Isa Abney

Brooklyn

Cold Specks, A Peaceful Expulsion
Santigold, Master Of My Make-Believe

Both albums are brilliant, they satisfy the soul. They made me feel understood.

Alicia Keys, When It's All Over

Makes you realize the saints in your life.

Macklemore's "The Heist"

Great lyrics, positive message, makes me believe there's something left in hip-hop rather than solely flashy cars and girls

Matisyahu's "Spark Seeker"

Always positive, his music feeds the soul. All songs nowadays are about love/bad romances, his music is about one thing: you. The being, in all forms and fashions.

Frank Ocean--Too over hyped. I hated how he used his sexuality as a PR stunt to gain more sales for his album

Frank Ocean--Channel Orange. Too overblown, distracts from the other talents in the business. What if all that money/press spent on him was spent on artists with real messages, i.e. Santigold, Macklemore, Matisyahu, Cold Specks, Norah Jones, etc.
