Last September, I recorded a song called "Vibes" for my upcoming album at Stankonia Studios in Atlanta. I talk about some of the hardships I've dealt with from 2009 to the present. Being broke, jobless and couch-surfing in Chicago. Getting caught up scheming. Facing tough artistic criticism from an affiliate, then receiving a call that that same person was shot and killed.

While all of these events were bad vibes, I've learned about both the good and bad vibes people can emit through their energy. This is a playlist of songs that remind me of those moments.
