Titled “Songs For Survival 2,” the rap icon has included records by himself, , Nina Symone, James Brown, and more. He’s also got Syl Johnson’s “Is It Because I’m Black,” ‘s “Keep Ya Head Up,” Marvin Gaye’s “What’s Going On,” and more tracks that could be used to describe the current social climate.
The uplifting playlist is available exclusively TIDAL, featuring seventeen songs.
