Higher Ground Music Show #22

DOH! Glad the week is over! I have to get serious about a few things. 1)Finding a spot to DJ. A lounge, a bar..something hip, but not a club. 2)Clearing up some financial matters. Credit cards, the scissors are a comin'! 3)Practicing my drums even more than I already do. Trap kit and congas. Music is what I love, but I love the performance aspect more than the business part. Anyway, I am glad the weeks is over. YES! Now on the music. I got some real dope vibes this week. Some grooves from Bazilian Beat Brooklyn, Res, Fertile Ground, Dwele. The AfroBeat Explosion is in full effect with some new jams. And as always, I'm peppering the show with house, latin, jazz, samba and neo soul. Hope you enjoy it. Here is the tracklist:
