By far the most important musician of my lifetime. Q-Tip taught me about sensitivity, intelligence, humility, love while maintaining an edge to his production. I’ve learned more from his visions than anyone I’ve never met, he's also number 12 on my 50 all time greatest emcees list (more about that later). So I put together 50 songs he's produced or appeared on over the course of two hours.

Pardon any sudden/imperfect transitions or the low volume on any songs. Im not a DJ, this was a cut and paste labor of love that took many hours. I didn't go too underground but don't expect super popular songs like Award Tour, Electric Relaxation, Find A Way, Got Til It’s Gone, Breathe & Stop or Vivrant Thing.

It's been a summer for the books to say the least. This episode covers

Woman 3 (she's moving too slow for me, her scribbled out face is the artwork for this show)

Woman 4 (she almost roped me into a toxic threesome)

Woman 5 (her emotional baggage was a lot)

oh yeah, and I love someone Im not dating or spending time with

Basically my life has been insane the past three months. Enjoy

August 31st would have been my last relationship's five year anniversary

before social media, I had a blog recapping all of my dating successes and nightmares, a friend said bring it back

so I'll be attempting to do this on the 1st and 15th of each month

Episode 1 explores:

- why Im single now (recent developments have given me more to discuss next episode

- Woman 0 (this stalled before it got off the ground)

- Woman 1 (she moved too fast for me)

- Woman 2 (this was a no go immediately)

Music:

Max B "When I Wake Up"

Max B "Moving On Out The Door"

Che Grand "Too Much Too Soon"

Dana Dane "Nightmares"

Struggle, determination, betterment, growth, love for women, love for self, health, money, introspection, mental health, everything that goes into manhood.

Im too lazy to type up the tracklist, maybe you'll listen and be surprised

(My Cash App is $blackfantano if you appreciate what Im doing)

I turn 39 in five days, so I played 40 songs that shaped my life. My Cash App is blackfantano if you want to chip in for my birthday or you're a fan of my work.
