This Monday Mixtape is all about my birthday idol Mariah Carey. We all share a birthday with someone…and I do with Mariah! Mariah Carey has been an idol of mine for  long time. We share the same birthday and although she is 4 years older than me..she has always provided me with the inspiration to follow my dreams. From her first song Vision of Love, her incredible voice range has captivated us for yeas. In the beginning of her career, I thought it was odd that she kept releasing “generic” versions of her songs and remixes which were always catchy and filled with the hippest rappers and producers in the business. Of course we can all see now that it was absolute genius from a business sense and it also provided Mariah with a chance to step out of the songstress spotlight, relax and just be herself. As an Aries woman, I commensurated with her very public breakdown and her fight to regain herself and her image. I am very happy for her continued success and I wish her a very happy birthday…which was shared by me!

This is part 2 of the Monday Mixtape for this week. Here is part one..

So I like I said before…I have been swamped by outings with friends, the twins graduation, Prom and induction into the Honor Society, changes in leadership at the job…It’s been quite a summer so far.

I’m behind but I like to keep my promises.

This mix was requested by my best friend Tutu. Yeah she’s my best friend. Divaliscious is my sister and Tutu is my best friend. She requested this mix for her b’day back in April and although I was still going to class at Scratch, I put this together for her. I used some of songs I was listening to in April and may…with some of the songs i used for my final at the Scratch Academy…with some of the songs I heard during Tutu’s birthday weekend…

Funny thing is…I threw a graduation party for the twins and this mix was such a hit…so uhm…you might want to listen to what your kids are listening to..

I took too long posting it…but those who have had it…have loved it…so why hold on to it?

Most are songs you already love but I hope you still enjoy the mix!

My girl Golden aka Miss Jo_Ladie made a request last week for some workout music! Now me and her go way back…back to where we didn’t speak but moved around in the same blog circles (back when I was a personal blogger lol) Since arriving on Twitter and especially since my return back to NY…it seems we have gotten closer and that’s a good thing because I would never have know what a talented and sweet person she is. I went all over the place with this mix…playing some of my recent favorites like DJ Webstar and Lady Gaga…I also took it back to the oldschool..because…well because that what I do baby!

I hope you enjoy it Golden…and you have also inspired me to use it to lose some pounds myself! Let me know if it works for you too!!!!

You.Betta.Work!
