Miami Chillin'

























It’s my favorite day of the week! Here’s a laid back, summer track to match this beautiful Thursday afternoon. The Robby Hunter Band is a Miami based Indie Funk band, dusted with a taste of Hip Hop, and baked in an oven of Soul. Love supporting fellow south Floridians, enjoy friends!

Hard on Me- Robby Hunter Band

Mellow Monday















 


Sundays are usually a day for weekend recuperation but after some extended partying my Monday has been spent reviving with some melodic synths. Martin Brodin, Closed Paradise, Jai Paul as well as Elite Gymnastics are all able to capture the grit of the 70’s and 80’s, and fuse them with the contemporary sounds of soul, disco and deep house. Cassie’s “Numb” featuring Rick Ross will literally numb your mind with its sexy baseline as well as Polica’s new release “Tiff”. Whether winding down from a stressful day or taking time to recoup from the weekend, these tracks will soothe the Monday blues.

The Daulphin- Closed Paradise

Badabing- Martin Brodin

Jasmine- Jai Paul

& It Was U (Elite Gymnastics Remix)- How To Dress Well

Jay-Z wants you to chill about his vacation




Jay-Z and Beyonce recently took a Cuban vacation that has stirred up some minor controversy. U.S. tourism to Cuba is officially illegal, but the couple was granted a license to travel for educational exchange. Today, Jay-Z fired back at the “controversy” by dropping a new track called “Open Letter.” In the song, Hov boasts that he could “turn Havana to Atlanta” and claims “Politicians never did shit for me / Except lie to me, distort history,” before proclaiming ”Want to give me jail time and a fine? / Fine, let me commit a real crime.”

Jay-z will be releasing an album sometime in the near future, but nothing has been officially announced.

Open Letter- Jay-Z
