⚖️ TIEBREAKER — REGULAR REACTION

One of this week’s Patreon priority polls ended in a tie between:

🎵 Faith Evans — Soon as I Get Home

and

🎵 Blackstreet ft. Dr. Dre & Queen Pen — No Diggity

Two completely different sides of ’90s R&B.

One is smooth, emotional, and built around Faith’s vocals.

The other is cool, confident, and instantly recognizable from the opening beat.

🎂 Today is my birthday!

I don't usually make a big deal out of birthdays, but I wanted to say thank you to everybody who's been supporting the channel.

Whether you've watched a reaction, suggested a song, voted in a poll, joined the Patreon, or just stopped by to listen to some music with us, I appreciate it.

It's been cool discovering so many artists, songs, and stories together over the last year.

And we're still just getting started. A lot more to come and more I want to add to the channel so stay tuned.

We have a pretty cool live performance dropping @5:30p today so make sure you tap in with us.

If you'd like to support the channel's growth, you can hit up YouTube's 'Thanks' option feature under my videos and Patreon is always available (patreon.com/CITEBLK), but honestly just being here and being part of the community means a lot.

Looking forward to another year of great music and great conversations.
