Sherród Faulks of DEEP BLACK

"Nothing gets me through a long throwing, trimming, and glazing session like a pumping playlist. For me, this playlist is the ultimate blend of current and throwback, Hip-hop and R&B, ass-shaking and head-banging. Music immerses me in a sea of sensation; when the mood is just right, I’m inspired to do my best work and push through the challenging parts of creation. This playlist begins with 'Formation' and ends with 'HUMBLE,' intentionally. Let it serve as a reminder that you are immense and yet have far to go."
