The Carters - EVERYTHING IS LOVE

When I look back at iconic moments that I’ve witnessed throughout my life, one that comes to mind almost immediately is when Beyoncé and JAY Z surprise released a project in the earlier part of the summer in 2018. Like everyone else I was shocked, excited, and immediately indulged myself in the world of The Carters.

This is, to me, the perfect encapsulation of a “summer album.” I remember drinking entrancing drinks and it being so warm and sunny outside while I listened through this work. I mean, the first track is indeed titled SUMMER. 

This is an album that mostly highlights a lot of Beyoncé and JAY Z’s accomplishments throughout their separate careers and careers together. Unlike most who boast and brag about their riches and lavish life it actually feels as if they are inviting you to celebrate you, and your friends as well as just life in general. They also do a lot of recognizing life in America and accomplishments of other black people. As a black person this felt like an absolute win and celebration for not only me but others like me.

My highlights would be:
