We’ve lost many a good one for the year. Too many to go through all. From Phife to Prince and now Chester. Chester Charles Bennington’s pain comforted many through the years as one of the two lead voices in the band Linkin Park. The play•Music podcast is firmly rooted in hip hop, lyricism, and straight bars, but at its center play•Music is about GOOD music. Linkin Park’s aural artistry allowed you to appreciate their bars, their stories, their pain, and their joys through their flirtation with their love of Hip Hop. Look, turn down the electric guitar and turn up the bass and you may be surprised to hear what is left. To me? Hip Hop. That’s what’s left. Losing Chester is losing a part of me.

This week’s episode features a tribute to Chester and the boys along with the usual fare. Jay Z’s 4:44, Khaled’s Grateful, 21 Savage’s Issa, French Montana’s Jungle, and Big Boi’s Boomiverse all contribute to this episode of play•Music. Everybody seems to be leaning on Sizzla for samples so I threw him in there too. More tune for that head top of yours. Thanks for being here with me every week. #playMusic

This week’s edition is hip-hop risqué with a throwback that carries you back to the early 90s scene of billboard hip hop hits that went pop. Before people were mad at Drake or Nicki for being candy pop, there was Sir Mix-A-Lot, Rob Base & Dj E-Z Rock, the 69 Boys, Crystal Waters, and others that were as mainstream as pizza. The contemporaries are there from More Life, HNDRXX, Future, Trapp(y) New Year, and Rather You Than Me. Migos, Young M.A, Jidenna, Ralo, Playboi Carti and Lil Uzi Vert rep for the new school while Kendrick, Lupe, Fat Joe & Remy Ma, and J. Cole rep for the bars. Jay Z, Big Boi, Killer Mike and Bone Thugs are in repping for the OGs… and boy oh boy do Big Boi and Killer Mike go hard on Kill Jill… Its an epic beginning to this week’s edition.

So as Future says… to my n*ggas, my goons, my brothers, ma partnas… thank you for being here… thank you for subscribing… #playMusic

Trapp(y) New Year features in the early session prominently with Trey Songz sliding into every lady’s DMs with his brand of drippy sexy? For the ladies so it’s ok I suppose and I was all up in my feels so hey. More Life is all through and through with the nu nu coming from different quarters on this episode. Kent Jones is present thanks to jamz off Plata O Plomo seasoning the sauce, and let’s be honest how can you have ever have enough of Lil’ Dicky, the self described piglet of p*ssy. This week’s throwback sits squat in Mordor with music not on rotation anywhere with tons of soul value. Selections from the Black, Brown and Grey albums rep the east coast with Nas, Marleys, Murder Inc and G-Unit in tow. So that’s what we’re playing (with) this week on the podcast…
