LENA HORNE 1917-2010


"It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it." 
 
"Lena Horne, who was the first black performer to be signed to a long-term contract by a major Hollywood studio and who went on to achieve international fame as a singer, died on Sunday night at New York-Presbyterian/Weill Cornell Medical Center in New York. She was 92 and lived in Manhattan."




Whats New on my Playlist This Week

Music im enjoying currently ....




Theme song off one of my fav shows out now....HBO's How to Make it in America
When I first heard it i thought it was some old dude...nope just a youngin with an Old Soul


 Lykke Li one of my fav UK songstress does a cover to Kings of Leon's Knocked Up...I'm late but i think its better than the original. She and Caleb sound awesome together.


 Never Paid Attention to Theophilus London and for some reason I just started listening his mixtapes especially This Charming Mixtape and he's pretty dope. Many Compare him to Cudi but i think he has his own style. This song is off his newest mixtape "I WANT YOU"


 Diggin this song and I got my eye and ear on Stalley he sounds official.  FUN FACTS...video shot in jamaica and my brother has spent time in the DD172 studio with the producer of this joint! :)



"When you get elevated, They love it or they hate itYou dance up on them haters"
 My new theme song....Helps me block all the negative energy  Always loved Janelle Monae for that!



ON REPEAT FOREVER  Theophilus London feat Lykke Li
