1 MONTH SINCE THE FIRST POST! (Time is passing way too fast y'all I'm scared) Forgot how to make this blog UI dark mode friendly (my bad y'all LMFAO). But today we're doing a super important record to me. Unfortunately, it's not on any streaming platforms . Every week I'll be doing a lot of black artists/musicians. I vividly remember one summer night, I was skimming through old 90s R&B records. At the time, I was super inspired by Sonder's and Tory Lanez' sample selection on Chixtape 4 (more specifically I wanted my beats to sound like "Proud Family", "Slow Down", and "Differences"). So I'd go through Omar Kaan's channel to find some HEAT. But then I see this interesting album pop up. I was 'fresh' off a devastating situationship (I saw the girl EXACTLY where I first met her on a random Thursday after claiming I was healed). I was worried about becoming an adult, worried about things an 18-year old SHOULD...

So it's approaching about 2 years without the late, great Shaun Martin. Most people don't really know about him and his impact on gospel music as a whole. So all I'll say is, if you listened to Kirk Franklin's music. You've heard Shaun Martin. He was a composer, pianist, and arranger of a good portion of early 2000s black gospel music. Here are some of my favorites. the list (in no particular order): Kim Burrell - Anything : I've been revisiting this particular album recent. And man, if you actually watched the VHS live recording. You can see a young Shaun Martin acting a fool with the circus riff , it's so hilarious you can tell EVERYONE was genuinely embarrassed by the riff bro.😭😭😭
