Every now and then there might be a beat someone turned down that I have as an unused beat. But everything that predominantly matches the artist in my 30 years of doing this, it was me walking in and sitting there with no drums, no samples, no nothing, and making a beat on the spot.

This has been an excellent time to experience new music. There's something about tuning for Spotify, Apple Music, and Tidal algorithms "just right" to deliver new quality songs to your feeds. I've been curating hundreds of playlists across multiple platforms and I've reached the point where these A.I. systems know my musical tastes pretty well. And since there are a lot of like-minded listeners who reach out and ask me for what i'm listening at the moment, I've decided to do a monthly list of the 6 - 12 new artists who are in heavy rotation on a daily basis. Plus, there's so many artist and songs rotating through me, I'd like to catalog them in a place I can retrieve them.

Samara Cyn
Samara first came onto my radar when she showed up on my #foryou TikTok page with her "Green Eyes Freestyle " on the 245hiphop account.

Elon Musk
For the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Steve Jobs
I've been following Hailey Knox's career ever since she dropped "Gucci Prada Balenciaga" in 2022. It's good to see someone with so much talent and love for music finally starting to the exposure she deserves. I think i've had every song she's dropped in heavy rotation. It feels like "Double Jeopardy" will be more of the same.
