Welcome to the first Friday Mixtape of summer! Rather, welcome to summer- today being the first day of the season, even though it feels long overdue. Things in the ATL have been heated up for a few weeks now, and some good, upbeat music is necessary for those windows-down evening drives, or a day by the pools. So, I’ve tried to keep this week’s mix a little more up-tempo… tried. So it’s not exactly a summer-theme or anything, but just a small change of pace from what I’ve been including on the mixtapes lately.
If you’re looking for a summer mix though, a couple of my fellow music bloggers have done just that. Check out these posts for their summer mixtapes:
