Chillin’ with Raphael

Digital Crate Digging Continues as we get this HumpDay Extravaganza underway on a cool / rainy morning / afternoon in Atlanta..

Weather forecasters would call it a raw day, raw is how we’ll play coinciding with the vibe; somebody will understand a brotha!!

Weather forecasting like Al Roker, peeping the game of a foul joker rolling like Donald Trump and Mitch McConnell…

….include Bill Barr in that foul crew, so what it do? sonic assaults are unleashed on those that want us to fail..

Jumped the bar that they raise, the Lord we’ll praise for the blessing even though we know the devil and his advocates will keep stressing..

Humped like the middle of the week, the earth inherited by the meek? we’ll count our blessings…

…while listening to Chillin’ with Raphael as he does his neo soul / soul jazz / jazzhop thing!!

Weldon Irvine – Watergate—Don’t Bug Me!

Digital Crate Digging Continues on what I refer to as a Terrible / Terrific Tuesday, things can go either way..

The saga / struggle continues aka life goes on, you’ve heard me mention  old dude from East Saint Louis telling us to choose our poison / drink our elixir and keep it moving / enter the fray..

Of course we’ll need to pray first, you’ve heard me mention  old dude from Louisville / Newburg Mr Cole refer to this as a Rat Race / Dog Eat Dog World..

The Battle Cry is utilized; Lord Help!! Lord Help!! as we enter the fray!! that’s the deal plus we didn’t merge with the apparatus check the status we didn’t roll like that!! we’re chilling out as the drama unfurled..

Coronavirus to system racism, plus shady business from the Trump administration per actors like Bill Barr and  a hypocritical Mitch McConnell remind me that things change but remain the same..

R I .P. to John Lewis, not surprising us that they’re acting brand new with this but we realize it’s all game..

….reminded of 1972 to 1974 when the Watergate scandal  was prominent, history repeating itself?

Weldon Irvine with Watergate—Don’t Bug Me! reminded me of those times; check the players and the track see for yourself..
