Okkkkk Sooooo it's #MusicMonday! I must say…EC MARV has hustled hard to make me enjoy, believe, and most importantly RESPECT his music. No longer the "1 lil young ni*ga" outta East Cleveland, EC MARV has quickly pushed past some of CLEVELAND'S musical OG's in solidifying his place in this music industry. With no shortage of drama, relationship issues good/bad (*S/o to Sunni we see you girllllll), internet beef, casual taunting of freniemes, power teasers for new music and visuals, 1 of the originators of the #challenges (*admit it…you've attempted at least 1 #NahFRchallenge ) ohhhhhhh and we can't forget…the face paced bars that seem to almost trip over each other when EC MARV spits….but in a creative, original, mos def takes some talent to be able to ride a beat like that…kinda way. EC MARV seems to understand the way this game goes, and he isn't afraid to get in and play…like…"Nah FR". XOXO
The COSIGN #5
The Cosign 5
Okkkkk Sooooo it's about that time of year…where we think about the "receiving", and the "giving" of gifts and other sentimental and valuable things. After stalking the internet...looking for those damn VERSACE moon boots (*damnnnn they look sooo RAW) I added them to my xmas wish list, and decided... I'll have to wait til the holidays for a really cool gift. Then suddenly LIVEMIXTAPES gifted me with the COSIGN 5! I will admit…I was a lil hesitant to listen…only because the COSIGN roster usually has the same starting lineup, Ya know…all the "cool" kids from the lunchroom, or the "varsity" squad. I downloaded the CO5IGN and was delightfully satisfied with the new line up.
Sooooo out of 38…yes 38 songs…it's pretty damn cool to see LIL CRAY start the mixtape off with "INDICTED".
I swear LIL CRAY talks hella sh*t…I'm feelin it tho…I hope everything works out for him...
Well what's a COSIGN mixtape without MGK!
When the beat drops on "YOUNG MAN" I automatically start shrugging my shoulders with a mean mug.
CHIEF KEEF is a real live GROWN MAN now...
OMG!!!!!! YESSSSSS!!!! This new CUDI and PHARRELL is DOPE!!! Nice switch up on the mixtape!
I swear CUDI is 1 of the most influential artists…ever…duh
CUDI aint ridin no WAVES on "SURFIN"….lol he stays dissin in an intelligent cool kinda way…much love..
YOOOOOOOOO this LORINE CHIA "2 BLUNTS" with The Game and Wiz Kahlifa is insane!!!! First I was like…ummmm damn The Game made it on the COSIGN, but then I realized LORINE CHIA is reppin the city and holding it down!
Okkkkkk EZZY….i will say hello…to "GOODBYE"
Welp….I guess we no longer have to scream "FREE Doe Boy"…S/o to Ripp Flamez cool ass on that "LIFESTYLE"...
Damnnnn… it seems like KING CHIP always seems to find his way back home in all of his "GLORY" …and like I said before…CUDI has had a major influence in this industry…damn it!
Just when I was thinking….I need a lil LOST TRIBE…whelp I found them… "COME BACK"!!!! This is awesome….
"NOSEBLEEDZ" makes me feel sexy, confident…and like I'm the sh*t…*headroll fingasnap
Okkkkkkkk PREME and STYLES P decided to go "classic"…PREME makes hits….flat out.
SHUICIDE HOLLA is here with MRS.808…but I'ma still "HIT DEM FOLKS" to all of his songs...
FLY TYE is all over this COSIGN and radio ….I guess that's what comes with the "FAME"
I FU*K with Billard…that is all…...
POOH GUTTA and P Tha Artist make me wanna look back at my ass , and make sure it's wiggling…so I can "FU*K IT UP"
PAPER PAULK showing face on this COSIGN is #100! He just did a full 360 on "260"…much respect...

