Welcome to the Pacific Northwest. Where it rains often and sunny days are too precious not to enjoy.
“Marion Sunshine” – Blue Scholars
For all the depressing weather that comes with our falls and winters, sunshine just makes our summers that much better. That’s why dynamic Seattle hip-hop artist, Geologic, walked outside one sunny day and decided to write a song about it. This is a good song to sit back and relax to.
“Knock Knock” – Mac Miller
This Pittsburgh MC has been steadily taking over the mixtape game with his unique feel good style that relates to hip hop fans around the nation. This track is perfect for cruising around town with the sun roof open and the windows down. It exemplifies the mood and swagger that a sunny day could invoke in anybody.
“And We Danced” – Macklemore
Macklemore loves what he does. That’s what he portrays in this track. He wants his listeners to feel that same joy and pride, and dance their faces off in the process.
“Call Me Maybe” – Carly Rae Jepsen
This song is ridiculously awesome. The lyrics and beat are painfully simple, but that doesn’t matter. Everybody should appreciate this song, especially the guys who are afraid to admit they like it. There is no better feeling than driving down the road fist pumping to this song.
“Opposite of Adults” – Chiddy Bang
Remember how awesome the last day of school was back in middle school? Summertime meant fun, no responsibilities, and shenanigans. These two Drexel University dropouts formed one of hip hop’s super-duos to take us back to how awesome it can be to act like kids.
“Paint” – Sol
This song combines everything that makes this Pacific Northwest artist so popular. A good rhythmic beat you can dance to, lyrical flow with a purpose, and a story of soul and a dream.
“Feel So good” – Mase
Old school Bad Boy Records. Enough said.
