Fleet Foxes – Blue Ridge Mountains

There is a sad happiness effect that this song puts onto you. The neo-folk rock movement has been bringing some amazing music the last few years. The song-writing is simple yet brings an effect that the whole movement could’ve taken months to craft. Shoutout to @WMUA intern for this recommendation

50 Cent – Do You Think About Me

This beat and production is such a reminder to the #No Way Out days. 50 Cent’s talent is that he can articulate while mumbling, which is mind-boggling. And what other rapper sings in nearly half of his songs? Too bad his shelf-life seems to be expiring in the game; not sure if this last album has hit gold yet.
