KanKick: Oh My God What I Have Been Missing?

Hello, gentle readers. Right now my ears are experiencing a type of auditory pleasure that is both rare and inspiring.

Excuse me for a moment, I think I hear something.....Is that one of my characters calling out for me? Ronald? Oh hey baby, hold on I'm coming, just let me finish this post. I last left you on the edge of your bed, didn't I?

Let me hurry this up, Ronald awaits. He comes when a delicious melody begins to court me.

So, I'm listening to a fellow by the name of KanKick. Remember the guy I mentioned in the other post who introduced me to Asheru? Well he also told me to check out a guy called KanKick who was pretty good. I wrote the name down, but it slipped my mind. Until tonight. Today was one of those days where I wanted nothing more than to hurry to the security of my home, lock the door, and not leave until I absolutely had to. I blew off a networking event tonight at a trendy spot where the area's "BUPs" (black urban professionals) like to hang out and impress each other. I wanted to be alone with Jennifer, to talk to her, listen to her. Just "do me" as they say. I have a lot on my mind these days. Mainly the future, what should I do next, what life is trying to tell me. Stuff like that. I arrived home to find another shingle had escaped from my roof (they've been sliding off for about two months now, causing me great anxiety). Discovering it pitifully hanging on my fence so that I would notice it immediately seemed like an appropriate ending to "just one of those days." So as I pondered the journey of finding a reliable contractor to climb atop my roof and hopefully not take advantage of me, I reached for my nightly comfort. YouTube. After listening to Jeru the Damaja kill his verse in "Return of the Crooklyn Dodgers," I remembered KanKick.

And oh boy.Let's just say that right now I'm feeling sooo much better. The day is now a memory, this whole week really. So I grabbed my cell phone and was planning to snap a pic of myself for this post, but they all looked terrible. Cell phone pics make me look fat, or should I say, don't hide it. So I said screw this, I'm going to make a video instead. Narcissistic videos are all the rage now, so I figured I'd give it a try too. Of course the quality is awful and I look better than what this video is claiming, but oh well. I'm posting it anyway. It's so odd to hear my own voice and see my facial expressions. I don't get to see myself like this.

So here's me listening to KanKick's "Deleting Programs" featuring God's Gift. Don't laugh too hard at me. It's my first time, OK?

  1. KanKick----talk about mellow and jazzy, with a little-i-don't-care artzy throwed up in it. Now that's music to unwind by. I listened to "Kanstrumentals 1-7 `From Artz Unknown`"
