Hello everyone my name is Edward Ladines and I was born and raised in Brooklyn, Its hard to share who I am in words, but i would say i’m reserved, chill and a very diverse person: from my Ecuadorian, Honduran & Italian descent, to my sense of style, and my musical interest, etc. But to shed light on who I am, I choose to represent my self with a 10 song playlist; which was harder to make than I initially thought.
In my playlist the songs ranges through the years and genres; however shows my core interest which pertains to Hip-Hop/Rap and its culture. Going Through from start to finish my first song “16 Chapels” by an uprising rapper from Houston, Travi$ Scott; I choose this song since I enjoy the sound and sonics of this song the production is on another level, also one of my personal favorite songs to listen while on the subway. Next is “Trust” by Queensbridge native, Nas. Which expresses an importance of mine: trust and has one of my favorite lines: “A caterpillar can’t relate to what an eagle envisions” The next song by Cleveland native, Kid Cudi “Soundtrack 2 My Life” I can relate with at many levels especially the last line in the 3rd stanza. I choose “Sweet Child O’ Mine” By Guns & Roses since its one of my favorite Rock Songs which I have discovered listening to older music and i like how it was present in one of my favorite movies; Step Brothers(2008). The next couple of songs “Can’t Tell Me Nothing” & “O-O-H Child” by Kanye West and The Five Stairsteps respectively, are my personal anthems and additionally each one also have been in movies I heavily enjoyed, The Hangover(2009) and Guardians of the Galaxy(2014). The next song is “Thinkin Bout You” by Frank Ocean has importance as it was a song in my repertoire that I and others would sings throughout High School. “Heard Em Say” is a underrated classic by my favorite artist Kanye West and the Hook is something i always try to keep in mind. Next is “P.Y.T” my favorite song by the king of pop, Michael Jackson which I find to be underrated classic of his. Finally is “Show Me A Good Time” by Drake which is a song I love mostly due to the production of the beat gives a ’90s (era I was born) feel with kicks, scratches and all. Hopefully you have gained a better understanding of who I am.
