If you enjoy mellow jazz hip hop, I highly recommending checking the album, In Ya Mellow Tone with Sam Ock. A great album to soothe your mind, body and soul.

Blazo feat. The 49ers - Pressure 

[nip-n-taka-blog]

Atmosphere - You

A song that’s relatable to many people out there who worked as waiters/waitresses before.

“You just got off work, huh? Another night feeling like the worst one. You didn't even count your tips yet, But you can tell that it ain't no big step. I don't see why you so nice to customers They're all fucks and low lives. But don't fight, just keep the lip stiff And get that money it's the weekend shift. But why they all gotta be freaks. Wish they would just eat and leave. And keep they eyes to theyselves, already insecure, don't need any help. But you can blame the pride that makes you hold your anger inside, But deep down you wanna curse them all. Fuck off asshole jerk off dirt ball.”

Blazo - Metamorphosis

An interesting but beautiful orchestral style beat that Blazo doesn’t usually compose.

Soulcrate Music -  Sleep Awake

A song about reality vs dream. Sometime, dreaming is a preferred option to be living in than the current corrupted reality.

“Well I'm beginning to dream a little bit more and more And I can warm inside the thought that I can sleep now diving in deep; Wow I'm asleep inside my head instead of waking I'ma stay here, play here There are no gates here to make fear”

Hai Le - Early Blossom

The ideal beat to listen to during relaxation mode.

Mr.Troy - The Need

Requested by @entrancetoemptiness 

Another typical but distinctive beat by Mr. Troy that not many DJs will dare copying.

Blazo - Early Orange

It’s amazing how Blazo can name a song that’s well intertwined with each other. This beat literally goes well when viewing the sunrise or even sunset.

Mos Def and Dj Deckstream - Life is Good

There’s enough pressure in the life of any working man who provides for himself and those dear to him. At some points of our life, music is THE thing to remind us that we are living in the middle of beautiful magic and that being happy is a birthright, not a goal you have to set for yourself.

“Say a prayer for the sick and the sufferin The odd-turners The hardworkers And hustlers The sinner and saints The cons and there customers I came up with them I keep in touch with them I show love for them And show love again I plant a seed and grow love again”

NAK feat. Wy-i - Night Sky

Sampling Joe Hisaishi's "The Name of Life" from Spirited Away, this track is filled with beauty and emotion.

Nieve feat. Tunji - California

“Play the music real high like its smoked out, doing its thing we party like its 99' every night of the week summer time, all the time, winter fall or spring my city, so silly when you stop to think There really ain't no other place to go peace to the west coast, stay stapled like the lakers show maybe go on a vacation sure, but when its time to return we let it burn, leave the rest in smoke”

A Tribe Called Quest - Lyrics To Go

Still can’t believe a member from from an influential hip hop group has passed away. I grew up listening to ATCQ and they definitely gave a massive impact in my life. Phife Dawg aka Phife Diggy, rest in peace. Your soul will never be forgotten by all the hip hop junkies out there. As a commemoration, here is my personal favourite verse by Phife Dawg.

“I know it's been two years but see the Tribe was never fallin Would have tried for singin but that stuff was not my callin The mic is in effect so you know I'm never stallin Walkin through the door and all them suckers started haulin Talk a lot of trash but no one can seem to beat it Pull out your microphone and watch the Phifer make you eat it”
