Emanuele AKA Dj Bubbles
About me: Hello, I’m the news and Exposure director at the Impact. I love my job, but it also makes me a little crazy and means I don’t spent as much time tuning into music, as I do news. So, I’m doing this list my way. No new music. My list is the top five songs I never knew existed until 2012. Got it ? Good. Let’s begin.
The Moon Looks Down and Laughs- Billie Holiday
What can you really say about Billie beyond perfection. This song is sweet and slow and heartbreaking. Pure Billie. Pure blues. (Plus it’s in my range so I can annoy others with it).
Black Dialogue- The Perceptionists Lyrics
Akrobatik and Mr Lif drop knowledge on this track. Not only are the lyrics and rhymes hot, but man does the beat groove.
“Yo, martin and malcolm knew it
Black dialogue
Grandma moses drew it
Black dialogue
Stevie wonder seen it
Black dialogue
Many games to steam with
Black dialogue
Jim brown, ran with
Black dialogue
Cubie nukem ??? had a plan with
Black dialogue
Chuck d took a stand for
Black dialogue
Krs is the man with
Black dialogue
The whole world is after
Black dialogue”
Sometimes I Rhyme Slow- Nice-n-Smooth
Heartbreaking and poignant, underscored by a sample of Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. Smooth beat. Too good.
Maar Dala - Devdas
Much to the displeasure of my co-workers I listen to a lot of Hindi music. This track is from the film Devdas. I love it. Everything about it.
Whole Wide World -Wreckless Erik
This track is flawless, with a Buddy Holiday sensibility Wreckless Eric rocks out for all 2 minutes and 53 seconds.
