Do you ever feel like you go through the same old music catalogues, playlists and albums day-in and day-out?
Do you have that feeling of drought with your musical palette? Well, fret not, for I have a proposition.
Why not listen to something other than what you’re used to?
Be it a genre you’re not familiar with or an artist you dread, stick it on and delve into the plethora of the unknown. Even if it just for an hour and you come away with a little bit of knowledge about something you didn’t know an hour ago, that is equally fine.
For me, I’ve recently been diving into the classics of hip-hop, rap and more importantly, the mysteries with the likes of Tupac Shakur and Biggie Smalls.
Notorious in not just their alter-personas as international music artists, but notorious for their sounds they made and their power-house profile it brought to the scenes of East Coast hip-hop and “Gangsta rap”. Although they were taken from us by a scenario we’re all too familiar with, within the crevices of America, the sheer impact they had with us in the world paints us a picture how iconic these two were and are.
Of course, this led on to the mightiest who are still mighty in their corresponding leagues – Eminem, Jay-Z and Kanye.
So for today’s Sunday – where I usually request for you to take out your favourite Sunday chill playlist with your morning (or afternoon) coffee, instead, listen to something different and learn something new along the way.
Hope your week upcoming is just as prosperous, folks. Take care of yourselves.

As EclecticMusicLover, I listened to lots of different kinds of music. That said, I do admit my listening doesn’t include very much hip hop or rap like the artists you mention, as it’s just not my favorite. I will try to do better…

Hiya again, my friend. Yeah, you’re not wrong – I’ve never been an avid fan of the hip hop scenes but it’s an area that is not particularly my strong suit and I always want to listen to a genre before I slate it 😂😂🙌

When I was younger I hated rap and hip hop but in recent years I have really gotten into it. Tupac and Biggie are classics of that era and they definitely put you in a good mood. Lately I have been listening to Orange Blossom which is a world music group that’s a bit Trip Hop, a bit rock and a bit Arabic, it sounds weird but it’s the perfect combination! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R6pG68uBwkI

Oooh, thanks for the insight – I’ll definitely give Orange Blossom a listen, it’s always nice tapping into a completely unknown band or artist to me. I’ll let you know my thoughts 🤔🗣✔️
