What's Happenin' Brother Marvin
Friday, April 3, 2009 at 12:50AM Today, April 2nd, is Marvin Gaye's Birthday and he would be 70 years old today...Such a powerful spirit with such a powerful soul and he delivered such a powerful message. A DC native with original swag...arguably the pioneer of east coast swag..When the world wanted him to go one way, he decided to speak from his soul...Wow...How many artists can say that? Shit, how many people can say that? A living example following your spirit to making timeless art...An inspiration...A Sage...I miss him...Happy Birthday Brother!! Here is a Marvin Mix in celebration. How many times have you heard "Give It Up" in its entirety?
