Music is something that I truly believe is special. It matters not what the genre maybe, because we all have different experiences thus perspectives of life. When I listen to music, my preferences are a bit heavier than most. When I listen to hip-hop on occasion the tone is usually angrier and more bass filled. In fact I actually admire people like Eminem and Snoop Dogg and Teacher/Preacher. These folks excel in technical application of music and have achieved something. But particular... one of my favorite hiphoppy songs is performed by That Handsome Devil: https://open.spotify.com/track/7CzFVoOW2uFsY1nkyMvq1Y?si=m5OgvD6cSeiiUYEUkrcyQQ.
Below are a couple of songs that just ring true and then some more tracks and facts below.

I believe that music's primary function is to share a feeling with others. Sometimes when I choose to play music while working or just drinking coffee, I select something that motivates me to think forward. Like I said before, my choices are usually packing more of an auditory punch and deeper meaning... or not. Sometimes I just like the muzak and tune out the words, who doesn't like hearing an axe grinding away? Listed below are a few favorite tracks and my #InfidelRadio playlist on spotify.

CoC just released a new album named 'No Cross No Crown' which contains 15 tracks that sort of showcase the 'evolution & revolution' of the band over the last 35 years. This album in particular is remarkable because it has Pepper back in the fold after a few years ring with the previously listed above band aptly named DOWN that featured Phil Anselmo of Pantera on vocals.
