CunninLynguists - Dirty Acres FREE ALBUM!

Happy Aloha Friday from Hawai'i nei!

In light of the American Independence Day holiday, the hip-hop trio known as CunninLynguists have made their superb album Dirty Acres available for download at any price you choose, including for FREE! This is definitely a hip-hop album you do not want to miss out on, as these artists are among the best in the rap game right now. In fact, it was on a CunninLynguist track that I first discovered Macklemore of recent superstar fame.

CunninLynguists - Stars Shine Brightest (In The Darkest Of Night)

I launched this blog in January 2013, almost 5 months ago. Within that short period of time we have witnessed several tragic events of human violence and natural disaster. It is with a great hope for a brighter future and a heartfelt sense of positivity and inspiration that I share these messages of encouragement with all of you. Over the years, I have learned that the easiest way to live a life full of joy and fulfillment is to learn how to accept what life brings with gratitude and continue to move forward with love and understanding. Keep those positive vibrations alive, my friends. Peace & Blessings~  

 
If you enjoyed this track, check out the rest of their album at bandcamp.

The Transformational Life: Robb Smith // Zion I & The Grouch - Digital Dirt

In this exceedingly busy world, the pace of life seems to generate more and more momentum everyday. We now live in a society filled with smart phones and dumb people. In a society overrun by constant distractions and information overload, sometimes it feels impossible to cope. Technology has become modern culture's gift and curse, but in reality it is up to each one of us as individuals when it comes to how we let it affect our own lives.

As a new response, we must learn how to slow down and unplug ourselves from the network. We must retrain ourselves how to listen intently, read entirely and remember consciously.

People Under The Stairs - Same Beat (Wesley Rap)

Same Beat. We're all one. An educated mind and a prejudiced heart are mutually exclusive. Meditate on that while you sample this track. Peace & Blessings~

CunninLynguists - Close Your Eyes (Ft. Grieves, Geologic & Macklemore)

The following is an earlier (2009 album Strange Journey Vol.2) artistic convergence of hip-hop specialists Cunninlyguists featuring Grieves, Geologic of the Blue Scholars, and Macklemore of recent ascent into mainstream stardom with his hit single "Thrift Shop." If your Monday didn't happen the way you hoped, don't worry because the day is done. Go get some shut-eye and get a fresh start in the morning. Peace & blessings~

Blue Scholars - Sagaba

Aloha and Happy Hump-Day Everyone! Keep on keepin' on~


LYRICS:
Sister sits on the steps 
Cigarette rests on fingertips 
Takes a sip of slow death deathly through her lips, 
She blows a kiss 
Which I can only resist in vain 
She got the gift of gravity pulling to ask her name 
She says Sagaba 
What's it mean - she says in Ilocano 
It translates into suffering 
I'm pondering the irony to conjure up the fearlessness to find a conversation 
She offers me a square, I decline the invitation 
It reminds me of the days when I would chain smoke 
Broken with no hope 
Like broken like the manner she spoke 
We both 
Two people seeking 
Solace and remembrance 
And wondering if miracles were meant for us 
But intent was just an innocent thought between a sister and a brother 
Who been building in the guidance of a mother 
And the storyteller stops 
Waiting for the beat to drop 
Gathering his thoughts in the wind, breathing in like...

Now, I couldn't stand to see the queen breathe her dreams away 
And tell me her tomorrow will never become today 
I say I used to know a woman just like you, 
Beautiful but jaded by the multitude of men who'd often try to 
Justify their lies with twisted notions of survival 
And hide behind their armor when karma completes a cycle 
She replied 
That just because I knew a woman well it doesn't mean I know them all 
She begins to bade farewell 
Eyes up to the sky, she sighs, I need nobody 
True indeed, sister, but you still need everybody because 
We hardly know ourselves if we know nobody else 
And only in our loneliness can home become a hell 
Exhale 
The cloud in the loudest form of silence 
Watches as it rises like suns over horizons 
The storyteller stops 
Waiting for the beat to drop 
Gathering his thoughts in the cloud, breathing out like... 

Dreams be the ashes 
Burns and thrashing in the wind 
Flying out the burning bush attached to sister's hand 
Who whispers “word” 
Smiling and giving thanks, living in doubt no longer 
As she figures out the riddle to the song 
Saying why must we suffer now and not suffer later if later 
Never comes soon enough to soothe the hatred 
And hatred 
Is the cancer born out of love's absence 
And the absence is the void left from missing every chance to 
Challenge our fates and perhaps our very names 
Sister says peace and prayers for rain and change 
Tosses out her lighter 
Walks out of the cipher 
For shizzle it starts to drizzle and then I begin to write this 
Inhale the imagery – a queen walking steadily 
Effortlessly 
Ready to be 
Every woman and now the 
Story teller ends 
Waiting for the beat to fade 
Gathering his thought near the edge of the day like...

The Roots - The Fire (Feat. John Legend)

The fire that burns stronger is not the one lit beneath you,
but the one built within you.

The Roots - The Day (Ft. Blu, Phonte & Patty Crash)

"When I wake up, I look into the mirror
I can see a clearer, vision
I should start living today
Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day
Cause today is gonna be the day, is gonna be the day."

The Lonely Biscuits - Everybody (Hurricane Sandy Relief Song)

Have a nice day! :)