Holy Moly…I said MOLY…not MOLLY…you crazy people!!! AL FATZ came back down!!!!!! Okkkkk …nice way to end this mixtape…."HOL UP"…I'ma put this on repeat.
Okkkkk Soooo I know y'all didn't expect me to go thru allllll #38 songs on this COSIGN…whew! I mean I could clean my crib, blog, do the laundry, watch a full season of OITNB on netflix, make dinner, flat iron my hair, and still have some free time left…while listening to this mixtape. I respect the "cool" crowd laying down the foundation, and I'm very much pleased with the "freshman class" coming down on the COSIGN! I feel like we are missing some artists…(*damn…where the ladies at …owwwwww)...but hey….there's always the COSIGN 6! TROPIKANA…we miss you girlllllll! I'm sure you will COSIGN that! XOXO

APHINITI's "HABIT"

Dope camera angles in such a small space.This video is kinda Trippy!S/o to the TRUMP CAMERA (*we see you Trump!)"HABIT" makes me feel like a lightweight after APHINITI discloses she packs 5 bowls a day.She's gotta "HABIT"!Damnnnnn just when I started getting sucked into APHINITI's effortless sexiness...Her real life "bae" actually pops up in the crib (*love love love them!)I'm enjoying this evolution of APHINITI!XOXO

Ohhhh and his Ohio Hip Hop Award makes a cameo too...just in case y'all forgot (*headroll fingasnap)"You coming with the heat, somebody need to cut the oven off"…is 1 of my favorite lines! (*I just had my tough face on in my mirror, pointing my finger, reciting that line) Make sure you are ready around the 1:42 mark…Crazy8 totally blanks out…and it's AWESOME! "I'ma just let that…breath"! XOXO

This video will get you ready for all the cookouts, and family reunions coming up!XOXO
Watts Ft. Ryan The Realist - "BROKEN PATTERNS"
Time to bring it back down for a minute. "Broken Patterns" is super emotionally conscious! This song will make you re-evaluate your relationships, your inner self, and also teach you that it's ok to sometimes take responsibility for your own actions. I know…I know….it sounds deep, but what good is a soul…if it isn't fed the knowledge, given the strength, and shared within dope music. I'm used to seeing Rappin A*s Watts in a comical, superficial environment …pretty dope to see and hear his lyrical poetic side!XOXO
JARONIMO GRAND - "Big Deal Freestyle"
Welp….the weekend is finally here!!!! TURN UP TURN UP TURN UP!! What better way to to kick off the weekend…than with JARONIMO GRAND's "Big Deal Freestyle"! Why is he such a big deal!?! Hmmmmm this dude is a professional sh*t talker…and it's FUN!!! He's cocky, funny, and really just doesn't give a f*ck! Get ready …I mean…it is a pretty "Big Deal"! XOXO

(*"She digging me like a damn grave shift")Nothing but straight finessing at it's finest!(* No dummy bricks for me sir...plz and thank you) Mos def a must watch visual! Metaphors on top of metaphors…dreds, golds, pretty women, liquor, and the video is shot in that close, tight,sweaty, movie "BELLY" kinda feel…yeah…alllllllll dat! The beat does a total 360, and suddenly you're whisked away into a totally different song! You get more than you bargained for in 5:27! XOXO
ROM C. WOLF ft. PHILLY PHIL and Shayla "FEELIN MYSELF"
OMGGGGGG!!!!! THIS IS MY FAVORITE SONG OF THE WEEK!!!!!! I LOVE THIS SONG and Video! Okkkk….okkk….at 1st I was like " ummmm what's happening"? The guy with the dreds eased his way in so smooth like. The pretty girl dancing is so free ,classy, and organically beautiful. There's none of that "over the top extraness"…just simple good vibes. "FEELIN MYSELF" catches you the 1st time the hook is sang! PHILLY PHIL's laid-back , OG, classic delivery makes the song a great way to end the week! I can promise you…you will be singing "FEELIN MYSELF" by the end of this video! It's like a dope 90's real hip hop video from back in the day! I LOVE THIS VIBE! Or maybe I'm just "FEELIN MYSELF"!!! XOXO
