What's In Your Deck? #6
Your Top 5 Music Picks
Please list what ya'll been listening to?
Here's what I got.
1. Martin Luther-Rebel Soul Music (Advance)
Martin Luther is a movement in himself. As a musician, he encourages me to be free to be me. That's what's up!
2. Prince-1999 & Purple Rain
Prince is just the undisputed champion! He's individually great as a guitar player, dancer, singer, songwriter, and performer, but to put all of his gifts together in one little man is truly rare.
3. The Police-Regatta de Blanc
This is some early reggae ska infused Police sh!t! Copeland is sick on the drums, Sting is sick on the bass! The songs are killer!
4. Van Hunt-Van Hunt
This CD grew on me. It came highly recommended to me by a friend. It found it's way in my CD and has been there ever since. The material is deep! "Her December is a mood swing, an afternoon fog, meant just for me"
5. James Brown-70's Funk Classics
James Brown is proof that beauty need not be eloquent. This is the music that provided the backdrop for most of the golden age hip hop. I'm like why water it down, give it to me straight no chaser.
Adrian Bryant is a singer, songwriter, and freelance journalist as well as the Fund Development Officer for a mid-sized private non-profit by day.

What's in my rotation--What's up AB?
Jonz: A cat out of England. I'm loving SOUL right now. Leave the neo out of it.
Van Hunt: He's right on. Agree with you Adrian...but Down Here in Hell, classic.
Yahzarah: Why can't I hear real artist like this on the radio. Oh, I can. I have satellite, Ch. 61!
?uestlove: Babies Making Babies: Old school. Reminds me of mama & 'dem spinning records at the family BBQ.
Angie Stone: Funk redefined...would have to say I like previous 2 recordings much better.
Hip Hop-wise: I have been feeling Mobb Deep Infamous here lately. Just to help me with the Corporate Grind...

Hey Cinz!
I'm feelin' you. Down Here in Hell is CRAZY!!!!!
I know a "Babies Makin'Babies" by Sly and the Family Stone. Is that what you are talkin' about?
As for Hip Hop, it's gotta be Nas! "Thief's Theme" is crazy! And “You Know My Style" is just illy!!!
Thanks for the love!
