From the beginning of time, music has changed the hearts and lives of many. Quite often, people look to music as a way to channel their emotions. With the constant autonomy of Americans, we find ourselves always on the run. Music is used as a way to pass time. Students can be seen wearing earbuds while walking to class and while doing homework. Various search engines are viciously searched on repeat for new music to add to Spotify and Apple Music libraries. So today, I've decided to give you 5 new songs to bump to and a little bit behind the meaning of each of those songs.
1. Little by Octavian (contains expletives)
2. Summertime Magic by Childish Gambino

Unlike any of Childish Gambino's other songs, "Summertime Magic" gives a flare to his new fourth studio album. With an upbeat tone and positive lyrics, this song is written as a devotion to an unnamed woman. This is a great song to throw on at a barbecue and enjoy this new track with your friends.
3. Reboot (ft. Chance The Rapper and Joey Purp) by KAMI and Smoke Ono

Looking for another fire-spitting rap song? This is for you. These rappers alternate back and forth, giving different styles within the accelerative beat.
4. SICKO MODE by Travis Scott (contains expletives)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMdgAuyYZRo
Isn't every song off of 'ASTROWORLD' great? This song definitely doesn't disappoint. With supporting vocals by Drake and Swae Lee, this song reveals how Travis has respect for the rap game and that mindset definitely puts him at the top of his competition. Scott talks about the luxury items that he has obtained over the years in the first verse. By the second verse, he goes on to explain how he doesn't like having the spotlight on him. As a personal tribute to others, "SICKO MODE" tries to be a song that people can relate to within their own lives.
5. 1997 DIANA by BROCKHAMPTON (contains expletives)

2017 was the year for Kevin Abstract and the rest of BROCKHAMPTON. The band actually dropped a trilogy of albums, which reveals their tedious and empowered work ethic. With this being a catchy song, BROCKHAMPTON has plans on making 5 more albums over the next year period. Be on the lookout for more music from this up and coming group.
I hope this abstract taste of music is an eye-opener. As many of you, I enjoy hearing about the music tastes of other people because I'm always expanding my song compilations.
