It's that time again 馃. It's another Sunny Tuesday, at least Sunny from Nigeria 馃槀.
As always I'm here with three tunes to give, and as always, my three Rap songs would be on a single topic; 饾敿饾暉饾暆饾暁饾晿饾暀饾暐饾晼饾暉饾暈饾晼饾暉饾暐
Just like my other tunes in this challenge, these three raps tunes are songs about a single topic. In this sense as the topic is enlightenment the tunes would be about how the rappers gained a sense of enlightenment. Enlightenment about their life, job, etc. These songs would really give you an insight into life and different aspects of it. So without further chatter, here they are;

Snow on tha Bluff- Jcole
Now Jcole isn't a stranger in any of my entries in this challenge. Everything about his songs just resonates with me, from his words, to flows, to beats and even more the messages in his songs.
On this tune, Jcole was infact talking about enlightenment. Using his words, he tells us a story about a girl that was a scholar but didn't have true enlightenment. How she ridiculed people who were not as fortunate as her, how she was angry at everybody who where putting their all into an aspect of life yet got little returns.
Jcole was then angry at her, because she tried to lead people yet she ridiculed and attacked the same people..
He proceeds to suggests to her how she can lead them. There is a lot more about the story, but I don't wanna deny you of the enlightenment so listen to it. The guitar beat is beautiful by the way馃槏鈾ワ笍
Real - Kendrick Lamar
Here's another one of my favorites in my entries. If you've been listening to his songs from my list, you should know that his songs are regularly fire. If you don't believe me ask @ablaze our honorable sponsor of this contest, if you don't believe him and me just listen to this song.
This tune is based on the aftermath of the last Kendrick Lamar song on my previous entry Sing about me, I'm dying of thirst.
In this song, Kendrick Lamar was just recovering from the aftermath of his friends death. In this song he talks about his search of being Real by comparing it to how he's peers in Compton define and see the word Real.
Mortal Man - Kendrick Lamar
I think I may have an addiction to his music though 馃槓. He's just too good馃槶馃槶馃様鉂わ笍. If they say list your top 50 hip-hop songs, this would have to be in my top 10.
This song is the very epitome of enlightenment, being the last track in his album To Pimp a Butterfly, it was guaranteed to be great, but damn馃樀. Okay enough of that馃槀
In Mortal Man, Kendrick was talking about how fragile the Musical career is and how easily it is for fans to change their views about our leaders. He gives us great examples and to be honest when I listened to this I was appalled by how easily we switch lanes. The song then ends with a poem that he has been building throughout the album and a suprise interview.
For all hip-hop fans, it's an emotional rollercoaster. So as you listen to this make sure you're with your tissues, for we're all simply Mortal Men馃様
So that's all from me this week, to be honest I'm thinking of switching my views, maybe I won't be bringing only hip-hop and rap, although I do still have a lot to give.
As always a shout-out to @ablaze
@blanchy
@tengolotodo and others that I don't really know 馃槀 for sponsoring such a great contest in which we can bring up music for different cultures.
I would love to listen to all your comments on the songs so drop a lot, which was your favorite song, should i sometimes change my genres, e.t.c .
Have a happy musical Tuesday 馃
