Sunday Jazz / The Misled; Waiting In The Dark Mix PT.3

 

 
Sunday Jazz Continues....kicking things off with one of my mixes....The Misled / Waiting In The Dark Mix.

The story behind this mix? I was just sitting back...peeping game. Checking out the masses / clones being led by so called leaders / experts right into the "darkness' ...or the system had them on "standby"...waiting on some type of decision to be made. 

Sometimes instead of waiting on someone else we should "get free" ..and make an "executive decision" on what were going to do...of course the knowledge should be done first....word!! Check this mix out!!
