Angles
This post today was created with inspiration from “Angles” by Mick Jenkins ft. Noname & Xavier Omar. Side note: I completely thought the title was Angels until I started to write this post.

As a little throwback and gift for visiting my new page. I’ll share what’s on my iPod. For anyone that knows me, knows that I am a HUGE music-head.
