The Urban Retro Playlist

These facts were recently discovered "you dont even know" in kevin harts voice.

The song of the day is I'm Alive by  Celine Dion from her 2002 album A New Day Has Come. I listened to this a lot when I was younger because at the time every body was a Celine Dion fan in my house I guess. Its an uplifting song that expresses happiness, I guess she was at a very good point in her life. I think at the time was also very popular. Its has this r&b Pop like vibe and  It eventually went platinum in Belgium. I heard it yesterday and I just began to remember when I was younger and stuff and how music has evolved since then. I consider it a classic and if you haven't heard it before you should definitely listen to it.

The song of the day is Deaf a single released by Nigerian female Rapper from her soon coming E.P. She talks about hustling,comparisons,frustration and how things are going for her generally in her verses,also I think she was subing someone though . The sound was very Unorthodox, I haven't heard much similar to this sound it had a different paradigm .I really liked the vocals on the chorus, it was kinda traditional but sounded very cool. Also the delivery was tight, but she was way more explicit. Clearly there were some elements that expressed or suggested  anger in her verses. But in all it was a nice performance, I expect more awesome music from her in time to come.

There are 4 days left in the transfer window, still awaiting a very mad transfer. Hope deadline day would be exciting. Enjoy  the pictures.

The song of the day is by Timber by Pitbull featuring american recording artist Ke$ha from his Extended play Meltdown 2013. The song was originally supposed to feature Rihanna but she was unavailable at the time. The song has several elements in it notably the Harmonica giving it kind of a country vibe but it is more of a Dance, Pop feel. The song was able to peak at number 1 on several charts around the world. The song is very upbeat, energetic and juft fun to listen to. The tune has been stuck in my head for days now I just cant get enough of it.

The song of the day is Let Rap Down a cover for J.Cole's Let Nas Down done by Nigerian Rapper Pryce Williams released in 2013. This was actually the first track I heard from him and I really liked it. He was telling a story about music in Nigeria from his own perspective. He talked about his idols and how they inspire him to still have hope and keep rapping. I think the strongest thing he had going was his content which is usually not the case in Nigerian music. I hope he goes on making more music like this cause when I heard this I was like there is a future for Nigerian rap and we can still make it. I recommend that you listen to it if you haven't heard it before.

Its 6 days left in the transfer window so the transfer trolling continues. I was able to get my hands on a few pictures, enjoy!

More memes,enjoy!

The song of the day is The Language by Drake from his 2013 album Nothing Was The Same. The song consist of this slow instrumental with some heavy bass behind it. Lyrically he  talks about his life so far and he stated how hard he was working on his album and other things. He allegedly dissed Kendrick Lamar for his Control verse and Kendrick also replied allegedly with his B.E.T cypher verse. Drake was also reaffirming his status as one of the best rappers and clearing the air about the rumours that he was having problems with his label cash money records. The song is similar with Well Be Fine from his 2011 album Take Care both having outros with Birdman. I like the song a lot because he actually focused more on rapping and for sure he killed it, most definitely one of the best song on the album though it was not as commercially successful as some other songs on the album.

Just a few football memes,they mostly trolled man united but other are also involved.Enjoy!

The song of the day is Adorn by American singer Miguel from his second album Kaleidoscope Dream. The song was written and produced solely by him. It was inspired by his girlfriend he was had been a way for a while and was anxious to see her. It had some weird but cool background sounds and this sub bass sound on the beat is the most notable sound. It has this whole electro soul vibe thing going. It is a very calm but emotional song, occasionally he got to some points where he sang some high pitched notes. The song got nominated for three Grammy awards, eventually it won for the category of Best R&B Song. For sometime it was my favourite song and it still has one of the most plays on my computer.

The song of the day is Rolling in the deep by British singer Adele from her second album 21 released in 2011. This was one of the most popular songs of the album, and it was one of her most successful song commercially. It was different from the regular slow tempo she usually uses in her songs, it was faster and the instruments were much more upbeat. It talk about heartbreak and reminiscing about a different time. The song received several awards and it has also been used in several TV shows including Gossip Girl and Dancing with the stars to name a few. The vocals on the song are amazing and i guess she started the whole you can make it with out being explicit in you video as a lady. She broke a lot of records when the full album was released and this one of the songs that helped her with such achievements. I consider it a classic and if you are a blues fan and you haven't heard it before(which i doubt),I strongly recommend you listen to it.

The song of the day is Swim Good by Frank Ocean from his 2011 mixtape Nostalgia,Ultra. It is a Neo Soul song if you listen to it its like a suicide song but the tune and the vocals do not really suggest that exactly. This is considered the best song on the mixtape. He considers the song an imagery and a little bit of a satire. The vocals on the song are very good and it also featured Tyler The Creator vocals . In the song he was talking about trying to escape something bigger than him also about heartbreak and that kind of stuff. He has this this distinct sound that is very intriguing guess that is what attracts me to his music.

The song has this alternative vibe to it. It talks about perseverance even at the lowest points in life. The song is meant to inspire you no matter the situation you facing it tells you to carry on. Not sure why I was playing it all night but the tune is stuck in my head right now. The song has several vocals and guitars in it it just has the regular Fun tune. The song has gone platinum in the US and I think the first time I heard it was during a TV series or a commercial, I like them a lot guess it because they remind me of Coldplay.

Just a few unrelated pictures, enjoy.

Lol, I've always been a wretch32 fan so i was surprised when i heard this song for the first time, it was on fifa14, and i remember hearing the song come on and i was like....nice beat....wait isn't that wretch?? anyway the song is about á 24hour week, yes you read right, the life of a star and how it affects his everyday decisions and life in general, as always his lyrics have depth and will keep you asking......is it ended already??

5) D' Kings Men    D'Banj
D'Banj showed with the album that he is not in the same level as other Nigerian artist with this album he had both Local and international Artist on his Tracks and was able to produce a number of smash hits. But still there were a number of old songs. But it was a good performance by the koko master.

We have to start the new year with smiles and laughter, so here are some fresh new trolls enjoy, Happy new year.
