Hey Growns, as you turn from one radio station to the next it’s easy to ask the question with disgust, “Where is the good music? Where is the music for GROWN FOLKS?”
Well, “wayment” (wait a minute). Before you go dust off the jams from ’77, ’89 or ’96, check out this list of artists who released an album THIS YEAR (2014).
You just may not have heard about it on the radio.
In addition, this year Grown Folks Music had the pleasure of speaking with many of the artists on this list. (Check out our interviews).
*Disclaimer: this list is NOT all inclusive. We know there’s some artist/albums we’ve missed. This list is just to guide you in the right direction as you consider giving the gift of music to someone or even yourself this Christmas.
