Today I'll be talking to a specific sub-genre of music I like to listen to when I'm studying, doing homework, driving, or just simply chilling out. That sub-genre is Lofi hip-hop. Now, I'm sure you're wondering what that it is. Lofi hip-hop is  A subliminal sub-genre of conscious hip-hop that is characterized by the high-utilization of elements such as introspection and seeks to engage with elements of human emotion. Elements such as high distortion as well as mellow sounds are more prominent features of any lofi hip-hop soundtrack. (https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=lofi%20hip-hop) Some artists of this include Substantial, Nujabes, Jinsang, Vanilla, J a r j a r, beatmachineron, and plenty more! If you're interested in taking a listen, this is typically the playlist I listen to.

March 1, 2018, marks the 45th anniversary of the beloved album by Pink Floyd, The Dark Side of the Moon. The album originally released on March 1, 1973, and has sold an estimated 45 million copies since then making it Pink Floyd's most successful albums and one of the best selling albums of all time.        In light of the recent anniversary, I decided today's blog post should be about all things Pink Floyd. Pink Floyd formed in 1965 in London. The band was founded by Syd Barrett, Nick Mason, Roger Waters, and Richard Wright. Pink Floyd is known for their psychedelic and progressive music. With the release of The Dark Side of the Moon, Pink Floyd blew up in the music scene. David Gilmour, guitarist and vocalist, joined the band in 1967. Barrett, the former lead vocalist, left in 1968 due to deteriorating mental health leaving Gilmour to lead the band. Roger Waters became the band's main lyricist and is credited with creating the concepts behind the albums The D
