Cosmo Baker’s Top Ten List – January 2012

Starting 2012 off with some brand new tunes that are working it for me. In a nutshell, 2012 is hands down going to be the best year ever. And I cannot wait. My dear friend King Britt told me tonight “This is a very important year… Stay true.” We all have no choice, so let’s get lost in the rhythm.

Top Tunes Of 2011

People steady complain that no good music comes out anymore and I really have to vehemently disagree with them – There was so much amazing music that came out this year that it was almost impossible to stay on top of all of it! I did my best, with my somewhat-monthly Top Ten Mix series, but even with that you can see that it didn’t really hit on everything. So I compiled a list of some of my most favorite songs of 2011. These are the tunes that really moved me, and who know… Knowing how things are with me, I may just add another dozen or so songs to this list by January 1st. Either way, check these tunes out, jam out them, and most importantly, go buy the music and / or support the artists!

This entire post was inspired partly by watching everyone’s “best of” lists all up and down Twitter, and me wanting to hop on the bandwagon. But it truly was inspired by my friends at the Brazil-based website AVolta.com. They asked me to do a write up similar to this and so I banged out for my homies. You can check the whole entry right here.

Cosmo Baker’s Top Ten List – December 2011

Whattup kiddos? It’s your friendly neighborhood selector Cosmo baker with another 10+ heavy choons that really moved me this month. Yes, I’m sending the year out with a bang with the latest edition of the Top Ten. There’s a whole bunch of joints on here that really kill it but specifically I want to  give a shout to my homeboy Michna who killed with his own version of the song from the movie “Drive.” But that’s not to detract from any of the other songs cause they’re all heaters. Anyway, as always, listen, comment, download, share, and most of all, enjoy…

It has been a minute since I’ve gotten the chance to bang one of these Top Ten Mixes out but you know how it goes. Sometimes life gets in the way. But in no way was I going to let this series fall off, so I figured it was time to start rocking these again to close out the amazing and incredible year that I had. So here’s the latest – 13 songs from all over the map, just joints that I am really feeling and I hope you feel too. Let’s get focused – on THE MUSIC. Thanks a lot!
