The Ultimate Summer Playlist

The summer of 2010 is finally upon us. With that said, I needed some music to bump in my car while I’ve got the windows and sun roof down. These songs range from the cool sounds of the 70’s all the way up to Nas & Damian Marley’s new album, “Distant Relatives”. (Which hit stores yesterday, so if you don’t have it yet…well, you know what to do). Anywhoo, I hope you enjoy the songs as much as I enjoyed putting this all together. Download em all+ Put on iPhone/iPod+ Bring to social gathering = Find Success.
