[22 HDWK 100] Volume 2 - focuses on explorations of self with tracks trending toward the depths of emotional struggles, both personal and collective. We hear about the many forces causing pain and suffering, but then also triumphant affirmations of self. At the same time there are the voices of encouragement, offering advice, mentorship, and words of wisdom. There are the tips and tools to overcome challenges to physical and psychological well-being… the supports, the relationships, and the determination. How do we make it through? How do we persevere? How do we transcend current circumstances in service of better... not just for our self, but our selves? link.tree in bio #healingpowerofhiphop #ourselvesmixtape #HDWK >>> For the full Hoodwink 100 playlist for 2022, go to: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/05XFWOah2S7hYMZglw9W3T?si=F8ZKJe6kQBmK27Wd31FBww https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm45c5tLlBp/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

As a mix comes to life it kind of makes itself. There’s a plan and then as the saying goes, God laughs. The purpose of the mix is to give a flavor of some of the most important recent Hip Hop that I’ve discovered in 2022… It is not the only and not the best in the universe of Hip Hop that’s come out. The purpose is to share material that may be useful to those doing Hip Hop related work in school, after school, in therapy, and in a range of other settings. The purpose is also to help us all to continue exploring the difficult issues and do some reflecting on how we can do and be better as individuals and make conditions better for the young people in our lives. How do we learn, grow, and improve our mental health? How do we become more attentive to the needs of our communities? Volume 1 starts and ends on being firm and clear about who and what you are in the world… thinking about now and the long-term. But throughout emerged a strong focus on two areas, thinking about gun violence and how we cope with stress and trauma, current and intergenerational. This is how the cover came about… capturing today’s sobering trends for youth and young adult deaths linked to guns and drugs. And this cover chart doesn’t cover the staggering disparity for the Black community. https://www.mixcloud.com/raphael-travis/your-self-22-hdwk-100-vol-1/ (link also in bio via link.tree) #healingpowerofhiphop #yourselfmixtape #HDWK https://www.instagram.com/p/Cm0YJMSI1Vk/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Beats and Lyrics by #djhoodwink… REAL EYES the mixtape is a journey that encourages you to take a closer look, past and present, so that you realize where the truth starts and finishes. Real eyes realize real lies... the quote is most often attributed to Tupac but it has been used by many, including this year by Bison on "Real Lies" and Mick Jenkins on "Contacts." How do you use a mixtape? To spark reflection and discussion... and debate. To promote awareness and well-being. To feel, do, and be better. To better connect and belong. To inspire change... personal and community-level change. There is no good and bad music... Ask yourself, "What can I learn?" "How can I grow?" Featuring: Dave, Nas, JID, Cordae, Kota the Friend, Mac Miller, Rapsody, Ms. Lauryn Hill, D Smoke, Mick Jenkins, Public Enemy, Polo G., Jidenna and More! Bars with substance! Remember… Listen. Think. Act! #realeyesmixtape #djhoodwink #HDWK #healingpowerofhiphop Hip Hop culture is a gift that keeps on giving. https://www.instagram.com/p/CZEKypsrlcM/?utm_medium=tumblr
