Recently I started exploring different genres as background music while I study for my finals, sometimes funk, soul and sometimes jazz.
Two of the songs that resonated with me the most are these two
Marvin Gaye - Come Live With Me Angel

Roy Ayers - Searchin’

I need more of this vibe, feels very care-free, like spring, beautiful to begin your day with and study to

I love this
I need MOREEEEE

Damn this is awesome. Got a lot of my favorites and a lot of s*** I haven’t heard. Thanks b

Shuggie Otis - Inspiration Information

Steely Dan but no Shuggie!

Billy Paul - Going East

These are crazy! My friend also said I should check out Al Green, any idea if I should start with a certain album of his?

Al Green is great, I'd say start with 'I'm Still in Love With You' then 'Call Me'

Minnie Riperton is nice too, her album 'Come to My Garden' is flawless.

Gil Scott too

See what ya think of those.

Al is amazing

My family used to play this song! I thought Mr Morale and The Big Steppers title was inspired by this band and that we’ll get this type of music from Kendrick

Butcher Brown is a modern band doing a similar sound to Roy Ayers and RAMP

You would enjoy other current jazz acts like Makaya McCraven, Dougie Stu, Jeff Parker & the New Breed as well as poppier, more soul artists like DJ Harrison

bro sent me a whole gold mine!

I shuffled around this today as I studied and found some great vibes

Yeah it's a playlist I been casually crafting over a few years. Makes for a good time when I'm smacked while on the job

been adding to this playlist for what feels like my whole adult life. over 35 hours long 🤙🏾
