What is your favorite genre of music?
When people ask me what kind of music I listen to, I always smile and say, “a mix of everything.” And I mean it. From smooth R&B vocals to gritty old-school rap beats, my playlist is a melting pot of vibes, stories, and timeless sounds.
But if I had to choose, I’d say old-school rap and R&B hold a special place in my heart. It’s the kind of music that feels like home, like growing up, like memories wrapped in rhythm.
Why Old-School Rap Hits Different
There’s something about the way old-school rap tells a story. Artists like Tupac, Biggie, Nas, and Rakim weren’t just making music — they were documenting life, struggles, and truth. The beats were raw, the lyrics were real, and the energy was unmatched.
It wasn’t just about flexing. It was about expression, resilience, and authenticity.
Even today, I’ll throw on a track from the ‘90s and instantly feel grounded. There’s power in those verses — something modern music just can’t always replicate.
R&B: The Soundtrack to My Soul
On the flip side, R&B gives me that emotional connection I crave. From Aaliyah and Brandy to Usher and Boyz II Men, R&B has always had the ability to make me feel seen. It’s soft, sultry, spiritual, and deeply personal.
It’s the kind of music I put on when I need comfort, love, or even a good cry. There’s nothing like hearing a soulful voice pour out pain, passion, or joy — especially when it mirrors how I’m feeling.
I Still Love a Good Mix
Yes, I’ll always have a soft spot for old-school, but I also love exploring different genres. You might catch me listening to lo-fi, reggae, or even pop depending on my mood. I believe music is universal — and my playlist reflects that.
Whether I’m vibing out during a content planning session, journaling, or just needing a mental break, my soundtrack sets the tone.
Music Is More Than Sound — It’s Energy
To me, music isn’t just about entertainment. It’s about energy, healing, and identity. It’s the background to my late-night ideas, early morning motivation, and mid-day reset.
Old-school rap keeps me grounded. R&B keeps me soft. And everything else in between gives me flavor.
