Gift Ideas: What a B-Girl Wants

It's Amazon Prime day today and with the holidays coming up, I thought I'd whip up a little wish "gift" list. I do have the potential to be paid off my Amazon recommendations, but since I'm such a small, niche blogger, I highly doubt that will happen. But I honestly recommend these products because I have bought them, use them or want them. So there you go! And without further adieu I give you the B-Girl Gift List. For yourself or a special B-Girl that you are shopping for.  We B*Girlz by Martha Cooper, Nika Kramer and B-Girl Rokafella @bgirlrokafella And peep the homegirl Emiko on the cover! @emikosmile A Headspin Beanie - Save yourself from bald spots and a sore head!

I like Nike and New Balance. But it's all preference. Flare pommel traine

 A new offering from Rhymesayers, produced by Sol Messiah.  The Sharecropper’s Daughter , the title of which pays homage to her father’s experience growing up sharecropping tobacco, is in Sa-Roc’s own words “a sonic reflection on the generational inheritance of trauma and triumph that shapes our humanity and influences the way we see the world.” At a time where people all around the globe are calling for social change, Sa-Roc is an MC whose energy and conscious lyrics are about to shake up the rap game and remind us all that Hip Hop was always about giving a voice to the people.

Roy Ayers, Adrian Younge & Ali Shaheed-Muhammad - Jazz is Dead 002

  The perfect summer soundtrack. This album is everything to me right now. It has such a good feel, in a niche that's perfect for anything, anytime, or whatever. It's real music by the legend Roy Ayers and Ali Shaheed-Muhammad of A Tribe Called Quest. Adrian Younge is amazing and this album makes me want to go and get more of his stuff. He's worked with Souls of Mischief and Ghostface Killah.  Please take a listen to this. It is definitely worth it. Kicking it off with Synchronize Vibration and it sounds like Erykah Badu should be rockin on it. This is the best thing I've heard this year! It's so smooth and sexy, but also super chill and vibey. There's chunky bassy parts, jazzy drums, meandering saxes, airy vocals...what more could you want?!? This is the second installment. There was a first version, so if you are hungry for more, you are in luck! Listen on Amazon Buy on Vinyl Listen on iTunes Listen on Spotify #newmusic #musicreview #newrelease #royayers #jazz

Aloe Blacc - My Way

Watch on Instagram This song is a testament to staying true to yourself and listening to your heart. No matter the pressure, no matter the stakes. Doing something your Own way and taking pride in that. With an old school feel, this song is inspiring, refreshing and a breath of fresh air to my ears. The keys and the finger snap verses give it such an easy feel. The horns and the drums, along with the backup singers, is a great compliment to Aloe’s vocals. I hope to see more like this in the future! Listen on Amazon Listen on iTunes Listen on Spotify #newmusic #hiphop #soul #jazz #neosoul #oldschool #singersongwriter #ballads #livemusic #aloeblacc

Knox Family - World Turns

 ðŸŽ¶ As the World Turns and the Souls burn, I keep on salivating marinating til they learn...I had track 9 in my head all day today so I decided to listen to it in the car. I love the sonic textures and the vocal chops and melodies. This track was me on the beats, Julie C and Jerm with the lyrics and Rufio on the vocals. Best served chilled and played loud in a dimly lit room with subs. #bgirlmedia #knoxfamily #seattlehiphop #musicfor2020 Listen on Bandcamp
