Isn't this a wonderful gift from the music gods. This song has a wonderful marriage between the melodic new age and old school revamp of Kanye West 808's. The two enter a strange area of the hot and cold relationship.
Who has ever been in a relationship where you feel as if your spouse may have mixed personalities? One day they are happy they love you to death and then the next day they hate you and wish they never met you? What about being in the relationship with the person that claimed that wanted you to treat them one way but when you do they are apprehensive? What about that relationship where your lover blocks you on all social media? They are not answering any of your calls and trying to completely disconnect from you? If you have ever experienced any of that in a relationship then this is the song for you. What a surprise we as hip-hop fans to hear from Kanye West! How fitting is it to give us a song about mental health? I do not know about you guys but I know all too well what this kind of love feels like. That crazy love that makes you go crazy with it because it means that much and you just have to have it! If you are a hopeless romantic and you are willing to go bipolar for your love then this is the song for you! Pick up the new album from YMF Melly We All Shine Out Now

The song "Cocaine" is featured on Royce Da 5'9 album "The Book Of Ryan" That was released May 4th 2018 on Royce's own label Heaven Studios and eOne Music.
Some know him for his work with Eminem and some know him from his work with Slaughter house, no matter how you resonate with Royce Da 5'9 you would never know that he had the ability to sing a whole song that is the first part that catches you off guard about this song. Second stand out factor of this song is the content and subject matter. For a lot of African American's their are issues with Mental health and most of them come from a history of drug and alcohol abuse in the home. This song is all about a young child discovering his father had an addiction to cocaine and the challenges it caused on his family. He then talks about how his father got help for the sake of him and his family and how appreciative as a son he was because of it. He also poses the question to the listener would he have had issues with alcohol and the law had he not inherited all of the pain from his fathers drug use. This song to me was so important for 2018 because in 2018 it almost felt like every new artist was abusing so many drugs including cocaine. To hear an artist talk so profoundly on what cocaine has done to him and his family in the era where being a drug addict seems to be cool in short a lot of the youth can benefit from hearing about the negatives of drug use and the generational damage it can cause. The video perfectly tells the story and actually makes you get into the song a little deeper. I hope you guys get what I got out of this song and share it with a friend. 1.

If you are like me you like a good "Bop" you like a good vibe, you like a good beat with great content on top of it. What better content is their than the glory of god?
As I looked for new artist on Youtube to update this section with I came across a page that uploads great playlist! They are not too long they are well put together and no need for skips. You all need to get into this. I remember the day that I discovered this song, I was swimming in heart break creating happiness in the middle of denile. I just wanted my ex fiance to understand that she was not only messing up her own life but she was effectively killing me. I was having panic attacks and constantly sad. I was drinking ALL OF THE TIME it was almost like the amount of liquor had no real impact on me because the amount just increasing but the level of intoxication never elevated. The alcohol became sleeping pills because that is all that I did when I drank. I cried and fell asleep, or I was drinking with a group of friends where drinking is literately all they are good for, they bring nothing else worth it to the table.
Just like the lyrics in the song I wanted her to take responsibility for not only how I was feeling but also for the healing I felt I required to feel better. I wanted her to just come back to me so we could fix the issue together. I wanted her to realize that nothing good would come to her if she kept on trying to cheat her way to happiness. I kept on trying to get her to just talk to me and explain to me what her actual issues were. Until this day, I still do not really know what was the straw the broke the camels back. Until this day I still believe that to an extent it was not her or I that tor our relationship apart, it was God coming in and saving my life and telling my ex ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. I love my ex very much but the fact is she is selfish she is inconsiderate and if you take a look at her life today and compare it to when she was with me the choice she made served her no benefit at all and almost every month that goes by since she has left her life is getting worse and worse. I decided I wanted to be in her life no matter how crazy it sounds or what it is that she had done or will do because I honestly loved her. It was and is still one of the hardest things I will ever have to do in my life. One day as I was leaving therapy I started to think about my situation and then like a crazy person in the movies I went from wiping tears from my eyes to laughing out loud my stomach started to hurt. The idea that I was the one at the advantage as well as the one that was hurting the most showed me some doors that god has been trying to open in my life. First thing "I kept putting bulletproof vest on my relationship when god tried to kill it a very long time ago" I kept saving a dead situation when I should have said rest in peace. Second thing was I realized that I am not the one that has to start over with almost nothing. I am not the one with a shifty living situation and no real support with a whole other issue growing inside of me. I am not confused about my sexuality or where I will be in the next few months. It hit me MORGEN YOU ARE AT THE ADVANTAGE WHAT ARE YOU DOING! I gave it all to GOD and it was no turning back. I started reading again studying the bible and focusing more on me. I stopped wishing that she would come back and found happiness alone without her. Shorty after that god started walking a different class of women into my life. I started talking to college students with more ambition than what was displayed by my ex. I started talking to more independent women who actually were and not just saying how independent they were when I knew that I was the one fronting the financial burden of our union or getting help from my family members. Then the day came, My ex sent me a photo and I didn't find her beautiful anymore. i looked at the photo and seen a woman that was doing bad, someone who was not taking care of herself the way that I am used to her taking care of herself, she didn't even look like she smelled as good as I remember her smelling. That photo was the day that I officially fell out of love and let go. This song helped me through my storm and I still listen to it. This is a good vibe and it helped me learn to take control of my feelings and instead of begging for her to hold on to me and not let go I got a grip on the lord and I do not plan on ever letting go. Very motivational and powerful song encouraging young adults as well as elders to live their best possible life. Great message for the children as well as a song that I often go to when I am hurting or sad. It is an uplifting song, it has a powerful message and after I listen to it I feel so much better. I know Jahan personally as we grew up in the same area. To watch how he grows and the things he does with his music motivates me to be better everyday. Support him
