Fling Chune FRIDAY - Tell the World

Hey, hey, heeeeey!  Praise the Lord for the end of another week, albeit a short one.  Life has been nothing less than off the chain for me, lately... but at least I'm still alive.

I know I missed sharing a couple of chunes for the last few weeks, but I'ma make up for it today!  If you haven't heard the buzz in the world of [Holy] Hip-Hop, you're about to hear it right now: Gravity by Lecrae dropped earlier this week and it is FIRE!  Here's a taste of the hotness, sharing the mic with Mali Music.

Enjoy and be blessed!

Fling Chune "Sunday [night]" - One-Sixteen

Hey everybody!

Yes--I'm late with the chune.  No--I haven't forgotten about you.  I've just been a little 'distracted' lately... *sigh*  Pray for a sista!

Anyway, I still wanted to fling sumthin' hot your way real quick to kick off your week.  Here's a banger by Trip Lee, featuring KB and Andy Mineo--all of the infamous 116 Clique: One-Sixteen. Enjoy and be blessed!

Fling Chune FRIDAY: Hands High

My sincere apologies to everybody for being a day late... the dollar is in the mail. ;o)  I hope everybody had a fantastic week.  Mine was 'aight', nothing new or noteworthy to report.  So with no further ado, leh we fling sum chuuuuune!

I've been trying to play catch-up on my music; mostly via podcasted radio shows and Pandora.  I have a 90s R&B station on the latter that just transports me back to my care-free days of being a teen--LOVE IT!  On iTunes, I'm subscribed to the HolyCulture/RapFest Radio podcast and that feeds my need for hype and holy sounds.  That's where I heard this week's chune that also happens to be a sample from the late 90s banger by Busta Rhymes, Put Your Hands Where My Eyes Can See.  Andy Mineo, the Christian artist who re-made it into Hands High has this webisode project called "Saturday Morning Car-Tunez" where he's remixing "old" hip-hop hits, and you can check them out on his website: AndyMineo.com.

I love stuff like this because as one who overly appreciates phat beats, the lyrics are clean--Christian, even--PLUS I can bang them just as hard as the original.  From the first couple seconds of the track, my head was bobbin' like "Whaaaaat?! That's my JAM!"  You know how that goes... LOL  Anyways, have a blast as you get ya Hands Up to this right heah!

bless,

Fling Chune FRIDAY: Cash or Christ [Fanatics]

Hey errybody! Ready for the weekend?  I surely am [when am I NOT?]! LOL  This week was fairly interesting, as I mentioned earlier.  I'm still chatting it up with the one guy but I'm thinking he needs to fall back just a tad... last night he asked me for my number and I politely declined.  Why?  One reason is sensible and the other is superficial...

sensible: I just met you online and I don't "know" you like that.

superficial: *in my mind* Ummm, he's 4 inches shorter than me. It shouldn't matter since this is just convo, but still...

Meanwhile, in real life: *crickets chirping* O_o

Anyways, this week's chune continues in the vein of my superficial-ness, somewhat.  No major spiritual revelation occurred while I was listening... I just thought the sound was plain-out WICKED!!!  Being the musical connoisseur that I am, I enjoy all aspects of 'ear candy', and Cash or Christ definitely tickled my auditory fancy.

I've never been a fan of heavy metal/grunge rock, but I consider myself musically mature enough to appreciate when something sounds good--regardless of my personal preferences. What's really cool about this chune is that the producers/sound engineers behind 116 Clique had an ingenious idea and executed it flawlessly: take hip-hop songs, strip the boom-bap and lay the vocals over hard rock tracks. The result?  Pure auditory awesomesauce [FYI, this is off an album like that called Amped]!!  I love the fusion of musical genres and this is as delicious as it gets. Please believe that yo' girl is wildin' out to this head-banger! Enjoy!

be blessed!

Fling Chune FRIDAY: My Story

Sorry I'm late, but it's still Friday!  Hope you had a great week.  Mine was just fine--nothing to scream about...

I'm gonna get right into flingin' this chune that I found on Pandora (God bless that site!)  So I was bangin' my Lecrae station when "My Story" came up.  I wasn't too familiar with Da T.R.U.T.H. before a couple years ago when word came out about this big Christian rapper 'falling from grace'.  That didn't make me wanna listen to him afterwards, either--real talk.  But then this chune graced my ears the other day and my ears perked up before the first verse was over OR before I knew who the artist was.

Essentially, he talks about still sharing the gospel of Jesus despite not having a spectacular testimony to share with unbelievers because he grew up in a Christian home, stayed on the straight and narrow, yada, yada, yada... The lyrics got me because I could immediately relate to the storyline; and it didn't hurt that the East Coast boom-bap flava was on point.  Enjoy!

be blessed,
