Well #CuffinSeason is upon us. I racked my brain trying to find something suitable.
I will end up taking a few weeks off from the Mixtress because of the job, plus I’m learning so much at the Scratch Academy I wanna start practicing at home more. With the new turntables and loads of records that I have to catalog…I will be quite busy!
So I’m gonna leave you with some funk to tide you over til I get back. I also have a surprise!
Welcome to the Last Monday Mixtape of the year! I had so much fun this year doing these new music compilation mixtapes. We have: Mary J. Blige, The Dream, Young Jeezy, Lil’ Wayne, T-Pain, Kanye West, Will.I.Am, Charlie Wilson, Erykah Badu, Ne-Yo, Robin Thicke, Ludacris, Beyonce and many more!!
This week I was inspired by Barack Obama. He always plays “Signed, Sealed, Delivered” by Stevie Wonder at the end of his campaign speeches. At first it kinda baffled me because Obama is in his mid forties. Then I remembered that it was probably his “Old School” choice. Every generation will have their “Old School” and I shudder to think that this stuff playing now will be the “Old School” choices for my 9 year old daughters (cringe).
My first podcast:
“I’m a little rusty and I’m working some kinks out…I’m kinda tired so I didn’t record an intro..not to mention Prince is hard as hell to mix because all of his songs begin very distinctively… but here because of the @JayMoney challenge…I present to you…”
Hey Everybody!
It’s time for the Monday Mixtape! Early even…
This week’s mix is entitled April Rain. It’s a bimonthly compilation of the tracks that I’m digging from March and April. I would love to do this once a month, but what’s being released isn’t the best stuff I’ve heard. So I put together the best I could find (in my opinion of course).
Hey Folks!
It’s Old School Thursday!
Today’s post was intended to be a tribute to the entire Levert family, but due to an emergency….only one mix got done. So stay tuned on Saturday for the other half!
I loved the O’Jays. I’ll never forget “Cry Together”. That song touched me in my heart. Enjoy the mix and please send up prayers for the Levert family as they cope with the death of Sean Levert.
Biography and track listing after the break.
Hey Everybody! This a picture of a young Teddy Riley in his group “Kids At Work” Too cute! Sorry I’m a day late! Even Divas have to work sometimes…I’m still continuing my trip through 4 decades and we have now reached the 80’s. This Monday’s Mix is all bout the New Jack Swing! Teddy […]
It’s time for the Monday Mixtape!!!! This week is 80’s Smooth Grooves! This comes from playing DJ for my parents while I was a child. All of these tunes were probably played in the same order as I played it for them back in the 80’s. I hope you enjoy it! Listen Here: Track Listing […]
