iLLVibes Podcast: Tape 1: I Love Hip Hop (Side A)

Music has always been one of the driving forces behind the blog and, more importantly, our lives. Music possesses the uncanny ability to connect with the listener on an emotional level, thus coloring our moods and shaping our behavioral patterns. This ability to tap into our "emotional mind state", makes music an attractive art form, because it is able to produce different emotional responses for different people at the same time.The iLLVibes podcast was designed to embrace this notion of music as an emotional stimulus, and seeks to be the remedy for all that ails you.

When I was younger, I used to dub mixes from the radio onto cassette tapes, and I would play them over and over again until the tapes would physically "bust". Music was so important to me back then (and still is), as it helped me get through the day-to-day challenges that I faced in life. Although the age of information technology has brought about so many new advances, I also believe that it has also weakened our connection with the music as we are constantly bombarded by a plethora songs and images. With that in mind we have created a podcast which, similar to our blog, lacks a specific format and agenda and simply exists to provide you with that "feel good music" that interacts with your soul. We don't claim to be DJs, so don't expect too much in the way of scratches and breaks, but we do hope that the music on these mixes will leave emotionally stimulated and thirsting for more. Without further ado....

Note: If you like any of the songs of this podcast, please go out and support the artists. Without their tireless dedication to the music, none of this would exist!
