New Music Alert: Kes-Audio Justice






We all know I love new music like I love a new weave! Don't judge!

I am currently listening to Audio Justice by Artist Kes. Kes hails from Compton by way of Orange County. The singer/songwriter is so musically creative. To give you a mental picture of Kes's sound just imagine that Prince had a baby with Frank Ocean and Pharrell was the babysitter/music teacher, pure AWESOMENESS right?

I'm in love with The Audio Justice EP which features five tracks of funky soul bass beats infused with 80's punk rock and new age hip-hop.With lyrics like, "don't be throwing stones here in this glass house/cause if it comes crashing down/ it'll kill the both of us!  on the track Redemption has me saying MESSAGE when it comes to the heart felt ballad. The EP also features Kes's rendition of Lisa Lisa's "I wonder if I take you home", on the song Horses, which can easily be a boys anthem with lyrics like "Horses make her horny" as the catchy hook.

 My favorite track on the EP is Arabian Paradise, the electro-beat song is the perfect fusion of 80's punk rock and today's current hip-hop sound.

I've listened to the Audio Justice EP about 6 times already and all can think is I WANT MORE!


Check out my favorite song from the EP Arabian Paradise and then get your fix by checking out Kes's  Audio Justice EP in its entirety on Sound Cloud: https://soundcloud.com/kesingtonkross

How did the Cookie Crumble? My take on Empire

Image
The show Empire premiered tonight on Fox. It stars Taraji P. Henson and Terrence Howard. Terrence plays a music mogul Lucious working to build an Empire/Legacy for his children while being troubled by the transgressions of his past one of which, is Taraji's character, Cookie, his ex-wife being released from jail after doing 17 years on his behalf. He also struggles with the present state of his health ( btw please no ice bucket challenges for fictional characters! he has ALS), which is the driving force behind his ambition of creating a legacy for Empire. Veronika Bozeman gave us the opening vocals as an Empire Artist, and boy was it beautiful, even when she was made to sing it over! I found the show to be entertaining although I couldn't help but feel like it was a continuation of the movie Hustle Flow lol. I kid. Kind of, I think it was Terrence Howard's hair! But in all seriousness I'm elated to see so many shows starring African-American casts,...

Papa Scoob - Taking the Game into Overtime

Image
Its Overtime is The Official Mixtape release from Papa Scoob presented by the Outerspace Musik Group. Papa Scoob is an East Oakland Native/ Berkley raised lyricist, that has been gracing the music scene with his impeccable lyricism for the past ten years. The Its Overtime mixtape is filled with dynamic flows and metaphors over some of the top 100 billboard tracks with the incorporation of some interludes that capture the most pivotal overtime moments in recent sports history, symbolically signifying Scoob's resilience to the sport of the music grind and shaping his own game as an artist. I've known Scoob since he began rapping and I enjoy listening to him grow as an artist. He definitely doesn't need a hype man because he gets the momentum going with his energetic intensity over each and every track.  Despite his longevity I feel like this mixtape is his coming of age moment. I'm so very proud of his accomplishments and urge yo...

Single Mom Travels (it's kind of a long read, so grab a snack!)

Image
Well Hello There Readers! I've been on a writing hiatus but I've got the sudden urge to blog. A few weeks ago I was hanging out with my son and realized that as far as I'm concerned we have a pretty unique experience in terms of the way we go throughout our daily lives. I realize there's this stigma that as a single parent life becomes so limited and in many aspects this has proven true. However, I've also discovered my own ways to live and provide my child with a happy fulfilling life. There is nothing that can truly distract my child from the absence of his father, but as his mother I've vowed to make his childhood experiences as meaningful as possible in the hopes of presenting to society a well rounded, open minded, curious, fearless, adult. With all that being said, traveling alone and/or with your child are one of those single parent stigmas I was talking about. It seems as though as a woman I should live in fear of the world and somehow nee...
