#DailyDrop

School of hard knocks, class of gentleman you late for this

Tayyib Ali. "Do It (High School Dropout)." Do It (High School Dropout), All Def Music, LLC, 2012.

🎶   I'm a high school dropout
Hard with the flow
Skateboards and this weed smoke
Is all that I know
Young rebels who we are
Soon to be a superstar
Hard work hey, get on your job 🎶 

So much time wasted playing games with love

Lenny Kravitz. "It Ain't Over 'Til It's Over." Mama Said, Virgin Records America, Inc., 1991.

〰〰〰

Hearts of fire creates love desire

And you come to me on a summer breeze

Bee Gees. "How Deep Is Your Love." Saturday Night Fever Original Movie Sound Track, Barry Gibb, The Estate of Robin Gibb and The Estate of Maurice Gibb, under exclusive license to Warner Strategic Marketing Inc., a Warner Music Group Company, 1977.

Working on a very special edition of #views and feeling all the vibes of this track right now. Celebrate love and take it easy, baby.

Every part of me says, "go ahead"

Tame Impala. "Feels Like We Only Go Backwards." Lonerism, Modular Recordings, 2012.

🍄🍄🍄.

I hear you callin' me to come back, I'm a sucka for love

Tupac. "Do For Love." R U Still Down? [Remember Me], Interscope Records, 1997.

This track. That Bobby Caldwell sample. All the feels.

While we're at it, scroll down below to check out both the original "What You Won't Do For Love" as well as the insanely talented Jessie Ware with her take on the classic (both live and with production from Sampha).

You left the front door unlocked waiting for me to arrive

Nick Hakim. "Cuffed." Green Twins, ATO Records LLC, All Rights Reserved, 2017.

Digging this hauntingly beautiful, soulful track from Nick Hakim. Scroll down to catch a pretty trippy live performance from a church in Brooklyn last November.

Tell me things that you've done

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues

David Bowie. "Let's Dance." Let's Dance,  EMI America Records, 1983.

RIP to one of the greatest. Legendary Toronto DJ Skratch Bastid flipped an incredible mix of this track on Monday at the Ace Hotel in DTLA (check out the video below for the version he recorded shortly after Bowie's death last year and that went viral online).

Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips

Stevie Wonder. "Do I Do." Stevie Wonder's Original Musiquarium, Motown Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc., 1982.

First up is the music video for this classic track, featuring the legendary Dizzy Gillespie (scroll down for the longer version).

Can't. Stop. Dancing.

🎶 Yes I got some candy kisses for your lips
Yes I got some honey suckle chocolate dripping kisses full of love for you 🎶

What a night for a dance, you know I'm a dancing machine

Kings Of Leon. "Revelry." Only By The Night, RCA Records, a unit of SONY BMG MUSIC ENTERTAINMENT, 2008.

Late night jam sessions.

Scroll down to catch the Kings Of Leon perform this track live off BBC Three's coverage from the Reading Festival in 2009.

Well, my friends, the time has come

Lionel Richie. "All Night Long." Can't Slow Down, Motown Records, a Division of UMG Recordings, Inc., 1983.

So we thought this one would be a karaoke classic, but it fell flat the other night at our local Backstage Lounge. Maybe it wasn't the right track to follow up Ginuwine's "Pony." Nevertheless, this jam remains a banger in my mind. Always.

Loving what your heart becomes

James Vincent McMorrow. "Get Low." We Move, Mahogany Books / Burning Rope, 2016.

Another gloomy morning here in L.A.

Can't ever get enough of McMorrow's haunting voice, and this track -- produced by Toronto's Anthony Paul Jefferies (aka Nineteen85) -- feels like just the thing until the clouds get out of the way.
