Significant music milestones were reached during the last seven days, marking a pivotal moment in the millennial generation’s rap/hip-hop battle. The intensity of the competition sparked heated debates among music commentators and consumers, with everyone eager to pick a side. The digital display of this back-and-forth in real-time and the record-breaking streaming stats kept us all on the edge of our seats. Regardless of the chosen contender, a certain consensus is that music hits and history have been made as audiences hail their praises and disdain for the confirmed crowned winner.
To restore equilibrium in the aura and ardor of music, how about we all revel in the joys of jazz musician Kamasi Washington’s compositions on his album Fearless Movement? Follow this up with Lucky Daye’s ‘HERicane’ and NAO’s ‘Where Do We Go.’ Willow Smith released her album ‘Empathogen,’ which is a semi-jazz/indie rock vibe. I firmly believe that music genres serve as checks and balances to assist in regulating when we saturate ourselves in melodies that become adverse to the initial intent for consumption. A couple of Jazz and Pop tunes should assist in flushing out the funk of the vehement vie. Reminder to Reset your replays!
