Timeless Truth – Irene (ft. Roc Marciano).

Irene knocked out my power for a full seven days. This meant a week of roaming between relatives’ houses and walking to Starbucks for Internet access. My family and friends are safe, for which I am thankful, but that didn’t stop me from hating the Long Island Power Authority as much as the Taliban for a week.

I don’t know how Hempstead was affected by the Hurricane or if Roc Marciano was even home last week (his Twitter suggests he wasn’t), but I can easily tie this track’s beautiful David Axelrod loop to my week long sojourn in the dark, sitting around hoping my lights would turn on soon.
