Today is a day for what you make it, how you make it, with whom you either choose or have no choice but to be drawn to. For that by design, default of destiny, if anything today is a celebrate that intangible thing that goes beyond pencil, word or thought. So I turn to music. An oldie but goodie, I hope you enjoy this one, and this Valentine’s Day, with that certain special someone that makes you feel big, valued, cherished, and most of all loved. Happy Valentine’s Day.

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…
