The aim is simple, to banish those Monday blues with an eclectic range of music chosen by Steemit friends both old and new.
Every Monday I intend to post a music video (and a few words explaining my choice) I invite you to join me by doing same in the comments section below. As the forum (hopefully) grows my aim is that we begin to inspire our fellow Steemians to broaden their musical horizons by listening to the music that inspires us. The only thing I ask is that (where possible) every song we listen to is played nice and loudly on headphones or speakers in order that we capture its true essence.
As more Steemians join this venture there is also going to be the possibility of being rewarded for our musical tastes via the amount of upvotes each song receives. That said please never feel awkward about posting a track, a guilty pleasure or even your own musical ventures. I have an extremely wide range of musical interests but also understand that music like beauty is very much in the eye of the beholder. As such I may play my chosen song, but who am I to define what constitutes good music.
Hope everyone is well and has enjoyed a really good weekend!? Happy Monday! Well, I've recently been revisiting some of my old hip-hop collection and thought I'd share this track by Immortal Technique. For me and with a nod to KRS-ONE etc etc, this artist stands guard at the frontlines of the intelligent hip-hop movement I grew up with. Yes much rap has been sidelined off into vacuous ego-centric bullshit that masquerades as a shadow of it's former self. Luckily by weaving history, truth, spirituality into inventive lyrics and killer beats .. artists like Tech are keeping the fire burning! And I tell you what, I'd put the knowledge of this man against any academic/historian and philosopher out there. I hope you enjoy!
On another note and for anyone that is interested, If you didn't catch it the first time round here is a post I wrote about hip-hop and the artificially created gang culture that destroyed black communities.
This isn't about making me Steem so please save your upvotes and reward the songs that you feel are worthy, although equally if my song stands out to you then I'd appreciate the vote. Any resteems would be much appreciated, all are invited and welcomed to join us in sharing and listening to a diverse range of music.
