Wow, how incredibly honored I feel to be apart of The Listening Room session .010!
What a great platform that has been brought to true music lovers by my dear friend Dakota.
This session was challenging because anyone who knows me knows that I love ALL genres of music. I mean I can go from Hip Hop to EDM, Funk to Alternative , Metal to Pop, you name it!
But for this session I wanted to bring different vibes! Music that has maybe inspired my taste and personalities these last few years! I’ve always been someone who super accountable and aware of self improvement. Someone who wants to inspire others to do the same and not be scared to grow or confess the wildest things they’ve been through.
Coming from an environment and upbringing of predominantly Hispanic and African American individuals, I am now so proud to be a Mexican woman with flavor. SO, I found myself listening to a lot of hip hop, and not only did hip hop help shape me, but I found that
most music has always been an outlet for everyone. For people making it, and people listening!
Hip hop however, never stayed the same and evolved into people speaking from their heart and soul over and over again.
I have found some great songs through my life journey! Songs that speak real feelings, and real ish!
I love feeling hype, I love feeling like a bo$$, but also I love when music feels like poetry with a touch of your diary! I love when people can get vulnerable, and political, and I love music that reminds you how the hell you’re feeling and how you should be feeling.
Hope I put a few people on today to new music you’ve never come across!
Take the time to listen! Please enjoy the random vibes!
