Music Monday Is Dead! All Hail The Playlist!
Recently I made a conscious decision to start writing more and as Seth Godin says, the more you write, the less rubbish you get. Some might even say, the better you get. I'm hoping to get out a bit of the nonsense that rattles around in my mind and hopefully put it in some form of entertaining and even informative discourse for the readers. For a while now, writing about things that interest, intrigue and inspire me is a pursuit that I really enjoy, and the fact that it keeps me searching for and discovering these "things", whatever they may be, is just as important.
But I digress. This post is an announcement. ANNOUNCEMENT. Music Mondays is no more. Though I loved the posting up whatever had been filling my ears that week, I fear that I won't be able to keep posting every single Monday. I still felt it was important to keep the music aspect of Village Boy as music is such a huge and important part of my life, I couldn't do without it. Plus I love nothing more than getting people interested in music I love, and when people do the same for myself. So make your peace with Music Mondays and welcome The Playlist in the world. The Playlist will be featured whenever I few it is necessary to share a track with you, new or old, genre irrelevant. As the posts grown it will create a series of songs for your listening pleasure. So with that, enough for your eyes, here's something for your EARS:
Drake - Headlines
Drake ft Nicki Minaj - Make Me Proud
Nas - Nasty
The Black Keys - Lonely Boy
Duck Sauce - Big Bad Wolf
Jay Electronica ft Mobb Deep - Call Of Duty: MW3
Now that seems like a pretty good way to start The Playlist.

Music Monday 58.
Mumford And Sons - Home
Remember Mumford And Sons? Of course you do. Most of the music loving world has played Sigh No More a million times, and their songs seem to take turns with Adele in providing background music for any sort of highlights. So it's so good to hear something new and get people looking forward to the new album, rumored 2012. 'Home' is a emotion-filled track about leaving people behind, it's warm and tender, and leaves my appetite whet for the new album.
Common - Ghetto Dreams (Ft Nas)
Yep, that's Common back. WITH NAS. This track is immense. No holds barred, they go strong. Nothing else left to say here.
The Knux - Run (Ft Kid Cudi)
Yey Cudi is back! And he's happy! It's easy to dismiss that this more 'poppy' and upbeat track as Cudi selling out, but far from it. Despite his two albums being as dark and emo as rap can get, his mixtapes were a much brighter and happier collection of tracks. I think everybody was getting a bit fed up of Cudi droning on about how stoned he always is, so it's good to get something fresh, especially something that sounds so, err, fresh.
Wiley - Wise Man And His Words.
Not sure if this a single off the new Wiley album, but it should be. Wiley is quickly dismissed by many and, to be fair, if you make a track like Rolex, you deserve to be. However if you can look past that 'song' you will see that Wiley works hard, and is a seriously accomplished rapper, so I feel that he deserves a second chance. And with this lovely yet simple piano loop underneath his lyrics, his second coming is here.
