Resurrection

So it's a new month and I actually had a good idea what songs I was going to use for this month for once. I actually should have used these last month when I had my dry spell but for some strange reason I didn't think about it till April's player was uploaded. Anyhow, the central theme of this month is one of my favorite artists.



Kenna... mysterious, musical and down right awesome.

Turn: A song Kenna wrote for his 'Summit on the Summit' project (www.summitonthesummit.com). This songs shows Kenna's ability to make haunting melodies and at the same time be involved with something important. The water crisis is real and it's nice that Kenna is giving back.

Resurrection: Produced by Mike Shinoda of Linkin Park fame and featuring Lupe Fiasco, again Kenna wears his heart on his sleeve and dedicates this song to the Haiti effort. A truly inspiration song and one of my favorite songs of this new year hands down.

Dumb it Down: Not a >II< song but Lupe has collaborated with Kenna on 'Resurrection' and other songs, he was also a big participant in the 'Summit on the Summit'. This ties all three songs together. Dumb it Down is one of my fave Lupe songs because of his clever word play.

Well enjoy!
