Robin Kenyatta ‎– Encourage The People

Digital Crate Digging Continues on this Monday evening but this science dropped is relevant for any time period..

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on as the toil and strife goes on; we're just looking for a return on our investment..

The Lord blessed it, we're highly favored as long as we're humble with the behavior!

Naysayers stressed it so this good word is dropped and the beats rumble, check the flavor!!

Reuben Wilson - Tight Money

Digital Crate Digging Continues,  during what I call Music Monday..

What it do? a hatemonger's dealings continue; they'll try to run you and me...

So called representatives  try to intervene for you and me but circumstances are debatable..

Are we being built or torn down? some didn't turn the level of scorn down, plus these shadetree / bootleg mechanics provide shoddy workmanship we see what it do!!

Acting like we knew;  we're checking out this soul jazz from Reuben Wilson - with what has become my theme song Tight Money. 

Check out the players and the track, as I holla at a so called mover / shaker telling them Let's Go so called big money!!

Eric Gale - Sara Smile

Sunday Jazz Continues!! check us out as a little digital crate digging will be involved...

The saga / struggle continues, can you dig it? during the ongoing process we jumped to the the conclusion that it's rough out here, but we evolved..

The saga / struggle continues,  threw some salve on the wounds and kept it moving / grooving..

Chilling out on this Sunday evening after coming out odd and even in the ongoing crap game; life is a gamble,  winning and losing..

Shady dealing out here in Babylon? oh yes, once again it's on!! we rebuke it with this sound!! listening to Eric Gale with his version of the the Hall and Oates track Sara Smile..

They're killing it!! check out the all star players he has rolling with him and the track; they've got a reggae twist to it, but something tells me it'll make you smile!!
