It has been quite a while Sandy Beaters! Welcome to my 2014 Summertime Playlist! This was so much fun to compile! Of course my list is comprised of some of the coldest hip-hop, contemporary and feel good R&B music, just in time for the 4th of July. I will mix down these tracks and post the actual playlist soon, but for now you’ll just have to click the links click this link to hear them on Spotify! Didn’t get them all on spotify but it’s pretty close!
I started off with an all time favorite summertime song The Recipe by Kendrick Lamar and progressed through classic and contemporary music in a blend I’m sure you’ll fall in love with.
Random Just Because
The playlist rounds out with three very progressive tracks that remind me of FREEDOM and JUSTICE. Not your typical freedom and justice because we all know America lost, or never really had sight of it’s mission with those terms. This 4th of July remember that the freedoms you hold dear were gained through blood, gun powder and sacrifice. The methods are not all approved of, slavery, racism, bigotry and genocide, but they are a part of American History. Never forget this, and let’s make America’s history better from here on out, devoid of these frowned upon and hushed topics.
Happy 4th!
