This is a classic Sade remix, "By Your Side," by Ben Watt. She's got a ton of voice and a ton of tunes, but this one sticks with me most and reminds me of my dad. I remember a few months back, I was doing a photoshoot with G-Train and DJ Shad at the Record Bar, unbeknownst...

East Coast rap legend, Keith Murray, came to the Record Bar a couple of years ago and it was definitely one of the top 5 live hip hop shows I've ever seen. His energy didn't let up for his entire set and he wore that bitch out, with a grimey snarl on his face throughout. ...
