MOOD: Sunday Vibes

There’s no time like the present, and this music is a gift. We’ve got brunch bops and mimosa moments, and we are draped up and dripped out in our Sunday Funday best. No time for drama. I’m only peddling good vibes. I might even call into work tomorrow -- if you make it worth my while. Next round’s on me… cheers.

MOOD: The Good Ol’ Days

Grab ya mama and her mama too, because we are kickin’ it old school. Ain’t No Stoppin’ Us Now, because Everybody Loves the Sunshine. And, we’re here to spread some Love and Happiness. One time for every “What you know ‘bout this?” as you boogie into an era unmatched and untouched.

MOOD: Better Without You

I promised you my love, and you couldn’t keep it. I crossed my heart, and you hoped I die. I opened my body, and you took it all. I wished for a dream, and you showed me reality. You were never the answer. I just wasn’t asking the questions that mattered. Sorry to myself, and good riddance to you. This is my healing hour, an overdue celebration of independence and self-love. I choose me, over and over again.

MOOD: Meet Me in the Motherland

Drift into the magic of melanin, the breadth of blackness. These sounds have traveled generations, transcended borders. Aweh. Home is here, there and anywhere I can move my hips to the rhythm of the djembe drums. Wind with it, grind with it. We’ve got hours of jazzy jams for your funky fix of Afrobeat bliss.

MOOD: Soul Settling

In the spirit of deep rhythm and blues, let’s two step into another dimension. Let’s roll up our sleeves, slip off the high heels, and groove to the classic sounds of yesterday that make today feel so damn good. We’re grown. We’re sexy. We’re vibing. DJ, go head and slow it down one good time.

MOOD: Makin’ Money and Moves

‘Tis the season of hustle, grind and grit, transforming excuses into execution. Fear into fire. Plans into profit. Release — ideas were never meant to live in your head forever. Here’s a daily affirmation for you: I am a goal-setter, bag-getter, and the only force greater than the drive I possess to build my dream is my dream itself.

MOOD: The Jig

Issa real n**** party, and you’re cordially fucking invited. Consider this a pre-game to the pre-game (bottles on me). I don’t do rules, but I do give warnings. Get your Meg knees ready, and tell the Uber driver to pass me the aux. Tonight, we’re dancing ‘til the lights come on. My flask has been filled, and I apologize in advance for my baddest behavior.

MOOD: Lovin’ Love

We said we wouldn’t fall, but here we are at the bottom of each other’s hearts. You shatter my inhibitions, pressing your body against mine. Our souls tied in a knot I don’t want to undo. I could lay tangled in your limbs for lifetimes, but I only have one. Will you spend it with me?

MOOD: On Instrumental Island

I want the music to scream louder than the lyrics, so the beat vibrates in my bones. Sometimes words are just too much. So, we make speechless sparks. Imagine. Me, the orchestrator. The producer. The mixed melodies are mine, and the only thing missing is nothing. No voices, just vibes.

MOOD: Headspace

Make a toast — to elevation and the visions that entice us into satisfying curiosity’s appetite. Raise your glass, and keep ‘em coming. Cheers, to lusting after life and the evolving dreams that soak my thoughts in bliss everlasting. This soundtrack is for you, me and the ideas that we vow to let roam free forever.

MOOD: Femme + Fierce

A sultry, succulent, and sensual soundtrack for all my badass beauties. For the woman warrior who makes it look easy but knows it’s hard. She ignites fire with her freedom and sheds light with her love. Here’s to celebrating the ferocity that comes with our femininity.

MOOD: On My Way

“You up?” The late night text that’ll send you to my door faster than the DM you slid into my inbox. I’ve showered, refreshed the curls, and sprayed your favorite scent right along my collarbone. Come over and stay a while. I’ve got your favorites on repeat.

MOOD: Transcending Bullsh*t

Sink into a soul-searching trance of refreshing acoustics and prolific vibes. This is for those days when trappin’ out is just not the move, and you’re deprived of alone time with your thoughts. Take a moment to unplug, decompress, and forget the bullsh*t that doesn’t deserve your energy.

MOOD: Owning Excellence

Shamelessly tap into your inner badass with OG artists like KRS-One, J. Cole, Mobb Deep and Tupac, who know a little somethin’ about unapologetically owning excellence regardless of what haters have to say. In the words of my homie Bas, “Some n****s just wanna be safe, and some n****s just wanna be great.” I’m here for the latter.

MOOD: Kissing Nostalgia

Bask in the glory days of teenage romances, MySpace friends, burned CDs, and Blockbuster trips. This is your escape to youth, memories that “the Snap” could never do justice. A vacation, cruising through the soundtrack of a simpler era. I’m sending you through flashbacks of forgotten moments.
