We're out here trying to get over the hump per this HumpDay Extravaganza, it's business as usual as we put it on automatic pilot!

We're out here putting it down like this, naysayers say it's mysterious they had low expectations from us plus they're foul with it!

I Guess it’s The Times We’re Living In (Part Seven)

Innocent bystanders get caught up in another’s cosmic karma, I guess it’s the times we’re living in!

Highlander’s sacrifice Derek Chauvin per George Floyd’s  killing but they’ll proceed and continue with their shady dealing; I guess it’s the times we’re living in!

 The drama? Oh Yes we’re still dealing with it! please! it was even personal / bona fide..

..official: my people were memorialized, ashes in the ocean / Ashes to ashes dust to dust but ashes in the wind fall / slide. Blamed on gravity? somebody will understand me it’s like the seriousness of the situation! Cringe worthy? plus for all these blessings we’re unworthy? celebration done too soon? a grave situation!

We're on a binge early!! big beat dropping and good word dropping per this HumpDay Extravaganza!

Considered weird / strange naysayers mentioned nobody is checking for it, but it's a big world / universe somebody will understand a brotha!

Considered scared? naw!! these players will exercise supreme courage and maximum strength to match these times we're living in!

That's how a brotha is found in these hostile territories, but we'll continue to work this breakbeat scientific principle!!  "ain't that a shame"  naysayers were heard saying!! they also mentioned reality is unforgiving!!

Down here on the ground per Grant Green and Dianne Reeves? hood stories end the same as penthouse / mansion tales  per the cosmic karma, so what's good?

Check the sound from  Weldon Irvine with a track called Cosmic Vortex (Justice Divine); I guess the sport is complex, it's the times we're living in, so what's good? 

Grant Green – Down Here On The Ground

Sunday Jazz errr I mean Digital Crate Digging Continues; hey, I must be on that vibe...

That ill play? we'll spaz as the saga / struggle continues!! please!! we're down with that tribe!!

Rebuking that white supremacist vibe energized by Trump; fighting back with this good word and beats that bump...

It's going down on a Throwback Thursday, so who'll work with me?  it's still like the middle of the week as we try to get over the hump!!

So what it do? this is similar to the HumpDay Extravaganza, somebody will understand a brotha as we let the music play; that's  the motto as your people bring it back!!

Grant Green - A Time To Remember (Osunlade Remix)

Terrible / Terrific Tuesday? that's what I call it because things can be good or bad, positive or negative!! 

It can go either way, let the music play!! still down for the cause, that's how we're trying to deal with it..

What more can I say? we'll just try to hook up a little something that'll speak for us....

What more can I say? we'll rebuke a crook that's  up in this piece trying to wreak more havoc on us..

It's on us!! like Grant Green A Time To Remember is reflected upon, good or bad..

This is the Osunlade Remix, breakbeat science we continue to kick!! it's rad...
