This is your Daily 2% – Chilled and Ready to Serve. We will try to bring you one "chill" track every day. This is for when you get home and you are trying to unwind. You reach for that glass of wine or that unlit Black & Mild or maybe you reach for something more herbal. This track is for those times. We are just your milkmen and I'm here to make a delivery. Chill…
Today's delivery is brought to you by Jehst. This UK hip-hop artist is definitely a veteran to the game but there's still a good chance you've never heard of him. That's just how the music game is nowadays. We picked his album, The Dragon of An Ordinary Family, as one of the top albums of 2011 but there's so much music out there that it can be pretty difficult to stay completely up to date on all the goodness. But hey, that's what you pay us for! The track I'm bringing to you today is called "Tears In Rain". It's a sorrowful filled picture that paints Jehst as a regretful human being that has suffered just like the rest of us. But recognizing that everyone shares suffering kind of makes things easier since you know you aren't alone. Because no matter who you are; you will have some of those days, weeks, months, or years of pain. It reminds me of a quote from comedian Louis CK about finding your soul-mate: "….you'll meet the perfect person, who you love infinitely, and you even argue well, and you grow together, and you have children, and then you get old together, and then she's going to die…that's the best case scenario." This may be kind of a downer but you always have to remember that without pain there is no joy. Check out the track and…chill? (Look at the picture below after reading/listening)
