Hip Hop

What’s up everyone!  Really hope you enjoyed episode #40 and the heavy hitters displaying their great art called music and also for you to support those artists along with each and every artist showcasing their contributions to the world.  The Overlooked Tracks Podcast has discovered or rediscovered 8 genuine music artists that will close out the year 2022.  It has been an interesting, intensive and sometimes impossible to believe in moments we’ve viewed, heard or experienced through the year 2022, but the most important about the travel through the year is that you made it out alive, hopefully in better health physically and mentally and wealthy in knowledge, experience, more money in your bank account and in the picking of great music.  As far as great music, we confidently believe the Overlooked Tracks Podcast was a contributor in you finding, enjoying and support the artists you have in your music library.  

I said on episode #39 that I need to determine if another trip on the magical music bus is required.  That has been decided and I am staying my butt at the Genre Media Group Studios (our parent company) because it’s cold outside and gas is expensive for the moment because the world economy is getting back into the swings of things, but unfortunately many things have been rising in pricing. 
Then came the perfect music genre to celebrate the 40th episode of the Overlooked Tracks Podcast and this time we’re celebrating the BOOM-BAP sounds of TRIP-HOP.  Trying to find a good way to describe this music genre because most websites I found all stated the same thing:  Trip-Hop is dead!!  Just like other music genres from previous episodes, music is not dead unless the world decides not to hear it anymore!!  Well, I found six music artists that says otherwise - Trip Hop is alive and thriving and a reemerged form of the music is here to demonstrate its power.  Thanks to the masters of Massive Attack, Portishead, Tricky and DJ Krush (just to name a few), displaying the maestros of sounds, lyric and beats of Trip Hop. 

Welcome again to the Overlooked Tracks podcast and welcome to a form of sharing music for all to experience something special.  We’re not trying to be the flashy music podcast many may “temporary” enjoy, our goal is to simply provide an experience you can use for the long term, to cherish quality music for years to come.

The Overlooked Tracks podcast is back home after exploring the great lands of Central Asia and the Middle East discovering such awesome music for you to listen, share and enjoy.  Now along with that experience of understanding the greatness of that part of the globe, let us have focus on the outstanding vibes, melody, lyrics, and everything else of what women in music brings to the world.  Making a strong case from our past focus of women music artists in episode #12, this episode and the next will take you on a journey of music the better half of the human race, the intelligent, the more talented and of course the more beauty these and many more music artists bring to the airwaves and the internet.  In other words, women in this art form called music simply brings grace we all need in our lives. 

I must tell you that this has been a rough ride in the magical music bus through Central Asia and the Middle East this time around. From the constant digging in the music crates of record shops (both online and the physical stores), that was an adventure in itself.  I am telling you ladies and gentlemen, when I tell you there are tons of music in the world, THERE ARE LITERALLY tons of music to discover.  From this experience, I, Kenny Chiba am certainly happy to dig and dig and dig some more and communicate with some great musicians desiring to share their craft with the world.  Hence, the reason of the Overlooked Tracks podcast – To display and help enhance your music library with music you’ve simply been overlooking. 

First up – Happy 2022!!  It is happy to start the year on a positive note:  A new year, looking forward to growth of the mind and spirit to explore the world of more music, and to share the discoveries with you, the listener to this podcast and this podcast is called the Overlooked Tracks Podcast!! 
A very small sample of a very energetic, very historic, very fun to listen, and very World-wide music genre of Rap & Hip Hop. Again, a hard mission to explore and pick and choose and this episode only touches the surface and hopefully, just hopefully you can have an enjoyable experience on exploring this kind of music without passing judgement, just like all of the rest of the music genres being played on this podcast. 
Music is here on earth to enjoy and join people, not to separate and degrade.  Start the new year off with an open mind and soul and see where it can take you.  You’ll be surprised.  Just one of missions of the Overlooked Tracks podcast – One music, One Genre, One Love.

It is time to get back on the magical music and explores more jewels in music with part 2 of the Asian Excursion – also called Episode #21 of the Overlooked Tracks podcast.  My name is Kenny Chiba and I had to reorganize the arrangement of this podcast because to tell it truthfully, it was overwhelming to get all types of music from the Asian Continent between episodes 20 and 21.
I had to pump the brakes and come to realize that I will continue to do my best to provide you the very best at music that’s being overlooked, but I REALLY NEED YOUR HELP on finding musical gems, so go to www.overlookedtracks.com/contact to give feedback and suggestions on music, go to Twitter and looked “OVERLOOKEDTRAX” to Direct Message me and guide me to a direction where great music is being buried and needs to be dug up and give life to the rest of us.
Music is the source of expression, the source of both mental and physical power and most of all to sooth the soul of the beauty and the beast.  In other words, Music should be simply shared throughout our lives to live the best lives we can.

As we are on the Overlooked Tracks Music Bus traveling to several destinations of The Philippines, Singapore, India and the Russian Federation and my goodness this has been a ride to journey on because there is music all over the place, an adventure to both listen to traditional and modern type of music.  Yes, it has been difficult to pick, which is what makes the trip even more pleasurable to take – to seek, explore and discover sounds from the Music Universe, which indeed is a very BIG place and again simply to live the best life with music as much as possible with the many MANY SOUNDS, RHYTHMS AND BEATS.

We are back on the road to our next destination and these set of tracks for episode #19 can be described by one word – MOTIVATION.  Tracks 1 and 2 are for the motivation of love, togetherness, and staying focused on each other during moments in life. Track 3 is simply telling you to keeping it real and stop standing still when you got to live and it’s all a big game but the difference is how you play the field!! In others words – GET OFF YOUR ASS AND LIVE YOU AND LIVE THE BEST OF YOU!!

The Overlooked Tracks Podcast has made it to the great Continent of Australia where the music scene is seriously on point with its genuine feeling of musicians providing top rated tracks from many genres, pure enjoyment of their creations of music and just having some good ole fashioned fun to help you enjoy the day.
Several places in Australia displays music and song that’s inseparable in Indigenous cultures and part of unbroken traditions dating back thousands of years.
In the twentieth and 21st centuries, carrying the traditions of Indigenous musicians played a vibrant role in defining Australia’s modern music identity, in building bridges with the broader Australian community, and in actively contributing to our cultural expression internationally.
