cry over the lyrics. As I grew older, Whitney Houston continued to touch my life with her music. Ever since I found out about her death, I have been devastated. My mother said that she thought I would do a good job with this mix and I really hope I did. Thank you Whitney. Thank you. And thank you Mommy. You have always guided my music life and I’m thankful that I had mother like you to show me what real music is and was.
Monday Mixtape: Revolutionary Soul (MLK Mix)
Revolutionary Soul
This mixtape was orginally born months ago from listening to @Brokemogul ‘s Soulful playlist on Spotify *. If you didn’t know: Scott Vener aka BrokeMogul is the Music Supervisor for HBO’s Entourage, How To Make It In America, 90210 and Forty. When I discovered his playlists *, what I had known about his music prowess, exploded into the stratosphere! You need to get to know this guy! I was playing around with what he had and made a playlist called Reactionary Soul *.
Monday Mixtape: MLLT’s Old School Jams
This Monday Mixtape was born from a Twitter request by a very close blogging friend of mine: Joann from Music Looks Like This.com She’s a photographer who takes awesome shots at concerts and anyplace where music is being performed. Her work is simply amazing. Check out the photo she took of me at SOB’s below. [...]

Monday Mixtape: 80′s Cuffin Season Mix
Well #CuffinSeason is upon us. I racked my brain trying to find something suitable. Weeks went by and still I had nothing. And I’m not going to mix if I’m not inspired by a theme (or if I’m not getting paid for it lol). Slowly a theme began to take shape. I remembered when I [...]
Monday Mixtape: The Get Over It Mix
With some of my favorite female rockers, I made this mixtape to give you something to cry about and get mad at the person at the same time. Time heals all wounds, so if it seems like tonight is particularly bad, cry it out and resolve to get over it tomorrow. That’s how I deal with heartbreak and this mix helped me alot.
Monday Mixtape: 90′s HipHip (Lynneluvah request)
