Hey! Once again, it’s that time for my monthly compilation. After we lost Michael Jackson, I pulled out a lot of old soul music to stroll down memory lane a bit.   I’m an 80′s baby but this music was consistently BLARING throughout the house when I was a kid. It feels like home when I listen. I’ve also been feeling inspired by the summertime and the inner-city beauty in my Harlem backyard. You will recognize some of these because  the classics always get sampled, but I picked some low-key ones too. I definitely spent more time putting this together than I normally do so let me know if the music moves you the way it moves me. XO
