10 musicians that Martin Luther King, Jr. might have liked

1. Alicia Keys: Since bursting on the scene in with Songs in A Minor, Alicia Keys has blessed us with some of the most prolific love ballads of all-time. Her cover of Bob Marley’s "Redemption Song" at the Staying Alive concert was one of the most moving performances in modern-music history.

2. Marvin Sapp: This record-breaking gospel recording artist continues to spread the message of God’s love and mercy. With two cross over hits, "The Best In Me" and "Never Would of Made It," Marvin Sapp’s inspirational melody has helped him to become the all-time highest charting gospel artist in Billboard history.

3. Nas: Crowned as the greatest lyricist of all-time by CNN, Nasir Jones is proof that hip-hop is not dead. With thought-provoking songs like "I Can," "Poison," and "Black President," Nas continues to teach lessons of empowerment and liberation to this lost generation of music lovers.

4. Lupe Fiasco: Controversial, outspoken, and introspective are a few words that describe the Chi-town native. Although he hasn’t had the same amount of commercial success as his comrade Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco continues to garner critical success while staying involved as a political activist.

5. Mary,Mary: The gospel-duo-turned-reality-TV-stars are nominated for another Grammy for their song "Go Get It." Their blend of uptempo “church music” bridges the gap between the old and new.

6. M.I.A.: The London-bred singer and philanthropist is a revolutionary in every sense of the word. Named by Esquire magazine as one of the most influential people of the 21st century, M.I.A. continues to be the voice of the oppressed world-wide.

7. Dead Prez: The revolutionary but gangsta duo of Stic Man and M1 have been blessing us with their socially conscious lyrics for over a decade. Their lyrics, which focus on Pan Africanism and cultural awareness, have failed to land them crossover success – but this group is still bigger than hip-hop.

8. Damon “Jr. Gong” Marley: Being the son of reggae legend Bob Marley, Damon “Jr. Gong” Marley's only choice is to carry the baton into the 21st century. In 2010, Jr. Gong hooked up Nas to create a conscious collaboration called Distant Relatives. Proceeds for the album were to be used to build a school in Congo, Africa.

9. Talib Kweli: With a new album called Prisoner of Concious set to be released this year, Talib Kweli will more than likely deliver another album that is filled with thought provoking and heartfelt lyrics.

10. Common: Though this rapper should have been on the top of our list, in the book it says the last shall be first and the first shall be last.

Bonus: Macklemore: The rap phenomenom has taken the Billboard charts by storm with his latest single “Thrift Shop” and has even received a cosign from Ellen Degeneres. I’m not sure what MLK Jr.’s stance would be on same sex marriage, but he would probably support any artist that demands equality for all and one that has spent time working with incarcerated youth.

Friends, Music, and Art. Thank you for getting me through this.

Hip-hop, you the stable love of my life.

The sexiest song in my world right now

SBTRKT - Wildfire (OVO Remix) [feat. Drake]

By being outside I learned about my inside.

-It's GOOD Music

Thinkin Bout You by Frank Ocean

Not to anyone specific, just really enjoy this song and what it does to my brain

Music discovery.. Legacy Pack

Thanks to the Soular Power System site which I absolutely recommend reading through, I discovered Legacy Pack. SOULful music.

Makes me think about the music that I love and connect with... music from the soul.

This life...

is epic. and beautiful. And what I'm looking for is the meaning of it all. That's who I am. that's the people I attract. and that is what I want to marry. When words are not enough, music speaks. and why do I love music? because artists have treasures of knowledge, love, and meaning to share with the world that can make us better. i.e. you. i.e. me. they have something to offer that we don't know. and we have something to offer. let's all share.

peace.
