I don't have much to say these days. I'm relatively happy. But I have to share that I've been listening to some amazing music lately. And I believe it is partially responsible for my happiness. Here are three albums(courtesy of Okayplayer.com) worth integrating into your life:
The Green Album
Appropriately timed, right on the heels of Al Green's new release Lay It Down, comes The Green Album put together by Omer Saar of UniverSOUL Productions. Using acapellas from MF Doom, Biggie, Jay Z, and De La Soul among others, Omer mashes up some of hip-hop's best with classic Al Green tracks. See after the click, where you can view the tracklisting before you download.
Wale: Mixtape About Nothing
Inspired by the Larry David produced 90s sitcom Seinfeld, Wale drops The Mixtape About Nothing today, mixed by Nick Catchdubs and presented by 10 Deep. Wale includes his Roots hit "Rising Up," also featuring Chrisette Michele, as the #2 joint on this mix. Good taste! The whole mixtape is hot, so download c/o elitaste and let that go-go inspired hip-hop hit you in the head.
Wayna - Higher Ground
.... the soulfully sophisticated sounds of Ethiopian-born, Maryland-based singer/songwriter Wayna’s new album Higher Ground might be so slick that no special dexterity be required to achieve auricular penetration. But once its sonics saturate your insides even the creakiest of joints should feel well lubricated and the many irritating frictions of life smooth to the touch...

Wayna is still not hotter than the tampa queen of sheba. We gotta move around....SAVE YOUR MONEY!!
I dunno how I feel about that Green Album...I only listened to it quickly once and a lot of the tracks sound like they just put two random songs on top of each other. I did like a few of the tracks though. Good stuff.

@ catalyst: i'm lookin' forward to comparing!
@Queen A.: I think the Green Album is best understood if you KNOW all the tracks that are being smashed. because then you can hear what's REALLY happening. the rhythm, the layers, the editing, the looping, the re-instrumentation, the re-organization/song structure, chord progression(s) or lack thereof, etc. just genius. but some standout more than others...give it a sincere and deliberatelisten and then get at me again. good to see you drop by;-)
