Rodney Hunter – Midas (Original Version)

Digital Crate Digging Continues on a Throwback Thursday, excuse us as we hit the ground running..

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on! a Thankful Thursday attitude  comes to mind during this Talib Kweli mentioned beautiful struggle! it got lonely out here but we kept on running…

…word from Brotha O, he kept funky drumming in the midst of the ongoing madness the sound is weaponized..

Whatcha know? beats will bump while O-Zone presents the facts, not hiding anything like Trump Taxes per plots and schemes devised..

Foolishness and greed exhibited like Midas? it doesn’t surprise us like dereliction of duty per the response to the coronavirus..

Rodney Hunter with  Midas (Original Version) plays in the background, can we get down? jokers will try to put mufflers on us like Midas..

War – You Got The Power

Digital Crate Digging Continues on this Terrible / Terrific Tuesday; so named because things can go either way…

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on / toil and strife goes on, but we’re not quitting / stopping we’ll continue to play..

.. we’ll continue to play this hand we’re dealt but we’re wise to the whole set up; knowing these gamblers were out for a fast buck is how we felt…

They dipped in a fast buck after the hit the treasury up for the PPP funds;if they knew Trump or somebody in DC  it would help.

My people flipped out in these streets of America due to Covid 19 / systemic racism plus unemployment, those little $1,200 stimulus checks didn’t help

O-Zone dipped out of those streets, still sheltering in place but dropping this funk per this O-Dog Day Party; my constituents it’ll help…

Listening to one of my favorite groups War, they’re dropping the funk with a track called You  Got The Power

Noticed on the album cover they’re wearing masks but it was for other tasks; “dat rona”  wasn’t around yet,  futuristic? check out the players and the track, I know it’s not Throwback Thursday or Flashback Friday but this funk is good for any day / hour…

…along with Donald Trump, but Dr Anthony Fauci said slow your roll;  meanwhile down here in Atlanta police tried to tell Rayshard Brooks to slow his roll but now he’s deceased, now Keisha Lance Bottoms told Chief Erika Shields she has to go…

We’ll just have to fight our way through, some are tired of the struggle I heard what was said; it’s rough out here!!
