With so many folks getting together with family and friends, there’s a lot to celebrate this summer. Here’s a playlist of songs I’ve been listening to lately—it's a mix of old and new, household names and emerging artists, and a whole lot in between.

I’m sick and tired of hearing about young black men being shot down like animals. It’s senseless and it shows how some people really treat black people. Just like animals we get slaughtered and shown zero respect RIP Ahmaud Arbery Justice for him and his family now.
