Sounds For The Moment
L.o.V.E. (League of Villainous Enigmas)
L.o.V.E. (League of Villainous Enigmas) is a playlist for the romantics who’ve tasted both honey and heartbreak. It’s where affection comes laced with mischief, where passion whispers in code and every kiss carries a warning. These tracks speak to the villains we become in love stories we never wrote, and the fantasies we die trying to live.In this league, truth hurts just enough to heal. Guarded hearts collide in rhythm, dancing between danger and desire. L.o.V.E. isn’t just about music — it’s about the tension of tenderness, the allure of being out of someone's league, and the quiet power of silence that keeps you sound. This one’s for those who’ve felt too much, said too little, and still remember what it felt like to be unforgettable.
Compilations
Check out my latest Compilations. Each playlist tells a story of its own, capturing a moment, a feeling, or an experience in sound. Whether you’re here to discover new music, explore stories, or just vibe, there’s always something fresh to find.
Phondeaux Vibes
A playlist for the ones who find their rhythm in reflection. Phondeaux Vibes is colder than most, but the groove stays rich. For the Don who dances alone — and never misses a beat.
L.o.V.E. (League of Villainous Enigmas)
A playlist for the romantics who play the game on hard mode. In L.o.V.E. (League of Villainous Enigmas), every truth stings sweet, and every pleasure comes at a cost. For those who’ve been out of reach, in too deep, or caught between surrender and survival.
Serenade
Serenade is for the soft returns. The quiet comebacks. The voice you’re still learning to love again. This playlist isn’t about being loud — it’s about being honest.
Afro Gems
A playlist crafted in stillness, powered by rhythm. Afro Gems is where healing meets heritage — where numbness gave way to movement, and where I remembered how to feel again.
Raw, Sinful Moments
A soundtrack for the sins you can’t repent — only confess. Raw, Sinful Moments is where guilty pleasures and wild memories meet, wrapped in melodies made for stolen nights and whispered glances.
Lovely Lust
When it gets colder, some turn to covers. Others turn to each other. Lovely Lust is for those late-night rendezvous and early morning regrets you don’t really regret. A playlist for the tender and the tempted.
New Moon, New Muse
A new moon, a new muse, and a love story written in fleeting moments. New Moon, New Muse is the soundtrack to romance found in passing, nights that felt like forever, and the kind of connection that lingers long after it’s gone. Press play and let the city lights guide you
Trapped In The Trenches
Feeling like you’re stuck in motion, fighting battles with no end in sight? Trapped In The Trenches is the soundtrack for those moments. Hunger sharpens, aggression rises, and patience fades. These sounds turn the madness into music, fueling the fight until the war is won.
Just Another Playlist
I move forward, but the path is unclear. The summers grow colder, the silence grows louder, and the weight hasn’t lifted. Just Another Playlist is a soundtrack for the moments when the mind wanders and the heart weighs heavy.
The Afro Grind
When the stakes are high, the grind doesn’t stop. The Afro Grind is a playlist born from a time of relentless focus, big plans, and unshakable determination. Let this collection of tracks inspire your hustle and keep you locked in on your goals.
