Marvin Gaye made A P.O.W. Christmas song YOU NEED to hear by Dan-O You need to follow Questlove of The Roots on all social media platforms.

My Favorite and Least Favorite sexual song of 2019
My Favorite and Least Favorite sexual song of 2019 by Dan-O I love moments. A song is sometimes a story but other times just a series of moments.

Song of The Year-Nont For Sale by Sudan Archives
Song of The Year-Nont For Sale by Sudan Archives by Dan-O I would bet the artist Sudan Archives knows more about the violin than I know about my family.

Mixtape review-Drunken Babble by Kalie Uchis
Mixtape review-Drunken Babble by Kalie Uchis by Dan-O It is possible I have fallen so hard for Kali Uchis music because of her diction.

Song of The Year-No Sleeep by Janet Jackson featuring J.Cole by Dan-O At the height of her fame Janet was stuck smack in the middle between two of the most important female artists in history.
